The Rebound Pact

By: Eliza Knight

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers

After college, Gabrielle Dane makes one terrific mistake. Thinking she's sneaking into her crush's bedroom at an all-night college party, she ends up sleeping with her older brother's best friend. It's only when the sun comes up that she recognizes Holden Bellamy. Mortified, Gabrielle leaves to train with a renowned chef in France, vowing never to return to her hometown and the awkwardness of her one-night stand mix-up. But several years later, she finds herself doing just that, and she runs smack into the delicious man who makes her catch her breath.

Holden Bellamy, owner of Belle Ami, a critically acclaimed vineyard, has always had a thing for his best friend's little sister . . . even if she was off-limits. Waking up to her in the morning several years back was a remarkable surprise, one that crashed and burned when she left town without a word. Now he's face-to -face with the woman he never stopped wondering about.

The attraction between Gabrielle and Holden still sizzles, even after all these years. But having just experienced serious breakups, neither one is ready to start again. Instead, they make a rebound pact. Casual sex, no strings attached - and rule #1? Don't fall in love. Problem is, with each scorching encounter, Gabrielle and Holden find themselves falling hard and fast.

Beyond Predictable but Cute.

If you've read the book's summary than you know the whole story and can easily predict how it ends. But it was cute and worth reading for those who want a light romance with some steamy love scenes.

Cute... light winery smex

Cute, light read/listen. A lot of smex at a winery... but eh! It's been done before... Story was good.. but nothing really stood out. Worth a listen, just don't expect a WoW story...

Eliza Knight has done it again!

Loved it! Eliza Knight knows how to write a great love story!! I’m a huge wine connoisseur, so this was right up my alley!!

Regarding the narration, Lucy Rivers has a wonderful voice for the female parts with her vocal range emitting the various emotions. I was not a fan of her rendition of the male’s voices, though. It sounds like the men have a head cold.

The Story Needs A Sequel

I loved the story just wished it was longer and had a part 2. Part 2 maybe about the Brother love life in France and picking up with them around their time to get married

Very slow

The storyline is really slow and not up to par with Eliza’s other novels. The voice of one the main characters, Holden, is cringeworthy. The narrator’s voice made him sound like a slow, dumb jock. It was very hard to listen to.
