For Sewanee Chester, being an audiobook narrator is a long way from her old dreams, but the days of being a star on film sets are long behind her. She’s found success and satisfaction from the inside of a sound booth and it allows her to care for her beloved, ailing grandmother. When she arrives in Las Vegas last-minute for a book convention, Sewanee unexpectedly spends a whirlwind night with a charming stranger. 

On her return home, Sewanee discovers one of the world’s most beloved romance novelists wanted her to perform her last book—with Brock McNight, the industry’s hottest, most secretive voice. Sewanee doesn’t buy what romance novels are selling—not after her own dreams were tragically cut short—and she stopped narrating them years ago. But her admiration of the late author, and the opportunity to get her grandmother more help, makes her decision for her. 

As Sewanee begins work on the book, resurrecting her old romance pseudonym, she and Brock forge a real connection, hidden behind the comfort of anonymity. Soon, she is dreaming again, but secrets are revealed, and the realities of life come crashing down around her once more.

If she can learn to risk everything for desires she has long buried, she will discover a world of intimacy and acceptance she never believed would be hers.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. My opinions have not been influenced by the publisher or the author.

I should mention that I’m a HUGE fan of Julia Whelan the audiobook narrator so it crushed me when I didn’t LOVE her debut novel My Oxford Year. The book just didn’t click with me. And if I think back it just wasn’t what I expected.

Now four years later the author wrote a new book, and all I can tell you ist that you NEED to pick it up ASAP!!!

Not only is the book perfect for everyone loving audiobooks, since both MCs are audiobook narrators, one of them is this hot, sexy, mysterious male romance narrator that everyone wants to you-know-what, and nobody knows who he is. Doesn’t that sound familiar to you?

But the novel is also perfect for everyone loving this genre.

It has the most wonderful banter, and it comes across as amazingly effortless. Their chemistry is full on display, and their attraction palpable. From their meet cute to them getting to know each other and lastly meeting up in real life – it just worked!! Plus the range of emotion was beautifully balanced, from lighter romance to more emotional family story, it made for a perfect combination. Low on drama and big on everything else. Just the way I like it.

Seriously, it was a pleasure to listen to this audiobook. Julia Whelan did a fabulous job, as always. She is actually one narrator who does the male voices as good as any male narrator.

So, if this sounds anything at all like you might like, go and grab yourself a copy. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

PS. The author’s note was such a great touch and answered quite a few of my questions.
