About this listen

Carter Westwood is a living legend.

Well…maybe that’s just his ego; but he does have a legendary reputation in the small town of Terracotta, Georgia, where fires seem to rage only when he’s on shift at his department.

The one thing Carter loves more than being a firefighter is the prospect of being a husband and a father one day. Ready to put his days of one-night-stands and no-strings-attached relationships behind him, Carter meets a woman who is everything he’s ever wanted.

Just one problem:

She’s not looking for anything serious.

Inspired by the passionate love affair between Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, and Venus, the Roman goddess of beauty and fertility, comes the story of one firefighter’s desire to settle down with a labor and delivery nurse whose biggest fear is commitment.

This story is beautifully written — both heart-wrenching and heartwarming. Carter and Venus’s slow burn romance is emotional, passionate, and captivating, filled with angst, push and pull, drama, and unexpected twists. Carter is a fantastic character — handsome, sweet, caring, and incredibly supportive. Venus is more enigmatic and tortured, and I really enjoyed following them on their intense journey to love. Amanda Willow and Nelson Hobbs did a great job with the duet narration, bringing depth and emotion to both characters.

Oh my heart. Ariel N Anderson is a fabulous author, but she certainly likes to tear my heart out and slowly put it back! This may be short, but all the feels come through with every sentence. Carter saw Venus and he was taken. A night of passion, no names revealed and he knew. But she is broken, and has not interest in any connection deeper than sex. One night turns to two, and the they start spending and now he knows his first impression was right. She is the one. But has her feelings changed? Anderson took me for an emotional ride, wringing me out in the best way. Tears and smiles make this the best kind of listen.

Amanda Willow is "V" and she is fabulous. Emotionally disconnected, she frustrated me creating her to be exactly as she should be. Nelson Hobbs is Carter, and he brings it. The pain and the passion is portrayed so genuinely, it was easy to understand and fall for him. Loved it!

Carter & "V"enus!
