About this listen

JARED

If I had a dollar for every time Banner Morales made my heart skip a beat...

The heart everyone assumes is frozen over.

Her anger is...arousing.

Every glare from those fire-spitting eyes, every time she grits her teeth, gets me...well, you know.

If I had a dollar for every time she's put me in my place, I'd be an even richer man.

I'm a successful sports agent because I assume "no" means you'll think about it.

I'm sure what you meant to say is, "Coming right up."

They say even rich men don't always get what they want, but those men don't know how to play the game.

The trick is to keep them guessing. Take Banner.

She assumes she's winning, but this game?

She doesn't even know how to play.

BANNER

If I had a dollar for every time Jared Foster broke my heart, I'd have exactly one dollar.

One night. One epic fail. One dollar...and I'm out.

I've moved on. I've found success in a field ruled by men.

Anything they can do, I have done better.

They can keep the field while I call the shots, blocking them when I have to.

And Jared has the nerve to think he gets a second chance?

Boy, please. Go sit down. Have several seats.

I'll just be over here ignoring the man carved from my fantasies with a lust-tipped chisel.

Oh, I didn't say the struggle wasn't real.

But I've got that one dollar, and Jared won't have me.

So this book didn’t rip me apart like LONG SHOT but it still made me feel. I think I identified with Banner on some things and that’s what made the book hit for me.

This book is not about having an eating disorder, but it does shine a light on societal pressures and what it feels like when you have a body that isn’t what society deems it should be. I struggled with some of the storyline aspects, but understand that people are only human, and good people make mistakes. I think that was one of the things that stuck for me.

Jared is tenacious, and Teddy gives a take-no-prisoners performance, showing us just how much Jared needed Banner. Seraphina felt like a good choice for Banner. She gives us a window into Banner’s mind and helps us feel all her conflicts.

There are many tough components to this story, and Ryan weaves them together to create flawed but believable characters put in really challenging forks in the road. She makes us realise that not everything is black and white, and the heart wants what the heart wants whether others would view that as acceptable or not.

This was another story full of angst, emotion, lust, and raw life.

Another great book from Kennedy.

I almost skipped this book when I was reading part one as I felt it was too tedious. I’m so happy I persevered though, it’s honestly a very complex and interesting story ! Fantastic narration

Enjoyed there was an actual plot and narrators voices matched the characters! Which hasn’t always been the case when choosing this genre.

Great listen!
