Mouth to Mouth

Beach Kingdom, Book 1

By: Tessa Bailey

Narrated by: Kas Vadim, Simone Lewis

A man with a prison record has no place around a fresh faced college student.

Tell that to Rory Prince. He should stay the hell away from Olive Cunningham. There’s one small problem, though. She won’t stop almost getting killed. With this too-smart, too-sweet girl holding his heart in her hands, Rory is powerless to do anything but keep saving her.

Homeschooled from a young age, Olive is now out on her own and discovering the world, one milkshake flavor at a time. Until recently, she has experienced life through books. She’s walked in a million sets of shoes while flipping pages—enough to know that Rory gives her once-in-a-lifetime feelings. If only he would stop trying to protect her…from himself.

Ok story. Very lengthy sex scene. A bit irritating how lengthy not because I don’t appreciate steamy. To much talking to long to get there. Lost its poignancy. Good narration with the exception of both try New England accents and completed messing it up. Massachusetts ppl drop their R New Yorkers don’t. Make up your mind mixing it for both narrators was a complete hack job. If you don’t have the accent at least bearable it’s a negative to the story not a plus

Dirty talk!

Tessa Bailey has one dirty mouth, or should I say her characters do. This is definitely an insta love book, which is not my favorite troupe but it was still entertaining and I liked it.

Hot Hot Hot!!

3.75 stars!!

Tropes: dual narration, age gap, ex-con, grumpy-ish x Sunshine, “sunbeam”

I loveeee me some Tessa Bailey!!! This was such a fun read & I’m about to devour the rest of the series

Meh

I love Tessa Bailey but this book just didn’t hit for me. I think it was a little too rushed.

Love it

I freaking love Rory Prince. He is the epitome of the broken boy hero. Had exterior with a sensitive and fragile interior. I'm just crazy about him. And I love Olive too. Though very mature for her age she still shows her lack of experience at times. and the Chemistry between them is intense and incredible. I thought the voice the male narrator used for Rory was just a little over the top. But I loved how overall narration. And the female narrator was a perfect Olive.
