Park Avenue Player

De: Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland

Narrado por: Sebastian York, Andi Arndt

From New York Times best-selling authors, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland, comes a new standalone novel.

It started out like any normal day.

Then the fender bender happened.

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous.

Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about.

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Whoops!

Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece. At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed. But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game - don’t ask.)

We continued to flirt without crossing the line - until it finally happened.

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

LOVE!

You can't go wrong with a book narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt then add Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward as the authors what's not to like.

Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland are the queens of the slow-burn. They do an excellent job creating characters and situations in a realistically believable way then weaves in a little twist or an event that puts unexpected pressure on them. Park Avenue Players has characters that touches my heart and won’t let go.

The story begins with Elodie working off her anger toward her ex by setting up cheaters for a PI to improve the spouses’ divorce settlements. It is a good job with good pay, but Elodie is ready to find a position using her childhood education degree.

On her way to an interview for a nanny, she has a fender bender with—you guessed it—her potential new boss. From the moment Hollis walks into the conference room, it is clear Elodie does not have a chance in hell to get the position.

Hollis is a troubled man. Six years later Hollis still struggles with his ex-girlfriend’s betrayal. The walls around his heart are sky-high. He refuses to be trapped in a relationship again, but there is something about Elodie. It is more than her beauty; he can see her soul. Elodie is a positive influence on his niece, Hailey. Every day around Elodie, another piece of the wall comes down.

Elodie and Hollis' story has a little of everything. The story unfolds perfectly for two people who have a lot to balance, not the least of which is Hailey, Hollis' niece who recently came into his life. Elodie is the perfect nanny for Hailey. She can relate to having parents that don't measure up.

There is a twist that throws a wrench in everything. It is not what I expected at all. My first reaction after the twist is that Hollis is unreasonable, but when I thought about it, I understand. It isn't easy on anyone when everything you believe turns out to be wrong.

Park Avenue Player is a beautiful enemies-to-lovers novel. The supporting characters enhance the plot immensely. Hailey is a pre-teen learning to deal with family issues while adjusting to her new home, school, and her changing expectations. The narrative unfolds at precisely the right pace to keep the reader engaged and turning the page.

I am never disappointed with this writing duo. Individually, Vi and Penelope's writing style is excellent—as a duo, they are beyond A+++. For me, each new release is better than the last, and that isn't easy to do. Park Avenue Player is bumpy road of fun, disappointment, and love brought to life by wonderful narrators.

The glory of love

Wonderful mesmerizing spiritually uplifting Funny Inspirational The UPS and Downs of true love Passionate Beautiful Loved it❤🔥

didn't see it coming

I am usually intuitive enough to guess what is forthcoming in a book, but not this one!

Its filled with love, sadness, empathy, friendship, and the best of all, lots of hot steamy sexy stuff!!

the authors are great. I rarely laugh when reading books and perhaps listening makes it better but I found myself chuckling many times!

great, great read!

Great story

This is about love, trust,a long history of growing up with a person, since kindergarten to adulthood. Meeting someone and daring to trust again. The narrators are great.....the end of the story has a major twist... worth listening to 👂❤️😄😂😇🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

I love book! 💓

Loved the story. It was funny, thoughtful, happy and sad. And as usual, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York delivered the feelings that bring the story to life. Laugh out loud and crying, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland's heartfelt story.👏👏👏

another hit...

Such a great read and listen! It's very emotional and heart warming. Andi and Sebastian did such a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life!

More depth than I expected

I love these 2 authors, but this one went above and beyond my expectations. I smiled, laughed and teared up. Such delicate subject matters delivered with grace, respect and emotions that are normal.

Always Great!

These two authors always deliver a wonderful story full of love and humor very close to our own lives. Great book, story and entertainment!

Oh Wow! All the feels—ALL OF THEM!

This was such an intense romance! The twists and turns were such a surprise! I loved it—even the emotional rollercoaster ride. This was a unique, heart-felt story with deep characters and a very interesting plot. As for the narration, I always search for books narrated by Andi Arndt and male power-performers like York, Webber/Morgan, and Arden. They do such an awesome job! I actually pass up books narrated by others, in favor of their performances because I’m so spoiled by their talents and abilities to bring written stories to life. Oh how I wish that every single book could be narrated by them, and that they could all have the enjoyable—emotional quality content of this one.

Awesomely written and performed

Loved the faith and religion woven in and the twist in the story! Very moving and I love Andi and Sebastian!
