Story: 4.25

Oooh, I really liked this story, although both the MC's have some interesting issues.

Trinity is an artist. She also has an artist's soul. She's emotional, moody, and has had serious issues with depression and self-doubt. As the story unfolds, a lot of the reasons for her issues were revealed...a couple of them really took me by surprise because I didn't see the twists coming.

Walker is the black sheep of his millionaire/billionaire family. He's the blue collar guy despite his wealth. He works construction and is generally discounted within his family and by others who normally bow down to the Lund name. Yeah, he has a few issues, too. Despite the fact this generation is all very close, including Walker, he still feels like an outsider who's taken for granted. Yep...issues.

For both these characters, they don't seem to quite fit within their world. Even in the artist world, Trinity is different. She uses lots of different mediums and doesn't restrict her artistic endeavors. She creates huge custom mixed-media pieces, small paintings that she sells for a few dollars, and will then work painting sets at the local theater. Within the constricts of the story, their situations both come to a head adding extra stress onto their relationship which isn't exactly smooth sailing to begin with. But despite that, I really loved the two of them together. Neither one is divulging all their secrets which causes issues as they move through their relationship, but I did really like them.

The story was romantic and fun. I loved every moment of listening to it. The narrators were both fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Not hot and sexy!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Love this author but this is not her normal hot and sexy books. It a good enough story just no heat.

Almost What I Needed

Although there were some sweet and extremely amusing moments, I thought that Trinity and Walker acted a bit too immature for their reported ages (30 & 31). At first, it was enjoyable listening as they slowly got to know each other, but the humor got bogged down by self doubts and insecurity.

Trinity (and Walker to a lesser degree), had major emotional baggage from their childhoods which could have been resolved through therapy. Walker felt unappreciated and ignored by his large & loving family, yet he did not stand up for himself.
