Audiobook Review: I've Got a Crush on You (Darling Springs #2) by Lauren Blakely, narrators Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais

 

Blurb

My secret workplace romance starts innocently enough at a birthday party.

But when a rowdy partier knocks me into a lake and a sexy stranger comes to my rescue – my night becomes one to remember.

A night so steamy I almost forget why I’ve sworn off men after a failed workplace romance.

Trouble is, the brand new doggy daycare in Darling Springs that I’ve contracted with is owned by none other than my sexy stranger. Thanks, fate.

Sawyer turns out to be a total grump in a tailored suit, no matter how sunshine-y I am. Even when he squeezes that hard body past me as I bring donuts to work. Or when he pretends he’s not roaming his dark eyes over me as I teach Fido to sit, stay and come.

But I’m focusing on my shiny new future—my dog-training business is suddenly the hottest thing in town, thanks to a new actress client. And when I’m roped into a charity dance number, I smell an opportunity, especially when I learn my hot landlord has an alter ego and a fandom.

Turns out Mr. Serious Boss is up for dance lessons.

Then the entire Dirty Dancing experience.

Giving into our chemistry once won’t hurt. Two might be pushing it. By the seventh, it’s undeniable–I’ve got a crush on him too.

This is Chloe and Sawyer's romance. Tropes include: Workplace romance, oops my one-night-stand is my new co-worker, small town rom com, forbidden romance, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, fighting the feelings, quirky side characters, swoony learning-to-dance scenes

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was a story full of humor, heat, secrets, bad pasts, family, friends, and dogs. I found Chloe to be a bit tentative (her past taught her caution), intelligent, but open to feelings. She was wonderful and exceptional in training dogs. Sawyer had his secrets but couldn't stop his attraction to Chloe. I loved how he made sure she knew when he was proud of her, especially with the training. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more in this series.
The narrators, Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais, did a great job with this story. I loved the humor and emotions that their brought forth in the telling. I think I was touched more due to their narration.

I received a copy of this audiobook, and this is my unsolicited review.
