Love Me Today

De: A.L. Jackson

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Andi Arndt

A jaded single dad. A woman returning to her small-town roots. Neither was prepared for their paths to collide....

I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover.

The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel–one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick.

Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.

Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.

Paisley Dae is completely reckless. She’s also the best trainer in this small town. And Evelyn gets the best.

Protecting the little girl is my one focus.

Only the sassy trainer in her cut-offs and cowgirl boots quickly gets under my skin. Distractions are dangerous, but she soon becomes everything I crave.

One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.

But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.

Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice–only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me....

📖 I really enjoy a grumpy billionaire, add a bad boy vibe with a sprinkle of broken and I’m done for. Caleb Greyson was just delicious. Paisley was recovering from a bad relationship and figuring out how to stand on her own again, but she was wild, fierce, and independent and wouldn’t let anyone push her around, not even a hot billionaire that she really wanted a job from. Those two pushed all of each others buttons and it was really fun! Enemies to lovers always burns hot and their chemistry was fire. Paisley was absolutely adorable with Evelyn, bonding with her immediately and advocating for her always. Caleb struggled to see any good in himself, and for a long time only focused on one goal. Paisley, being the strong and pushy little spitfire she is, kept the faith in him when he didn’t have it in himself, even when his past came back to haunt them. The suspense element and the way she unraveled the details from the past was very well done! My only tiny minor complaint, if you can even call it that, is that Evelyn is constantly called “the child” throughout the book and I kept feeling like I was watching the Mandalorian.

🎧 Andi Arndt is my absolute favorite female narrator! I love the tone of her voice and her speech patterns always feel incredibly natural. Additionally, one thing I absolutely love about her narration is that I can always tell when someone is talking versus an internal monologue, she slightly changes the pitch of her voice. She was also a great fit for Paisley! She brought the fierceness and passion that our FMC always shows. And Joe Arden voiced Caleb. He was perfect for our broody, broken billionaire. Joe has a voice I could listen to for days on end, and frankly I probably have! In this particular audio he showed nice range of emotion and I thought he did an excellent job voicing little Evelyn too! I know that it be tough for some of the male narrators to hit those young childlike voices, but he nailed it.

A 2023 favorite!

My favorite day! Paisley and Caleb’s enemies to lovers was a fantastic start to a new series. I absolutely loved their growth as a couple and their banter and steam? Come on. AL Jackson writes small town the way it should be written and Love Me Today did not disappoint!

Love me today

My Heart!!!♥️♥️♥️
My favorite author and my favorite two narrators this one could possibly go wrong!!! I absolutely loved it and can’t wait for what comes next!!

Perfect for fans of small town romances.

A.L. Jackson always hits the spot with the emotional small-town romances. And Love Me Today will absolutely check all the boxes for A.L. fans or just small-town romance lovers. 

I've always enjoyed going back to Jackson's books and definitely an author I can rely on when I'm looking for something specific. Love the emotions this pulled out of me. The single parent element was great to me. 

Just a couple things that kept me from loving it and while it's a me thing, just not a fan of third-act break ups for safety reasons. 

Another solid read!

Narration: I'm no stranger to Andi Arndt and Joe Arden. Always have enjoyed their narration and it was a solid performance from these two.

Amazing story!

I absolutely loved this book... and getting to listen to the audio version was even better. The narrators, Joe Arden and Andi Arnt, are two of my absolute favorite narrators since they just make the story come to life.

Caleb has moved himself and his niece, Evelyn, to Time River into a huge ranch to escape Seattle and everything that happened there. Someone is out to take everything he loves away from him, and he's vowed to keep Evelyn safe. To help Evelyn learn to ride and take care of her horse, he hires Paisley Day. They clash immediately but over time grow closer. I loved Evelyn... and how much love Paisley gives her. Caleb's character grew so much during this book since he was really horrible at the beginning.

Overall, this is definitely a book I would recommend. It's absolutely fantastic!

I received an ALC for my honest review!

Paisley and Caleb

I adore all of the small town, single dad, suspenseful goodness from this book! Loaded with lots of emotion and tension, an adorable horse loving girl and a grumpy closed off guy with his perfect match, this book told an excellent story that was steamy and thrilling with lots of twists and turns.

Things heated up with Paisley and Caleb a little abruptly but it still was played out in a very believable way. It was nice the way they got to know each other and their secrets. And Evie was the star of the show, I loved her so much!

Andi Arndt and Joe Arden tell this story wonderfully. They kept it interesting and made me not want to ever stop it. The suspense was captivating and I was constantly surprised at what happened next. Pieces were revealed bit by bit until the xplosive ending.

Love Me Today

My first book📖🎧by A. L. Jackson and it won’t be my last. Loved the narration, Joe Arden is amongst my favorite male narrators & Andi Arndt is pretty good. I wish it had more smexy times & that they had made it a little more smuttier. The storyline was good, I enjoyed pretty much everything about this book. Is it worth the credit? YES, yes it is!!!

Wow!

Wow! This book was so good! I listened to the audio and Joe Arden and Andi Arndt were absolutely fantastic! This was my first book by A.L. Jackson and she did not disappoint! I loved the small-town suspense aspect of it! I love when that is mixed into romance books! Love me today was everything and so much more!! I absolutely loved Paisley, Caleb, and Evelyn!

Love me today is the first book in the newest series by A.L. Jackson. Caleb is looking for someone to help train his little girl Evelyn with a horse. Caleb has a dark past that he working on redeeming. When he meets paisley, they start off on the wrong foot, but as he gets to know her more and sees her with Evelyn he knows he will have to suck it up and deal with her.

The narration was fantastic! Andi and Joe are amazing together! They both are fantastic expressing the emotions of both characters! Joe had me tearing up at some parts as Caleb was going through so much and he expressed that pain so well!
The chemistry and tension between Paisley and Caleb were absolute fire!! I loved Paisley’s relationship with Evelyn it was so sweet! When Caleb started to let his guard down, I was absolutely swooning!

Phenomenal

I loved every bit of this story. The writing, narrating, EVERYTHING! Already downloaded #2 and can’t wait to dive in! And wow, can I say, this was the best performance from Joe Arden I’ve ever heard. He hit it out of the park with this one.

This is a definite repeat!

This book wrung me dry! The emotion in Paisley and Caleb was palpable. The love Caleb had for his niece and his feeling of being responsible for his sister's death gutted me. I do love the change in Caleb when he embraced the love given to him. The narrators, Joe Arden and Andi Arndt, are perfection together.
