I love good enemies to lovers romance and the writing team of Christina Lauren delivered with The Unhoneymooners. Ethan and Olive have hated each other since they first met on a fun day out with their siblings, Amelia (Olive’s twin sister) and Dean (Ethan’s younger brother).

Olive feels like she has nothing but bad luck verse her sister, Amelia (Ami) who wins almost every contest she enters. Which we see when the story opens with Ami and Dean getting married. Ami entered contests and won almost everything for her wedding, including a 10-day honeymoon package to Hawaii. But after everyone getting sick at the wedding from food poisoning with the exception of Olive and Ethan, Ami begs Olive to take the honeymoon trip so it doesn’t go to waste.

Watching Ethan and Olive on their non-honeymoon is fun. They have chemistry and fun banter. The banter is their thing since they are convinced that the other one hates them. After getting to know each other a little and making the most of the trip they become friends. Then a few truths come out that has both rethinking the last couple of years.

The Unhoneymooners is a funny, sexy trip to a HEA between Olive and Ethan and Christina Lauren fans will have a great escape with this new release.

The Unhoneymooners Audiobook Narration

3 Hearts

Cynthia Farrell is a new to me narrator. It took me a while to fall into her interpretation of Ethan. I thought she was trying to make him sound like a airhead surfer dude when he wasn’t, but I figured it that was how she does a guy’s voice. I’m glad I got into Farrell’s voices for Olive and Ethan after a few chapters. I enjoyed listening to this enemies to lovers romance.

Deacon Lee only narrates the prologue which is from Ethan’s POV. Lee has a pleasant voice and handles Ethan’s POV well.

Jennifer: The Book Nympho

Some of you may know her as The Book Nympho. She blogged for about 5 years on her own blog, but after experiencing writing burn out due to finishing up her BA in English, she took a year off from writing reviews.

Things about Jennifer that are not reading related, she’s learning to crochet. She’s been married 16 years, and she has a 12-year-old son. Once a dog person, she now find herself very much a cat person.

She loves rejecting reality one book at a time, and she’s happy to be back in the blog world through the team of That’s What I’m Talking About.

Jennifer reads all things romance and urban fantasy, and over the last two years, she’s branched out to some young adult. She reviews both audiobooks and traditional/ebooks.

I’m Melanie and I live in Ohio. I have two horses and a dog. I’m an animal lover, avid book reader and audiobook listener. I like to live vicariously through fictional characters. I enjoy reading and listening to mostly fictional books in the paranormal genre, including Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance and Horror. My favorite paranormal creatures are shifters, doesn’t matter the flavor.
