Heart Stopping

To date I have to say this is my favorite book by Elaine Marie. I can relate to this storyline, I know her pain how hard it is to move on, how brave it was for her to get on that ship and not forget but take that step into the unknown life ahead.
Tor and Charley did a fantastic job telling this story.

Empowering

In general, the underlying story was pretty sad with how LeAnn lost her husband Logan and how devastating of a loss it was for her. However, this is not just a story of great grief, it is a story where this strong female character finally picked herself back up and learned to live again. One could argue that there were a few convenient coincidences, but I think they add to the story and make it that much more empowering. The magnetism between Brandon and LeAnn is apparent throughout the book and it was a pleasure watching how their instant lust relationship turns into something real. The author does a great job of wrapping up all lose ends and giving us a great story!

I loved the dual narration! These two narrators did a fabulous job and really brought out the chemistry between LeAnn and Brandon. Their voices mesh well together throughout the book and they made this audiobook extra captivating. Excellent performances!

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

It’s been awhile since I heard Tor and Charley and I loved their performances. I really see that they have grown and they did a wonderful job with this book.

Tor Thom and Charley Ongels Narration has such strong characterisation and have such great synergy with each other and the story.
Definitely worth a listen

So Moving!

This is not what I was expecting and is a very different type of story from Elaine to those I’ve listened to before. From the very beginning I was drawn in to LeAnn’s painful back story and hoping for her HEA. I loved the way we got to see both LeAnn’s side and also Brandon’s, this helped build their characters quicker and made it so hot when they got down to it! I loved the cruise ship setting, this is very different to other stories I’ve read and have it that extra something. The side characters were also strong in this story and helped with the humour. The narration was great from Charley and Tor, I think this might be my favourite of Charley’s she really filled out LeAnn as a character. Overall this is my favourite of Elaine’s so far, I absolutely loved it and will definitely listen to it again and again!

Wow! Emotional and moving and damn hot!

I love how this storyline shows you to keep positive in times of need. This is a lovely bunch of characters that I would love to hear from again. Well written and fantastic narration from both narrators.

Great storyline

This audiobook had constant emotion and description in the narration, though the beginning felt overly dramatic. For example, it starts out really intense to describe a walk. I do like the different narrators for different points of view especially later in the book when the points of view shifted frequently. I didn't like it when it when one characters' thoughts changed voices and it really caught me off guard the first time the other voice abruptly cut in in during a memory.

One of the reasons I chose this book is because I like cruises, but I think that turned out to be a disadvantage. The settings were great for the purposes of the story, but many details that distracted me. For example, only Disney cruises go to Castaway Cay and while Disney cruises do have R rated entertainment, they don't have exotic dancers so she wasn't on a Disney cruise. I've also never carried a wallet around a cruise ship (things were free or charged to the room). I think it's fine to alter details for the sake of the story, but I just would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't known those things.

The story itself included a lot of descriptions and even more thoughts. Lots and lots of thoughts. And feelings. And steamy day dreams. I think it started with about an hour of set up to understand how LeAnn feels at the beginning of the story and there were still 45 minutes remaining when it seemed like the story would be ending. The actual events in the story could be summed up very quickly.

I would recommend Living to readers who want to feel the emotions of the story instead of the events.

They say time heals all wounds. I admire how she over came her loss of her husband. I am glad she allowed herself the chance to feel love again. I am so glad she allowed herself to heal before moving on. This really had me in my feels.

Living her best Life

Living is a very emotional story about a woman who suffered a devastating loss and is struggling to truly live after. She meets a man she can't resist who makes living seem like something worthwhile. It made for a really good listen as this story unfolded. The chosen narrators did a fantastic job and really enhanced the story for me.
