Loved it

I think this might be my favourite book of the series so far, but they're all so very good. I loved Lagan and Killian's story, and they were brought perfectly to life by John Solo. Now I just need Nordin to be happy

A beautiful story and a wonderful narration!

This book was a treat to me because on one hand, Mr. Solo is one of my favorite voice actors and I enjoyed so much his amazing voice and great performances. On the other hand, this is probably the book I have reread more in the series and a huge favorite. Hearing and hearing Lagan and Killian's story narrated masterfully by Mr. Solo is my new hobby. Lagan's struggles broke my heart and it was a delight witnessing Killian give him the support and love he deserved. A beautiful romance and a wonderful narration!

From Loathing to Love

Loathed: Lagan is the third book in the Foster Brother series, and oh boy was this an emotional rollercoaster. Lagan is a determined young man who has the weight of the world on his shoulders. When personal tragedy hits, he ends up leaning on the last person he thought he would – his immensely disliked professor Killian. Although there were some heavy topics in this book, there was also a lot of humor and sweet moments. I enjoyed this book immensely and John Solo narrated the audiobook superbly.

Good enemies-to-lovers story!

I think I’ve said it before that enemies-to-lovers isn’t really a favorite romance trope of mine…I may need to reconsider that statement. I’ve read a couple of good ones lately, including Loathed: Lagan. Add in a bit of student/teacher thing, only one bed, an age gap and it really hit the spot for me.

I’m sure that John Solo’s audio performance was also a big factor in my enjoyment of this book (I hadn’t read it with my eyes previously). He is one of my favorite audiobook performers and he did a fantastic job with this one.

At first, it’s a bit puzzling as to why Killian seems to hate his student Lagan but as the story goes on, we learn more and more about why that is. When he and Lagan end up spending time together (only one bed scenario) they can no longer fight the attraction they have to each other.

The story held my attention from start to finish and had me shedding more than a few tears. I love it when a book gets all of my emotions involved. It isn’t all that often that an audiobook can do that so I think the credit for it happening in this book goes to both Nora Phoenix’s excellent writing and John Solo’s excellent performance of her words.

This is the third book in The Foster Brothers series but each book stands alone very well (I still need to listen to book one).

A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request and my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

Enemies-to-lovers story

After devouring the last two books by the Forster brothers, I was eager to read Lagan's story.
The story was slow-burning, but also very emotional. I was touched by Lagan's story. Lagan desperately wants to get a law degree, but his professor Killian is not thrilled with his student from day one and makes him feel it. Until something unforeseen happens and Lagan's brothers are out of town.
Nora Phoenix has a wonderful writing style and I found this book entertaining and enjoyable and it quickly hooked me. Both Lagan and Killian have to deal with a lot of pain from the past and it was nice to see them both slowly coming closer.
And then in between there were parts of the book where I would have loved to give one of them a little nudge and shake to make it two steps forward and not always one step forward and one step back.
And now I'm very curious about Nordin's story, the last of the Forster brothers.

John Solo has done a great performance. He brought Lagan and Killian to life with great emotion.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of this audiobook.

Third brother Foster.

I love that Nora has made this story about four boys that found each other in foster care and swore to be brothers forever!
This is the third book about the youngest, Lagan, meeting the love of his life. It’s a little hesitant, back and forth between the MCs that both have backgrounds where trust doesn’t come easily. And also, the other three are very protective of their little brother!

John does a great job bringing the story and characters to life!
