Drowning Erin

By: Elizabeth O'Roark

Narrated by: Rock Engle, Stephanie Wyles

Erin Doyle can't stand manwhores, and she particularly can't stand Brendan Langstrom - the guy who avoids relationships like the plague and never sleeps with the same girl twice.

She and Brendan have waged a war of mutual disdain for years, but when Brendan picks up the pieces after her world unravels, they'll be forced to admit that beneath their dislike is something else entirely - something they're not supposed to feel. Because Brendan isn't just her nemesis...he's also her fiancé's best friend.

Contains mature themes.

Frustrating...but also good

I loved the first book in this series. But I found this one to be a little frustrating. Brendan is a man-whore and his tendency to fall back into those habits was annoying. He would get all jealous of any guys talked to Erinn...but then he would act like he didn’t know her and talk with other women? It was confusing. He explains that later on and I enjoyed the book enough to stick with them. But there were several moments when I wanted to shake both the H and the h. There were enough good moments to keep me interested. But there were other things that made me cringe.

good book

overall a good read. I enjoyed the characters and the story was ok. it was a good summer quick read/listen.

the narration

Really did enjoy the story but while the female narrator played the male narrative, it was slow and felt like it was too forced.

I love this author and her stories are usually have stronger, believable characters. There was so much miscommunication, aloofness from the heroine and it made her seem a little weak.

But I am glad I listened.

Great story

I loved this story! Great storyline! second chance romance with a HEA! Highly recommend!

Would be great if Erin had some brains 🧠

I really like the storyline but the heroin, “Erin” was extremely stupid with how she reacts to both men... Rob who is the fiancé lied and CHEATED on her with a girl from his work who went on the work merger for 5 months n never told her... then Branden who is Rob’s best friend, but actually liked her b/4 him, acted like an ass and got tongue tied towards her when they were younger but when he matures he’s back and fighting for her...
The female narrator talks nasally n does most of the book do I was kinda upset b/c I love it when there’s dual narrators

Could not stop listening!

This book in the series was even more enjoyable than the first. I found myself staying in my car listening to the audio far longer than necessary becaise there was never a good place to pause for the next commute. I was invested in Brendan and Erin's story. There were so many times I wanted to throttle one or both of them, but in the end the story went the way it was supposed to. I loved it.

Love Erin and Brendan!

This was a great listen. I could feel the hate, the tension, the betrayal, the lust. Sooo good.

A beautiful story!!

Loved Erin and Brendan!!! This live story will have you sucked in from start to finish. The story alternates from past and present giving you a true sense of the relationship these two have had over the years. One thing for sure is it isn’t all what it seemed. A definite MUST READ!!

3 stars

I thought this was just ok. The past /present chapters were preventing me from completing enjoying the story. And I honestly thought Brandon wasn't the same person as he was in Waking Olivia. I also thought Erin wasn't likeable enough. I'll still read Elizabeth work, a new to me author this year and she's a hidden gem!

So Refreshing

I was previously in a book slump and haven't found anything that grabbed my attention enough to really care what was being said. This all stopped when I started book 1 to this series! I was pleasantly surprised when they touched base on Olivia and I felt this book wasn't as rushed at the end. I could listen to another 3 books about their lives 🖤 I'm be patiently waiting to hear about her brother getting out of rehab? turning his life around, meeting Harper and falling madly in love! Make it happen!
