Don't Make Me Beg

Ashford Falls Series, Book 2

De: Jeré Anthony

Narrado por: JF Harding, Samantha Brentmoor

She was my best friend… Until she ruined my life.

I’ve spent the last eight years patiently plotting my revenge.

Now she’s back in town, and so desperate she’s willing to do anything…Even if it means marrying the person who hates her the most.

Scout Sinclair is the town princess, the quintessential good girl in every sense of the word, who’s never broken a rule in her life.

And I’m the tattooed, bad boy with a criminal history. Some may even call me a screw-up, not that I care. Life’s easier when no one expects much from you.

There was a time when I’d have done anything for her… even taking the fall for a crime I didn’t commit…And what did that get me?

Three years in prison, while she walked away with her spotless good-girl reputation intact.

I’ve been waiting for a chance to ruin her life the same way she ruined mine.

And now she’s back in town, desperate for my help… so desperate that she even agreed to marry me.

Everything was going according to plan until I realized one epic oversight.

Maybe love and hate are closer emotions than I thought?

Suddenly, I’m remembering why I was so quick to protect her before.

I’m afraid I just may be falling in love with my wife… again.

Don't Make Me Beg is a laugh-out-loud, scorching hot romantic comedy set in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains, and the second book in the Ashford Falls Series. All books can be read as standalone novels.

Beautiful Story

I completely enjoyed reading & listening to Luca and Scout's story. I was so excited when this came on audible!
Luca is truly a man after my own heart. His love and devotion to and for Scout is breathtaking. Even though some things he did was out of revenge, ultimately it was all for her and to see her smile and be herself.
Seeing Scout break out of her shell and become the woman she was meant to be after all her parents have forced her through was so heart warming. Also getting to see the brotherly love between all of the Kingsly brothers including Leo but mostly Jett! You can feel the love there and the want for Luca to be the best he can be. Hope Jett gets his own book! I need to know more!

Without giving Spoilers her father got exactly what he deserved and that Jimmy!

Also I absolutely love L.O.K.I and that he helped Scout, as long as she watched the Avenger movies with him of course.

oh my word Luca

cute story. great narration.
my favorite of this series so far! Luca with his dirty mouth is just yum. i love how he helped Scout find her strength and I just love the best friends to lovers bit in the story.
p.s. L.O.K.I. is hilarious 😂

My new favorite author

I loved everything about this audiobook. The narration was excellent, the story was funny and sweet. The spice was SPICY. I want to listen to the next one. I hope it comes out soon.

Don't Make Me Beg Review

I needed a palate cleanser to recover from having my heart ripped out by my last book and a romcom with narrated by Samantha Brentmoor hit the spot perfectly 🥰

LOKI has got to my favorite side non-character character 😂 (Sorry Fred 🐈‍⬛ you’ve been dethroned lol) I initially thought LOKI was going to have Smart House vibe…but LOKI is more like JARVIS + Vision, but make it sassy 😂
