I just loved this book. I am really new to Cecy Robson's writing, having only listened to one other audiobook before starting this one. I loved the first book that I read from this author so I was really excited to get started with this one and I must say that it lived up to every one of my expectations. It was a really great story and the audiobook production took everything to the next level.

I knew from the very start that this was going to be a different kind of romance. The book opens with Callahan in the middle of a mission which was a bit of a surprise. It was a really quick scene but it gave me a whole lot of insight regarding the things that he had seen and the things that he had done. Trinity is spending one last summer working with her friends after college before heading off with the Peace Corps. Callahan is working as a bartender where her Trinity likes to hang out with her friends and there is no going back after their paths cross.

I loved Callahan from the very start. I must say that he was a bit of a grump at the start of the book but that just made me like him more. What can I say? I just love a grumpy Hero. Trinity was really perky and at the start of the book, I thought that she might be just a little bit too much but she quickly grew on me. I thought that both characters had a lot of depth and had been through a lot. I felt like these two belonged together. They had great chemistry and seemed to be exactly what the other needed. 

I thought that Tara Langella and Lucas Webley did a phenomenal job with this audiobook. They put a whole lot into their performance and I enjoyed the fact that the audiobook was more dramatized than the average book. Tara Langella performed all of the female voices even when the chapter was being read from the males point of view and vice versa. I have only listened to a couple of audiobooks that use that format but I think that it is quite effective and helps the dialogue feel much more natural. There were also a few well-done sound effects added to the book. I thought that both narrators had voices that were easy to listen to for hours at a time. 

I would recommend this audiobook to fans of contemporary romance. It was a great romance featuring two characters that I couldn't wait to see reach their happily ever after. The audiobook was a fantastic experience and I do recommend trying to listen to this one if you get the chance. I can't wait to read more from Cecy Robson.

I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author via Caffeinated Services.

Initial Thoughts
This was really good. I loved Trinity and Callahan together. At the start of the book, I was worried that Trinity might be a bit too perky and would end up annoying me but she quickly grew on me. Callahan was a big grump at the start of the book and I just love romances with grumpy Heroes. Both of the characters had a lot of depth and I thought that they had a lot of great chemistry. I thought that Tara Langella and Lucas Webley did a great job with the audio. This story was more dramatized than most audiobooks. The female narrator handled all of the female voices even during the chapters told from the male's point of view and vice versa. There were also some pretty well-done sound effects.
