About this listen

I hated Miles Crowe more than itchy socks, "namaste" puns on yoga tank tops, and chigger bites. Combined.

Twenty-six-year-old New Orleans native Elle Jones used to be the internet's most famous meme for rejection thanks to an embarrassing teenage TV appearance. But she's finally put that past behind her, and now she's killing it as a commercial real estate agent in the coolest neighborhoods in the city.

When Miles Crowe—the former pop star who made her notorious—insists on hiring her to find a property for his jazz club, she'll do everything she can to get herself fired before he realizes who she is.

But Miles has grown up too, and Elle soon discovers that he is as passionate about the city as she is . . . and even sexier now than he was then. Will she risk exposing her humiliating past to claim a future with the guy who once nearly ruined her life?

questionable ending

I liked this but I wasn't convinced the male MC had grown enough. I felt like the female MC had a relationship with an almost reformed narcissist.

OBSESSED

I have this 4.5/5 stars. What a beautiful story. Truly the most swoony, slow burn, pining masterpiece! This takes place in New Orleans and it makes me want to visit so bad. The history and just the energy that it’s described as is something I feel like I’m missing out on. When a book can make you crave to go to a place…amazing! These characters are great, Miles = sweetest book boyfriend of the year. Omfg I love him. I am obsessed with the whole meme portion of this story. I guess I’ve never really thought about how memes I see and use of people, may have affected them, good or bad. Definitely something that makes you think about for sure.
All in all a sweet and well written romance.

Couldn’t put it down

This was the cutest and sweetest romance. A girl getting her second chance in adulthood after a disasterous incident when she was a teenager.

Really great

First book I listened to by this author. It was really great! I liked hearing about New Orleans, its history and culture and about food . I loved the characters and how their story built over time. It was engaging and good character development. No complaints!

Sweet story

I loved the overall story, and all the important details!! I felt like the drama kind of dragged on too long, and too often. I wanted to like Ellie more, but kept just being irritated with her. BUT I totally liked it enough to want to read the rest of the series, and more from this author :)

The story was great with one drawback...

I loved this story! It was funny and CLEAN, but it did get a little slow for me towards the end. That's not the drawback, though. THAT has to do with the fact that the phrase "this space" was used CONSTANTLY! I mean, I get it. She's in realty, but I hear that phrase so much at work (higher ed) that I ended up with a nervous tick. Jorjeana Marie did FANTASTIC, however. Her voice for Miles was... whew! *fans self*

A beautiful story of love

Miles and Elle’s story is a romantic story in a very romantic city full of history. This is an multifaceted history that includes the great music from the Crescent city. The two main characters are musical artists, one famous and one reluctant. Because of adolescent embarrassment by meme that came from awkward 14 year old Elle’s breakdown because of her crush and adulation for young 16 year old Miles, she lost her love for performing. The story starts 12 years later as she is a successful beautiful commercial realtor and guess who comes to her firm looking for commercial real estate. He has no idea who she is or their connection from past. The romantic story that follows has many ups and downs but is always entertaining. Another great book by Melanie Jacobson and performance by Jorjeana Marie. I would highly recommend.

A fun, vivacious main character

A neat book, with a relatable main female character. It's a fun, clean listen. I would recommend to any age person.
