About this listen

Elouise

I fell in love with Beckett when I was 7. He broke my heart when I was 15. When I was 18, I promised myself I’d forget about him. And I did. For a dozen years.

But now he’s back home. Here. In Darling Lake. And I don’t know if I should give in to the temptation swirling between us or run the other way.

Beckett

She had a crush on me when she was a kid. But she was my brother’s best friend’s little sister. I didn’t see her like that. And even if I had, she was too young. Our age difference was too great.

But now I’m back home. And she’s here. And she’s all the way grown up. It wouldn’t have worked back then. But I’ll be damned if I won’t get a taste of her now.

Love this audiobook

Great story and brilliant actors who bring the story to life. Love smoky darling but the addition of Se one bite which is a brilliant novella is genius

Excellent

Eloise has loved Beckett since he stuck up for her when she was 7 it was so funny listening to her and her friend talk about crushes when they were so young . For the next 11 years she doted on him until she was 18 and he broke her heart and she decided she couldn’t go on wanting him . Until the day he turns up on her school camping trip and the chemistry between them is off the charts they had their up and downs and danger stalking her but when they get their HEA it’s perfect.

Not my thing

Lack lustre story line and didn’t enjoy the power dynamic between the main characters. The Male protagonist just comes across as violent and abusive which the pathetic female protagonist supposedly enjoys. I think the only way this dynamic works is when there’s a really robust storyline to back it up.
I’m getting really bored of male gaze porn being regurgitated by female writers and expecting us to believe that is what your average woman wants.
On the upside the narrators were good.

Nah….

I do really like this author and I have listened to many of her books. I actually read the second book in this series first and I honestly don’t know if I would’ve read that one if I would’ve read this book first. Because I didn’t think I would finish reading it.

Eloise felt way too naive for my taste when it came to him. The story…. It needed something more/else.

Loved the narrators though!

The storyline was disappointing

was disappointed in the narrative, and I thought there would be more to it, unfortunately.
