Keeping You Away

This is a second chance romance, although, for this book, there isn't much about the romance, it's more them reestablishing being in each other's lives. I'll admit, I felt this book probably would have worked better for me as one book, had they cut out a lot of the childishness between the characters and had the heroine made smart decisions.

Sometimes, you meet heroines that you fall in love with and sometimes, they drive you crazy. Unfortunately, Gemma is the latter. Her inability to think for herself drove me to distraction. I kept waiting for her to end things in her current relationship and she just didn't, not matter how manipulative or emotionally abusive he was. Then, to make matters worse, she keeps pushing Tyler away when she is clearly still in love with him, and acting jealous when he looks to be moving on. Honestly, both characters were frustrating and acted a lot younger than they were. Which was disappointing because their chemistry was fantastic.

Overall, it was an interesting story and part one of a duet, the cliffhanger was a good one and leaves the listener wondering what is going to happen.

Lia Langola and Tor Thom narrated and did a good job. Although, at times, it felt like the accent was inconsistent. Production-wise, it was fine with the exception of one line that was repeated twice, but I don't know whether that was an audio issue or a book issue.

Note: If cheating isn't your thing, this book probably won't be to your liking.
