About this listen

I don’t deserve her forgiveness, but I can’t stop fighting for it.

Bay ran from me four years ago, and I can’t blame her. I broke her heart and my own with one split second mistake. Now, we’re thrown together for four weeks. Training camp after the draft is the final step to cement my pro football careers, but after seeing her again, she’s the only future I want.

If I were a better guy, I’d walk away and let her live her life. Maybe I haven’t learned my lesson yet because I can’t stop thinking about her. And I won’t stop until she knows how much I still love her.

The sins of my past are hard to run from, but I’ll battle every single one, if it means one more chance with her.

The Sin of Kissing You is the second book in the new Fulton U universe sports romance, Falling trilogy.

Keyton and Bay!

It’s been four years since the event that ended Keyton and Bay’s relationship and changed the course of their lives. Keyton’s future is bright as he has finished college and is preparing to start his professional football career when Bay comes back into his life. From the moment he sees her again all the feelings come rushing back like a tsunami and although his past is still a complication, he can’t imagine a future without Bay in it.

When her relationship ended with Keyton Bay had no choice but to forge a future for herself. She has now finished college and is no longer the girl that he used to know. She is already conflicted about her future so having him reappear in her life becomes another challenge she must face. Her feelings for him still run deep but trust is an issue both when it comes to him and herself.

The chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever but both Bay and Keyton are at a crossroads personally and professionally. The characters draw you in and the plot keeps you guessing and leaves you wanting the conclusion of Bay and Keaton’s story. Both narrators did a wonderful job of ensuring that you could feel all the same emotions and angst that Keyton and Bay were feeling.

Protect them

You simply HAVE to have read The Art Of Falling For You before you read this. Now with that being said this picks up roughly 4 years after the events of TAoFfY and we are back at the awkward reunion stage. (You'll understand what that means if you've read book 1) I am not okay after reading this. I had a feeling this would be an emotional rollercoaster and that was an understatement in the extreme. Are the characters perfect in this? No. There's a lot of emotion on both sides for a variety of reasons but I TRULY hope that book 3 returns me to the state of my adoration for Dare and Bay both. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this and all opinions are my own.

Even better in audio

I read and adored this book before trying the audiobook and even though I wasn’t sure it was possible, I enjoyed the story even more in audio.

To get the important details out the way first, this is not a standalone novel. It’s the middle story in a trilogy chronicling Bay and Dare’s romance / love story. If you haven’t read the first in the trilogy, The Art of Falling for You, you will not understand what’s going on in this story. And this story does not end with a HEA. That will come in the third and final book of the set, The Hate of Loving You.

In this book, Tim Paige and Emma Wilder reprise their roles of Dare and Bay that they took on in the first book in the series, The Art of Falling For You. As with the first book, they both excel at the voices and really give life to our star-crossed lovers.

I loved Bay and really felt for her in this story. She was cute, feisty and determined but very real with her emotions. She made the realisation that she was being selfish and was honest about how she couldn’t stop her feelings for Dare - and how their relationship ultimately wasn’t healthy. It might not have been evident from the start, but when Bay started allowing her feelings to resurface, it was clear that she adored Dare with everything she had and it made my heart fit to burst.

Emma Wilder has a raspy quality to her voice that was perfect for Bay’s songstress vibe. Further more, she really brought the emotion to this performance. I found myself really feeling every little thing that Bay did and when the ending came, I was crying like a baby. It was awesome.

What I liked about this story was how we get to watch Bay and Dare grow both as people and as a couple. Dare especially learns a lot about himself and he wore his feelings for Bay on his sleeve. My own heart broke for him as much as his beat for Bay. He was so desperate to right his wrongs - and took Bay’s previous parting words that he would never be loveable, to heart. He was trying so hard to be a better man but it was so obvious to us - and Bay - that he still had so many issues. I wanted to scream at him to stop his destructive behaviour but I also wanted him to learn. Gah!

Tim Paige as Dare was excellent. He’s got a manly voice but still quite youthful. I believed him 100%. He was very emotive and also did an excellent job of portraying the female voice of Bay during conversations that sounded realistic and didn’t pull you out of the story. He even managed to differentiate between different females and kept those voices consistent throughout the narration. Extra points for that.

Despite the fact we know it’s not going to end well just yet - Dare and Bay were so obviously perfect for each other. They just worked. Both were able to just be themselves around the other and I loved that the spark hadn’t died after 4 years of being apart. I still laughed with them and cried with them and screamed at them to get their stuff together and figure things out. Frankly, even when they were being idiots, I still love the pair.

Even knowing the outcome of this story - and the whole trilogy - I was surprised to still feel the delicious angst that is synonymous with Maya Hughes’ writing. She still managed to suck me in and mess with my head and emotions so much that I had to pull back every once in a while and remind myself it will all work out okay.

I love the way that listening to an audiobook having read the ebook previously, you pick up on so much more detail and really get the emotion from the characters that the author likely intended. I find myself falling in love with these characters as the themselves fall in love. Sadly, that also means that when they break, I break too. I can’t wait to listen to the final book in this trilogy but on its own this truly is 5 star audio romance.
