Girl in Luv

In Luv Duet, Book 1

By: Jay Crownover, Rebecca Yarros

Narrated by: J.F. Harding, Sofia Willingham

Langley Vaughn is in desperate need of a date. But not just any date. She's looking for a date to the wedding from hell. It isn't every day you're forced to be in the bridal party while your first love marries your archnemesis...otherwise known as the world's worst stepsister. The entire situation is a nightmare, and Langley is sick and tired of taking orders and forcing a fake smile. She needs to find a date who's not afraid of her family's money...someone willing to shake things up. Someone ready to go to war with the well-to-do. She needs someone who won't back down.

Iker Alvarez would do anything and everything to get his hands on some quick cash. Thank goodness for a desperate, pretty little rich girl with too much money and her heart set on an outrageous scheme. Being in the right place at the right time might just be the answer to both of their prayers - and this smart soldier has never let a golden opportunity slide by. Only, he didn't plan on liking the blonde socialite as much as he does. He is totally unprepared for the pull he feels toward her, coupled with his growing desire to protect her from the vultures and villains living under the same roof. He knows he isn't the guy Langley can count on in the long run, but damn, if he doesn't want to do everything in his power to be that man.

Contains mature themes.

Really good

It kept my attention throughout the book. Narration was great. Good story line and spice. I do wish they would have added both books together. The books are short enough to be one book. Left on a cliffhanger.

Okay, not great or wow, like other reviews say

Books 1 & 2 can totally be combined into 1. This book was included in my membership at the time. I would of been severely disappointed if this cost me cash or a credit. Just finished RY Forth Wing Series(this is great or wow)and needed to reset so I was looking for something easy and contemporary. Which it definitely hit on those two points however it was predictable & insta-love which isn’t my thing but to each their own. Love RY, when I love a book or series from an author, I eat up their other books. In this case, it left me with a bitter taste. I’ll circle back to Variation? By RY to give her another chance. I gave a reference for my scale of great or wow above, but if you’re looking for something similar or military/contemporary romance, One is a Promise by Pam Godwin… chef’s kiss 🤌🏼💋

Short and sweet

This was a shorter story than my usual listening. And i enjoyed every minute of it. Definitely out of the norm of regular romance out there. Story line is unique in that sense.

Sweetand sad love story

This is a sweet and sad love story about to people from very different backgrounds. I can't wait to listen to Part 2 Boy in Luv.

Langley and Ikers fast paced love story.

4.4 STARS ✨

I'm absolutely in love with this story.
Iker and Langley's love story is heartwarming yet heartbreaking.
However, I do understand Iker's decision, but that doesn't make the ending hurt less.

"We were like a comet bright and just out of reach." 💫😭😭😭
