Publisher's summary

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carly Phillips returns to her sexy Kingston-Dare world of rich billionaire heroes in her new Kingston Family series.

He was her first love. She was his.
They broke up to follow their dreams.
Axel Forrester became a world famous drummer.
Tara Stillman became a veterinarian.

Years later, he’s scrolling social media and sees they’re both in East Hampton, NY.
Fate? Or Coincidence?

What’s a rockstar to do other than borrow his friend’s dog as an excuse to see the good doctor.

Cute story could have been longer

The male was a misfit for the character and he made the girls sound babyish, super annoying!!

Good book.

Axel was scrolling through his Facebook and noticed his high school girlfriend, Tara, had moved across the country and was now located in the same town he was in. He wondered what had happened as when they broke up because their life was going in two different direction Axel wanted to be a famous drummer and she wanted to be a veterinarian and work along with her dad at his practice. When he showed up at her vet’s office with his band mates dog just so he had a reason to talk to her she was shocked. He asked her out on a date and at first she didn’t want to go because she wanted something stable and knows his job does not allow this. Axel is to prove her wrong.
I really enjoyed this book and to see a little bit of Axel’s life. He really peaked my interest when he showed up in his sisters story. The narrators didn’t match what my brain thought they would sound like. Axel was called Alex a time to two as well.

Male narrator not good with female voices

Alexander Censese’s female voices are cringeworthy. I hated how he voiced Tara and other females in the story. The performance was annoying and didn’t do justice to the female parts. He needs to grow this part of his performance

Novel vs. Novela?

I loved the storyline, but would have preferred it to have been a full novel. I felt rushed through the story and while I got to know Axel a bit in the other Kingston books, it would have been nice to get to know more about the female lead. Narraters did a good job, again a bit rushed. Carly is a good writer, a completely different set of characters and storyline would have left me less disappointed.

Quick filler…

I’m into this series and wanted to learn about Axel’s story. I’ve enjoyed the narrators for books 1-4…this was a misstep. Male voice was so wrong after the deep, sexy voices of the other books. Hoping #5 gets back on track. Story was satisfying.

Drove me crazy

Didn’t care for the guys reading. He read to fast and his voice change for the women was like nails on the chalkboard.

Loved learning more about Axel.

The male narrator was a total miss. His female voice was painful to listen too.
