Love Story

Love Unexpectedly Series, Book 3

De: Lauren Layne

Narrado por: Amy Melissa Bentley, Rudy Sanda

When Lucy Hawkins receives a job offer in San Francisco, she can't wait to spread her wings and leave her small Virginia hometown behind. Her close-knit family supports her as best they can, by handing over the keys to a station wagon that's seen better days. The catch? The cross-country trip comes with a traveling companion: her older brother's best friend, a.k.a. the guy who took Lucy's virginity hours before breaking her heart.

After spending the past four years and every last dime caring for his sick father, Reece Sullivan will do just about anything to break free of the painful memories - even if it means a two-week road trip with the one girl who ever made it past his carefully guarded exterior. But after long days of bickering in the car turn into steamy nights in secluded motel rooms, Reece learns that, when it comes to Lucy, their story is far from over. And this time, they just might have a shot at a happy ending.

Contains mature themes.

The. Accents. Are. GARBAGE!!

I can say the book was pretty okay. The story was cute and had its funny moments. BUT the HORRIBLE COUNTRY ACCENTS made me picture overalls, missing teeth, plaid shirts, pet pigs and tractors. I mean I hear the Beverly Hillbillies music in the background.

Great Potential

Pretty good lead up to a little bit of a letdown. He was horribly in the wrong and there was no repentance. She was immature and stupid.

Hotheads ahead!

Woooo their ability to argue is unrelenting! I loved the story and the backstory to their relationship! The accents were annoying but being from the south it wasn’t too horrible! Lauren Layne is proving to be one of my favorite authors! On the the next book!

Yikes

I had high hopes because the first 2 books were pretty good but this was just awful to get through. The male narrator was not great with his southern accent. I feel like I know he was trying the bayou accent but it was just a miss. If you had to skip this one I definitely would.

Lucy kind of ruined it

3.5

Lucy kind of annoyed me? I generally liked this story but something about her just wasn't for me that took away from the story a bit

Why???? 4/20

The story started off with a bang.... a little slow and repetitive but couldn’t wait to see what happens..... Then WTF🤯😤🤬 why....just WHY was the ending like that???? Made both characters extremely stupid I wanted to through my phone.... but I pushed through it n wish the ending was different..
The narrators were great if they didn’t imitate different genders.. any book with both male/ female narrators r the only ones I listen to

Male narrator sucked

Decent plot but male narrator's imitation of a southern accent was trash. If you can get past that you might actually enjoy the story. You may get annoyed at Lucy and Reese for stubbornly thinking they know what the other person is thinking instead of actually communicating but still a good listen aside from the male narration.

Made Me Yell At My Phone

I have never been so frustrated with a MMC as I was with Reese. Omg! Lucy has the patience of a saint because I would have been gone with the wind never to be seen again lol But they were so cute. I’m a sucker for childhood friends to lovers. Great performance by the voice actors too.

A series usually has familiar characters

First, I'll start with the fact that a series usually includes characters from a previous book, this is yet again a whole new story.
The narration is super cheesy and at first, I could barely listen, but after a while I got used to it and lowered my expectations. The female narrator is okay, it's the male that is hard to handle.
The story itself is pretty good if you can get past the narration and that it has nothing to do with the first two books.

The accents got me

It took everything I had to get past the male narrator’s fake southern accent. The general narrations were not great, but when he narrated for the brother I CRINGED! I never really got into the story but I got the ick early on.
