Gold

By: E. J. Noyes

Narrated by: Abby Craden

When you spend your life at the top, there's only one direction you can go.

Pro alpine skier Aspen Archer's downfall happened in the worst possible way - a career-ending crash on a gold medal run at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Aspen packed up her broken life, picked up her broken body, and now hides in comfortable obscurity at ski resorts around the world, coaching tourists and ignoring her problems.

Cate Tierney knows who Aspen Archer is, but the last place she expected to meet the former Olympian was during a ski trip to Australia. Hurt by a past relationship, and with a teenage daughter to protect, Cate's initial reluctance is quickly overcome by her intense attraction. But with Cate's vacation ending in a few short weeks and Aspen's aversion to staying in one place, can their encounter be anything more than a fling?

When Cate discovers Aspen's secrets, Aspen is forced to face everything she'd been trying to forget. And everything she'd forgotten she wanted. Aspen already knows the route from start to finish doesn't always go as planned. Now she needs to figure out how to get herself back on course for good.

Simply amazing!

I have read several books by the author and just finished “Gold”. The story is brilliant, leaving you with a feeling of fulfillment.

Good but...

I love Abby Craden reading everything but that Australian accent impersonation was more like South African crossed with English Cockney. A little grating (actually, it was terrible) but luckily there wasn’t too much of it and I still enjoyed the story.

This book has so many great things and its amazing

I just finished this book again for the 4th time. I listen to it on my wife's account and I had to have it and I just finished it.
The narrative, making you aware of what the main character is thinking and feeling, putting you in that moment and that situation, its just brilliant!!!
Abby Craden just brings the characters to full life, the way you can feel thru her words is just unique!
Outstanding job ladies! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us!!

Well written and pulled me right in.

Even as a male this book brought me right in and was superb. I did find the Aspen Archer character really relatable to a level that surprised even me. Whether you enjoy Noyes' writing or not this was certainly one of her darn good books.

EJ is awesome !!!

I always love their stories,not predictable and the romance is always layered, complicated, beautiful and real. Thank you loved Turbulence too. And a lovely shout out to Abby for her narration. Her deep tones always draw me into the story.
