The Summer Games: Settling the Score

Summer Games, Book 1

By: R.S. Grey

Narrated by: Amanda Dolan, Shaun Grindell

As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true: The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs....

The committee passes out condoms like candy....

The games continue long after the medals have been handed out. As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent - too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain. It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there-shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs".

Contains mature themes.

awesome book

this book was really good. I can't wait to read more books from this author.

Overall pretty good

It was included in the plus catalog just fyi. I had to hit the forward button some. Likable characters, very predictable.

Love this Story

I fell in love with this book when I initially read it following its release. With the recent release of Georgie's story, A Place in the Sun, I wanted to revisit my favorite olympians and did so via audiobook. I still love this story. Overall, I think the narrators did a fine job. I was slightly annoyed by the long pauses that Amanda Dolan occasionally would interject into her narrative which didn't seem to fit the flow of the story- whether is was an editing snafu or not I don't know.

Crazy Betrothed

I really enjoyed Andie and Freddy's story. I get that she was young and inexperienced in relationships, but there is no way I would have gotten involved with a guy who was 'betrothed' without telling him to get his house in order and then call me. But that's just me. LOVED LOVED LOVED Freddy's sister Georgie. She was a total and complete hoot.

The only reason I'm not giving this a full 5 stars is because it got a little slow in the middle for me. I found myself skimming things until it got to the place that Freddy's crazy betrothed, Caroline and his sister Georgie arrived.

I'm also not the biggest fan of the male narrator. I find his voice a little off-putting. Takes me out of the story a bit. I've heard him before and I kinda groaned when I realized it was him. But not enough for me not to continue with the series.

NOPE!

I tried this book twice, couldn't really hold my attention. I like the female narration, very animated. But, male narration was just ok. The storyline not very interesting. Can't believe book 1 was rated higher than book 2. 😕
