Heartstopper

WOW!!

WOW!! I've volunteered to review this book for the author. Boy, Shannon Gunn and Jae Delane did an amzing job with telling of this story. Another absolutely great book by Lauren Landish. This is the third book in the series, but can be read as standalone.I love Roxy and Jake's story. Roxy and Jake are such a hot couple!! From the very first page until the end I was captured. The writing and flow of this book is done wonderfully. This is a definitely one not to miss. I HIGHLY recommend reading or listening to Lauren Landish books. Keep up the awesome work girl!

Roxie and Jake!

Roxy has put her dream of singing on the backburner to be a responsible adult. She has been working hard at work and it has been noticed and she is being promoted to be the assistant to the new regional president at Franklin Consolidated. It’s been 10 months without a man so to celebrate her promotion she and her bestie Hannah head off to Club Jasmine.

Jake and his partner Nathan open the club and opening night appears to be successful. When he sees Roxy trying to turn down another patron that won’t leave her alone he comes to her rescue and intervenes. Their chemistry is instant and they decide to act on it until fate steps in and their evening ends prematurely.

When Roxy shows up for work the next day she is shocked to see that her new boss is none other than her failed one night stand from the previous evening. Roxy wants to keep their relationship professional however will she be able to deny the Heartstopper?

The narrators were good but at times the male narrator could be distracting. I voluntarily reviewed a Complimentary Copy of this book.

So So Good

This book is amazing. I have read this story as an ebook in the past. However this rendition brings a new dynamic to the story. In this book we get Roxie's story and are introduced to Jake. This couple definitely has their share of bumps along the way, but you won't want to miss them. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone

Heart stopper of a great audio

Love this series. I have all but 2 in this series and they keep on getting better and better . Lauren Landish knows how to get the readers attention . Her stories are full of laughs also and love. Right when you think you know how the story is going to go she throws you for a loop .

Hero is Jake. Heroine is Roxie.
You meet Roxie in book 2 and this is her story , how one man stole her mind and heart .
Roxie is looking for her big break , in the music industry... but something stops her , always holding her back . She doesn’t see her music getting off the group so she gets a degree. She finally starts work , little did she know where that workplace will take her right to her happy land , if she lets it

Jake owes a nightclub with a partner . He is there for opening night ...l and he sees someone that catches his eye and gets his body going . Jake needs to learn more about Roxy , maybe get to know her better in a dance , Tate, la Tate ,. Jake looses his change to hold a Roxy close , but he is determined to find her no mater what .
What a suprise Jake has when he sees a Roxy the next day at work .
Does Jake convince Roxy to let her guard down and give him a chance . Grab it and see

Both narrators did a great work. Their voice is steady , clear and strong . You will also see one of the narrators doing book 1 in the series.

So bad I couldn’t stand to finish it!

I usually write reviews when a book is especially good, but this was worthy of a negative star rating! The narration was beyond annoying, it was so painful that I couldn’t follow the storyline. The characters were flat and predictable, and the plot was a mishmash of bad dialogue and wandering, boring prose. Don’t waste your time and money!!

Narration could be better

Roxy and Jake are awesome together and the story overall was a great story. So far I have enjoyed the entire series. I enjoyed reading about the characters from previous books. Love Grandma and Mary Jo's special apprearance. I unfortunately did not care so much for the narrators. The male narrator sounded to old for the role of Jake. He also put too much emotion and was a bit too loud in the last few sex scenes, especially when both of them try to read music lyrics. I had to skip through all the Heart Stopper music parts. Despite that i enjoyed the storyline.

Terrible Narration

I enjoyed the first one but this one is cringeworthy because of the narration. Male is way too dramatic. Female does terrible male voices and other voices.

I’ve restarted this several times and can not connect with the characters. :(

Story is ok, Performance is terrible

What didn’t you like about Shannon Gunn and Jae Delane ’s performance?

The sex scenes read by Shannon Gunn were terrible, I shouldn't want to laugh when he's reading them. Jae Delane did a pretty good job, but I've heard a lot better.

Any additional comments?

If better narrators were used, the book would have been alot better.

Heartstopper

This is one of those listens where the narrators really influenced my enjoyment of the story - and not really in a good way. I felt like there was no inflection in the female narrator's voice and / or dialogue. Everything sounded pretty monotone with very little distinction between female characters. Plus, there were many instances where I felt like she was. Talking. Like. Every. Word. Had. A. Period. After. It. I could not get on board with this one.

The male narrator did a better job with differentiating between the male characters and even the female characters when it was his turn as the lead. But there were a few times, particularly during the intimate scenes, where I felt like he made every word over the top with crescendos and booming voices. It was almost too much at times.

I think this book is a great example of how certain things (time, place, narrator, etc) can influence whether or not you like a book (movie, television show, etc). I think the narrators made it hard for me to immerse myself within the story of Roxy who meets Jake at a club and discovers the next day that he's her new boss. While trying to be professional in the work place, Roxy and Jake cannot deny the chemistry between them. Jake's club (yep he's co-owner of the club where they met) becomes the place where they don't have to hide. It also becomes the place where Roxy gets to live out her dream of being a singer, a dream she had long given up on after trying for years and just not being able to break out. although I honestly felt like Roxy as a singer was a bit pretentious. Jake surprises Roxy with an impromptu karaoke night at the club and gets Roxy to go onstage and sing. After one song she then proceeds to take up another hour singing, just kinda assumes that it's cool, no one else wanted to karaoke, right? There were other instances like this that kinda made me cringe, such as the descriptions of Roxy dancing on stage. I hate saying this, but every time she mentioned shaking her a** basically turning every performance into an almost striptease, I could very well understand why she had yet to make it as a singer.

While this particular story didn't work for me so well, I've listened to other books by Lauren Landish and I've really enjoyed them. I will definitely still listen to / read more from Lauren Landish.
