The best Rom Com I have listened to for ages

I was only two chapters in when I realised I was in love with this book! The concept is appealing and was what drew me in first. What happens when a wedding is called off and the mother of the groom ends up going on the now defunct honeymoon and just happens to bump into the single dad of the bride? Stuck for 10 days in a tropical paradise.....what could possibly go wrong?

Jo and Dallas' story is just beautiful and enchanting from the get go, two lonely and bruised people who forge an intense connection and end up diving head first into a scorching and romantic tryst. The balance of sweet and spicy is just right, lovely little comical scenes (think Bridget Jones' pants scene) and sparkling heartfelt banter between these two just makes you fall head over heels for them and route for them. They are genuinely lovely people and really care about the happiness of their children but you also want them to finally get their own happy ever after!

The pacing of the story is perfect, from the beginning where Jo and Dallas first get together and watch as they navigate their new relationship right up To the twists that come along in the second half of the book and the inevitable conflict hurdles thrown in their way. It never drags or feels like parts could have been left out. Its all perfect and I just wish there was more.

You need to experience the duet audiobook with the wonderful performances of Stephanie Nemeth-Parker and J.F Harding. Side note - thank the Audio Gods for the invention of duet narration and why the production company, Audibly Addicted, are fast becoming my audio dealers of choice for their frequent use of this style.

Stephanie Nemeth-Parker is one of my very favourite voice actors as she manages to sweep you up and wrap you up in her melodic voice. She is perfect for Jo, bringing out the adorable and relatable qualities of her but at the same time being the strong independent takes no nonsense from anyone woman who brings Dallas to his knees.

J.F Harding captured my heart many months ago and doesn't seem to be returning it anytime soon. I'm not complaining but I warn others, he is lethal with that voice of his. Especially in this one when he turns on the southern charm and just throws out all those, Darlin's like they are candy. Swoon central. This is a role which is perfect for his abilities to showcase, raw sexiness and heart wrenching vulnerability as well as his wicked comedic timing.

This is probably up there as one of my all time favourite books of the year so far. I adore everything about it. It's never too late to find the love of your life!
