Goodbye Paradise (Hello Goodbye, #1)
by
I absolutely love Sarina Bowen, so when I found out that a book I've owned for ages was actually written by an earlier pen name of Sarina, I knew I had to dig it out of my Kindle to read it. But then I saw that Teddy Hamilton narrated the audiobook, and I knew I had to have it.
Honestly, I knew before I even started Goodbye Paradise that I would love it. It's just my kind of story, and Sarina Bowen writing M/M is pretty much a sure thing for me. And I did really love it, even with an uneven narration that ended up being distracting for me.
Teddy Hamilton really slayed the narration, like I knew he would. I wish he narrated both parts, or I wish an equally skilled narrator was his partner because Teddy carried that story. Dake Bliss was very choppy and lacked emotion, and I really disliked his parts. Sure, I've listened to worse, but going from Teddy to Dake was jarring and certainly affected my enjoyment of the story.
Still, Sarina delivered with an emotional, lovely story with two men who went through hell to find their HEA. I loved their romance and the supporting characters, and it only made me more excited for Sarina's newer stuff.
