Patrick is a b*tch

Jescie out did herself again, I am a sucker for Joe and really wish there was more of him, however I understand it's the FMC pov... 🤣 female narrator was phenomenal as well! I don't usually do cheating tropes but Patrick had it coming, and the truth sets you free!

Joe Arden is such a great narrator!

Joe Arden is and incredible narrator. His breathing, and voice changing are just, wow. He really brought Hawke and kid to life!

Also Jescie Hall is an incredible writer. I’ve almost finished all of her books and every story is just so powerful, well written, and captures the realistic emotions of her characters.

This was my first time reading, (or shall I say hearing), Hawke. I accidentally read kid before Hawke, which I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that order, because having met Johanna first, I couldn’t believe how different they are! I also really couldn’t help disliking Cole. She was so naive and judgement when she first met Hawke. None the less I enjoyed her character development and the story as a whole is really great. Plus Hawke! Drools!

These two books are now on my ten of best books I’ve ever read. Which incredible because contemporary romance really isn’t usually on my top books list, and I read a like, a lot, a lot.

I CANNOT wait for Kid to come out on audiobook! Especially if Joe is narrating.

Someone give that man an award

The book? Incredible. The performance? Phenomenal. Seriously the male narrator deserves endless credit for bringing Hawke to life so viscerally. The whole thing is brilliant, worth every penny or credit. I wish I could erase it from my brain so I could experience it for the first time again and again.

worth the wait!

Jescie Hall is seriously amazing! This was just another awesome addition to her books I already swoon for. Hawke makes you fall for him right away 🔥

Oh my word! What have I been missing!?

This book has all the angst, heartbreak, and swoon you could ask for. I read the blurb & thought “this is something I could get on board with,” but did not know the level of consumption! This audiobook is over 13 hours & I listened to it in a day!!! I read along while listening & felt every emotion right along with the characters.
Patrick gave me the creeper vibes from the beginning. He had everything, yet yearned for so much more. He semi seemed to come off as a bleeding heart for a quick moment, but I was super suspicious of motives.
Hawke quickly became my favorite. He was so real & genuine. You never had to guess where you stood with him. His honesty and genuine nature made it hard to dislike him or to resist him. He’s suffered a lot at the hands of others, and he’s due some happiness.
Nicole, bless her heart, she was blissfully ignorant & duped. But when tensions began to get high within the house, she slowly started to open her eyes to see the truth.
Cheating trope is often hard to get on board with, but sometimes it can be written so perfectly well that you find yourself rooting for the “other” guy. This was me very early on. I still struggled with the actual act of cheating, but as I kept going it just seemed kinda like a non-issue.
I don’t want to divulge too much more and spoil this read, but I became so emotionally invested, I was almost sad for it to end. This was my first read by Jescie Hall, and I definitely will have some backlist reading to do!

Audiobook Review:
Avery Caris & Joe Arden both delivered a great performance in their duet narration & made me fall in love with everything Hawke & Cole.
