About this listen

If you don't get lost, there's a chance you may never be found.

Jenna McGovern has spent her whole life training for the stage. She's taken dance classes, voice lessons, and even earned her performance degree from one of the most prestigious musical theater programs in the nation. At graduation, she's stunned when a chance audition lands her a prime supporting role in the hottest Broadway touring production in the country. In more exciting news, Jenna discovers acclaimed television star Adrienne Kenyon is headlining the production.

Jenna settles easily in to life on tour and has a promising career laid out in front of her, if only she plays her cards right. She's waited for this opportunity her entire life and will let nothing stand in her way. The one thing she didn't prepare for, however, was Adrienne. Her new costar is talented, beautiful, generous, and the utmost professional. As the two women grow closer onstage and off, they must learn how to fit each other into a demanding lifestyle full of unexpected twists and difficult decisions. But is Jenna ready to sacrifice what she's worked so hard for in exchange for a shot at something much deeper?

This romance captivated me from the beginning - this is not your bog standard romance. It has some twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. The story between Jenna and Adrienne had me laughing, smiling and pecking away a few tears. I’ve read and listened to Melissa Brayden’s books and she always delivers on storyline and characters. The narrator, Betsy Zajko, made this novel come alive - she got into the characters and conveyed all the emotions in the novel. Simply fantastic. Do yourself a big favour and spend your Audible credit on this one!

Wow!

Waiting in the Wings will go straight into my favorites to listen to again later. All the characters are well filled out and believable and I will miss the main characters, especially Jenna, who I feel like I know and would love to have as a friend. The back stories of theatre and film are well researched and bring added interest and believability to Melissa Brayden's well written story. Betsy Zajko does a good job differentiating the characters and conveying the mood of the story.

I've loved listening to this one

Um, well I wrote a long review. Then it said "pending approval" for 3 days then it disappeared. Censorship? or just bugs. It was a good review, but I wont retype all. From what I can remember, it basically said: great insight into the acting and dance profession which adds a lot of depth. I marked it down slightly because the conflict seemed unchallenged. What I mean is it was founded the main characters not actually speaking their minds when they needed to resolve the conflict of career verses relationship, which of course is resolvable if its important. There are a number of very atmospheric scenes and locations, and I liked the main characters. I recommend it. But would suggest looking at the author's other work first - "How sweet it is". But I have to say I think Melissa Brayden showing is she is a great lesfic author.

Romance with insight into Dance and Acting

At first I really wasn’t sure what I made of it being written in the first person. I’ve listened to almost all of Melissa Brayden’s books these past few months. I think however it’s been my favourite way of hearing the story. Betsy Zajko does a phenomenal job of being the character to life. I’d love to hear a follow up to their story.

Probably my favourite Melissa Brayden book
