⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Want to be a Morgan stars

So before getting started on this little firecracker, I want you to take a little minute to just look at that cover picture.............

..
..
..

Ok are you back?? ................Ok then, just one more minute...... go on, i'll wait.............

Right, that's your lot! You can go back and swoon after this review,

Bee tee dubs, let me tell you that this cover photo is of an *actual* Firefighter from Washington, SWOON!!!!!!


This is the story of Lydia and Colby

Lydia & Colby meet after Colby has a pretty bad accident that leaves him fighting for his life in the hospital, Lydia is his physiotherapist.

The attraction to each other (once Colby is awake) is instant, but Lydia knows that it won't / can't go any further as she has her own share of heartbreak that she is not willing to go through again, not for her, and certainly not for her kids!

My heart broke and then was patched back up again with this story, and i LOVED IT!

This book had FEELINGS guys, i am not joking when i say i had a little cry in chapter 2, CHAPTER FREAKING 2 !!!! Who does that???

Lauren 'Jedi Yoda' Rowe that's who!

If you have read any of Ms Rowe's books then you will know that her secondary characters also have a huge part to play in her books, in fact, all of the Morgan clan have become my best friends.

The one-liners are classic, and i can't actually say which one of them are my favorite brother, but Colby certainly is up there in my top 3 Lol.

Everything in this book is just perfect, the 'meet cute' the family, the kids....just everything!!

Even though the other 2 books have been released and are all stand alone's in their own right, if you really want to catch the Morgan brothers in their chronological fine glory then THIS ONE should be read first, then [bc:Captain|34321962|Captain (The Morgan Brothers)|Lauren Rowe|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1489698332s/34321962.jpg|55382998] & finally the blue haired, perfect specimen that is [bc:Ball Peen Hammer|30038278|Ball Peen Hammer (The Morgan Brothers)|Lauren Rowe|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1466373410s/30038278.jpg|50442305]

If you have never read a Lauren Rowe book before, firstly WHAT????
Secondly you should get on that straight away!

Pick this one up and become one of the family, 'Mama Lou' will be waiting with open arms, and the boys can't wait to give you a nickname.

Another fabulous short smexy story from the always fantastic Lauren Blakely.

Told from 1 POV Sebastian York #SebYes takes the audio lead, and his wonderfully gravely voice gives you the usual tingles all over that he is famous for.

A cat called Zeus takes the medal for me in this book, who knew that a cat could go hiking? I almost want to buy one and drag it my local mountain for a walk!

If you are looking for a friends to lovers, short little Rom-Com, then look no further my friend..........You're welcome!

4.5 Star Listen

This review is not a synopsis of the book, but my opinion.

This was a fabulous listen, Sebastian York as per usual was a fantastic narrator and his voice was swoontastic as Max

Unusually this book is all done from one POV and not split which i really liked.

The banter between these two was so funny and had me laughing out loud on many occasions, especially when there was a monkey involved!
Lots of brilliant one liners, and even though i am not a car nut, it had enough explanation in it not to make me sit there thinking "what are they talking about"?

I loved Henley, she is one badass who doesn't put up with s**t from anyone, (especially a man) and can hold her own in an argument, and mostly win!

Lauren Blakely's style of writing is very easy to read (or listen to) and i can't wait to read more of her work.

Review

It's really difficult to review this book, 1 because of the subject matter and 2 because of the narration.

The story is narrated by a 5 year old little boy called Jack.
He lives in 'Room' with 'Ma' this is the only place he has ever known as he was born there.

Room is 11ft by 11ft with a bath, cooker a bed, a wardrobe all of the creature comforts you would ever want and Jack is happy!

Ma is not happy.....

Ma was kidnapped at the age of 19 and put into the room and has not been able to leave for 7 years!

Jack has lots of friends, he has Bed, Wardrobe, Plant, Egg Snake and Dora in TV.

Because the whole story is told from Jacks POV you never really understand everything that is happening in Room but you can feel it.

You can feel it when they look at 'Watch' and it is 8.47pm and he runs into 'Wardrobe' to his bed so that he isn't there when 'Old Nick' comes in at 9pm....

You can feel it when he counts the grunts until it goes quiet and Old Nick leaves...

You can feel it when Jack speaks about people in TV not being really real, and 'Outside' is outer space ......

The narration is hard at first, and I felt guilty about being a bit fed up with it after a few chapters, it started to grate my nerves, but after that I understood why it was done like that.

A good but difficult read.
