Publisher's summary

Phoebe West has been head-over-heels in love with her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember. Not that he's bothered to notice. Despite several mortifying attempts at seduction and a decade's worth of unrequited pining, nothing Phoebe does seems to make any impact on the man she's obsessed over since her bra-stuffing days. She knows that it's time to let him go, though just the thought is nearly enough to shatter her.

Nathaniel "Nate" Knox has only ever seen Phoebe as one thing: forbidden. There's a darkness in Nate, the kind you can't avoid after years working in Special Forces and private security. He's no good for anyone, especially not someone as sweet as his best friend's little sister. He knows that he can't have her, even if she makes him feel things he barely recognizes.

Contains mature themes.

1 million words per second!!! Too much to stand...

The unrequited love... Years loving her brothers best friend...
She is a little bit too much verbose for my liking. I got tired.
It takes too long to get to speed but from the middle on, some action kicks in and it gets better...

Not my favorite...

Ok, here's the thing... I felt that the performance made Phoebe sound like a 16 year old rather than a 24 year old. Some of the written language didn't help either. Words like "holy frack" and the pet name of "little bird" and other references REALLY made Phoebe sound like a whack job. Reading a sample of the book, I had a different tone in my head, so this performance didn't live up to it for me. She could have sounded more sultry and playful over whiny and pathetic. Frankly, I'm not sure how any man could tolerate that tone and voice. It just could have been better. 😥

COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT!!!!!

The story could have been better if I didn't have to wait for nine hours for him to get the girl. Not on I will listen to again. Try it if the love making is not important.

A slow-moving love story, mixed with kidnapping and ransom

It was an OK book however, I think it had way too many monologues. Instead of listening to the main character’s Phoebe’s innerthoughts  the writer could have minimized the internal monologues and move along with dialogues instead. Also, Nate’s character was way too patronizing to Phoebe and passed many opportunities to make his move on Phoebe.

Great story BUT.....

Was an awesome story but it took FOREVER to get there. the main character was annoying in the beginning and the story didn't start start to move until half way through the book.

Main character original sense of humor

Loved the Irish ☘️ accent. I wish the love scenes did justice to Phoebe’s 19 years of crushing. They were a little glossed over for my taste.

The main character talked too much

I think the story had some merit, but there was quite long lengthy, monologues by the main character that got old. Also, the female narrator I think could’ve done a better job with the story.

Disappointing

Overall the storyline was pretty good but The Narrator sounded like a 10yr old and the character, although she was supposed to be a spoiled brat, never stopped sounding like a bratty 15 year old.
