First book by the author & the narrator was new to me as well. Personally, I won’t be reading this again & it has nothing to do with the book premise or how it was written. I just found myself ambivalent towards the main characters Soren & Dany & found myself more interested in Cody the hotel owner even if he’s hetero 😂
As for the narrator Michael Dean, I’ve only read 1 other book he narrated & I’m still on the fence.

This was such a beautiful story of two people who were so incredibly in love with each other & one who was genuinely surprised to find that he was too. Trope wise this book has best friends to lovers & both characters are on the asexual spectrum (1 is severe & the other might fall under greyace, but I could totally wrong).  Michael Ferraiuolo narrated & did a fantastic job!!

This was my first by L.A. Witt & it was fantastic!! The premise was expected as it falls under marriage for convenience but it was a very well told story. Makes me want to check out more by the author. Greg Boudreaux & Mark Ferraiuolo were a fantastic pairing for the audiobook yet again!!

While  there  story had its moments of relationship angst, it didn’t feel like it lasted very long.  I did like that the story wasn’t overly long as well.
The narrator is British but hardly ever uses voice inflection to not sound like AI which made it very hard to stick with. Personally, I won’t be listening to any future books in this series & will borrow them via Kindle Unlimited instead.

Currently keeping this one so my mom can read it & then decide if we’re actually keeping it 😂
When it comes to Hallmark Publishing, I have found that many authors who write the story after the movie was released are very lazy in constructing a true story that expands the script from the movie & in this case for me it really flopped. It took 80+ percent of the book for the male mc to come clean about what he’s been hiding & there was no groveling as I believe there ought to have been & the “apology” was lackluster at best IMHO. So for anyone who loves Hallmark’s movies beware that just because there’s a book, it doesn’t mean it’ll be any better & highly recommend checking out the author first to see if it’s a debut or if they have some sort of backlist.

Wow. I honestly love to be blown away by a story & the author’s way with words. I’ve not read but been aware of convict/felon stories but they’re mostly hetero ones & this one while having rough character stories including background, was so real & for the most part I have found N.R. Walker’s writing to be inclusive, not shy away from the tough facts of life & give many opportunities for chuckles/laughter/smiles in each book they write.

This was SO fun! Two best friends to lovers to husbands. Alex learned in High School he was attracted to boys more than girls & Caden loved his bestie but also liked sex with girls. Until Alex’s Vegas wedding was cancelled, they got drunk & got married themselves. While Alex was always in love with & loved Caden, C’s home life was always tumultuous due to his parents seeming to always be fighting so C was adamant he’d never marry. While on Alex’s honeymoon together C realizes a few pivotal things about himself & I really felt for his character having learned things about myself later in my adulthood. Listened via BookFunnel.
