About This Audiobook

Corinne Michaels delivers a high-stakes contemporary romance where boundaries blur between professional obligation and personal desire. When PR consultant Ella Carter arrives in Ember Falls to clean up a client’s scandal, she expects a quick, clinical fix—not the smoldering attraction she feels for the client’s infuriatingly stubborn brother. The chemistry is undeniable, but Ella’s job is to keep her distance, not surrender to the kind of reckless mistake that could cost her career. Michaels crafts a dual-narration romance that thrives on tension, moral ambiguity, and the kind of slow-burning need that keeps you desperate for the next chapter. The small-town setting isn’t just backdrop; it becomes a cage, amplifying the stakes as Ella’s carefully constructed life unravels under the weight of her choices. If you crave romance where every kiss feels like a betrayal and every glance stings with something unsaid, this is your next addiction. The audiobook elevates the story with narration that doesn’t just deliver dialogue—it *feels* it. Samantha Brentmoor and Austin Stone balance Ella’s razor-sharp wit and the hero’s gruff restraint with a chemistry that’s audible even when they’re not in the same scene. It’s the kind of performance that makes you forget you’re listening to a recording.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Come What May* expecting a standard enemies-to-lovers fling, but Corinne Michaels punches far above that weight. Ella Carter is one of the most compelling heroines I’ve encountered in a while—smart, self-aware, and infuriatingly human in her flaws. She doesn’t just break the rules; she *wants* to break them, and that makes her choices both relatable and agonizing to witness. The dual narration is where this audiobook truly shines. Brentmoor nails Ella’s internal monologue with a razor’s edge—every exasperated sigh and guilty thought lands with precision. Stone’s portrayal of the hero, Nash, is a masterclass in controlled intensity; his voice drips with a quiet fury that makes his eventual surrender to Ella’s chaos feel earned. That said, the pacing stumbles slightly in the middle act. A few scenes drag as Ella and Nash circle each other, and the Ember Falls side characters fade into the background, making the small-town charm feel more like a set design than a living place. The production itself is flawless—no distracting background noise, consistent volume—but the emotional payoff at the end is worth the investment. If you’re here for insta-lust, look elsewhere. If you want a romance that gnaws at you like a guilty secret, this will haunt your playlists.
