False Start

The Park Brothers, Book 3

By: Katherine E. Webb

Narrated by: Aure Nash, Nick Martineau

Cory

When it comes to weddings, I know the drill. Wear a tux. Make a toast. Maybe sleep with a bridesmaid. Only this time, the bridesmaids are off-limits. Not only because it's my brother's wedding and I'm likely to see these women again, but also because, thanks to a bonehead comment to my soon-to-be sister-in-law, they all think I'm a jerk. Oh well. If I'm not getting lucky, I may as well get drunk.

Denise

Being a bridesmaid for my best girlfriend was a no-brainer. Without my advice, there might not have been a wedding. But now it's the morning after, my head is pounding, and I'm in bed with none other than the brother whose hurtful words almost made my girl call the whole thing off. Sure, he's hot as sin, but sleeping with the enemy is a major party foul. Thank God neither of us can remember. And it'll never happen again....

Thrown together by too much alcohol and undeniable sexual chemistry, Cory and Denise navigate their emotional baggage to discover whether a false start can still lead to a happy ending.

The female narrator made this book almost unlistenable

From the weird gasps and deep breaths before each sentence to the overbearing audible version of a black female stereotype there was absolutely nothing charming about the female narrator’s performance. I enjoyed the story but I ended up not being able to finish this because she was over the top every sentence in a way that distracted you from the plot. I’ve recently gotten into this author which is what made me get the audiobook but please pick a new female narrator for your next books. The woman is unbearable to listen to. It’s good to show emotion when reading but there is a such thing as dramatic and over the top rather than showing real emotion. I will be avoiding anything with this narrator in the future.

Lemme holla at ya, Denise!

Holla holla holla! I am infatuated with the FMC. She’s really sexy.

Another great entry in The Park Brothers series, though the dynamic between Maya and Denise had me screaming at my phone.

Aurie Nash made this book

This was my favorite one of all of the Audible Park Brothers books. Aurie was just too animated and I loved it. Denise was something. I like that she was complicated. Nick did a good job, too. He made Cory into a decent guy.

Too cute

Loved it all, the story, characters and twist! This was adorable and sexy. I can’t wait to read about the next brother.

I love the trilogy, but didn't care for Denise or Cory

I truly enjoyed the first 2 books so far. Maya is a sweet person and Camilla is a boss. I couldn't stop listening to their stories because they were incredibly likable. However, Denise was beyond disappointing. She isn't a good friend, and it isn't just because she hooked up with the person that made her friend feel awful. She seems to be jealous and a bad friend over all. I still disliked how she treated Maya in the first book. And in this one, anytime she wasn't the center of attention she felt the need to make things about herself. She seemed to get a genuine thrill out of sneaking around with Cory even though she knew he hurt her friend. And Cory, he is just as bad. He's definitely jealous of his brothers and extremely insecure. When he was describing Maya in this book, it was giving a hateful prick vibe. He called her "subjectivity beautiful" and there was definitely still a tone of throwing shade. Denise and Cory deserve each other and I wouldn't be surprised if they both cheat on each other in the future books. Their connection didn't seem genuine. It felt like two selfish people getting together for attention. I can't wait for the next 2 books because this one was disappointing.
