It's no secret that I adore Laurelin Paige's writing and this book doesn't disappoint. It is a sweet, feel-good story. I love a second chance romance, especially one like this, which is sweet and sexy. I really liked the movie aspect of this story, there is something about that trope that calls to me... maybe because it's so different to the lives we lead. This book had me swooning, and laughing, it was so good. The cover is insert heart eyes I just adore it. It fits the story perfectly. And, of course, I love that it includes the names of the narrators.
I loved these characters so much. I adored Walter, I feel like we need to give him and Rodger a story - pretty please! Tanner was all the things. I loved his sexy movie star self, but also the way he was when it was just him and Jenna. The way he encouraged her, and put her first, even when she didn't know in - swoon! Jenna was such a sweetheart, I so wanted to go hang out with her. She had her insecurities that made perfect sense to me, her relationship with Walter was such a delight.
I loved the relationship between Tanner (swoon) and Jenna. It was super sexy... melt your kindle sexy... I mean, it is a LP book after all, it's to be expected. I loved that we got to see both of their PoVs and how they were dealing with seeing each other again after so long. Finding out that they'd never really gotten over one another and how that came to be. Both of them were pretty insecure but that made sense. Especially when the reason for the break-up is revealed. I loved that the love was always there and once they were together again they just couldn't resist. The sex scenes were super hot, (see comment above about melting kindles) and fit well with the story and the timing of it.
Erin Mallon is always at the top of her game. I loved her performance. She nailed the different accents and I just love how she makes each character sound so unique. I've not heard anything by Rupert Channing and I have to admit it took a while for me to get used to his narration. The accents threw me. The Australian sounded rather British in parts and the American just didn't sound right, but that's just personal taste and nothing against the performer. The confrontation scene towards the end was probably my favourite, it felt like he put a lot of emotion into the performance. The production had no issues that I noted.
