Treasure

De: Rebekah Weatherspoon

Narrado por: Keira Grace

Her sister's bachelorette party is the highlight of a miserable year for Alexis Chambers, but once her bridesmaid's dress is packed away, she's back to coping with her life as a once popular athlete and violinist turned loner and the focus of her parents' disappointment. She isn't expecting much from her freshman year of college until she finds herself sharing a class with Treasure, the gorgeous stripper from her sister's party.

Trisha Hamilton has finally gotten the credits and the money together to transfer to a four-year university. Between classes, studying, and her job as a stripper, she has little time for a social life, until she runs into the adorably shy baby butch from the club. Trisha can't seem to hide her feelings for Alexis, even when Trisha discovers what she has been through, but will Alexis have the strength to be just as fearless about their new love?

Treasure

First book from this author, and I really enjoyed it. I felt the connection between the characters and thought their interactions were really cute. The writing was good, and I didn't feel any lulls throughout the story. 4.5/5⭐️ - but only because I wanted more of Alexis and Trisha! 🥰❤️

A good read if you're looking for something short and sweet.

Wanted a bit more on page time!

I wish this was a bit longer to be fleshed out a bit more after the big conflict.

New adult, college, instalove, strip club first meet, dealing with parents and figuring out your identity, 18 & 20 year olds. This felt like a hopeful college romance between to women that have been through it. I feel like it would have been a HFN rather than HEA just based on them both having so much more life to live and things to figure out.

One MC has that "perfectionism" immediate family with very successful parents, not meeting expectations, homophobic dad, and working through a past unaliving attempt.

The other MC has her own struggles with stripping to help support her mom and god kids, getting her GED, and wanting to have a stable career.

Again, maybe 20-50k more words may have wrapped this up a bit better!

Great story, terrible narration

I read an audible original by this author and fell in love with her writing style. I really enjoyed this book and the main character's growth.

The narration was often distracting. It was stilted and didn't match the characters. I had to work hard to separate the voice from the content. I listen to a LOT of audiobooks and I can't say I've had that experience before.
