Main Character Energy

By: Kendall Ryan

Narrated by: Gregory Salinas, Erin Mallon, Connor Crais, Lucy Rivers

A sizzling, grumpy-sunshine small-town romance with heart, heat, and a hero you will melt for!

Andi Callahan prefers the quiet company of the dead.

As a morgue tech in a sleepy coastal town outside Boston, she lives for silence, predictability, and zero small talk.

Living people? Too loud. Too messy. Too nosy.

The dead don’t interrupt her, meddle in her life, or flirt with her.

Cole Hartley does.

He’s everything Andi avoids—charming, persistent, and entirely too good-looking.

The town’s beloved firefighter-paramedic has a hero complex the size of Massachusetts and a dangerous talent for cracking Andi’s ice-cold composure.

What starts as a harmless bet to make her smile turns into something neither of them saw coming. Now Cole’s determined to prove that life is worth the mess—and that love might be the riskiest, most rewarding thing of all.

Funny, heartfelt, and impossible to put down, this opposites-attract romance asks what happens when a woman who’s made peace with solitude finally lets herself feel everything.

Perfect for fans of quirky slow-burns, grumpy-sunshine, spicy banter, enemies to lovers, and one very determined golden retriever in human form.

Emotional Duet Narration

All the feels! Main Character Energy by Kendall Ryan was a sweet and swoony small-town romance that led my heart on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I couldn’t get enough of Andi and Cole’s grumpy sunshine energy and witty banter that had me wishing and willing for them to give in to temptation and be together. Kendall also spoils us with two love stories in one, so I adored that we also got Kate and Jack’s love story in this book! So dreamy!

Erin Mallon, Gregory Salinas, Lucy Rivers, and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in multicast duet narration. Erin’s passionate voice portrays Andi and all her guarded ice queen tendencies, while Gregory’s performance of golden retriever, Cole, is charismatic and damn endearing. Lucy’s soft, soothing tone perfectly envelops Kate’s motherly warmth, and Connor’s deep, rich baritone embodies Jack’s courage and strength. All the narrators in duet make this an immersive, memorable, and entertaining listen that made me feel all the things!

Overall, I loved this book. If you are a fan of a small-town romance with a broody, feisty morgue tech, a lovable, persistent firefighter paramedic, burrito meet cute mishaps, harmless bets worth smiling over, trying dating apps later in life, swoony coffee first dates, enticing cherry pie, intimate conversations about the past, bachelor/ bachelorette charity auctions, scary accidents, new truths revealed, love declarations, and a HEA that will squeeze your heart, then you will love Andi, Cole, Kate, and Jack’s story. I always look forward to more from Kendall Ryan.
