Summary

He was just another dad at my daughter's school. Another very hot, "former teen heartthrob" dad. One I couldn't get involved with.

Lennox Reign was the hottest teen star, over 15 years ago. Now, he's staring me daggers across the principal's office.

Not my fault my daughter got in trouble the first day of school and I seem to have "bad mom" stamped on my forehead.

But now, not only do I have to see Lennox and his very grown-up body at school drop off, but we're working together on the school bake sale.

If he could just stop being a brooding heart-breaker for like two seconds...

He says he wants to keep the past in the past and move forward with his life, but the closer we get and the more I uncover, the more I can't help falling for the former actor.

The one who I know could easily break me.

And he will.

Funniest RomCom ever

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. This author is so funny. I loved the humor and the story the author delivered in this story. Every girl's dream come true. To meet your teen idol crush at your daughter's school. It was a pretty quick romance to start with, but who knows what will happen in the next book. I hate hanging on a cliff when I can't just start in with the next book immediately. I know I'm gonna have to wait until it is released. The author was excellent and wrote a book that kept my attention from the first word until the end. The narrator did a good job narrating as a young woman with abundant personality. She did a good job with the story.

Fun, single parent romance

I should have read more clearly and noted it was a duet! So, it does end in a cliffhanger.
It was a fun book and I have to say, as a mother, the number of times I nodded my head in sympathy and empathy as Rachel, the heroine, acknowledged her maternal mistakes was high. I really love books that speak to the real person :D

Rachel meets Len, a single father and former teen heartthrob when their daughters get in trouble together. They are further forced to work together on a project for the school and their relationship grows. Great banter, really fun internal thought and fantastic supportive characters (love Amy) round out this story. I need to read book #2 of this duet.

I listened to the audiobook and Hannah Baker was great. Energetic, with good control of her voice so she was able to play multiple characters well. She may have overacted a couple of the parts but I enjoyed listening to her narration.

HeartThrob

A very nice listen. You have some comical areas, but very adult parts too. I loved seeing Rachel get a backbone and learn how to defend herself. I also love the slow burn in this book. The last part of the book left me reeling though, so I may not be able to wait for the audio to come out and just read it now.
Narration was done really well and matches the writing the way you would expect it to.

Enjoyed it

Heartthrob is the first book in the Heart Duet and I could not stop listening to this audio. This single mom/single dad novel had some laugh out loud moments and some serious moments, yet I enjoyed it all. I loved the banter and chemistry between Lennox and Rachel and the addition of the secondary characters most especially the kids really added to this story. The story was cute, the characters were likable and inclusion of that cliff-hanger ending have me really anxious for part 2 to see how it all ends. I would recommend this novel for all lovers of romantic comedies.
The audiobook version was narrated by Hannah Baker. She did a fantastic job with these characters and was able to switch characters seemlessly. She had great pace and timing and really brought the story to life. It was a pleasure listening to her narrate this novel.

Great RomCom & Narration🎧 Delightful & Heartfelt!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written with storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are complex and nicely developed, they are ones you can relate to. Both lead characters are single parents who daughters attend school together and become friends. Rachel Rise is trying to get back on her feet after her divorce, she moved her and her daughter Arianna back to her childhood home. Arianna starts a new school and immediately makes friends with Juniper, Lennox “Len” Reign’s daughter. Rachel notices Len, he is the former child actor and the teen heartthrob she had a crush on. The two do not exactly hit it off when they first meet. Rachel is too funny, some of her dialogue is hilarious. Len came off a bit uptight and broody but things changed when the PTA had them working together for the school’s fundraiser. I loved how everything played out, there is never a dull moment in this book, with plenty of drama, some angst and great humor, some heartfelt moments and a slow burn start to romance. The author keeps you on your toes, wondering what is in Lennox’s past that he does not talk about, I think the cliffhanger ending gives some insight of that that may be. I am looking forward to the 2nd part of the “Heart Duet”, “Heartbreaker”, I hope it becomes available on Audible soon.

Hannah Baker is a wonderful narrator and voice artist. She does an awesome job portraying the characters and bringing them to life. She gives each character their own voice and personality which makes it easy to follow them as she switches roles, which she does flawlessly. You could hear how much heart she puts into her work as she projects the characters emotions into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Great listen

The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is because I CAN NOT stand cliff hangers! I need the next book like.... yesterday 😭 otherwise, it was fantastic

Cliffhanger

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Megan Vernon. It has a conversational writing style that I really like. My only complaint is that it's an abrupt cliffhanger, and when you're listening to an audiobook you don't notice that you're to the final scene until it's over. I'm interested in book 2, but since it doesn't stand alone would have preferred that it was sold in a set, or just in a single book as this title is relatively short.

I liked Hannah Baker's voice as a narrator, though since the book is written in a conversational style I would have preferred if it was performed more conversationally.

Overall, I would recommend this book if you have access to the second one right away.

All the feels

This book has all the feels, with some sections that will have you grabbing for the tissues from tears and others your laughing and smiling. The ending is a “oh” moment and have you wanting the second book. Hannah did an excellent job with the narrative!
