This book has it all, love, heat, angst, sorrow, joy and recovery. This is my first listen by this author but I doubt will be the last.

The narrators did a good job of bringing the characters to life and differentiating between each of the male and female characters in voice intonations.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Fantastic Story & Listen🎧 Enthralling & Heartfelt!

I loved everything about this book, it is a fantastic enemies to lovers sports romance novel. The story is captivating from start to end, it is so absorbing that you forget all else that is going on around and it is hard to put down once you start because you need to know what happens next. The characters and storylines she created are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two lead characters, Calliope “Callie” James and Zachary “Zach” Messiah, they were really good friends during H.S. they really got each other and their relationship turned into more. But things changed, Zach changes, basically ghosted her Callie did not know why. Callie’s life has not been the easiest, she lost her mother and she is estranged from her father and her brother, a brother who is a star basketball player in the college she is attending. If that was not bad enough the last person she thought would be there is there, Zach, and he is also playing basketball, something he never wanted to be part of because he lived in the shadow of you brother. Zach comes off as a real jerk, driven by hate and anger he wreaked it and it was eating him alive. My heart went out to him after finding out why he switched to go to Steinbeck U. Callie friended a sister of one of Zach’s teammates, Joel, so she is traveling in the same circle as him. He is not happy and the angst and tension between them is explosive but so is the chemistry. A lot goes on in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with plenty of drama, both relationship and family on both sides, angst, heartfelt emotions and a smoking hot romance. L A Cotton, thank you for another fantastic story & emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Rachel Woods and Liam DiCosimo are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They bring these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own voice and personality. Their portrayal of each character was spot on, I loved how they took each role and made it their own sounding believable and just as I pictured them to sound. Liam DiCosimo played Zach’s role with perfection and Rachel Woods did the same for Callie. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all of the characters emotions and projected them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧
