Burnout

A Dark High School Romance

By: CoraLee June

Narrated by: Amber Bray, Tyler Darby

Maybe, if we met at another time - another life - he could’ve been mine. Maybe, if I were older. Maybe, if he wasn’t my brother’s best friend. Maybe, if he wasn’t my teacher.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

Having my dirty little secret living down the hall had me obsessing over alternate endings and happily ever afters. I’d never wanted someone so badly, but his hot and cold behavior was giving me emotional whiplash.

In the classroom, he practically ignored me. But here? In my brother’s loft? It felt like we were a thick rubber band, pulled so tight we’d snap.

Falling for Decker Harris made me realize that life wasn’t as serendipitous as everyone liked to think. We weren’t just a collection of maybes thrust into the world with hope and good intentions.

Everything started with a choice, and somewhere between grief and redemption, I chose to make him mine.

Good story, Female narration eh

I LOVE everything CoraLee June, and this was no exception. Female narration was a bit off, though. Wrong inflection at times, and some mispronounced words. Male narration was excellent!

I liked it !

First CoraLee June book I haven’t DNFd . Good story nice mellow read. It was enough to keep me interested but I wasn’t itching to turn the page either. Perfect for the reading slump I’ve been in.

An incredible Forbidden Romance

Usually with the teacher/student forbidden romances tend to be over the top with alpha males and naive girls. This is not that. This is an incredible love story. I love every single character in this book and and an unexpected love triangle you won’t see coming. The narration was perfect. Definitely a must have companion to the book.

Good story, awful narration

Oh my! Nothing like a narrator ruining a good book. Tyler Darby was good, but Amber Bray...no no no! Her over enunciation of everything got on my nerves and really took away from the story, which was pretty good. I think I would have preferred the book had I just read it.

3.5 STARS

This was my first book by Coralee June, and it won't be my last. This is a taboo/brother’s best friend/student teacher romance. I was impressed by the writing and character development and couldn’t get enough of the angst and chemistry between Blakely and Decker. Blakely’s character blew me away. She was much more mature than I initially expected. She has had to grow up quickly. She is a strong and resilient and has learned to get by in life on her own without the help of others. The first half of the book kept me engaged and listening, the second half was much harder as I found the drama over the top at times and difficult to stick with. Although, I am glad I did because the story comes together in the end and I enjoyed it overall. Amber Bray and Tyler Darby do an incredible job narrating. The power and emotion in their voices added so much to this story and I will definitely be looking out for more titles narrated by these two in the future.

I received an audio code from Wildfire Marketing Solutions in exchange of an honest review.
