My Thoughts:

“Not long after an intense, heart-stopping first date, they are slammed to the core when a shocking revelation forces their new relationship to a sudden halt.”

That really says it all. They have such a good thing but as we’re all too aware, not all good things can last. Both Will & Layken are both so sweet and it’s a shame that they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Layken was somewhat oblivious to a lot of things, but she’s young so I gave her a pass on that. Just a random side note: I love the name Layken and nickname Lake…it’s so unique unlike my uber common name!

This was the 2^nd audiobook I’ve listened to and I have to say it was another great choice. Thank you to the woman at the Armentrout/Kemmerer/Higgins signing in November for recommending it. I didn’t get your name but you were right, it’s great! I’ve never been to a slam so it was fun getting to hear them throughout the book. Some of the slams were more…I guess you could say powerful than others but they were all enjoyable.

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5
