Publisher's summary

Carter Hastings was only supposed to be a fling.

A summer of fun, excitement, pleasure.

And it was...everything.

It's hard to walk away.

To leave the one man who resuscitates me.

But I did.

He didn't reciprocate my feelings.

He didn't love me.

Not now.

Not ever.

3.5 Resuscitate Me Stars

Cater & Kara

I found Carter to be sweet, caring and an all-round good guy, though I wasn't a fan of his short temper.

Kara was also sweet, and her willingness to put everyone else first is admirable but I felt like she did it because she lacks some confidence. She seemed to always second guess herself.

I really liked the meeting between these two, and how their relationship grew from lust, to more than lust to friends then to lovers.

Of course there were circumstances that brings a little drama but I found that the most dramatic parts of the book were from Kara. I think because of the lack of confidence in herself she was a little dramatic at times when an easy conversation would have cleared up a lot of things.
Add in Carter's short temper and this book is anything but boring. ;)

I very much liked the way Carter was when he was with Kara’s nephew. That just melts a girl’s heart.
I loved the ending. I think the story took us on a ride and we just had to go with it.

The narration, Tor’s voice is like warm syrup all yummy and gravely it’s perfect for Carter. And though I sometime have a hit or a miss with the female narrators I have to say I really enjoyed Charley’s female voices. She made Kara, Kara for me.

This was a first by Leddy Harper for me, and I can say I would totally listen to more of audiobooks by this author.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Loved It!

I enjoyed listening to Resuscitate Me so much that I actually finished it in one day! The duet narration is seemless and Tor Thom and Charley Ongel were AMAZING narrators.

Kinda Frustrating For Me

Kara spent the summer helping care for her nephew before heading back to school as a teacher in the fall. When she meets Carter Hastings at the gym sparks fly. Neither one is looking for a relationship, after all, Kara’s only there for the summer. Let the summer fling begin!

For me, this audiobook was an exercise in frustration. Kara starts off wearing her heart on her sleeve but when she agrees to a no strings relationship with Carter she becomes the exact opposite. She starts acting cold and expecting Carter to confess undying love all the while she can’t be honest about her growing feelings either, pot meet kettle. Just about the time I’m ready to throw in the towel someone will read Kara the riot act about her behavior and Kara will come to her senses. Thank goodness because it saved me from tossing this audiobook into the did not finish pile.

I enjoy author Leddy Harper’s style of writing and even though the content of this book wasn’t to my particular liking, I will see what she’s up to next and she certainly knows how to pick an awesome cover!

Resuscitate Me is a duet narration by Charley Ongel and Tor Thom. This duet team is one of the few that I enjoy listening to. Both narrators are good at conveying emotion and have excellent pacing, but even the strength of their narration can’t quite push this book out of the 3-star category.

"Give The Kiss of Life"

Resuscitate Me is a true romance with realistic characters. A sweet & sexy entertaining listen.
Kara's character is a little more complex with a sweet side. I really liked Carter with his adorable, stubborn alfa male personality.

Narrators Charley Ongel & Tor Thom seemless performance brings alive the narrative, character's & their off the charts chemistry. Charley Ongel's soft & sweet soothing voice makes it a pleasure to listen along with Tor Thom's masculine low raspy voice together a perfect duo.

Enjoyable

Leddy Harper is a relatively new author to me, however I have listened to several books narrated by Tor Thom and Charley Ongel.
The duet narration from Tor Thom and Charley Ongel was good and enhanced my enjoyment of the story as they blended and played off one another so well.
This was a well written story that had me interested from the first to the last chapter. The characters were strong and I found them easy to relate too.

Amazing voices, good story 😊

Beautiful story and perfect narration. Tor Thom is definitely one of my favorite narrators. Charley Ongel also has a very beautiful voice. It was my first book duet and it will not be the last! I had a great time listening to this book. I would not hesitate to buy other books from this author and I will definitely buy other audiobooks from these two narrators.

Loved it!

I didn’t want this one to end! Charley and Tor work so well together. The narrative between them is excellent!

My Thoughts on Resuscitate Me

This is my second book from this author, and once again it's taken by surprise with how much I liked it. It started of with a lot of miscommunications and attitude thrown around. But as it developed, the attitude morphed into personality traits that were accepted and while the miscommunications didn't seem to stop, they all added to the draw of the story.

The relationship between Carter and Kara was so intense and emotional. There were times I wanted to shake Carter. Or maybe punch him in the throat. But in the end I just loved him and his domineering ways. Kara was opinionated and stood her ground with Carter when it mattered so it made it easy to like her too.

The narrators for this story were fantastic, utterly perfect, not to mention sounded really hot in those steamy moments. I loved the duet style of it. I will definitely be looking for more from these two and will also be on the hunt for more books by this author.
