Audiobook and ebook Review: The Way of Us (Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers # 5) by Claudia Burgoa

 

Blurb: 

USA Today Bestselling Author Claudia Burgoa delivers an emotional, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers, fake relationship, accidental pregnancy romance you don’t want to miss.

Sometimes you have to stop planning and live in the moment.

What do you do when your grandma wants to set you up on a date?

You fake it. Simple.

At least, that’s what I thought ten years ago.

It was a little lie: I’m dating Heathcliff Spearman.

Tall, dark, and incredibly handsome Heath Spearman.

My best friend.

I never thought things would get out of hand.

But things snowballed, and my grandparents think he’s my fiancé.

Oops!

They say some moments can change your life forever. Five happened to me in less than two months.

1. My grandparents threaten to visit me.

2. Heath offers to play the role of my fake fiancé.

3. We kiss—the kind of kiss that takes your breath away.

4. The lines between us blur. We go from friends to friends-with-benefits.

5. The word positive appears on the pregnancy test.

I’m positively screwed.

Have I mentioned Heath doesn’t want children or a family?

Oh, and of course, my grandparents caught the lie…

What am I supposed to do now?

The Way of Us is an interconnected standalone in the Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series. A beautiful and heartfelt story of a strong woman who never gave up on family and love. A man who’s determined to rescue and defend her.

This is a redeeming love story that’ll have readers holding their breath until the very last page.

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars, both book and audiobook. This story had a lot of feels and emotions for me. I loved Atzi and her strength as she learned how to live and allow herself to love. The last few chapters had me close to tears with the culmination of events. Heath fought his feelings so that he would not lose his best friend. He almost had enough but could not quite give up. I enjoyed all the family and friends supporting them. I recommend this story as well as the series.

The narration on the audiobook by Joe Arden and Janine Granda helped me feel more along with Atzi and Heath. They put plenty of emotion into their reading. Well worth listening too.

I received an ARC, and this is my unsolicited review.
