Publisher's summary

It wasn't exactly like spunky, photography student Abbie Nartey ran away from her life - except, that she left under the cover of darkness and put 3,000 miles between her and her ex-boyfriend's betrayal. She went to London searching for her dream. She never expected to find love, or herself. Heir to his family's tech fortune, sexy Alexi Chase is looking for freedom - from his family and from his past. What he's not looking for is love. With secrets like his, he can't afford to let anyone get too close. But a chance rescue has him wondering if the price of keeping secrets is too high.

Will Alexi risk losing love to keep his past hidden? Will Abbie trust herself enough to love again? Or will their pasts keep them from accepting true love?

Note: This audiobook contains mature themes and is intended for audiences 18 and over.

Great Story

I loved the story line and it flowed quite well. The only con about the narration was with the switching between Abby and Alexi. I didn't care for it at all. It would have sounded better if the narrator's had read the Alexi and Arby's parts together in stead part.

This is an authentic love story.

What did you love best about London Bound?

Interracial Love of course. I also enjoyed the fact that it was in London. It just makes me as a reader hope in love, the places beyond my own vicinity.

What was one of the most memorable moments of London Bound?

When she and him first meets him of course. Oh no, I don't want to spoil anything. Actually I would have to say it's when she's at the party and she happens upon a certain couple. The emotion from both characters each dealing with their past in their own way. That part stuck out to me the most.

Have you listened to any of Graham Halstead and Kitty Bang ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to their performances, but I will make this note about them; when the woman does Alexi's voice, he seems so much more sensual and tender than when the man reads Alexi. I don't know if it's an accent thing, but I thought it was so much hotter when she read his parts. It's not a bad note, it just really stuck out to me. The other characters come alive when the both of them read. You'll see what I mean if you purchase it.

Any additional comments?

Good Credit. Can't wait to read about the other brother...

LOVED IT!

I loved this story from start to finish. The performance was AWESOME and the story was BRILLIANT! The love story between Abby and Lex was beautiful! I like how the author took her time having them fall in love with each other. I love how she had Lex ask for permission to do things to Abby. Even something as small or as big as a kiss. I will definitely listen to this again and possibly purchase the actual book.

I recommend this audible to those who want to hear about a boy who fell in love with a girl who was unsure that she could trust someone again and that he could ever love someone at all!

Soo Good!

I rarely ever read contemporary romances, and I honestly don't know why. My go to answer is that they're plain...but if done right they can be the perfect break from all the crazy world building or insane social trappings of a paranormal world. London Bound is one such book.

Abbie, is a young woman now learning to be independent after leaving her abusive ex and following her dreams. Alexi, is a billionaire with a troubled past and a lot of reasons not to become emotional attached to anyone. Both are incredibly skittish when it comes to relationships, and their growing feelings prove slightly problematic. I liked the balance that Abbie and Alexi held, and even though most of their problems stemmed from the lack of communication, given the topics I can totally understand the lack of desire to put all onto the table. They have a undeniable chemistry and the instant attraction is offset by the fact that both need more time to think things out and see where they stand, and I really appreciated that because I was worried it might dip too close to insta-love. I love that it's not just Abbie who is learning to grow and stand for herself, but Alexi as well. She's learning to speak up for herself and take risks, risks that unnerve her, and he's learning to trust and open up about a past he'd sooner forget. While I will admit that portions of this were a bit obvious, even to someone who doesn't delve into pure romance often, it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment factor.

Kitty Bang and Graham Hastead both did an awesome job of the narration, and I really liked the switch in speaker when the point of view switched over. I think I'm definitely going to check out more books read by Kitty, because her range of accents and ability to play on those emotions without the text prompting her to really made this one stand out.

I love a romance that doesn't feel like total fluff and has a lot of ups and downs. I want it to have plenty of moment to tug at my heartstrings and make me laugh, I want heat but I also want depth and true emotion...and London Bound provides all of that! Definitely one to check out if you enjoy New Adult Romance!

good

I really liked this book and would recommend it. I didn't have ever like the male narrator. The female narrator was great. I wish she did the whole book. The male narrator was not good.

Twisted Love Story

When I first started listening to this book my mind went to “Oh no another one of those.” But after continuing to listen the story took enough twists and turns that it kept me listening. Although I had to stop and come back to it. Therefore it took me three days to actually listen to the whole story. Abbie is in an abusive five year relationship and finally has the courage to get out. She runs not only from the apartment but from the country and lands in the class that she wanted to be in. She is a brilliant photographer and gets to train with one of the best.The first day of class the professor tells them he does not date his students so they will have to earn their degree the correct way. Her life just gets better from there. She almost gets hit by a mini cooper and is saved by none other than her professor’s brother.
The two brothers clash when they both want Abbie. Yet Abbie is drawn to the one who saved her. The brothers are hiding a secret that could endanger both of them. Yet Alexie will risk it all for Abbie.
A vindictive, dictatorial father, an abusive ex-boyfriend, a relationship that Alexie is in to protect one of his best friends, too much money, and several outsiders who contribute to the blow up and reconciliation of their relation all combine to create a pretty good story.
