Rixton Falls, Book 1

By: Winter Renshaw

Narrated by: CJ Bloom, Eric London

Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

His name is Royal, but he's no prince charming. He's not even a prince - though you could say I loved him once upon a time.

He was my older brother's best friend. Growing up, he sat at our dinner table every Sunday, teased me mercilessly, and pretended I annoyed him. When I was old enough, he took me on my first date.

Royal taught me how to drive. Escorted me to my junior prom. Gave me my first kiss...among other things. He was my first taste of toe-curling, all-consuming, can't-sleep love.

We had our whole lives ahead of us. There was never anyone else for me but him. And then he disappeared. No letter. No explanation. Not even a good-bye.

I've spent the last seven years trying in vain to forget my first love, but just when I think I've finally moved on, guess who's back in town?

Good story, drags out.

I enjoyed the story, but it took way too long to get where it was going.

it kept me interested

It seemed a little drawn out and part of the story was wildly unbelievable. I stuck with it to know what happened to all the main characters.

A Royal Mess

Not often do I come across a story that is agonizing to finish,but...unfortunately this one was.Over all the story was all right,might've been better to have read the book instead of listening to it.Eric London(the male narrator)was awful in doing some of the female characters,some sounded like a drag queen with a bad cold...CJ wasn't too much better since she told the story to you like you were an elementary school kid sitting on the floor.I don't understand how the"police"back in the day allowed a 40 year old man to keep a 15 year old girl who wasn't related to him or his foster child,how did that get overlooked?I recommend reading the story,it might be better.

Loved It

It was really good & I didn’t want it to end .. first time reading from this author & im a fan..

Royal & Demi!!!

I absolutely loved their story!
Narration is great and really brings the story to life.

It is ok

I made it to the end and thought it was ok. I will not continue the series as it was not intriguing enough.

Childhood love

I enjoy books about childhood love and best friend's sister. Royal the love-struck romantic never gave up on Demi. Demi never understood why Royal never returned to her after an unexpected trip. Fast forward 7 years, and the real drama begins: so much angst, unexpected events, and sadness. I was disappointed with Demi's father. I'm glad this ended with HEA. Narrators were good. Worth my credit.

Good story

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. The story of a boy and a girl who loved each other completely, then were forced to be separated by tragedy and lies. Seven years later, she's engaged to another man and is shocked when he calls off the wedding. As soon as her ex-fiancé leaves her he is involved in a serious car accident which leaves him in s medically induced coma. Everyone thinks they are still engaged, which is where her old love comes back into the picture. He still loves her and she soon realizes that she still loves him too. After they have reunited, the ex-fiancé wakes up and his massive web of lies starts to unravel. She turns to her first love for comfort and reassurance, while lies about the past by family come to light. Very nice ending and great narration.

Lacking

This story is extremely predictable and just annoying to follow - I couldn't finish the book.

love Royal and Demi
