From Lukov with Love

By: Mariana Zapata

Narrated by: Callie Dalton, Teddy Hamilton

If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close.

But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything. Including Ivan Lukov.

LOVE Mariana Zapata and this story.

Mariana hit it out of the park with this one. Love the banter and sarcasm between Jasmine and Ivan. Also the duet narration is amazing. I was worried I wouldn't like it because Callie Dalton is so amazing but Loved it! It made it feel like how I would experience it while reading it.

Excellent!

Really enjoyed this! Excellent story excellent narrative. I loved the characters and the build up!

Loved having both male & female narrators

It took a bit for Jasmine to grow on me, because she was so stubborn and kind of a bitch at first, but she owned up to her mistakes and made positive changes. I adored Ivan and I was thrilled that there was a male reader just for his parts. The narration was excellent, and I'm glad I waited for the audio book to release before diving in.

Freaking love Mariana Zapata and Callie Dalton AND NOW Teddy

Ugh this was perfect. Zapata NEVER disappoints. I laugh out loud and relate so well with the leading female. This was my FAVORITE narration though... Teddy Hamilton’s voice was just.... sigh... great. And as always, Callie is on point. After listening I want to watch some figure skating!

This Author Never Disappoints ...

I've now read half a dozen of this author's works. Many times the premise seems less than appealing. And yet, time after time, the flaws, goals, mistakes, perseverance and triumphs experienced by the main characters make the stories compelling, moving and uplifting.

Given the story itself and an excellent narrator performance, I highly recommend this audiobook.

Slow start - sizzling finish!

Hang in there, it's totally worth the wait! Though the pace crawled at first, the story is lovely. I'm amazed at how Mariana Zapata can wear so many hats (or step into so many shoes) in each new book. Bravo!

great chemistry

the author did a great job creating chemistry between main characters. i couldn't stop listening and did not want it to end.

Rivals to Lovers Gem!

Continuing my AE Hit List with this Rivals to Lovers gem with excellent narration! Nearly 15 hours of snarky ice skating rivalry and evolution from rivals to friends to EVERYTHING! This is in AE, but I would happily spend a credit on it.

This is all in the female POV, but all of Ivan's spoken parts are Teddy 🥰

It’s my cup of tea!!

Mariana’s books are my go to in rough times when I’m stressed and just want to feel different emotions. Everyone has different interest but if you want a nice angsty, lots of different emotions please read or listen.

Blown away!

I dont give out 5 stars often, but when I do they are definitely deserved. This audiobook was such a surprise for me. i’d listened to 3 other works by this author, including Kulti (which used to be my favorite up until now) and none of those books hold a candle to this one. From Lukov with love was just pure perfection. And the narrators did an excellent job. I especially loved the decision to have a male voice narrating all of hero’s lines. more audios should do this bcus it adds so much more to the experience. I haven’t been so sad for a book to end in a long time. Please buy this book its worth all of your credits and possibly your left kidney. Believe me. You wont regret it.
