About This Audiobook

Chelle Bliss delivers a scorching rom-com with teeth in *Wish*, a story that doesn’t just flirt with danger—it bites. Our heroine, an emotionally armored woman who vowed off dating after one too many heartbreaks, finds her no-thanks list in shambles when a rugged single dad moves into the neighborhood. But it’s not just his abs that throw her off-kilter; it’s the way he looks at her like she’s something worth keeping. Bliss crafts a meet-cute that’s less Hallmark and more raw, unfiltered attraction, where every glance lingers a second too long and every refusal feels like a challenge. The tension simmers until it boils over in a way that’s messy, passionate, and impossibly satisfying. What sets this audiobook apart is its narrator duo. Lance Greenfield’s gruff, effortlessly cool voice gives our love interest the perfect balance of strength and vulnerability—it’s the kind of tone that makes you believe a guy this hot could actually be a decent guy. Kirsten Leigh, voicing our heroine, nails the push-pull of her internal monologue; you’ll hear every sarcastic retort, every reluctant smile, and the slow crack in her defenses as she stops fighting what feels undeniably right. The production wraps it all in a crisp, immersive soundscape that makes the neighbors’ drama feel like your own."

"review": "I went into *Wish* expecting another forgettable rom-com, but Bliss surprised me with a story that’s equal parts swoon-worthy and sharply observant about the risks of letting someone in. The pacing is tight, with just enough steamy scenes to keep you hooked without drowning in cliché—though I could’ve done without the third-act misunderstanding that felt like a contrived plot device rather than organic conflict. Greenfield and Leigh’s chemistry is the real star here; their interplay is so natural it’s like eavesdropping on a couple who’ve been dancing around each other for years. Leigh especially shines when her character’s walls start to crumble, and you can *hear* the internal battle in her voice. That said, the production stumbles slightly with a few abrupt audio cuts during pivotal moments—nothing major, but jarring enough to pull you out of the moment. And while the story resolves in a way that’s satisfying, I wish the emotional stakes felt higher; the conflicts resolved a little too neatly. Still, if you’re craving a romance where the banter is as sharp as the feels, this is your audiobook. Just don’t listen in public unless you’re cool with random strangers judging your breathing patterns during the steamier bits."
