Least favorite of this series

The will they or won't they is always necessary, but holy smokes, it goes on for 3.5 hours, and their story just isn't interesting enough to pull that off. I also felt like this Lola was so spineless compared to the Lola in the other novels. The Beautiful series is so much better!

In love with Oliver

Thank you, Christina Lauren for this series. I have become a huge fan of all your books. I'm thankful this book didn't disappoint. Lola and Oliver's story is sweet. It does have its fair share of frustration. It is definitely worth your time.

Ok, but not great

Love these authors; love this series. This one was probably the weakest of the three, though. Story was okay. A little boring. Lacked the excitement of the previous two. I was disappointed because I love nerds, and I never fully understood Oliver. I'll still continue supporting this series. I hope there's a book for Not Joe. He's become a favorite!

Kudos on the great Aussie accent! I looked forward to Oliver's POV to listen to it.

Goos but a little irritating

This was a good listen but nothing like the previous one.
Lola and Oliver love and friendship is cute but annoying.
They keep their distance and deny their love and relation for way too long...
Bored me.

First time reviewing

I had a hard time with this story . Mostly I didn't like Lola.
She was so annoying. And it made it difficult to listen to the book.

A bit more interesting

These books are obviously all about sex, that's why I buy them. But the content in this one was better than others from this author. There were more realistic details about the leading woman's chosen career. Although I still found the character development pretty shallow and the ending abrupt. The only thing that bothered me about the performance was the female voice. She hits a crescendo in every sentence, it's a bit odd. Not every line needs to be a roller coaster of emphasis.

Best book of the series

I love Christina Lauren! Perfect series after finishing the beautiful series! Always wanting more! She gets you attached to the characters so easily. Keep the books coming!

Good story!! But about 50/50 on the narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No, I think I would recommend it was read. The male narration is pretty average. The story itself is good, not my fav from these authors, but still okay. I didn't feel as connected to their story. The conflict/issues felt like a tiny blip in the road rather than much to overcome, which felt a bit of a let down. However, the way that Lola lives in her head is really well done, and could feel the tension. I was getting agitated listening to her stress out, which I guess, is a good thing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Wild Night?

When Lola drew him. That was, well, pretty memorable. *fans self*

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Having an actual Aussie do the male narration would have been better. The accent wasn't unbearable though. However, his depiction of Lola speaking was just awful. The female narration was spot on as usual

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Once you give it all, you really shouldn't take it back.

Any additional comments?

I liked it. I think it'd be a better read than listen on this one, but certainly still worth having in your library. I don't know if this is the end of the series, I'm kinda hoping there will be an epilogue at least that will deal with Not Joe and tell some of his back story.

Nerds in love

I wasn't expecting very much after not really liking the last book in this series, but this book was rad. I liked it a lot! The only thing I didn't like was that the male narrator sounded like John Malkovich when he tried to do a woman's voice.

Wow!

I love this book, I laughed, I smiled, I cried.

Thank you for the ride!
