The Hardest Fall

De: Ella Maise

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Lidia Dornet

The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you're anyone but me.

The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I'm very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I'm attracted to. At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I'd never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong.

He was the star wide receiver of the football team, one of the few players expected to make it into the NFL, and I ended up seeing him all over campus. I might have also propositioned him, run away from him, attacked him with a cooking utensil...and...uh, maybe I shouldn't tell you all of it. It's pretty normal stuff, things you'd expect...from me.

Eventually, the time came when I couldn't hide anymore - not that he'd have let me even if I tried. Before now, he never knew I was secretly watching him. Now that we see each other every day, he knows when I have a hard time looking away. It doesn't help that I'm not the most subtle person in the world either. He smiles at me and tells me he finds me fascinating because of my quirks. I can't even tell him that I think my heart beats differently whenever he's around.

He thinks we're going to be best friends. I think I have a big thing for him, and the more I get to know him, the more I don't care that I'm not allowed to be his friend, let alone fall for him. The thing is, that's exactly what I'm doing - what we're doing, I think. Falling. Hard.

Contains mature themes.

Perfect!!!

I loved the way all the parts of the story came together - and the story was a good one too. It had all the elements I think makes a great story, so excellent job Ella Maise. I also wanna thank you for writing stories like these to help persons like myself believe that we will find our "dream men" one of these days, without having to settle.

And how could I forget the narrators. Thank you both expander Cendese and Linda Sorbet for bringing your awesome narrative skills to this book. Your contribution has definitely helped to enhance the experience.

The Hardest Fall

Good storyline. I laughed a lot. The narrators Alexander Cendese, Lidia Dornet, brought a brilliant spin with there voices. I liked Dylan Reed. He was a strong leading man. Zoe Clarke not so much. She was so insecure it was painful. In the end she grew on me. I could understand her more once I heard her story. Yes, it's worth a credit.

Great story, narration not so much

I didn’t like the male narrator’s “female” voice. It took away the “feel” from the intimate moments between the two characters. The story was great…drawn out a little but good.

Fun story

The story kept my attention throughout and kept me anticipating more. The ending was also beautiful.

Loved!

Loved this book! Felt like I waited forever for it only because I love Ella Maise’s books so much! Please write faster!!!

Both Narrators are good!

Not sure why some readers are hating on the male narrator - I am very picky with books and narrators but think Alexander Cendese does a great job! So don't let those comments keep you from reading the book. Although the story is slow moving, its good and entertaining, a nice light read especially while at work, I say go for it, give it a try!

Great story. Male narrator was not great.

I really enjoyed this story. I love audiobooks and rarely complain about narration. The female narrator was great. The male narrator’s narration of the female lead character’s voice was incredibly grating. It was just awful. I very nearly turned the book off in the first few chapters. I am very glad I didn’t, because the storyline and characters made up for it. I’ll be looking for more stories from this author.

Amusing

I found this book to be light hearted and amusing. It's an actual romance with awkwardness and misunderstanding. There are highs and lows, but it's all worth it in the end. I've come to realize I really like this authors style of writing and often find myself laughing out at her books. I'll be listening to more from her.

Male narration of female lead was cringe worthy

Loved the female narrator, but the man made the female lead sound like a 6th grade mean girl. He just didn't pull me in when it was his narration.

Cute

I was pleasantly surprised by this story. It was free which surprised me even more because it was really good!
