Great start to a new series!
I NEED the rest of this series in audio, and I need it NOW!
This is the 1st book in the Endgame Series.
Story
Saylor Lewis wants to make her own way in life so as not to be beholding to anyone. This all stems from childhood issues. The grudges she holds have followed her since age 13. Away at college and living in a shared condo, her resolve is put to the test when she meets the neighbors!
Deacon Douglas has her at hello! Although she has him just as hard. Deacon and the his roommates grew up with the girls so they make a little family that tries to welcome in Saylor no matter how much she tries to resist.
Love and heat ensues, followed by misunderstandings and misplaced loyalties. I know she is going to be a future heroine and probably has good reasons for being a twat nugget, but for this book I really want to punch Emberlee in the throat, face, lady balls, take your pick!
I can’t really say more without giving away stuff that is just too good to spoil. Just read/listen to it!
Author
This is my first read by Leigh Ann Lunsford and I’m hooked! I can’t wait for the rest of this series to come to audio!
Narrator(s)
Logan McAllister in one word, Yum!
Makes Deacon and all the boys sound delicious.
Plus, he does all the ladies just as good.
(Does that sound dirty, or is it just me?)

This is a new to me author. Wow, I am so pleasantly surprised how much I loved this book. Logan does a great job narrating this one as well. It has been a minute where a book has me giggling like a silly girl but the banter and humor in this was hilarious. There is some angst but not too much. Deacon has just been added to my BBF list as he was all that and then some.The side characters were a huge part to this book and it looks to be a series which I will immediately download on the kindle since this is the only one on audio. This is a sure testament to how much I loved the storyline and the characters. It does have a HEA so you could read this as a standalone but I bet once you finish you will want to read about the others in the story like I do. Well done and it won’t be the last book from this author for me.

The rating system is not high enough for this book, nor this author. I worked my ever loving tailbone off reading this story, I felt every emotion ten fold and I literally read this in one sitting. These people in the book had me totally messed up, one minute I was smiling, then I was laughing, then I was ready to kick something and then I’d end up crying. There was one statement in this book that caught me so off guard I swear I spit the water I just drank through my nose….took me 15 minutes to be able to breathe again and set back in to reading.
I want to be adopted into Deacons family, they have to be one of my favorite book families ever and that is also one of my favorite parts of any book is when there is a family feel to the story. Then there’s the bonds of friendship that this author took to a whole new level for me. I loved Saylor, don’t get me wrong but she had me wanting to scream many times in this story but her scenes with Mason redeemed her in my eyes every time, omg they cracked me up.
I could get into the actual storyline but I’m not going to…if you have not read this book trust me when I say this will hit everything you love about reading and I don’t know what to say about this author except that I have many favorites, but when someone asks who my favorite is one always comes to mind first and I’ve read all her books at least twice, well without sounding cheesy I can honestly say that this author will now be at the top, I’ve read many of her books and I know I will read everyone of them again and again.
I could go on and on but I’ll stop here because Brody and Emberlee are waiting for me to start their story…
