About this listen

NIKOS

It takes everything I have not to keep touching her whenever we’re together. But the pull is more than physical.

We barely know each other, but I know there’s something calling me to her. Surprisingly, it’s not about what I can see. When I’m with her, I see myself differently.

I thought I knew a lot about women, but Jenny’s a masterclass.

JENNY

I may be going to hell for thinking about it in church, but for the first time in my life I’m obsessed with the physical. It’s Nikos’ fault.

Who else would want to recreate the iconic dance in Dirty Dancing… naked. The man has imagination.

I’m going to ignore the fact he isn’t my type, because it was worth going off brand.

Something tells me I’m onto something good.

Niko, Niko, Niko, when you know you know. For years he has enjoyed his life as a dancer and it's amenities. Parties, women, it's so much fun. So when he was called home to help his dad, he was only going to be there as long as he had to. Jenny is his dad's physical therapist, and she has tipped the scales for Niko. There is something about her that has pulled him in. She is attracted to Niko, and a little fun is just what she needs after her last relationship. Witty banter and incredible passion fly through the air as Leslie Pike takes us through their story. This bad boy is nothing like his brothers and brings all the feels. The listen may be quick, but it's packed with humor and love. I loved this installment of the Santini's.

Lee Samuels and Lucy Rivers finish out the series with an incredible performance. Samuels is the charismatic, sensual Niko. He gives him the most attractive way about him, easy to love. Rivers is Jenny, and she is conflicted. Her turmoil in the beginning is easy to feel, but her pull towards Niko is also evident just by the nuances in her voice. These two made the series one I love and highly recommend!

Fabulous! Give me Niko!

I’m completely hooked on Leslie Pike’s “Santini” series—each book features a different Santini brother and is as wonderful as the last. This third book is Nikos, the youngest Santini’s story, and he is definitely living it up and partying hard in Las Vegas, where he works as a backup dancer. After his father’s accident, his mother called asking him to come home and help, and because he was in between jobs, Nikos went back home. Jenny Doyle, a physical therapist, is dating a paster, but has a lackluster love life, no thanks to his beliefs to not get intimate until they are married. Then she meets him, her new patient, Mr. Santini’s son, Nikos, and the chemistry between them is electric and truly shines. It was great to watch Nikos fall for Jenny, also great to see him re-evaluate his life choices and Jenny has to do the same. This novella sized book packs a well plotted, multi-layered story, and I loved watching it all unfold. It is always great to spend time with the Santini’s and I adored the direction Pike took her characters in the end and in the future, and that epilogue was amazing!! Leslie Pike, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Lucy Rivers and Lee Samuels continue to do an amazing job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that is fitting for a perfect portrayal of each. Rivers was a natural in Jenny’s role, grasped her personality and demeanor perfectly, from her insecurities to her confidence, and all in between. Samuels did the same in Nikos’ role, showcasing his playfulness and then his caring side, and was great with his inner thoughts too. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary/side characters too. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance not only takes the story to another level, but it keeps you riveted to the story.

A Splendid Story & Listen🎧Delightful & Heartfelt!
