Swoon

A Brother's Best Friend Standalone Romance

De: Lauren Rowe

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Desireé Ketchum

Growing up, I knew my older brother’s best friend thought of me as “Logan’s kid sister”. For me, though, our next-door neighbor Colin felt like anything but a sibling. Whenever I spied on him through my bedroom window, as he banged away, shirtless, on his drum kit, I felt sensations inside me I’d never felt for my actual brother. But when we moved away and Colin’s band took off like a rocket, I knew my tweener fantasies would never become a reality.

Fast-forward nine years to my brother’s wedding, when I saw Colin again and we shared a secret, drunken kiss that rocked my world. The next morning, Colin blamed the alcohol. Said we should pretend the kiss, and my unfortunate text afterward, never happened.

Now that I’m heading to LA to work for Colin and crash at his place, though, all bets are off. I’m determined to make Colin swoon for me, the same way I’ve always done for him. Because no matter what he insisted, Colin’s body during our kiss, and the shocking thing he whispered into my ear right afterward, made it clear he doesn’t really think of me as his little sister, any more than I do.

Holy... Swoon!!

Excuse me while I mop my heart, that has melted into a big pile of goo, up off the floor. Holy wow! Talk about an aptly named book. Get ready to melt and swoon over Colin, Amy, and their class brother's best friend and little sister love story.

This was my first experience with Lauren Rowe's work. I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Her hero Colin was absolutely, for lack of better word, swoon worthy. Her heroine Amy was a quirky and massive spitfire. There was drama, moments of heartbreak, times you wanted to shake and cheer on both of them, as well as lots of moments of complete hilarity. I can't tell you how many times I busted out laughing. I was pleasantly surprised with the music elements to the audiobook. I was NOT expecting that. It's not every day that there is a break in the narration for the songs that are written into the story.

Joe Arden and Desiree Ketchum narrate the audiobook of "Swoon". With both of them bringing these characters to life, I was captivated from the very beginning and couldn't press the pause button. This was one of those narrations where you can't help but stay up late listening. Desiree is still a very new to me narrator and every time I listen to her, I fall more in love with her. She was pure perfection as Amy. Joe is everything you want in a hero. He just has a way of grabbing a hold of your heart no matter the character. Colin has a confident yet clueless personality that Joe brings to life brilliantly. I couldn't have asked for better narrators for this book.

Loved the audible.

I’ve loved this series very much. The music that accompanies it is so fabulous. The narrators are perfect. I can’t explain the special meaning of the song without possible spoilers, but let me just say, “read it”.

Enjoyed the bonus at the end

One of this author's better audio versions, right up there with Smitten for me. Excellent narration & I really liked the music after the epilogue.

Enjoyed

I always look forward to a Lauren story. This little world she created is pure perfection. Colin and Amy were sweet. I will say though you would enjoy the story more if you know the backlog of her collection. Otherwise some may get lost.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely obsessed with this book definitely recommend and I can not stop listening to the amazing songs highly recommend listening to the end

I loved everything

I like everything.The story, Colin and Amy, the whole crew of friends. Definitely one of the best books i have read.

Swoon will have you smitten💕

Get ready y’all because JOE will make you swoon💕 Seriously, Joe as Colin could pull my strings anytime🔥

Colin & Amy are written in the stars & in their moms’ dreams 😉 I love everything about their journey from the sweet stories of their childhood to the group advice from the Morgan Mafia…we get bonus advice from Peenie (that’s enough to make you swoon🥵) and Mama Lou😊

You guys!! We get another sexy sweet song! Colin may have been a bit of a dumb@$$ and is all in on his grand gesture❤️

Extra bonus we there are more ‘superband’ performances at Reed’s🥰 no spoilers but hatchets may have been buried🙃

Fave quotes:
“I can’t imagine Colin’s been spending this much time with you, and looking so happy doing it, solely to help you get a job and keep Luke from asking you to dance. I know Colin’s an actor these days, but Robert De Niro couldn’t fake the kind of chemistry I’m seeing between you two.”—I love how both Colin & Amy are both smitten with each other.

“It’s time, Amy O’Brien—time for you to experience The Sure Thing.”—-YASSS Girl! Get you some😜

“I’m doing God’s work,” Keane says reverently. “One lingering d0ng-shot at a time.”—-I absolutely love Peenie 🤣🥰

Swoon worthy

Another amazing swoon worthy love story from Lauren Rowe! Amy is a sweet, nervous chatterbox and Collin is such a sweetie with a heart of gold. Love all the guest appearances from all the characters from past books. Loved all the light hearted and witty banter. This one hits close to home for me and it gave me fireflies, butterflies and all the feels. ❤️. Don’t get me started on the narration Joe Arden and Desiree Ketchum were amazing it was literally music to my ears.
