Kingsmen Football Stars By: Piper Rayne Narrated by: Joe Arden & Callie Dalton The start of Lee Burrows and I was a college girl’s biggest
False Start is the perfect title for this new adult college romance. It's the prequel to book one in Piper Rayne's Kingsman Football Stars, but technically, you don't have to listen to this one to understand everything going on in the first book. That said, it gives a good foundation for how Lee and Shayna started and what led to everything that comes later. I found both characters likable, even if I didn't like Lee's actions. It's a quick listen, so I'll skip the details. Let's just leave it at this prequel is a steamy, fast-paced romance, and it's narrated by Joe Arden and Callie Dalton - duet narration nonetheless! So, it doesn't take long to get lost in the story. As far as I'm concerned, this is an excellent combination of author and narrators, and it's a good way to get the backstory on some pretty great characters.
You Had Your Chance, Lee Burrows = a second chance romance, a great couple with chemistry to spare, witty dialogue, steamy goodness, and duet narration done by Joe Arden and Callie Dalton. Second-chance romance is one of my favorites, and after meeting this couple in the prequel, I really wanted them to get that second chance. Shayna has plenty of reason to still be mad at Lee, even after 8 years have passed, but he's certainly determined to at least gain her forgiveness. They do have their work cut out for them to get that second chance, but the journey makes it even sweeter. Of course, the narration is terrific. If you haven't had the pleasure of listening to Joe Arden, you don't know what you're missing. These first two Kingsmen Football books were my introduction to Callie Dalton, and I'm impressed with her work as well. And duet narration! Talk about total immersion in the story! So, another great listen written by Piper Rayne, and after the way this one ended, I'm looking forward to the next.
