Publisher's summary

Marion MacAlister wants to nail her audition, not get nailed. Truly. Honestly. All right...maybe she does want to get nailed, but that's just because her hottie landlord and local diner owner Mack Ryan is confusing her. Can friends become lovers? Especially friends who might not even be friends in the first place?

Going Down is the sexy and hilarious first novella in the Five Wishes series.

Adorable Wish Fulfillment

This was another great novella from Elise Sax! Marion is behind on her rent again, and uses her lucky silver dollar to make a wish in the famous wishing fountain. She's on her way home to change for an audition and she really needs to land this job. Mack, who happens to be her landlord, local diner owner, and crush all in one gorgeous package, joins her in the building's elevator just in time for it to get stuck between levels.

Having listened to three of these books now, I can say that the author's work improves with each one, and each book just gets funnier. Marion is kind of an exasperating hot mess, but still adorable. It's easy light reading that will bring a smile to your face.

Angie Hickman did a great job as usual, she has the perfect voice for these lighthearted romances. Her reading isn't too dramatic, and just sucks you right into the book. Great author/narrator combo!

A fun and sweet story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Because it's so short there's not time for much of a story line, it is there but a longer story would have allowed it to develop more or for more back story to be included.

Although, being short does mean you can listen to it all in one go which is nice.

Do you think Going Down needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, there's a nice set-up in this book for the next in the series and since it says it's book one I assume there's more, I'll be checking once I've posted this review.

Any additional comments?

A fun and sweet romance between two characters who obviously have a bit of a back story. Listening to it was a nice way to spend a couple of hours. If you like a sweet and simple romance story then you'll like this book.

Hilarious and Cute

As always Elise is highly entertaining and kept me laughing throughout the entire story. This story delivers in so many ways and I can't waiting to revisit this series in future audiobooks. Fun flirty and laugh out loud moments are definitely the best parts of this story!

Very Cute and Enjoyable Short Story

I received this audiobook free for an honest opinion. I thought Elise Sax did a great job with this romantic comedy. There were some funny spots with some cute analogies and puns. Very light reading. Elise gave us a complete story in short amount of time. However, the ending required me to finish it in my head. Not too hard to do. The narrator, Angie Hickman, did a great job of distinguishing each of the characters. She did not detract from the story as some narrators do. Love this short story. Also, great idea to give the reader an introduction of the next book at the end. I'm gonna download it now, just to hear the rest of the next story. Nice teaser.

Be careful about your wishes

Super short story about a girl down on her luck. Characters are developed and like able. Some laugh out loud moments and some rather quirky zingers. The broken elevator scene is pretty hot. I liked it and the narrator who did the reading. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Short and Sweet

Where does Going Down rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 20, really enjoyed this audiobook so much that I was sad when it ended.
Excellent writing and Angie Hickman was fantastic, had me laughing from the start.
Highly recommend this book if you want a laugh and are short on time.
