The Love Project

By: T.B. Markinson, Miranda MacLeod

Narrated by: Lori Prince

Can a long shot bring love to a couple of lonely hearts?

Joni Fisher is facing economic ruin. The once successful advice column she runs with her mother is on the brink of cancellation, and it’ll take a miracle to turn things around. Joni’s last-ditch effort to save her job and preserve her mother’s legacy is The Love Project, a web series she’s developing to bring the Help Me Henrietta franchise alive for a new generation. All she needs is a willing victim...er, star.

Hope Alvarez dreams of falling in love, but she’s always suspected she’s different. Physical attraction is a foreign language to her. After her only prospect for a meaningful relationship falls through, Hope has to face the fact that she’s completely hopeless when it comes to love. Can her favorite advice columnist, Henrietta, save her from a lonely future?

As the series gets underway, fans swoon for the lovable yet unlucky Hope, and they’re not the only ones. Joni is smitten, too. But she’s been down that road before, vowing never again to fall for a straight woman who will keep her forever in the friend zone. Except, what if she’s been reading the situation all wrong? Helping Hope make sense of her identity might save Joni’s job, but will it also bring her love?

Best-selling lesbian fiction authors T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod have written a touching slow-burn romance about love striking when least expected.

Finding Her Way

So relatable, clever plot, many fun endings. Narrator excellent in telling of breaking boundaries.

Fun story that held my attention throughout.

I enjoyed the story and romance. Refreshing to have a Lesbian romance with a happy ending!

A good book

This is the second book that I listen to of this couple and I liked it very much. It is very up to date flowing well. Narration was excellent

Awesome slow burn story

I really loved this book. The story is well written and delves into many different subjects. More than once I laughed out loud at Lori Prince’s interpretations of the characters. A must read/ listen to!

omggg I loved it!!!

this was the first book that I felt was so relatible! as a Demi myself, I loved the growth of the characters and their love story and I wish there were more storyline with a Demi wlw characters ❤️

One really great character, wonderful narration

i enjoyed this one, but i didn't love it. i was wavering on a rating and almost landed on a 3 star, but i loved the character hope so much that she gets a star all on her own, so, 4 stars but a little bit more in the 3.5/3.75 range, for me.

this was a really fun, if not entirely believable, story. i thought hope and everything that surrounded her arc, her demisexuality, and her falling for joanie was really well done. i really liked kim, joanie's friend, and a therapist helping with the webseries, and honestly i wish we'd gotten to see a little bit more of her. hope's family were fun in the glimpse that we got of them, and joanie's parents made for an interesting and well apprecaited rounding out of the cast. it was joanie's character that i didn't connect with quite as much. attraction and jealousy aren't really things we can help as human beings, they're emotions that kinda just hit us and we have to deal with them, but <i>how</i> we deal with them, we can control, and i didn't love some of joanie's internal monologue and behavior around her feelings for hope all the time. for someone who didn't believe in love, she sure as hell got possesive real fast. some of the ways she talked/thought about hope rubbed me the wrong way a little. hope being a little oblivious and literal didn't make her a child, and joanie going all "protective" often annoyed me. (especially with all the stuff during the dance night and sam). like, again, i get it, emotions are hard and stuff, but her reaction was annoying. this is also possibly a YMMV situation and it might have rubbed me the wrong way more than it will someone else. i did think once she learned about hope's demisexuality, she was really respectful and did a great job checking in with her and stuff, and i certainly didn't hate her as a character, she just wasn't my cup of tea for the most part.

some of the narrative arc around the column and the webseries made me roll my eyes the slightest bit, though it wasn't entirely unbelievable, just a little embellished for the story, i felt. which is fine! i'm not reading romance novels for realism, believe it or not. despite reading a ton of them, and enjoying them, iiiii am kinda more in the Early In the Book Joanie's view on love and relationships, tbh. my parents own relationship mirrors joanie's in a sense, except it's not cute or sweet, it's kind of a bummer, actually. so i'm cool with the fantasy of it all. that's actually what i'm here for lol.

hope was such a delight that i'd recomend this for her alone, but i genuinely think this is a fun sweet one and i love that there is more asexuality representation happening in romance lately. i'd love to see even more. characters like hope are really needed, and really appreciated. she made this novel, for me.

Slow to start but good finish!

I enjoyed this book, thoroughly. it does start slow, but I tend to like slower burn romances.

Great combination of authors and narrator!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and it kept me engaged the whole time. Characters were very likeable and the narrator was great at voicing them. Lots of LOL moments and totally empathy for Hope. I love how it all came together. just cute and feel good! Loved it. I love Lori narrating too! She just gets better and better!

amazing

I love books that don't have that awful split between the main characters. like a huge event that causes a breakup. I love Lori Prince narrations. and the material itself was delightful. this audiobook is going into my would recommend list.

Sweet story with amazing narration

I really enjoyed this story. I liked that it was both funny and had some heartfelt moments. Joni and Hope are perfect together. I wanted to hug Hope many times😀. The authors did a great job with her character and the narration brought this great story to life! Highly recommend!
