People We Avoid

Don't Date Him, Book 2

De: Lani Lynn Vale

Narrado por: Angelina Rocca, Aiden Snow

All Birdee Calvert wanted was to be normal.

She wanted the parents who didn’t divorce when she was a kid and make her life a living nightmare. She wanted the sisters who actually liked her. She wanted to live in a town where everyone loved her and didn’t have a single bad thing to say about her.

That was not the life Birdee was given.

She had the exact opposite life. The kind of life where she slunk through the grocery store with a hoodie on so no one would recognize her. The kind of life where men like Creed Daugherty didn’t give her a second look.

After years of abuse and heartache, she built walls. Big, huge, thick ones that no one could ever breach. If she didn’t put forth the effort to get to know someone, she couldn’t be hurt.

At least, that was the theory.

She never counted on Creed Daugherty hitting her with his truck. Then, deciding that once he entered her life, he would never leave it.

Though Birdee should’ve known that Creed was too good to be true.

All it takes is one mistake on her part, and Creed freezes her out. Then forces the rest of the town to make it almost impossible for her to live in Sawtooth, Montana, anymore.

Birdee only thought it couldn’t get worse.

But Creed makes sure to show her that it can and will.

The thing about rock bottom?

Once you’re there, you have nothing else to lose.

And Creed Daugherty just made himself enemy number one.

Worth Every Penny… Even Twice 😩🔥

She did it AGAIN. This author never disappoints me—like at this point, it’s expected that I’m about to be locked in from beginning to end. And this book? Another hit. Period.

The story pulls you in emotionally, and the characters had me feeling everything. That’s one thing I love about her writing—she makes you *feel* the story, not just read it. It’s messy, dramatic, emotional… all the things that make a romance worth it.

Now let me be real for a second 😂
The ONLY thing I didn’t love? I had to pay twice—once for the book and again for Audible 🤔😁

But honestly… it was SO worth it.

If you’re already a fan of Lani Lynn Vale, you already know what time it is. And if you’re not? This book is a solid reminder of why she stays delivering.

Creed and Birdie

A riveting, emotional, heartbreaking but beautifully romantic story that had me enthralled from beginning to end. Creed was the perfect person for Birdie. I honestly did not think I would like her because of how she was perceived in the first book. My heart absolutely broke for her but with Creed on her side, she can get through anything. I loved, adored and enjoyed everything about this fantastic adventure.

Loved it!

What a great addition to the Don’t Date Him series! This one hooked me in right away! I didn’t want to put it down!

This author creates worlds that you feel like you become a part of. That you are watching the characters lives unfold in real time. This book was no exception.

I loved Birdie and Creed. Their story played out like a movie in my mind. I think part of the reason their story was so vivid for me was because I listened to the audio while I read. The narrators were so good. Brought so much depth and dimension to all the characters. They really helped me feel all the things!

So if you’re in the mood for a small town, secret identity, forced proximity, grumpy/sunshine, suspenseful romance look no further!

The pain Birdie experienced before he showed her loving kindness…

The way he cared for Birdie. I love how his friend’s was happy to start talking to her again. To know both of her bio parent’s were horrible, but she had others who loved her. I can’t wait to listen to your next book in this series.

Sincerely,

Great audiobook as always! However, as much as I love all of LLV’s audiobooks, I will not be getting the next because Tor Tom is male narrator and I just do not like his voice…it just ruins the book for me!
