About this listen

A feisty comedian. A former cop with a wounded heart. An unusual roommate arrangement...

Comedian Stephanie Renshaw hopes to finally get her big break in LA. A chance encounter lands her the perfect apartment close to the comedy clubs, but it comes with a catch: She needs a roommate to afford the rent.

Enter Rae Coleman, a former police officer working the door at one of the top comedy clubs. After getting injured in the line of duty and losing her job with the LAPD, Rae guards her wounded soul behind a tough exterior.

At first, the two clash horribly before a tentative friendship develops. Bit by bit, Steph manages to break through the walls Rae has built around her.

But Steph has never been in a relationship, preferring casual flings, and Rae isn't sure she's ready to be happy again. Will they find the courage to open themselves up to love?

Contains mature themes.

Very refreshing to read a book that does not rely on miscommunication or no communication at all to move the plot along. I really fell in love with Steph and Rae and their story. I also learned a lot about comedy and eyes. A truly enjoyable listen.

This was a really heartwarming story that was a little bit different from usual! Not only is it a sweet romance, but it also includes themes of learning to accept yourself and breaking walls down :)

Great story. Finally people that don't live the impossible life or a famous or super rich character. People that have suffered and seen the difficulties of life. But all served with humor and smart writing. The narrator once again delivered amazing work.

funny and light

I'm a huge fan of Jae's work & this book was no exception. After listening to "Just for Show", I was desperate for a Steph spin off story. Jae not only delivered, but smashed the story out the park.

Jae balenced the drama & seriousness of Rae's backstory with the humour of a comedians life perfectly. I laughed multiple times at the jokes Steph & other characters said. I loved getting to know Steph & her relationship with her family more. It felt fresh, even though the characters have appeared in another book. This story could definitely be a stand alone story. I adored getting to know Rae. She was such an interesting & likeable character, & blended perfectly with Steph. The descriptive imagery was sublime, I felt immersed in the characters world. My only criticism in relation to the story was that at times their journey to becoming a couple felt a bit stilted & forced. Although, that may have been more to do with the narration.

This is the second book narrated by Lori Prince I've listened to & I think it most likely will be my last. I decided to give her another go, as the previous audiobook was one I had read with my eyeballs & I figured maybe I disliked it because her narration didn't match what I imagined in my head. However, this audiobook would have been fresh with no previous comparison (except the small snippets of Steph in "Just for Show" narrated by the amazing Angela Dawe). Unfortunately, my opinion of Lori still stands. Her performance was solid, but didn't blow me away. Her voices & accents weren't distinctive enough, Claire & Lana didn't sound remotely like they did in "Just for Show", & in my opinion she didn't enhance the story to its full potential. I don't regret listening to the audiobook, but I think perhaps I would have appreciated the story more had I read the book with my eyeballs instead.

I still highly recommend the story, but perhaps don't listen directly after you've listened to Angela Dawes performance in "Just for Show", as the characters voice are so different it may confuse you.

Great story. Mediocre narrator.
