Through His Eyes

De: Nikki Ash

Narrado por: Kelsey Navarro, Tim Paige

The moment I saw her walk through the door of Forbidden Ink, I knew she was the one. With her wide hips, thick thighs, and perfect breasts, she's every man's wet dream.

Add to that her dark, soulful eyes, pouty lips, and a body covered in gorgeous art, and I knew I needed to make her mine.

She's a walking contradiction of sass and strength and determination, hidden by insecurity and self-doubt. She's everything I could ever want or need, but she doesn't see what I see.

I want to take away her pain. To be the one to make her laugh, to make all her dreams come true. I need to prove to her that I'm not him, that no matter what, I'll be right there beside her. Loving her.

If only she could see herself through my eyes, she would understand we were made for each other.

Contains mature themes.

Why create such an insecure heroine?

The whole the story was about her insecurity. I gave high rating, although I hate the h, I couldn’t ignore good writing. I enjoyed other stories from this author so I’m not giving on her next book. If you can take negative inner dialogue, the story will defiantly pull you in.

Amazing

This book hands down is the best I’ve read in a while. Much respect to the author for the honest view of a woman in his eyes.

Loved this book and the way the author writes.

I loved the way Nikki writes. I love this book.

The only thing I disliked was when Tim does the female voices.

Great Book

Great book! Definitely recommend if you have fre me time to listen too. Definitely listening to it again for sure!

Age gap with an older heroine, younger hero and a curvy single mom!

Through His Eyes was my first read from Nikki Ash but definitely won’t be my last! This has age gap (she’s 12 years older than him) and a curvy, single mom!

The story starts with Quinn in an emotionally abusive, loveless marriage. Her husband treats her horribly and talks down on her because of her curvy body. Thankfully he isn’t around long in the story and Quinn finds herself a pregnant widow! We then cut to 5-6 years later in the story and Quinn is a single mom to her daughter, who gets help from her tight-knit family and friend group. One day Quinn meets Lachlan at her brother’s tattoo shop and Lachlan is immediately, and obviously, into her. Quinn doesn’t take him seriously at first since she’s older than him and can’t believe he’d be into her. But when she sees how determined he is to take her out and how good he is with her daughter too, she gives in.

This was very fast-paced and things do move a little too quickly at times. But I liked seeing Quinn get her HEA. She definitely struggles with her body image and self doubts a lot. But Lachlan is determined to prove to her she’s perfect. I liked seeing how sweet he is with her daughter right away! This does have age gap with an older heroine (she’s 39, he’s 27)!

CW: abusive marriage, body image struggles and shaming

One of my favorite age gap romances

We all need a man like Lachlan. This was a sweet story with just enough drama and angst for a really good plot. The love and spice was done so well too.

Loved the raw emotions in story

This really deals with emotional abuse and the difficulty of overcoming it. The story is very well done, and the narration was perfect. I loved every moment, sad and uplifting.

a Great book

What initially drew me to this book was the Heroine's age and story. Though not my personal story I LOVE a mature Heroine with a cougar edition age gap.

Kelsey and Tim did a good job narrating. Tim's Irish accent was so good.

Not a great Irish accent, with some good not great spice. A good one time read.

So I liked the way the woman reads, but the man’s voice sounded a bit odd trying to force an accent. The story was mostly decent but the pacing wasn’t great. At times I was creeped out by the word choice of “wearing her down” to get our heroine to give him a chance after multiple refusals, and the ending was rushed. In general a single mom story is appreciated but a lot of the getting to know them stage feels glossed over , resulting in what makes it feel like a blog post more than a book at times. It was mostly performed well where it needed to be. The spice scenes are good, sometimes wish they were longer towards the end, like increasing over time. It’s a read you get one and done, I’m not sure I’ll get another Nikki ash title, but I gave it a shot.

Age is just a number

Lachlan was exactly what Quinn needed. He was patient, kind, and understanding. He saw the woman Quinn was underneath all her self deprecation. The age gap was hard on Quinn on top of her own thoughts of being over weight. She was not. She was just a normal curvy girl who heard the word fat, one too many times from someone who was supposed to lover her. No matter what she thought, Lachlan told her and showed her how beautiful she was inside and out.
