Warren does a really good job with both of these stories in developing her characters. They meet in a very interesting and cute way and they take time to have feelings for each other and learn to trust one another. I like how she goes about the romance in a simple and slow way, rather than a crashing into sexual feelings! The characters have a good amount of backstory that is described here and it helps me connect to them. I like the descriptions of certain things and probably my favorite moment of the second book/first in the series would be the rain scene. It gave me a bunch of feels! I give Warren’s writing a 5/5 stars.

Teri does a good job with the narration. I could tell which characters were which and I liked her voices for each one. She has a good tone to her voice and is even paced. Studio quality wise I didn’t notice anything funky. I will say Teri could have a little more passion in her voice during those kissing in the rain moments! But overall she does a nice job and I enjoyed having her read to me. I give the audio a 4.5/5 stars.

I received these audiobooks as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Nancy Warren. The gifting of these audiobooks did not affect my opinion of them.
