A range of emotions are felt in this book. When tragedy occurs, it is hard for LeeAnn to pick up her life and move on. Being married to her soulmate and having him taken away is just too much. Four years later, and only 27 years old, she is attempting to move on. Going on a cruise with her best friend proves to be the catalyst she needs. Meeting Brandon, an exotic dancer and ship employee, she finds that coming to terms with her past and finding love could be the answer she is looking for. But is it that easy? There are a few plot twists in this story that are not expected. Miscommunications, meeting of people from her past, trying to put things in perspective may turn this story around.

Charley Ongel is the voice of LeeAnn, and gives her such heart wrenching emotion that you can feel her pain and confusion when trying to come back to her life. Tor Thom as Brandon gives the hot, sexy man with incredible patience and understanding the expression to make you fall in love with him. This book is full of emotional pull, hot sex and good fun. A satisfying listen if you are looking for a little of everything!

This is a wonderful, wonderful story! It’s about learning moving on. I enjoyed the characters. They were fun and flirty. I was floored at the beginning to this! I couldn’t believe what happened. Then to move forward from that would be tough. I commend LeAnn. She struggles but does an amazing job of living again. Chip and Dale, whom she meet on the ship add a lot to this story. Josie, her BFF, was a super add to the story. She was everything LeAnn struggles to be. I was easily entranced with all of these characters and their story.

I listened to this on audio and can I just say...I LOVE these two narrators! Tor Thom has such a sexy voice and Charley Ongel is perfect for the girls. She adds the right about of feeling into the read. Love them both!
