My audiobook reviews will be split into two parts — The Sound and The Story where I’ll review the audio itself and then review what I thought about the story. The Sound: I really liked the narrator! She was exactly how I’d picture DJ to sound like plus the Wisconsin accent was great. I swear I started thinking in an accent on days when I’d listen to large chunks of the audio!

My Thoughts: You all know I love my sporty books. Play On has just earned a spot on my list of fave sporty books! It seriously had everything I love and want in a sporty book.

I still need to finish the Losing It series but Silas is my favorite of Cora’s men thus far. I adored his character and the depth that she brought to him. He’s not just the despicable jerk we saw in All Lined Up. I think we caught a glimpse of him as something more in […]
