My Review
I really enjoyed this listen it was a great story from the
author to the narrator. Ashton
life is about to change when her family’s scandal breaks and her boyfriend
dumps her. If you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen which is just what
Ashton does. She leaves it all behind from her career to her money moves to the
small town of Paradise where no one knows her and she starts over. What she
finds is she likes the normal quite life along with her hot handsome neighbor. Eddie
is a wild child who likes his women hot and his cars even hotter. He isn’t
looking for love and isn’t ready when his hot little neighbor moved upstairs.
This is a story about secretes filled with drama along with trying to outrun
ones past.
I really likes Ashton she was really down to earth with her background
you would not have expected that. I guess she is kind of the black sheep of the
family always trying to do what is expect of her but truly wanting a different
life. She loves her new life but her family wants her back things get
interesting when her father comes to visit trying to bring her back home. Next
up is her ex which leaves some very trouble times in his path. She must decide
who and what she wants and why she wants it. It is time to make a stand and go
with ones heart.
I just fell in love with Eddie he has a troubled past that breaks your
heart. He is the town’s bad boy trying to outrun a painful past. There is
nothing you will not like about him he is a true blue American man that takes your
heart with his bad boy ways. My heart really went out to him in so many ways.
Teri Schnaubelt as narrator did an outstanding job with
wonderful character voices. She puts feeling and emotion in her audios that
reach you down to your toes. Her male voices are as good as her female voices.
She gives you a smooth clear listen with no background noise or breaks in the
audio. You can hear her passion, pain,
sorrow and love in her voice as she takes these characters and gives them life.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t enjoy about this audio from her refreshing voice
to her rich tones.
I really loved that these characters where friends before
they were lovers. You could feel the pull and sparks fly but when it came down
to it they were friends first always there for the other. I really liked how
Eddie looked out for her. Both knew they were hiding something but gave each
other the space they needed. I really wish she would have come clean when Eddie
did but it just adds to the story. The author gives you a starting over story
and learning who you are while taking one’s life back. She gives you a believable story with
wonderful characters you can relate to. This one author who will break your
heart as she pulls you in giving you a page turn you can’t put down. This is the first I have read or listen from
this author and narrator I am so looking forward to the next one.

Overview
Ashton Kirk, youngest daughter of a prestigious senator, fiancee of a
hotshot attorney, and fresh Harvard graduate, is headed for a promising law
career when scandal breaks apart her family. To escape, she rents an apartment
in the sleepy town of Paradise, New Hampshire, where no one knows who she is. Ashton hopes for solitude, but all bets are off when Eddie West, the town's most eligible bachelor, moves in downstairs. Eddie likes his women and his cars shiny, sleek, and fast, and when he meets his new housemate, he wastes no time getting friendly. While he's looking for a no-strings romance, he gets more than he bargained for in Ash, who sees through his bravado to the pain of a loss too fresh to mention.
Can two people from different worlds find common ground, a place to fall in love and build a future? Is it possible to find your soul mate in the place you least expected?
