Story
Caitlyn Lloyd has the world at her feet. Or more accurately - under her horse’s hooves. With the 2016 Rio Olympics just around the corner, nothing is going to derail her long-held dream of winning a medal or two in Olympic dressage. Not even the reappearance of a childhood so-not-a-friend throwing her perfectly balanced life into disarray. Addie Gardner’s career is at its peak, and accepting a last-minute fill-in position as the veterinarian for the US Olympic Dressage Team was a no-brainer. The fact that her old crush from Pony Club is on the team is just a bonus.

Story
Rebecca Keane has it all figured out. With a successful career as an Army surgeon and a fresh promotion to lieutenant colonel, she loves her life leading a surgical team. Even if that life means she’s spent years hiding her sexuality and ignoring her desires under the Army’s "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy. Then Captain Sabine Fleischer’s arrival sets off an attraction that cracks Rebecca’s carefully cultivated armor and brings about fresh complications.

Pro alpine skier Aspen Archer's downfall happened in the worst possible way - a career-ending crash on a gold medal run at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Aspen packed up her broken life, picked up her broken body, and now hides in comfortable obscurity at ski resorts around the world, coaching tourists and ignoring her problems. Cate Tierney knows who Aspen is, but the last place she expected to meet the former Olympian was during a ski trip to Australia. Hurt by a past relationship, and with a teenage daughter to protect, Cate's initial reluctance is quickly overcome by her attraction.

With that accusation stuck in her head, Isabelle throws caution to the wind and dives into her first one-night stand. Checking that off her bucket list should be something to celebrate - except it turns out that the woman she just spent an earth-shattering night with is actually her newly hired company pilot, Audrey Graham. Ms. Never-See-You-Again just turned into Ms. See-You-Constantly.

It's EJ Noyes...! It's Abby Craden...!
Ej Noyes is in my 'five geniuses of lesfic' list, and so far I have loved all her work and all the reading performances on Audible.
I've listened to this book twice, before reviewing, to work out my reaction to it. And I guess I feel a little underwhelmed. I mean, it's EJ Noyes! She's a great writer, so this book is better than the vast majority of lesfic out there, but it's not EJ's best IMHO. If you know your Jane Austen, this is my Northanger Abbey: great and fun and full of sparkling moments, but NOT Pride and Prejudice!
I wont detail my problems with it, I'll leave that up to you. It's certainly worth a credit and certainly lots to love. I'll listen again and often, unlike several of my other lesfic choices.
I also, for the first time ever, have to say I think I've found a chink in Abby Craden's armour... Her British accent is not up to being the main character in a long novel.... 🙄 Just saying!

A great benefit to reap
I was a bit doubtful both of the several negative narrator reviews and the topic but found that the narration was fine and E J Noyes was as good as ever. Ok it’s not the best British accent ever but I’m more interested in the ‘feel’ of the voice and Abby Craden has that in spades. I also really enjoyed the ‘death and her minions’ concept, it was clever and heartwarming.

i have never tried an EJNoyes book before. the characters were so well crafted I fell in love with Jane and Morgana.
the sex scene were written so tenderly they never felt over done or too graphic. this was a love story first not a purely erotic novel.

OMG!!!!
So I’ve read all of E.J. Noyes other books and I love her writing, the characters she creates and the story line. When I saw this book I was instantly excited until I read what it was about. I am a simple straightforward (semi-real life) love story type and this was like nothing I had read before. I’ve never be drawn to the “fantasy fiction” but THIS BOOK WAS PHENOMENAL!!! The detail of the characters and how they all came to be and how intricately they were woven. The details of the characters background and questions you asked while reading it were answered as if you were speaking with the author and characters themselves.

Another great one from E.J. Noyes! I was a little hesitant to buy this one because I am not into paranormal books...However, This one is very unique and barely a paranormal book. It is well written and E.J. Noyes brings depth to each character. It is also very witty and funny! Well done!!

Creative Romance
I know the concept may be different, but reading about love when death and eternity are readily acceptable concepts is refreshing. It was well done. There is also one scene of seduction that tests the resolve of a person struggling to hold on to control as a means to defend against losing more of herself. It was simultaneously hot and conceptually beautiful, when she loses control, she finally realizes who she is and who she's always been. At least, that's my thoughts. Great read and wonderful narration by AC

Soooo Satisfying
I have been anticipating to finally get to hear the combination of Noyes and Craden once more and they did not disappoint. I loved every freaking character. Morgan and Jane you cannot help but to love and root for and the two main side characters CC and Jane's mother Pamela were the perfect compliments to Morgan and Jane. CC can be my wing man anytime. Honestly CC almost, just almost stole the show. My only negative is that it ended so soon. Please savor it, don't blink, or it will be over. I was immediately wanting more. Mrs. Noyes, if you are listening, I would love to experience more from this world you have created and any new wonderful characters you would add to the story. Wonderful!

Better then I thought it would be.
I was pleasantly surprised that the world mechanics worked. Not overly descriptive but enough that I could suspend disbelief.
Smart, funny moments and a sweet love story.
the only complaint I have is that it felt like it ended abruptly but that may just have been me not ready to go.
As always Abby Craden was perfect.

A total "feel good." So much very clever wry/tounge-in-cheek humor, so many laughs. Just the right amount of angst/soul searching & TGS (tastefully graphic sex). A happily ever after (extreme). Love and romance. And Abby Craden does her (as usual) awesome job!

Great Listen!
You won't regret getting this audiobook. C'mon, E.J. NOYES and the amazing Abby Craden!!! of course I loved this book, but my fav E.J. Noyes book is ALONE. Seriously, buy both books, but the one you will not be able to stop listening to and when you have to stop, you'll be telling someone about it, is ALONE. Both books are 5 STARS all the way! I hope to see more Noyes/Craden soon...
