Rough Terrain

By: Annabeth Albert

Narrated by: Greg Boudreaux

The camping trip from hell may be the first stop on the road to happily ever after in Rough Terrain, the final audiobook in Annabeth Albert’s critically acclaimed, fan-favorite Out of Uniform series.

Navy SEAL Renzo Bianchi has a soft spot for Canaan Finley, and not only because the man makes a mean smoothie. He’s the first guy to get Renzo’s motor revving in a long time. But when he agrees to Canaan’s insane charade - one all-access fake boyfriend, coming right up - he never expects more than a fling.

Creating a hot Italian SEAL boyfriend to save face seemed like a good idea...until his friends called Canaan’s bluff. Now, he’s setting off into the woods with the very man who inspired his deception, and Canaan is not the outdoorsy type. The sparks are already flying when a flash flood separates them from their group, leaving Renzo and Canaan very much trapped...very much alone in the wilderness.

Working together to come up with a plan for survival is sexier than either of them expects. But back in the real world, being a couple is bringing its own set of hazards....

Fake boyfriend + adventure + fantastic narration!

I’m reviewing this book after reading it for the second time and it’s still a solid 5 out of 5. I always love how Annabeth writes interesting characters, depicts different kinds of s*xuality, adds in delicious tension and a little drama, and always delivers satisfying HEAs. Canaan and Renzo had some really stubborn moments, and Renzo especially could be a total knucklehead, but they both had issues to work through and did so over the course of the book. Ultimately I really loved these guys and how realistic their relationship felt.

The audiobook is narrated by Greg Boudreaux and he always does an awesome job bringing the characters and story to life. Highly recommending listening to this book!

Rough Terrain includes demis*xuality, a BIG size difference and an MC who is self conscious about it, forced proximity, adventure/survival, and fake boyfriends.

OMG great listen

More than liked, loved this way end the series. Can’t wait to listen to the fire jumpers series. Don’t know if friends are into audible, I would if they were. Loved the story and the whole thing about everyone’s anatomy is different, totally get the family parts too, we can’t live without them.

love story between two unexpected individuals

loved the storyline and the narration. 2 strong characters with each heir own doubts, but they fall in love as they experience a tough challenge.

I really enjoyed this series.

These two were the perfect ending for the series. Renzo and Canaan meet at a coffee shop. Get to know each other. Canaan then finally asked Renzo out. Great first date. Canaan is getting pushed to go on a camping trip with his old band mates. He wants to meet up with the ban but doesn’t want the drama of his ex. He then ask Renzo if he would be his fake boyfriend so everyone would stop hassling him. Renzo grungly agrees. They get caught up on a flash flood and basically save each other. The relationship is on for real now. They have some hurdles to jump over and some past plans they come into the mix but they will get it figured out.

Terrific fake couple to real love story!

Out of all the books in this series, I think this one, of any of them, could be read as a standalone. It was a great fake couple to real love story. There was a little drama and a tiny bit of angst, and a really wonderful second chance! I loved the epilogue!

Another great job by Greg.

The Best Book of the Series!

I loved this book and it was serious fire between Caanan and Renzo! Lots of of hot steamy romance and O loved the way the booked ended!

Amazing

I am loving Renzo and Canaan their dynamics are wonderful. Canaan is a SEAL chases according to his EX, who is a real douchebag and gets what he deserves, but he is also sweet and charming. He and Feb So strike up a friendship and he asks Renzo to be his pretend boyfriend on a hiking trip with his EX band. It goes horribly wrong but pretend turns to real life. wonderful end to an amazing series, and have to say GO GRANDPA!!!!

Wonderful book!

l Loved this book. Was worried that I would hate Canaan as he was seemed like a flake in book 3. However, these two are wonderful. Instead of the come here go away, these two talked it out and did the journey together. Low angst with a great story line.

Rough Terrain

A wonderful love story and remarkable characters! You will be entertained by this story of two different Men who fall in love slowly but very deeply. The characters are very well written and they will keep your attention and your interests. It's a great read and the narrator, Greg Boudreaux was perfect for this story.
