My Life in Shambles

De: Karina Halle

Narrado por: Carly Robins, Richard Sawyer

They say bad things happen in threes. After my boyfriend broke off our engagement, I lost my apartment, and was laid off from my job, I can definitely attest to that.

They also say life is what happens when you say yes to new adventures. So when my two sisters invited me to ring in the new year in Ireland, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and go for it. I was going to let "saying yes" be my new resolution.

Little did I know I'd spend New Year's Eve having a hot and dirty one-night stand with Padraig McCarthy, one hell of a sexy Irishman. I also didn't know that the brooding and intense sex god was one of Ireland's top rugby players. A rugby player with a proposition for me: come with him to his tiny hometown of Shambles and pretend to be his fiancee for a few days, just so that his ailing father can have some peace of mind.

It sounded simple enough. It was anything but. Not when a town gets up in your business, not when the media hunts you down, not when your past comes back in the picture, not when there are real hearts and feelings at stake.

They say life is what happens when you say yes to new adventures. This is my life in Shambles.

Contains mature themes.

Such a wonderful beautiful love story

I thought the last book I read Karina's was my favorite but this has beat it. An Irish love story has always been a favorite to my heart and this definitely brought that. I would love to read more in a series, A few of the characters in this story would make an awesome follow up.

WE love a good Irish romance

My heart. What a great romance. If you want a romance with a good HEA with a hunky, brooding, rugby playin Irishman, then this is the book for you. The narrator did a great job and the accents were spot on. Caution: Sex scenes are wow!!

Cringeworthy accents

I would’ve given this a higher rating of not for the female narrator. Her accents made me cringe.

Sweet and Spicy

4 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 4 🎧

This was a really sweet story. A friend said it felt like Sara Cate and Jennifer Hartmann got together and wrote a Hallmark story, and I couldn't agree more. It was sweet and spicy with a touch of heartache.

I absolutely loved the beginning. I couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear as these two found their way to each other. I was swooning so hard at their instant connection and joy they brought each other. While that magic faded as we got into the darker parts of the book, I still very much enjoyed this book as a whole.

The audio was great. I adore Carly Robbins and Richard Sawyer and they were both so perfect for these roles.

Don’t miss this title!

This was such a great story and such an amazing narration! Very emotional! I highly recommend this audio!

One of my favorites

The storyline was great and unexpected. I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would.

Loved it

Very relatable characters and real life scenarios.. I also cried a couple if times. Overall great story

Brings my favorite book to life beautifully

Human soulmates are fine and good, but if you've ever found your soul in a book- well, the feeling of hearing that brought to life by capable and emotive narrators is a whole different level.

Both narrators do a gorgeous job with Padraig and Valerie, and all the emotional twists and depth of their story. I was a little worried, but this is absolutely flawless.

Great story

I'm not a writer, but love the talent of a great story teller. Love the journey of discovering life with unforseen change and struggles. coming out better on the otherside together

So unexpectedly great!!

Let me start by saying I love this author, her ability to we words into characters is fantastic. I went in with no expectations about this book and was blown away by the authenticity of the characters and the situations. Beautiful story, you definitely won’t waste a credit on this.
