About This Audiobook

Adriana Locke delivers a contemporary romance that’s as sharp as it is swoon-worthy, centering on a high-stakes battle of egos and attraction. When podcaster Harper Lane taunts her audience by declaring no man could make her fall in love, she doesn’t expect Drake Bennett—a former NFL star turned arrogant sportscaster—to call her bluff. Their explosive chemistry, fueled by equal parts frustration and fascination, ignites a slow-burn romance that’s as much about clashing personalities as it is about undeniable tension. Locke’s signature wit and relatable characters give this story a grounded edge, making it feel like a real-life rom-com you’d binge between episodes of your favorite reality TV.

The audiobook shines thanks to Raven Wildewood’s velvety narration, which balances Harper’s fiery determination and Drake’s smoldering confidence with effortless precision. Wildewood’s delivery makes even the snarkiest dialogue feel intimate, while Tor Thom’s cameo as Drake grounds the character’s gruff charm in a way that’s impossible to resist. The dual narration brings the story to life with a dynamism that elevates Locke’s sharp banter and steamy scenes, ensuring you’ll never want to pause—even if you should.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Try Me* expecting a lighthearted fling wrapped in football references, but Adriana Locke delivered a romance with real emotional weight. Harper and Drake’s back-and-forth isn’t just banter; it’s a battle of wits where both characters refuse to back down, and Wildewood’s narration makes every jibe land with perfect comedic timing. The production is polished, but not in a sterile way—it feels like you’re sneaking glances at their messy, too-hot-to-handle relationship, especially during the steamy scenes that Wildewood sells with a breathy, teasing cadence. That said, the pacing drags slightly in the middle, where the conflict feels repetitive before Drake’s vulnerability resurfaces. And while Thom’s narration is strong, his deeper tones occasionally overwhelm Wildewood’s, making group scenes feel uneven. But the payoff is worth it: the payoff scenes are electric, and the chemistry between the leads is palpable. If you love rom-coms with a side of real stakes, this audiobook will have you hitting replay.
