Indigo: Blues

Indigo B&B, Book 1

By: Adrian J. Smith

Narrated by: Quinn Riley

Anxiety ridden Sarah finds more than she bargained for in a no-nonsense rancher and baby cow.

Taking her best friend's advice, Sarah travels to Indigo B&B to distract herself from her upcoming tour. Instead, she comes face-to-face with Indigo's ruggedly alluring owner, Eli. The vision of strength and confidence, Eli evokes Sarah's envy as well as an undeniable attraction. Sarah wonders if there is more beneath Eli's façade and how deep both their demons go.

Eli wants nothing more than to fit into her tiny hometown. When singer-songwriter Sadie Bade shows up for two weeks at her new B&B, Eli fights her attraction, playing it off as star struck. As the days wear on, and Eli learns more about the enigmatic Sarah, she finds it impossible to keep up the pretense. But when her ex-girlfriend hints at getting back together, Eli is left with an equally impossible choice . . . what will she give up for Sarah?

Good story, slightly disappointing telling of it.

Good story line and buildup and the narrator does an awesome job . My only complaint is lack of detail. This story rushes through things and jumps forward in time often. It would have been nice to get in on some more juicy details. There’s mention throughout the book of life changing songs and lyrics yet they are never shared. Feels like the author had a great idea for a good story and then rushed through the execution.

Sweet and Cold

Eli was cold and sweet to Sarah, which for Sarah was confusing for the 1st week. The sweet was because she liked Sarah too much, but knowing who she was, she was cold at times trying to keep attraction at bay knowing they could never be.

The ending left me wanting more, to know how things could or would work out with them.

Great book

I really enjoyed this listen. I wish it had been a little longer, as I love thoroughly drawn out angst. But I’ll be looking for more from the series.
Quinn Riley nailed it, as always!

one hell of a slow burn, so worth it..

simply in love with the storytelling, the narrator, the author and characters. I wish there story was longer. to really see how they worked it all out... definitely worth the listen 10/10 overall

Anticipation, Frustration, Exhalation

This book extracts many emotions. Written by Adrian J. Smith who apparently knows the state with a billion stars. The night sky takes your breath way. And speaking of stars, this book is a star in itself. After listening to it, I'm exhausted Finally, Eli! You are just going to have to buy it to understand why Eli wore me out. Good ending, good story. Love you, Buddy.
