Going Under

By: Georgia Cates

Narrated by: Merrit Hicks, Adam Saunders

Jessie Boone is a self proclaimed bad boy and doesn’t march to the beat of anyone’s drum, but his own. Growing up in less than desirable circumstances has made him no stranger to the hard knock life and his determination to leave it behind is fierce. When he finds himself transferred to East Franklin High School, he sees his opportunity to use his athletic ability to snag a college football scholarship, but Forbes Henderson, the player Jessie means to replace isn’t giving up his spot willingly.

In fact, Forbes is willing to go to extreme measures to retain his place as first string quarterback. When Forbes’ malicious plan to injure his replacement fails, Jessie is furious and determined to show him he messed with the wrong person; not only is he going to take the position of first string quarterback, he’s going to take his girl, too. Claire Deveraux is perfection at it’s best.

She is beautiful, intelligent and unaware she just became Jessie Boone’s conquest as revenge against her boyfriend, Forbes Henderson. Like her flawless performance as the perfect daughter and student, Claire’s production of being the perfect girlfriend has everyone fooled, except Jessie Boone, and she fears this tattooed bad boy will see her secret desire to explore his crude threats and promises to rock her perfect world. If she decides to give in to one uninhibited moment with Jessie, will she learn too late that it was all an act of vengeance or will Jessie learn the taste of first love is sweeter than that of revenge?

Loved it

This was a good story and sex was not the main theme. I loved both readers and they did an excellent job. Highly recommend

HS romance

Super low on 🔥scale but cute hs romance. Took star away for the cheating and the dragging along of Jesse. Also, made it through but the narrator for female had a lisp that was tough to overhear and wasn’t upbeat as I would like. Male voices were spot on though.

Overall: Good with some minor suggestions

I enjoyed this story- I think the description for it is slightly misleading. I mean it gets the general idea but whoever wrote the summary it seems didn't read past the first 5 chapters.

I liked their relationship, it was cute and innocent until it wasn't. (btw if anyone is looking for sauce then this is not it) this book is sweet- not spicy.

The ONLY small critiques I have for the story, is that I wish I would have gotten more of a closure moment between Jessie and his Grandma.
I also would have liked the epilogue to be about them going to college together and maybe getting married. Just a personal preference but I kind of dislike how most romances end with a baby.
I am def going to read Peyton's story in book 2. I liked her humor in this one and I'm excited to see what Georgia Cates has in store for her.

Good book/ so-so female narrator

I really enjoyed this book but the female narrator’s voice was much too mature for a 17 yr old girl. The narrator sounded like she was 40+ yrs old which made it a little weird.

This is a book I read over and over.

Sometimes when you've read a book so many times, it becomes like a movie in your head. My opinion is that is why books are always better than the movie. I thought the audio version might feel the same way. I was relieved to be wrong. It was perfect. I was left grinning and happy sighing.
