First and Tension

Summersweet Island Series, Book 4

By: Tara Sivec

Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Tim Paige

Emily Flanagan has been living her dreams the last four years as a professional cheerleader for the Los Angeles Vipers, thousands of miles away from her tiny hometown of Summersweet Island, Virginia. She's got the world at the tips of her pom-poms...until she tells her boss to shove those pom-poms where the sun doesn't shine.

After spending her last night in California with her crush, Emily flies back home to Summersweet, resigned to run her parents' business, never to be heard from again. Besides, there's no use crying over a man who lives on the other side of the country, who she'll never see again.

Quinn Bagley is finally playing for a team that feels like a family, after years of playing with nothing but egos. What he's not happy about is that the woman who rocked his world turned out to be like every other crazy redhead he's encountered, wanting to use him for something. He just wants her to admit it was a game.

Except Emily Flanagan isn't the hotheaded, rude woman he thought. She's sweet, sexy, and fun. She makes him feel normal, she makes him laugh, and she makes him want more.

He's going to win her heart, even if he has to do it in overtime.

Contains mature themes.

Great story

Tara Sivec has always been a hilarious author and this book proves it. The characters were believable and funny as hell. The storylinenwas entertaining and it wasn't easy to tell what would happened next. Emily was a strong red head who knew she had cheerleader talent, but doubted herself due to her mother. Quinn was a FB player with a lot of bad dating history which led to not trusting women. His manager was a money hungry douch bag and her ex boss in CA was a power hungry monster. They both got what they deserved. The nnarrators made this story even better.

loved it

I really loved this audiobook. I just love these characters and the humor in each book. Tara Sivec is hilarious. I love that when Quinn messed up he was great at apologizing. The narrators were awesome!

Sweet

Just another Summer Sweet Island book. Not as good as the first two. They aren’t full of angst and are what I like to think of ‘easy listening’. Tim was great, just didn’t have enough chapters and as someone very male narrator driven, it took away from the score. Love Kelsey, she shined in this because she acted most of it.
