Taking Chances #2
Audible audiobook
Author: Tia Louise
Narrators: Sebastian York and Samantha Brentmoor
Scout Dunne and Daisy have been friends forever – ever since he saved her from a “pony attack”. They shared a kiss as teenagers and that didn’t go well. Now, they’re back in town together. Scout is coming home from college and he’s leaving for LA to be an actor (while declining an offer to join the NFL) and Daisy is starting her career as an antiques seller. They have a scorching week together and it will leave Daisy with a “twist of fate”.
I really liked the chemistry between Daisy and Scout but this book left me confused most of the time. It’s supposed to be a standalone but I keep feeling that there was stuff I should have known beforehand. Too many things about their shared past felt like “well known facts” that were unknown to me. I also can’t, for the life of me, figure out what exactly the reading order for these books is!
I would have probably enjoyed it a lot more if I had read the previous books. I felt like I started watching a TV show on the third episode…
Narration: Let me preface this by saying that “The Unicorn” aka Sebastian York is absurdly talented and I can understanding wanting to hire him to narrate your book, but, for the love of Baby Jay Zoos, cast him accordingly. I don’t think SebYo sounded like a a young adult even when he WAS a young adult. Having said that, spending a few hours listening to him is no hardship at all! ;). As for Samantha, she can do no wrong in my book.
