Franco

Bright Side Series, Book 3

De: Kim Holden

Narrado por: Jeremy York

Franco Genovese is the drummer for world-renowned American rock band Rook. He's got it all. A killer smile. Tattoos. Talent. Razor-sharp wit and humor. And a heart as big, and generous, as they come. Life is good. Steady. Uncomplicated. Just the way he likes things. Until one night at an unassuming L.A. bar changes everything.

Enter Gemma Hendricks. She's a successful young architect from Northern England with an adorable smile, sarcasm for days, and an unparalleled trusting heart. The attraction is instant. So is their friendship. It's also temporary because they'll both be heading home, thousands of miles apart from each other, in a few days. Or is it?

There's something Gemma wants more than anything else. And when Franco propositions her to provide what she's looking for, everything changes. Will it transform friendship into love, or will it be their ruin?

Jeremy York is NOT Franco

What did you love best about Franco?

The story is great from start to finish in typical Kim Holden fashion!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Franco is every bit the silly, flirty, easy going rock star we've all come to love and Kim captures his personality expertly. This narrator however, sounds like an uncool, middle aged creeper and it completely throws off the entire story. All the fun vibes and playful banter we got from Rook in the previous books are dead. Jeremy York isn't a bad narrator, he's just bad for this book

Any additional comments?

Narration can make or break a story! I highly recommend avoiding the audiobook and reading the kindle or print version instead. The story is amazing, Kim Holden is amazing, Franco is amazing.

Franco and Gemma's story is brilliant!

I love all of Kim Holden's. All. Of. Them. The narrator, Jeremy York, nailed it. I felt EVERYTHING. It was almost like being at the movies!! God Bless the Wankers!! ❤

Awesome

I loved it when some caricatures from one of Coleen Hoover’s books were in the recording studio it makes me want to here the book again and listen for other treasures. I loved the whole series I hope there will be more!

God bless the wankers!!!!

This is Franco's and Gemma love story. They meet by pure coincidence in a bar but I think fate brought them together. They are perfect for each other. They both have a magnificent carisma, great sense of humor and a bright energy that you just want to be near them. What's wrong with this two?! They both live very far away and started as a friendship develops into a great love. They both feel at some point that that love is a bit of a burden to one another. Thinking that it was brought by solidarity and not real love.
Franco and Gemma will have to stop the speculation and say what's truly on their hearts to finally get their HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

Sweet companion story to Bright Side

Sweet companion story to Bright Side and Gus, developing another of Holden's Rook band member characters.

A must read

This is book 3 in the series. Read them in order with lots of tissue. I almost have up on this author, the stories were so sad so often, but in the entirety of the series there was such amazing messages I will always be grateful to the author. THANK YOU FOR EVERY AMAZING WORD.

And baby makes three!

Another wonderful listen Kim Holden writes with love and it shows ... Jeremy York was terrific as Franco .

Such a great addition to the Bright Side books!

I LOVED Franco's journey. I was completely consumed in this story and adored Gemma. Their story was sweet, sad and absolutely grand! As I listened to the narrator, I found myself smiling as to what was going on in the story and many times I laughed out loud! This story was one I easily found myself lost in and I'm kicking myself for not having listened before now. Rook is still one of my favorite bands and it was awesome seeing things through Franco's eyes.

A exceptional story once again!!!

What a wonderful book!!! Kim holden nailed it again with this continuation of all that is good in people. I really hope that she continues writing for a long time to come.

Epic done yet again!

Wow. Kim Holden proving what an astonishing talent she is again. I love this story.
