Park Avenue Player

The Best I’ve Read in a Long Time!

This book has it all, love story, importance of family, value of friendship, humor, tears, and faith. It’s unusual to find a romance that has that “hot and heavy” aspect” but also imparts very powerful messages about faith, love, relationships, faithfulness, & more. If that weren’t enough, there’s also laugh-out-loud scenes (we’re talking laugh until you cry!!), and a bird with personality.

Loved it!! Ending hit close to home

I have always love both authors books, this one hit close to home. I’m battling cancer and just last week wrote my 4 children letters, leaving them is so scary not because I’m afraid one dying but because of the pain they will be in after. Thank you for ending the book the way you just sounds like one of you have experienced this or maybe not but anyway loved this book!

Worth a read

Great narration was great as always by these two awesome performers. The main characters were relatable and the story was good overall. However, it felt like the authors were doing a lot in the story. It felt a little piecemeal. Some aspects felt a bit forced/ unrealistic (even for this genre) and took me out of the story a bit. For instance, “the game” between the two main characters did not really fit in with the story and was kind of off-putting. Still, I enjoyed the book and would recommend these authors.

A real story!

What a fabulous story! Of course a funny build to a steamy romance, but also some tears shed listening to my two favorite narrators! A plot twist brought some surprise too! Have some tissues handy. One of the best romances with humor and heart!

LOVE!

You can't go wrong with a book narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt then add Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward as the authors what's not to like.

Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland are the queens of the slow-burn. They do an excellent job creating characters and situations in a realistically believable way then weaves in a little twist or an event that puts unexpected pressure on them. Park Avenue Players has characters that touches my heart and won’t let go.

The story begins with Elodie working off her anger toward her ex by setting up cheaters for a PI to improve the spouses’ divorce settlements. It is a good job with good pay, but Elodie is ready to find a position using her childhood education degree.

On her way to an interview for a nanny, she has a fender bender with—you guessed it—her potential new boss. From the moment Hollis walks into the conference room, it is clear Elodie does not have a chance in hell to get the position.

Hollis is a troubled man. Six years later Hollis still struggles with his ex-girlfriend’s betrayal. The walls around his heart are sky-high. He refuses to be trapped in a relationship again, but there is something about Elodie. It is more than her beauty; he can see her soul. Elodie is a positive influence on his niece, Hailey. Every day around Elodie, another piece of the wall comes down.

Elodie and Hollis' story has a little of everything. The story unfolds perfectly for two people who have a lot to balance, not the least of which is Hailey, Hollis' niece who recently came into his life. Elodie is the perfect nanny for Hailey. She can relate to having parents that don't measure up.

There is a twist that throws a wrench in everything. It is not what I expected at all. My first reaction after the twist is that Hollis is unreasonable, but when I thought about it, I understand. It isn't easy on anyone when everything you believe turns out to be wrong.

Park Avenue Player is a beautiful enemies-to-lovers novel. The supporting characters enhance the plot immensely. Hailey is a pre-teen learning to deal with family issues while adjusting to her new home, school, and her changing expectations. The narrative unfolds at precisely the right pace to keep the reader engaged and turning the page.

I am never disappointed with this writing duo. Individually, Vi and Penelope's writing style is excellent—as a duo, they are beyond A+++. For me, each new release is better than the last, and that isn't easy to do. Park Avenue Player is bumpy road of fun, disappointment, and love brought to life by wonderful narrators.

Excellent story

This story contained it all - humor, tears, twists, and love that all made sense. The story slowly rolls out and isn't totally revealed until the end... I did guess the main part of what was revealed in the letters at the initial hospital scene.
Loved Haley's (sp?) part in this as she added another realistic dimension to the story. Addison also played a key role as Hollis' partner/friend that I enjoyed. Hewie/Hugh'y added another layer of humor and reality. All the many layers added up to a great story.
Totally recommend listening or reading this story.
Airways love Sebastian York and Andi Arndt as narrators and they did a terrific narration again. Thanks!

Every Emotion.

Loved the story. It was funny, thoughtful, happy and sad. And as usual, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York delivered the feelings that bring the story to life. I couldn't stop listening once I started. Cursed the one phone call that interrupted the reading.

Beautiful

Omg! So many feels! These ladies wrote the most awesome story! Loved Hollis, Elody and Hailey. I laughed, I cried I loved. Sebastian York and Andi Arndt were amazing as always, they bring the words to life! Loved the ending since it came after the revelations.

Loved it! Completely unputdownable!

When these ladies write, I buy! Their stories are so well crafted, their character development is very believable & engaging and their chemistry is always palpable. The narration is outstanding! Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are top narrators and this shows why. Their cadence is perfection and the way they are able to deliver emotion is, as always, spot on. A real treat for any romance audio lover.

These two ladies write very sexy and funny poignant stories. My husband and I love your books especially when they are narrated by our 2 favorite folks Andi Arndt & Sebastian York. They really know how to drive it home! 😍🥂
