About this listen
Rachael O'Brien, a girl from the cornfields of Canton, Ohio, returns to college in North Carolina in her old Ford. Before the engine has cooled, she finds herself in a passionate lip-lock with the man she's been fantasizing about, making sophomore year seem full of promise.
When a bejeweled oyster brooch arrives in the mail, trouble soon follows. Traveling in the same art circles as a mysterious hookah-smoking Turk as well as falling on the wrong side of the most-feared professor on campus - her advisor, her intern boss, and the teacher of an art history course she can't drop - puts a strain on campus life.
Staying on top of classes, navigating murky relationship waters, roommate drama, a psychic's warning, and a terrifying encounter from the past require cunning and wit for a girl to avoid being Shelled and Shucked.

It's '86, the era of Pop Rocks, Jelly shoes, and big hair bands. Rachael O'Brien's freshman plan seems simple: Attend a southern college away from her hometown of Canton, Ohio, earn a degree, party, and meet cute guys-hopefully acing the latter two. But being threatened by a jealous She-Devil, avoiding the advances of a 30-something redneck, and discovering an art fraud scheme mess with her "to do" list.

Story
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Story
Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for 24-year-old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she’s learned a sacred truth - appearance is everything. Nobody cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful for the camera. This is the only life Ivy knows - so when it starts to unravel, she’ll do anything to hold on. Even if that means moving to the quaint island town of Greenbrier, South Carolina, to be the new face of her stepmother’s bridal wear line - an irony too rich for words, since Ivy is far from the pure bride in white.

Story
A full-length standalone romantic comedy from USA TODAY best-selling author R.S. Grey. Beau Fortier starred in most of my cringe-worthy teenage fantasies. I met him when I was a junior in high school, a time that revolved exclusively around bad hair, failed forays into flirting, and scientific inquiries into which brand of toilet paper worked best for stuffing bras. That is, until Beau moved into the small guest house just beyond my bedroom window. A 24-year-old law student at Tulane, Beau was as mysterious to me as second base (both in baseball and in the bedroom).

Great Series!
Any additional comments?
This is a great book; this is the third book in the Rachael O’Brien Chronicles series written by Paisley Ray and narrated by Suzanne Cerreta. Rachael O'Brien, a girl from the cornfields of Canton, Ohio, returns to college in North Carolina in her old Ford. Before the engine has cooled, she finds herself in a passionate lip-lock with the man she's been fantasizing about, making sophomore year seem full of promise. When a bejeweled oyster brooch arrives in the mail, trouble soon follows. Traveling in the same art circles as a mysterious hookah-smoking Turk as well as falling on the wrong side of the most-feared professor on campus - her advisor, her intern boss, and the teacher of an art history course she can't drop - puts a strain on campus life.The narrator Suzanne Cerreta did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didn’t want to stop listening until the end. If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.
