Love Beyond Words

City Lights Book 1 - San Francisco

By: Emma Scott

Narrated by: Mia Madison

She thought the best love affairs only happened in books....

Traumatized by the deaths of her parents three years ago, Natalie Hewitt lives an introverted life, taking college classes during the day and working as a barista in a coffee shop at night. A passionate reader, she uses the writing of the world-famous and reclusive novelist Rafael Melendez Mendon to assuage her grief. His words are the only refuge from her pain, and she is certain his characters are better company than anyone she could meet in real life.

Julian Kovac is a millionaire and a recluse. He lives a life of self-imposed seclusion in order to protect a secret and honor his dying mother's last wish. He walks into Natalie's cafe one summer evening, and both of their lives are forever altered by the intense, slow-burn love that blooms between them.

But Julian's secret is both the most wonderful revelation Natalie could possibly imagine...and the very thing that could tear them apart.

Contains mature themes.

Great story and plot!

Last 10 chapters were like nerve racking- I couldn’t stop listening!!!!! It is a good story and plot!

Great Listen/Read

I have not enjoyed a book as much as this in a long time. It surprised me and had me on the edge many times.

The exquisite love between them.

It was very interesting to watch the love develop between them. The convoluted relationship between Julian and David added a lot of intrigue to the story.

It could have been great rather than mediocre

The story idea was decent, and it could have been great. The female lead character was written as weak, unintelligent and naive. The male lead could have been good, but was also written to be weak and lacking intelligence. Absolutely zero spice.. talk about NO chemistry with these 2 characters, and the so called “romance/spicy” scenes could not even be called Luke warm. I only finished it because I had invested so much time. I would not recommend. Oh and as a Spanish speaker I can tell
You some of the Spanish translation is off and the pronunciation is barely understood. I listened for free and it still cost me my time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything and more

Perfect romance-to-storyline ratio and SO much build up to romance, but well worth the wait!
