He voiced each character so amazingly and uniquely, that I had zero problems figuring out who was speaking. I have to say, that I was totally blown away by Jason Clarke's performance. I've listened to quite a few audiobooks with Erin Mallon, but this was the first time listening to Jason Clarke in more than a small supporting role. Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke were AMAZING! I loved their narration and both were able to do male and female voices so convincingly. I'm a little wary since Joel is quite the manwhore, but I'm excited that his book is next. ) The secondary characters were just as fun, especially Vanessa and Joel. I did want to throat punch Wes a time or two towards the end, but he did do some pretty good groveling to make up for it. There are some bumps along the way as they struggle with the depth of their feelings, as well as trouble with a horrible ex and changes in their future game plans, but overall the angst level was pretty low. Their personalities were such a complement to the other and I loved how they were the light to the others dark. Wes is this ornery and grumpy guy, while Blair is a burst of sunshine. They had such great banter and back and forth. There's definitely an attraction from the start, but they develop a true connection and really get to know each other through the course of the book. I really enjoyed the gradual build up between Wes and Blair. Overall 4.5 stars Performance 5+ stars Story 4 stars This book surprised me in the best way! I loved the author's twist on the typical sports romance/tutor trope! It was so refreshing to have the hero be the tutor and not just this over the top, big man on campus jock. Fantastic Twist on the Typical Sports Romance!
