My summary: Years ago, Lincoln Riscoff met a girl in a bar and they ended up having a one night stand without ever exchanging names. The first problem is that the girl turned out to be Whitney Gable. The Riscoff and Gable families have had a bitter feud that has lasted almost two centuries. The second problem is that Lincoln loves her in spite of their families histories but Whitney can’t get past it. After a few months of a secret fling, Whitney went on to marry Ricky despite Lincoln objecting during their wedding. Present day, Whitney has just returned home to Gable after Ricky, her husband and rockstar, died from an overdose and public opinion has blamed her for it. Lincoln is still in love with Whitney but the family names are still an issue for Whitney. 

My thoughts: This is a Romeo and Juliet reminiscent modern love story. I do not like this female narrator. She has an odd inflection to her voice, particularly at the end of sentences, that I just do not enjoy. She narrated a different Megan March trilogy that was pretty meh for me, so I was really disappointed to start this series and find out it’s the same narrator. This story flips between the past and present, and towards the end I had a hard time remembering if I was in a past or present time chapter so that was a bit confusing. I’m overall pretty ambivalent about the story and what happens to Whitney. I found myself increasingly frustrated by her thoughts and actions relating to Lincoln. There’s really no character development and plenty of unlikeable characters here. I did pause this audiobook for a good bit as I was reading a book with a similar enough plot line that I was getting mixed up between the two, so I waited until I finished the other book before I continued this audiobook. I don’t think that helped because I really loved the other book and coming back to this audiobook made me realize how much I didn’t like Whitney or the side characters and how little plot and character development are actually happening here. I will likely listen to the next in the series and then give up if it doesn’t improve.
