Mouth to Mouth

Beach Kingdom, Book 1

By: Tessa Bailey

Narrated by: Kas Vadim, Simone Lewis

A man with a prison record has no place around a fresh faced college student.

Tell that to Rory Prince. He should stay the hell away from Olive Cunningham. There’s one small problem, though. She won’t stop almost getting killed. With this too-smart, too-sweet girl holding his heart in her hands, Rory is powerless to do anything but keep saving her.

Homeschooled from a young age, Olive is now out on her own and discovering the world, one milkshake flavor at a time. Until recently, she has experienced life through books. She’s walked in a million sets of shoes while flipping pages—enough to know that Rory gives her once-in-a-lifetime feelings. If only he would stop trying to protect her…from himself.

Very steamy! 🥵

The story line is good. I struggled a bit with the man who was doing the voice of the female main character. I honestly didn’t care for how he did the male voice either, it threw me off at times while listening to the book.

Love Tessa!

I love everything that Tessa Bailey puts out, so I guess I’m biased. Some I adore him more than others, but this series has been one of my favorites, especially the first book, but there are a lot of references to Jamie and Marcus, and their story is book 2.

Rory and Olive have their own issues and demons, but they are sweet together and because it’s Tessa Bailey there’s lots of dirty talk and hot scenes!

Didn't love the narrators, but the female voice was much better than the males, his female voice is almost painful.

There are some pretty funny moments, some serious heartbreaking sacrifices, brothers who would literally do anything for each other, a sweet summer story!

C

Ok story. Very lengthy sex scene. A bit irritating how lengthy not because I don’t appreciate steamy. To much talking to long to get there. Lost its poignancy. Good narration with the exception of both try New England accents and completed messing it up. Massachusetts ppl drop their R New Yorkers don’t. Make up your mind mixing it for both narrators was a complete hack job. If you don’t have the accent at least bearable it’s a negative to the story not a plus

Love it

I freaking love Rory Prince. He is the epitome of the broken boy hero. Had exterior with a sensitive and fragile interior. I'm just crazy about him. And I love Olive too. Though very mature for her age she still shows her lack of experience at times. and the Chemistry between them is intense and incredible. I thought the voice the male narrator used for Rory was just a little over the top. But I loved how overall narration. And the female narrator was a perfect Olive.

Meh

I love Tessa Bailey but this book just didn’t hit for me. I think it was a little too rushed.
