Never Too Close: Star Falls, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

This fabulous friends-to-lovers small town romance not only captivated my attention the entire time, but it tugged on my heartstrings too. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are likable too. Vito Bianchi, a firefighter who moved back in with his parents after his divorce. He could have gotten his own place, but with his job, he preferred to not be alone when he came home, and he and his family have a good relationship, so it worked. Eden Byrne, a single mom, moved from L.A. to Star Falls to start over. She had met Vito when she went to see her aunt, who was friends with his mother and was visiting. When her new rental home caught fire, Vito was one of the firefighters who responded. Vito took an immediate likely to her and her daughter and they became friends quickly. The chemistry between them was undeniable, and they could only deny each other for so long. This is a heartwarming story, and I loved how it all played out. The writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. I also loved the camaraderie amongst the Bianchi’s, children and parents, his mother reminds me of my friend’s mom, hilarious, always meddling, always meaning well. Chelle Bliss, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are a superbly talented narration team, their voices and performances complement each other and the quality of their audio is top-notch. They understand the characters they are portraying, give each a voice that is fitting and are believable in every role they perform. Brentmoor nailed it as Eden, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her insecurities to her strength and determination. Clarke was just as fabulous as Vito, the swoon worthy firefighter with a heart of gold. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters and handled the witty dialogue with ease. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two are entertaining storytellers and their performance elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

First of all, I have been in a Jason Clarke slump so when I realized he was narrating this audiobook?Magic! I was enthralled from The beginning. Then add in a sweet, emotional story where a single mother finds love, a wonderful cast we grew to know and love from Prior stories and the light humor we expect from Chelle Bliss and you have a great, engaging story with an amazing audiobook. As always, one of this author’ strength is family- both romantic and familial and friends. What a wonderful world.
