In true HMO fashion, I’m left extremely satisfied with my expectations blown away.
Cue the sigh of contentment.
Worth the Shots is much more than a hilarious rom-com. It’s emotional and deep while still having those standard witty and punny innuendos we’ve come to expect from this author. Aiden is a broken bad boy who had my heart bleeding for him. And Veronica is a ballsy sweetheart who I instantly felt connected to. This pair is crazy amazing to see evolve. From fake to forever. Swooooon!
Happy reading!! -
5 SHOTS for the final book in the Booze and Bad Decisions series! The infamous bad boy is about to be brought to his knees and it was fabulous.
Aidan is the last single man standing of the Rhett Taylor Band. He’s brash but once you break down his walls, that inner sanctum is blissful. He is a dirty-talking playboy with a quick wit that will have you laughing out loud. However, Aidan carries his trauma around like a shield and it’s weighing him down. Then sunshine brightens his favorite piano bar and everything changes.
Ronnie maybe a bit naive, but she is pure goodness. She is exactly what this bad boy needs. Her innocence is gonna rock his world in every way and he is going to corrupt her sweetness and she is ready for it. This kitten has claws so he had better watch out.
So much tension. They literally set these pages aflame. Incredibly sexy. This troubled man knows how to deliver the romance once he finds a worthy woman who deserves his heart. Swooonnnn!
The author did not disappoint with this final book of the series. Aidan was a mystery and he quickly won me over. She brought the sexy times and the swoon and the witty banter she excels at. I absolutely loved this book!

Now, that was fun. Starring a potty mouthed player, whose musical talent is unquestioned, but whose personal life is a bit of a train wreck, and a seemingly, buttoned up, khaki wearing young woman, we have a serendipitous situation where two people are about to get their worlds seriously rocked. And I loved it!! Aiden and Ronnie, AKA, Cherry, are so much fun. Together, they light up each others world. Aiden has a backpack full of a dark past, which leads him to shelter his heart while Ronnie leads with hers. He is a tough nut, but, lucky for him, she no push over. Cue banter galore, much humour, heat and the potential for joy, and you have a page turner of a book that I couldn't put down. Loved every word! 💖💖💖💖💖

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sweet Cherry Pie and Sugar Balls deserve more than 5-stars! Worth the Shots is the epitome of saving the best for last. It had everything I could want in a romance novel: perfectly crafted, laugh-out-loud, fake relationship, smolderingly intense slow-burn, and razor-sharp banter. It is a definite top read for 2023, and it has also become one of my top three favorite books by Orgeron. Orgeron’s very real talent shines as brightly as the talent of her fictional country superstars.
Veronica was the perfect blend of sass and sweet innocence. She grew up with an overprotective father, and she wanted to add to her life experience while she was in college, but there was something that held her back from stepping too far out of her comfort zone. The moment she and Aiden were in the same vicinity, the chemistry between them sparked a fire inside her, and while she and Aiden were falling for one another, she was on a journey to discover who she was meant to be. I loved seeing her step out of her comfort zone and spread her wings. It felt natural the way she began to embrace her sensuality. It came across as genuine and as a natural progression.
I don’t even know where to begin with Aiden. At first, my brain was trying to come up with ways I could use my real foot to kick him in his fictional balls. Once he moved on from the level of assholery behavior, I tripped and fell right in love with him. He was charming and funny, and the mouth on him will melt kindles. But more than anything, it was his heart that truly ensnared me. He loved his small circle with a fierceness that could melt the coldest of hearts. He knew the moment he saw Veronica that she was different, and seeing the last remaining member of the Rhett Taylor band take a shot at something he never knew he could have made my eyes misty.
I’m absolutely positive that there isn’t a word to describe the chemistry Aiden and Veronica share. It was electrifying the moment they met, but as they spent more time together, it became so much more. It may have started with a physical connection, but the moment they open their mouths, their words begin a verbal foreplay that adds so much more to their story. They were complete opposites who were two halves of a whole; they completed one another, and you could FEEL the connection they shared.
My feels were tangled up in these two within the first few pages, and I can honestly say I felt every single emotion the characters did. I may have even contemplated googling if you could die from second-hand embarrassment because, FFS, I felt that. The banter between Aiden and Veronica is some of the best I’ve ever read. It was as though they had known one another for a lifetime; the way they went back and forth was invigorating. There were a few moments where the heartache on the pages made my chest ache, but more than anything, it was the love and laughter that poured off every page.
As soon as Worth the Shots hit my kindle, real life was cancelled. Within a few words, I was right back inside the Booze and Bad Decisions world. Worth the Shots is Orgeron PERFECTION to the nth degree. An exhilarating combination of a bad boy hero, a sweet and sassy heroine, chemistry overload, torturously tension-fueled slow-burn, teeming with laugh-out-loud clever banter, and sprinkles of feels. My head and heart feel lighter after spending the day immersed in the pages of Aiden and Veronica’s story.
I'm deeming Orgeron the Queen of Banter; her talent is unmatched when it comes to dialogue. She makes every scene feel as though you are a part of the story. It adds a potent clarity to each character’s personality that brings them to life in a way that’s indescribable.
Booze and Bad Decisions is really a synonym for Book Boyfriends and a Good Decision to Escape Reality! I’m not ready for this to be the last time I’m able to spend time with the characters. All their Booze and Bad Decisions have carved the most addictive escape. It began with a little booze and Pour Judgment. Then a country superstar made a drunken promise of an “Alcohol You Later,” and none of them were only looking for more than One Night Standards, but only because they had yet to meet the women who were Worth the Shots. One by one, they met the women who would bring them to their knees. I’m crossing my fingers that we might get some more of this world and the Country Cuties that reside in it.

I can’t believe this is the last book in the series and we saved the best for last. “Worth the Shots” is a swoony, laugh out loud, and delicious slow burn that I devoured because Ronnie and Aiden were everything.
Aiden is the last single member of the group and something is definitely missing from his life. When his best friend and manager, Anika, announces she’s in a relationship, something snaps in him. Veronica, aka Ronnie, has grown up with everything she needs but has been pretty sheltered from the outside world. When the band needs a temporary keyboard player, Ronnie is hired. But Ronnie is also the perfect woman to help clean up Aiden’s image and Aiden can help her with the part of life that has been sheltered. Despite being opposites, the spark between them can’t be denied.
Oh my goddess, I loved Aiden and Ronnie so much. Ronnie is someone I connected with right away and loved her from the beginning. She’s sweet, genuine and wants to have more in the world than what she knows. Aiden has been through so much as a child and some of it has bled over to his adult life. There was always something in his mind saying that he wasn’t good enough but Ronnie was able to break through all of that by just being his friend. Their chemistry was so apparent from the start. His flirtiness gave her the confidence to ask for what she wanted from his expertise. I loved the teasing and tension between them as they worked on things, it was so delicious. But there were also so many sweet and tender moments that had me swoony hard for these two. I loved having moments with the rest of the band and the last few chapters wrapped up everything so perfectly. -
Worth the Shots is the last book in the Booze and Bad Decisions series by Heather M. Orgeron, featuring a must-read fake relationship rockstar romance that brings all the feels, steam, and laughter you could want! Aiden is the last single man standing in the Rhett Taylor Band, and his emotional baggage and playboy ways have him in trouble again. Ronnie has lived a sheltered life and needs help tapping into her inner desires. When they agree to help each other in an arrangement, lines quickly blur as they connect through music, attraction, and emotion. Will they decide it’s worth the shot?
I was so happy to be back in this book world, I read it straight through!! It was everything! This author is one of the best at witty banter, dialogue, and weaving in real emotion! I laughed, swooned, blushed, got angry on their behalf, teared up, and just lived in the moment of the book! I loved how brash Aiden was on the outside at first, but Ronnie accepted him and complemented him, even though they were so different. And the chemistry? Whoa! Off the charts, HOT!!🔥🔥 I loved seeing the other characters from the previous books, as that found family vibe is one of my favorite scenarios to read. The world building in this series has just been top notch all along, but Aiden and Ronnie may just be my favorite couple!😍 And yes, my epilogue-loving heart was richly rewarded with TWO amazing epilogues!!🥰 I’m still going to miss these characters, though! I hope to find time for a full series reread!
I received an advanced review copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This Crazy Smutty Novel Has Me In My Feels
Quote:📖
“Think I’ll call you Cherry.”
“Cherry?”
“Yeah, Cherry.”
“Because your cheeks go all red like a blushing virgin.”
Thoughts: ��
Goodness does Aiden start this story out in a rough place. His character was a hard parting rockstar and in the middle of a spiral. Which is when Roni, the sweet sheltered little summer child found him. They clashed and collided and had an adorable story with all of the feels. There was a lot of sass and humor piled into this one and I really enjoyed it.
Avery, Joe, and the Blue Nose Audio Team did spectacular work with this one. It’s a traditional Blue Nose line per line dual narration. Both narrators delivered powerful lines that sucked me into the story and broke my heart and excited me 😉 in equal measure.

Worth The Shots blew me away with its intensity, spice, and heart!
Aiden has so much hurt in his past. It broke my heart. He just needs to he shown love and that he is worth sticking around for. That's exactly what Ronnie does. She loves him for him and shows him what love really is. She comes from a big loving family and seeing them bond with Aiden was so heartwarming! Watching these two navigate their relationship, which starts out fake, was everything! Honestly, it was never really fake.
Ronnie is so genuinely good and sweet, but definitely puts Aiden in his place when needed. He helps give her confidence and makes her feel special. I just freaking love them! Their story is a wild, emotional ride! And they both play piano and sing! Swoon! If you love a good angsty, steamy, love filled story with hilarity sprinkled in, this is the book for you!
I received an ARC for an honest review. -
I was gifted in audio ALC of this one and the audiobook is amazing! Performed in duet style narration by Joe Arden and Avery Caris. Their performance was very true to the characters. Joe as always was top notch. He exuded the presence of a rockstar performer. Avery portrayed Ronnie's desire to learn more about intimacy.
So this one took a while for me to get into. Aiden wasn't very likable at the beginning of the story. He's a famous country rock singer who has a reputation with the women. Enter Ronnie who is the opposite of Aiden. There's initial hate and lust for eachother. To fix Aiden's playboy image, Ronnie is asked to be his fake girlfriend. It was interesting to see their dynamic as a couple. The hate gave way to high tension, but they always had this electric chemistry together. As the story progressed I liked how Aiden slowly started to change his ways. He was a redeemable character. Overall, this was a fun, lighthearted listen with lots of spicy moments.

It's time for the last standing single member of the Rhett Taylor Band to get hit with the love bug! Worth the Shots is the last book in the Booze and Bad Decisions series by Heather Orgeron and it was worth the wait!
Aiden and Ronnie's story has a smidge of an enemies to lovers vibe- but really the fake relationship trope is always so much better when the couple has that little spark of irritation between them. And in true Heather fashion- the banter and interactions between these to brought such a smile to my face and definitely had me laughing in between all of the sexy tensions. When I say that there are tensions I mean TENSIONS because this book is a SLOW slow burn... I was honestly surprised by it especially with someone of Aiden's reputation but honestly is worked so well for these two. I adored the contrast in these two characters so much- Aiden is gruff, grumpy and the life of the party ladies man all at the same time- while Ronnie is buttoned up and sweet, generally mild tempered and oh so naive. They don't seem like they should work but when Aiden's walls start to lower and Ronnie's sassy side shines the easy friendship these two form is just so entertaining and addicting to read.
I loved all the interactions with the rest of the Rhett Taylor Band members and their families- even if it's been a hot minute since I read them it kind of felt like getting to see an old friend. Adding in that bit of Cajun flair with Ronnie's family was perfection. I'm sad that our time with RTB is over but I cannot wait to see what she will come up with next! -
4.5 Cherry 🍒 STARS
This is a spicy, fun romance with plenty of heartfelt interactions that stole my heart.
Aiden is a seemingly unapologetic, crass, wild musician with a big personality.
Ronnie is innocent, she’s been sheltered, she’s kind with a surprising spitfire side to her personality that makes her such an intriguing match for Aiden.
I really love how Aiden just says any vulgar thing, it was funny and a refreshing part of his personality. He definitely grew on me as I saw more of his depth. Making Ronnie blush becomes his favorite past time and it’s adorable.
I love that she can banter with him and hold her own, it’s my favorite kind of foreplay and it’s so fiery, smart and entertaining. They also share really emotional moments as they build trust. Ronnie is so mature for her young age. She knows when to push Aiden and I think she won me over with her gentle care of his tattered heart.
It’s such an entertaining, fun, feel good romance with fiery chemistry and beautiful moments between the main characters and also with Ronnie’s awesome bestie and family. The romantic parts are extra swoon worthy because it’s uncharted territory for both characters. I loved it! -

I received an ALC of this audiobook and I did not read the blurb. I went in blind and I’m so happy I did. I’ve been in a dark romance spiral and really needed to come into the light for a bit. This book GRABBED my attention from the first chapter with heat, emotion, laughter, heartbreak, and then went right into the thick of it from there. This is what I would consider fluff on my list of reads, but it was spicy fluff that gave me all the feelings. Avery Caris proved once again what a goddess of a narrator she is and Joe Arden remains the king of f*********ck in this duet narration. I loved every second of this story from Heather M. Orgeron. I LOVE the honesty between the FMC and MMC throughout this story. It’s the breath of fresh air I needed.

🔥Audio update🔥
Holeeeeee shiitake mushrooms! Aiden was already hot but Joe as Aiden! Next level🔥 I absolutely loved Avery as Ronnie…she’s the perfect combo of sassy & sweet😍
Aiden Addams is as hot as a crawfish boil in May, as sweet as Cherry Pie and as smooth as Tennessee Whiskey!
Worth the Shots made me laugh out loud, swoon, root for Aiden & Cherry, secretly wished he wouldn’t have pulled his punch 😏, and believe that live will find a way💕 -

DUAL POV!! (and ready )
DUET NARRATION
*screams in excitement *
Duet narration is always a treat and both narrators did such a great job. Very easy to listen to and the voice acting was so good.
So back to the review
If tropes are a spoiler for you , please don't continue as I do mention them .
I'm ashamed to say this was the first book I've read by this author, and this is the final book I'm the Booze & Bad Decisions series HOWEVER I think this book may have won me over and now k have to go go and read the other 3.
I normally dont read fake dating/dating fkr Convenience but they was this was written with these two characters, I may have to read more. The chemistry and the banter the two Mcs had in this series had me hooked. ( Maybe I was also obsessed with bad boy Aiden but I digress) the FMC Ronnie is pretty much the poster child for innocence. She's pure, well put together the sunshine to your cloudy day and a goody-good
Aiden is your all around rich bad boy Booze hound playboy in a county rockback with long dark hair who knows his way around in the sheets .
So as the trope says, they for a reason ( you'll have to read and find out) make a deal to fake date and OH my goodness. The book just sky rockets from there. It was such a fun read. I love the chemistry between the two characters. There's some event gatherings that had me so entertained , and I even LOL'd a few times.
I definitely recommend this book
Now excuse me while I go back and read the other books in this series. -
Worth the Shots- Heather M Orgeron
Narrated by Joe Arden and Avery Caris
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Narration 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
Aiden was such a douche in the best, most hilarious way ever. But he was so misunderstood. I loved getting to know his background and seeing him and Veronica fall in love. I love it when the bad boy is tamed by the good girl, and that’s exactly what happens. Overall the story was great, but sort of predictable. The spice was good, it ramped up as they had “lessons”.
Veronica and Aiden meet at a piano bar one night after Aiden had just been heartbroken by his best friend/band manager announced that she was in a new relationship. He took to the bottle and battled Veronica in a duet. When Veronica won, he broke his hand by punching a wall, and since she beat him at his own instrument, the band hired her on as his replacement while his hand healed. With threats of getting his life together or being dropped from the band/label, Veronica proposes fake dating if he teaches her how to be sexy so she can catch the eye of a guy from her hometown. The more time they spend together, the more they realize they are dreading their impending expiration date.
Joe and Avery did amazing. Avery was so good at portraying the innocence that Veronica was. And Joe was incredible as always. I felt like he was extra growly in this one and it was doing things to me. -
Great on audio
Audiobook review: narrated by Avery Caris and Joe Arden
4 stars for story / 5 stars for performance
Aiden has just found out his best friend has entered a relationship and he will be the last single person standing in his circle. He spirals and as a result is told a finding a girlfriend will be the only thing that can save his career. Enter Ronnie who is more than willing to enter a fake relationship with Aiden to gain some experience before moving on to a potential boyfriend/husband she has her eye on. This is your typical fake relationship / bad-boy good-girl trope. The characters are interesting and I really loved Ronnie's family. I'd love to go back and read about more of the band members from previous books.
The narration is done in duet style which is my absolute favorite way to listen to an audiobook. Joe Arden is top of the game when it comes to romance audiobooks. He can sell a scene like no one else and I have a hard time turning off these books once I get started. Avery Caris is also so good. She plays the innocent FMC perfectly. She has such a sweet sounding voice and listening to her talk is no hardship! I really felt the voice actors really sold this book for me. -
Aiden gets caught on video being beat playing the piano by a girl Veronica and punching a wall. The next day Anika, his manager, tells him he has one more chance to change his public persona. Anika also brings in the girl Veronica to play for him in the band since he broke his hand. They have an instant attraction but dislike each other. They start to become friends and make a deal to help each other no strings. The only problem is they both secretly start to feel more. Can they be together? Great choice and storyline. Highly recommended Amazing book I love Aiden and Ronnie and their character development. Great supporting characters. This book had sarcasm, humor, angst, and the spice is great. I love this book and series.
-
I was utterly captivated by this story, brilliantly brought to life by narrators Avery Caris and Joe Arden. Their portrayal of Aiden Addams, the notorious bad boy of the Rhett Taylor Band, and Veronica Vanderbilt, the sheltered music prodigy, was nothing short of mesmerizing. The dynamic between the characters was enhanced by the narrators' ability to convey deep emotions and humor, making their unconventional romance even more compelling. Caris and Arden's performances added depth to the story, making every moment of the fake relationship-turned-real narrative feel authentic and engaging. Their narration was the cherry on top of this satisfying conclusion to the series, making it an unforgettable audiobook experience for any romance lover.

This rock rom com was so properly titled as we meet Aiden and Ronnie and embark on their irresistibly entertaining journey!!
I didn’t think this series could get better, but once more this author proves me wrong by saving the bestest for last!
These characters are as different and as opposites as they could be. Yet, their chemistry and attraction was undeniable. Once they get past their raunchy conversations and banter there was so much more to them.
Laugh out loud, like snot snort laughter with devilishly dirty sizzling slow burn romance, this read was simply phenomenalicious!
The characters were so likable. Ronnie was sweet, and genuine. Yet she had some bite where she could stand up to anyone and give as good as she got! Aiden is on a downward spiral. He’s used to getting what he wants and not used to getting rejected. There’s so much going on with him and as he begins getting to know Ronnie, their interactions begin to evolve and develop into something more.
Heartfelt and passionate theirs is a story of self discover and taking chances!
Indeed Aiden and Ronnie’s story was worthy of all the shots! -
This book was way more than a 5 star. Ronnie is a college student wanting to pursue music and meets Aiden in a chance of a life time. When she blows the house down during a competition at a piano bar Aiden becomes a jealous alpha hole. What starts fake so Aiden doesn’t lose his spot on the Rhett Taylor band and gives Ronnie the experience she desperately wants quickly turns into a romance that will light you on fire. Loved Ronnie’s family and their interaction with Aiden and Aiden’s niece and nephew giving Ronnie hell. Anika was a trouble maker even if she did have good intentions. I loved all of the guys from the band and now in desperate need of a novella to get a follow up into their future.
-
Freaking Heather!! Ronnie & Aiden are EVERYTHING!! Omg, I seriously swooned, cried & laughed my way thru this book. This ridiculously over the top man… and omg Ronnie is such a sweetheart - this pairing was 🔥
And thanks for more Anika too! Her brand of crazy protectiveness and bitchiness is always a highlight. -
4 star
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, secrets, and heartbreak.
This is Ronnie and Aiden’s story. Ronnie and Aiden meet, and it goes downhill from there. She wins a contest, and he has a fit. Not she has to fill in for him. He is not happy. She comes up with a plan and asks him for his help. He is willing but what he does not realize is he is setting himself up for failure. In the end he was supposed to let her go but can he do that? He is falling. Is she pretending or falling also?
I recommend this book. -
I knew I was going to love this book but I didn’t know just how much!
Aiden Addams is the bad boy piano player for the Rhett Taylor band and his partying is a little wild. Finding out his best friend and roommate, Annika, is in love with someone else sends him into a tailspin that ends with a broken hand. When a duel on piano with Veronica Vanderbilt goes viral, Annika decides that the chemistry she’s seen in the video might just help him out. Getting Veronica to play whilst Aiden’s hand heals has them getting closer, especially when Veronica asks Aiden to teach her how to please a man!
This was definitely my favourite book this year! The characters were perfect together, the chemistry and banter off the charts. Throw in the band mates and Veronica’s family and her best friend Kinzy and you laugh out loud!! I’m sad to see this series end! -

Holy Cow!
I've been so excited for this book to come out. To get a chance to read another story from Heather that is so perfectly written is an honor. This story had me laughing and feeling so many different emotions. Heather did not disappoint!
Aiden is a badass who captured my heart and soul. I was able to read and feel every emotion that he was feeling. I was about to just fall head over heels in love with him because he has been through hell, but he still pushed himself to do better. He did not let himself stay a victim of his past environment and struggles. But it took a special person to show him what love truly is!
“They weren’t worthy of a heart as pure as yours.”
That quote was something that meant so much to me and made me want to yell it from the rooftops. Veronica was a shy and reserved woman who lacked parts of her that Aiden was able to bring out in her. This story had me in tears, but most definitely it had me smiling throughout the story.
Total must read and I feel like I need a story from Kinz. Ijs! 💋 -
Hilarious and hot
This book had me laughing out loud at times. Aiden was a wild one. He never wanted to settle down. One night and busywork changed. Veronica was a spit fire. This couple was amazing together. -
Worth the Shots is the fourth and final book in the Booze and Bad Decisions series and is the grumpy sunshine, fake dating, forced proximity, opposites attract, virgin heroine, rockstar romantic comedy of Aiden Addams and Veronica Vanderbilt.
Veronica (Ronnie) grew up living a sheltered life due to her overprotective father, and because of this she is sweet, buttoned up, mild tempered and naïve. However, when music student Ronnie visits a piano bar and comes face to face with Aiden Addams, bad boy piano player for the Rhett Taylor band, sparks fly. She gets up on stage for a dual with him and when she wins the battle, Aiden, who is already three sheets to the wind, loses his mind and runs out into the alley, punches the wall, and breaks his hand. Ronnie cannot believe her battle at the bar has gone viral and before she knows it, she is called into a meeting by Aiden’s manager Annika who asks her to cover for him until his hand heals. Seeing it as the opportunity of a lifetime and the chance to gain experience, Ronnie jumps at the chance, much to Aiden’s annoyance. Annika see’s the chemistry between Aiden and Ronnie and formulates a plan to use this to clean up his act. A fake relationship is formed between the sheltered good girl and the wild, out of control rockstar, yet things get interesting when Ronnie asks him to teach her how to please a man. Will they give in to their feelings and desires and bring Ronnie out of her shell? Will Ronnie be able to tame the wild child?
Aiden Addams is the bad boy piano player for the Rhett Taylor band and is indulging the bad boy, rockstar lifestyle a little too much. Finding out his roommate and best friend Annika is in love with someone else sends him into a downward spiral. This has him hitting the bottle harder than usual, and he ends up at the bar the band opened drowning his sorrows when he partakes in a dual with buttoned up Veronica Vanderbilt. However, it doesn’t go as he thought it would. He is beaten by a “nobody” storms out and breaks his hand when he gets into a fight with a wall. The piano battle that triggered Aiden’s broken hand goes viral and Annika decides she can use the chemistry evident in the video to her advantage and finally get Aiden on the straight and narrow. Aiden isn’t happy when Ronnie is brought in to replace him until his hand heals and that he will be the one teaching her everything to get her ready for the upcoming gigs. The more time they spend together the more the chemistry builds and when Ronnie asks him to teach her how to please a man, Aiden is both floored and overjoyed. Will Aiden be able to clean up his act enough and be the man Ronnie deserves? Will Aiden bring Ronnie out of her shell and allow her to be the sexy vixen she was always supposed to be?
The extraordinarily gifted Avery Caris and Joe Arden bring the fabulous Heather M. Orgeron’s word to life and do so in the most wonderful way.
Ms Caris’ performance as the sweet, innocent, buttoned up Veronica who is desperate to break out of the sheltered life she has lived but is frightened to step out of her comfort zone was brilliant. Avery’s sweet, honeyed, lilting tone was perfect to embody Ronnie blossoming from shy and reserved to outgoing sex kitten.
Mr Arden’s portrayal of the bad boy rockstar whose life is spiralling out of control and after trying and failing to find the answer to his problems at the bottom of a bottle, agrees to do things the right way with the help of Ronnie was terrific. Joe’s charmingly smooth, husky, smoky tone perfectly showcased troubled Aiden and the struggles he faced trying to turn his life around.
Overall, I loved this audiobook. It was classic Heather M. Orgeron that we all know and love. The perfect balance between witty banter, laugh out loud moments, sizzling chemistry, amazing side characters who all add value to the story and then the steamy scenes that hit EVERY. SINLGE. TIME! If you haven’t read any of Heather’s work you need to do so immediately, the woman is a master in her craft.
If you love a good grumpy sunshine, fake dating, forced proximity, opposites attract, virgin heroine, rockstar romantic comedy then you need this audiobook in your earbuds, you will love it!
