Terrific Story & Narration An Enjoyable Delight!
Just Say Yes (A Friends to Lovers Romance)
Love Drunk Series, Book 3
By: Kristen Luciani
Narrated by: Marcio Catalano
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is well written and well told with interesting storylines that are captivating for start to end. It is my first book written by Kristen Luciani and it will not be my last. The characters are complex and nicely developed, they are realistic and easy to connect with. Both leads, A.J. Morgan and Lisa Embry have their own issues and inner demons. A.J.’s father is a politician with plans to run for President, their father/son relationship is rocky and they do not see eye to eye on many things, especially A.J.’s womanizing and player ways. A.J. is a successful lawyer and businessman, he is taking the elevator down when the power goes out. He is stuck inside with a female who is on the verge of losing it. He does the one thing he knows best, he takes her in his arms and kisses her. Lisa Embry has plenty of phobias and getting stuck in an elevator is now one of them, she freaks out but a gorgeous guy comes to her rescue or does he. She is caught off guard but his antics did work it stopped her from having a full blown panic attack. Lisa works in finance and is great at what she does, but her passion is with music and performing on stage. But in need of a steady income she sticks to her day job and does her music things on the side. AJ is intrigued by Lisa, she is resistant, she starts to give in after he comes to her rescue but she does not trust easy and continues to send him mixed signals but does not give up. A lot goes on in this book, the story is nicely plotted and there is never a dull moment. There is plenty of drama, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, some heartfelt and emotional ones and the start of a great romance. Kristen Luciani, thank you for this terrific story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Marcio Catalano is a fabulous narrator and voice artist. He does a great job bringing the characters to life, giving each their own distinct voice and personality. His portrayal of the characters is spot on, grasping their persona with perfection, sounding just as I pictured them to sound. He captures the characters emotions and projects them into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Than you for this great listen
I have read all the books in the Venture series, I suggest you do as well before this book , it’s not a necessary but you will understand all the couples better. I am so happy to see all the couples back especially James and Jessica from Unlikely Venture they are my favorite and Jessica is Lisa’s best friend so they are mentioned a lot in the book. Lisa is a financial analysis, a club singer, a teacher, and has a relationship phobia , and you will learn why. She is smart and sassy and stubborn, A.J. is a lawyer who also is a relationship No No . They get thrown together over and over and He saves Lisa from an ugly encounter.
I really loved these two and think that this story is my favorite from Kristen Luciani the flow of the story was just perfect for me. I really liked A.J. and how he didn’t give up on Lisa and he let Lisa see the real him.Before in the other Venture books I couldn’t follow all the business talk , but this one was perfect I followed easily and I understood everything. I loved that everyone from previous books made an appearance and we got to catch up and see where how their relationships are doing, like a family reunion. Great read with some amazing chemistry and a few unexpected twists.
