It was all background noise, until he made her stop and listen. Sit still for a moment. Close your eyes. Listen. Just listen. What do you hear? When I do that, I hear … fuzz. Okay, not really fuzz, but it’s hard to explain what I hear. Put your hands over your ears. Hear that? That’s kind of like what I hear, but not really …Being deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other sucks. People … ear and partially deaf in the other sucks. People think I’m dumb. I’m not dumb. I just can’t hear you. I’ve worked out however, people thinking you’re dumb actually works to your advantage. When people think you’re dumb, they don’t expect anything from you. And when they don’t expect anything from you, you don’t have to engage with them. I’m okay with that.
So why the hell is my sister’s boyfriend’s cousin, an annoying Australian named Caden, so adamant he wants to talk to me? I can’t work out if he’s laughing at me, or if he can see what I can see … the world is worth laughing at. What kind of name is Caden any way?
I also can’t work out why, for the first time ever, I wish I could truly hear the way normal people do. Surely it has nothing to do with the fact I wonder what his heart would sound like beating in his chest if I lay my head on it. I can’t work it out and I don’t like it.
Damn it.

Really enjoyed this heartwarming, sexy, fun and action packed journey filled with engaging charters, witty banter, heart racing twists and undeniable passion. Was a excellent and highly entertaining read.
The storyline was great and the characters were very likable, believable and engaging! The chemistry between Chase and Caden was so HOT that I couldn’t stop turning the pages until the very last page was turned!
This was such an enjoyable read! Lexxie Couper is on my must read list. I loved Chase! She was her own woman and not even her impaired hearing would stop her. Caden what can I say. Sexy Australian! Romance, little drama, sexiness, and as always an HEA!
Chase lives in San Diego and is hearing impaired. She has her heart ripped out and stomped on when the guy she was with used her defect to break up. She left college due to this and never went back. She does not like to be treated like she is unable to take care of herself. Caden lives is Australia and is top of his class in college. He is studying to become a Veterinarian and spends his weekends at RSPCA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). He is also an intern for a celebrity veterinarian in Australia. These two have sizzling hot chemistry and drive each other crazy. The storyline was entertaining, the characters intriguing and the storyline was well written.

I was really interested by the storyline who was looking somewhat different. But that it spoiled with the characters, specially chase who is so hung up with her daddy issues that make her characters really annoying.

I really like the story line in this book. It is entirely so unique. It is filled with passion and chemistry. It is filled with hope and love and family. Chase and Caden are both great characters as are the secondary players, Amanda and Brenden and mom and dad and of course Tanner. The health and welfare issues are felt deeply and are dealt with in compassionate and realistic manners. The writing is very good. The story moves logically and easily. This is a very enjoyable book.

Undeniable is book 3 in the Always series, but it can be read as a stand alone quite easily. In Undeniable we have Chase (Amanda from Unforgettable’s sister) and Caden’s story. I loved Chase in the last book and was so excited to read that this one was going to be about her. According to Chase she is defective as she is deaf – she is amazing at lip reading, and signing and generally I think she would she be an amazing best friend.
One thing she isn’t good at is relationships, and try as she might she can’t get Caden to take the hint that she isn’t interested seeing as he will be heading back to Australia soon. So why get involved only have her heart broken right?
Caden doesn’t see it that way, he is making trips to visit his cousin Brendan who just so happens to be Chase’s brother in law, they are usually short trips but this time he is visiting for three whole weeks. Could this be the time to make his move on Chase?
I loved their story and how fiercely independent Chase was at not needing someone to protect her, yet Chase didnt necessarily want to protect her for her disability he wanted to protect her because he loved her, it just took her a while to realise that.
5 stars for this one!
Such an amazing and undeniably alluring read, where the story flow is captivating and characters have such depth and exciting chemistry. Chase and Caden’s story was real and heartfelt.

Book three in the Always series what a story! It is well written with a great storyline the story flowed smoothly across the pages. American Chase/Chastity Sinclair is hearing impaired she meets Australian Caden/Cade O’Dae. They will have a lot to overcome before they can be together. There is a Father that has a hard time of expressing himself an ex to deal with, and the distance between them. A great story I enjoyed reading, I hope there is more to come in this series.

This is book three in the Always Series. Chase and Caden had met and interacted in book two while her nephew was hospitalized. In this book, many of Chase’s problems with her hearing handicap are addressed. Communication is a huge deal in any relationship, but more so when both hearing and speaking are hampered. I enjoyed the story and chemistry between these two and strong characters throughout the book. Great read!

Aussies, puppies, and lip reading.
This was a great read.
Chase is hearing impaired, reads lips but still thinks she’s defective.
Caden is the hot Aussie who rescues abandoned dogs who really hears her, in the best ways. But he’s leaving, right?
I like books that have people dealing with impairments.
