Sterling Springs #2

ALC provided by Must Love Audio

Author: Dakota Forest

Narrators: Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke

Thanks, @dforestwrites and @mustloveaudio for the ALC.

Josie Hare is a free-spirited girl who lives in a van driving around the country and who makes a pretty good living (black card kinda living) as a cam girl – a job that not only pays the bills but that also makes her feel empowered.

When her van breaks, the only mechanic around is located in the town she swore she’d never set foot again: Sterling Springs, the town where she grew up and was shunned her when her parents went to jail for fraud. 

To make things worse, the mechanic is Sly Sterling, her first and only love, who broke her heart into a million pieces. 

Sterling can’t believe Josie is back in his life again, albeit by chance and in a very temporary way. He knows he hurt her in an unforgivable way but his family decides to meddle.

As the days pass waiting for parts for the van, they face the past, including a traumatic event that changed Sly’s life forever and Josie has no idea about. 

The audiobook is narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke in dual style and I love when that happens because it gives them a chance to flex those incredible acting chops. Samantha shines as the sassy but deep down still a little insecure Josie and Jason is amazing as the broody mechanic. The two together is always magic! 

What you get: small town shenanigans, van life, a cam girl who makes a mechanic’s blood boil in many ways, a meddling dad, mending ten years of resentments, garage steamy times that require car repairs (!), finding out the cam girl you subscribe to is actually the love of your life, ‘Octavious’ the tentacled toy, besties who show up and lots (and I mean LOTS) of spicy times  on your way to an HEA. 

Representation: MMC is a below the knee amputee. 

Content notes (including but not limited to): living with a disability (amputation), mentions of incarcerated parents, no contact with parents, bullying (in the past with ramifications in the present)
