Never Let Go

Haven, Montana, Book 2

De: Jill Sanders

Narrado por: Lauren Ezzo

Activist meets corporate in this sizzling romance by New York Times bestselling author Jill Sanders.

Trent McGowan has never been the guy who doesn't get what he wants. He and his brothers are making a go of the oil business, and he's always had a bit of a reputation with the ladies. Only lately, something's been missing - something Trent never realized he needed...until he sees his childhood crush standing on the picket line, trying to destroy his company. And what happened to turn sweet Addy Collins into a sexy activist?

Environmentalist Adrianna Collins has returned to her hometown of Haven, Montana, on a mission to stop destructive oil mining. She never imagined that the corporate face on the other side of the protest line would be her lifelong crush. The Trent she remembers is better known for flirting than, uh, fracking, and she can't believe he'd risk his city to make a quick buck.

Now Trent's determined to prove that he's not the person she thinks he is. If he can earn Addy's trust, he might be able to save his company - and bring Addy home for good.

My Review:
Overall: 3.5
Performance: 3.0
Story: 3.75

Overall, I'm enjoying this series. I like the three brothers and their mother and what they're trying to do in this small town with their oil business. My husband works in the oil business at the same time that we believe in environmental issues...not an easy balance, so I really, really love what the author is trying to do with these guys and their company.

This was an interesting story just because Addy is a huge environmental activist, actively protesting the McGowan's oil company...not exactly a match made in heaven. But the story works...even if Addy did seem to lose a bit of her fire by the end of the story as her focus shifted from her job to her family issues. The book felt a bit split just because Addy's conflict was split into two very separate issues.

But I did like Trent's home life and the things that are developing there for this series. And I really enjoyed Trent and Addy as a couple. I also LOVED the puppy developments and all their names....oh, and the horse names were PERFECT.

Note: I really didn't like this narrator much. While she had great voices that were very distinctive from one another, she had a weird way of inflecting her narration. Her narration was extremely precise and as such there was a distinct end at the end of each sentence that felt too much like she was reading. There were several times throughout the audiobook where it was so bad that it distracted me from the story...not good.

So, not the most gushing review I've ever written, but don't misread me...I did enjoy the book and am fully looking forward to the final book in the series.

not sure which i prefer book 1 or 2?

they go well together, book 1 and 2. You had me at Montana, it gets me every time. it was fun checking out a book and a new narrator to me. I did get both book 1 & 2 ...when they were on sale. I love a good Montana read. check it out. gorgeous cover. fun and quick listen. Makes life go a bit easier … when you do your daily chores to a nice listen. ( ;

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

great book

I'm just getting into audio books but I loved this one.!!! the narrator is great.

Small town romance ♥️🪧🛢️💙

I like this book and the premise of the story. Trent is a good, up standing man, and his intentions are always clear and admirable.

I struggled to like Addie, mainly because I’m not really impressed with advocates, and I didn’t like the way she was not upfront about what she was doing. I felt like she spent a big part of the book using Trent. I’m glad they finally worked everything out, and she didn’t end up being a good person, but, most of the book I really didn’t care for her.

I’m interested to see Trey, the last brothers story.

The environmental activist & the oil man

This book pics up where book 1 left off...this is 2nd brother, Trent’s story. Not everyone in Haven, MT is a fan of the McGowan’s and their oil drilling business. In fact, the reason that Addy has returned home is to protest and dig up dirt on the McGowan’s latest land purchase and their plans for same. But as Addy and Trent grow close, someone isn’t happy and incidents start...burning Addy’s Jeep for one. Can Trent and his brothers get evidence as to whim is behind the attacks? Another great story in the series. Looking forward to Trey’s next.

Good but not my favorite

It took a chapter to get into the book and just my opinion, the audio wasn’t the best. It didn’t grab and keep you. Thankfully the story line was good or I would’ve bailed out. Was hoping for more seduction but it is what it is.

narrator

Could not finish listening - the narrator ruined it for me. Will have to read.
