Loving Romeo

Magnolia Falls Series, Book 1

By: Laura Pavlov

Narrated by: Samantha Brentmoor, Connor Crais

From USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Author Laura Pavlov, comes a new Small Town, Enemies to Lovers, Standalone Sports Romance in the brand new Magnolia Falls Series.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty.

I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks.

She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious.

We couldn’t be more different.

Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association.

I despised her before I even knew her.

It was easier that way.

But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned.

I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried.

She was beautiful and honest and sweet.

Everything I knew I shouldn’t want.

Shouldn’t need.

They say there’s a fine line between love and hate—and I don’t know when I crossed over.

I was so wrapped up in this girl I couldn’t see straight.

She was the right hook I never saw coming.

Hating her was supposed to be my end game.

Loving her… well, that was just the beginning.

But the secrets that lived between us threatened to tear us apart.

Lucky for her—I was a born fighter.

And she was definitely worth the fight.

I love Demi & Romeo. My first boxer 🥊 romance & 😍 I loved it ! I really enjoyed the drama kept me on my toes and wanting to know more. Spice was good but plot was even better!!

Thank you to Valentine PR for an ALC of this audiobook - all opinions are my own!

Exceptional narrations. Beautiful story!

Small town boxer from the wrong side of the tracks falls for the rich “town princess” - book 1 in the Magnolia Falls series is a delicious enemies to lovers, forbidden, opposites attract, small town love story. A stunning beginning to a new series - I can’t wait for more!

It was an okay story.

This book was an easy, sweet read, but I like my books with more angst and conflict. The reason for the fight seemed flimsy. Why would a professional boxer want to fight a nobody who hadn’t fought for years?

So good!

Amazing story! The evolution… i felt like i was watching a boxing match! The narrators did an amazing job!
