Dating Series #5
Audible audiobook
Author: Monica Murphy
Narrators: Emma Wilder and Patrick Zeller
Eleanor is just plain tired of awkward dates, of blind dates from hell, of Mr. Wrongs. All her friends are fiding true love and it seems like her time will never come. When a well-meaning friend signs her up for Rate a Date, a new dating app, she has no hope that anything will come out of it. Until she gets a message from this gorgeous guy who seems to be too good to be true. He’s nice, sweet, and their in-app conversations soon move to phone calls and FaceTiming. Maybe she found a good one now?
Mitch is hiding a doozy of a secret from Eleanor. He’s an NFL player and he’s done with the “jersey chasers”. He wants to find a “real woman”, who can see past the trappings of his job and fame. A dating app is probably not the best idea but it’s the way to chat to people without disclosing his true identity. Now the team is moving to Vegas and Eleanor will be there for a bachelorette party. Will Mitch’s well intentioned “catfishing” come back to bite him in his buns of steel?
This is a cute and very steamy book… and you will probably send the men in white coats for me for what I will say next: the steam took away from the story a bit. Shocker, right?! It’s really good steam, but as soon as they get together all they do is go at it. I needed more of the fun getting-to-know-each-other that we had in the beginning of their relationship. I needed more romance, I think. It was definitely a fun listen and I enjoyed it a lot, but I needed a touch more of the what we had in the first half of the book. It was great fun, though.
Narration: My beloved Emma Wilder (and she is always so freaking good) and Patrick Zeller (new to me, but I am definitely be on the lookout for more of his voice).
Thanks Kat and Jenn for an amazing buddy listen as always!
