Between the Flames

Ridgewood Series, Book 1

De: A.R. Rose

Narrado por: Azalea Blau

He wasn’t an ordinary crush, but the two of us were definitely a classic cliche.

Ryder Thompson is the quarterback of the football team. The star of campus. Everyone wanted to be him, be friends with him, or sleep with him. Unfortunately, I was no exception to that rule. The problem? I was the nerdy girl who he didn’t know existed—or at least that’s what I thought, until his actions showed me otherwise.

I could still feel his fingertips pressed against my neck, his touch lingering so vividly that I let myself wonder if there could someday be an "us". That was until the world came crashing down....

I spent years building a wall around my heart and keeping my feelings for him under lock and key. Now, 10 years later, he’s back in my life, making promises I’m not sure he can keep.

Listener's discretion is advised. Between the Flames features mature themes and content that may not be suitable for all audiences.

Great audio

I really loved the story here. I’m a sucker for a good second chance romance! I really liked the narration for the FMC, but the MMC wasn’t my favorite. However, overall I was able to get lost in the story!

Love!

Spicy little second chance romance. The friendship between Elle and Noah was really great to read, and all the scenes with her and Ryder are so hot! The narrator did great with the different voices for everyone, even the dual POV.

YUM

A decade of yearning and fantasizing, and then WOW when they get together! Loved the story and narration!

Great start to the series

This is a sweet story that follows Elle and Ryder.
Elle was the nerd in high school and Ryder was the jock. Elle had a huge crush on Ryder and never thought he even noticed her, but he did, and he also had a girlfriend. Although they had crushes on one another, life had other plans for Ryder. He was going to be a dad.

10 years later Elle has moved back closer to her home town, never really getting over the what ifs from her senior year.
When she runs into Ryder all those feelings rush back for both of them.
Ryder is going through a divorce and wants to the chance he never had before with Elle.
Will Elle open her heart?

I had the privilege of listening to the audiobook that was narrated by Azalea Blau. She did a fabulous jobs with all the characters in the book.

Thank you A.R. Rose for this ALC.

The story was interesting

This second chance story was really good. The dynamics between the characters were complex but interesting, lots of angst and a happily ever after. The narration was a bit rough. When she did the female voice it was great but when she did the male voice, it wasn’t the best. But the story itself made up for what the narration was missing.

Love this!

Fabulous story with characters that you'll remember! The meeting in the woods scene was so hot... Loved the setup, and loved the end!
