Enjoyable

I enjoyed this three book compilation and it was a great deal vs buying individually. I loved the narration, the only complaint was that there was not enough Joe Arden. Rock Star Story with growth, coding, family issues - it had a lot

Four-starred rock star trilogy

It's been about two years since I last read something from Piper Lawson--NSWF, the second book in her Play trilogy--so I welcomed the opportunity to not just re-acquaint myself with her writing but to listen to my very first audiobook from her, and it's a trilogy to boot! The Wicked audiobook consists of the first three stories in that series by the same name--Good Girl, Bad Girl, and Wicked Girl--and it's about one couple, a twenty-year-old college student and a twenty-eight-year-old rock star, whose lives become entangled in ways neither had ever planned for. Good Girl is where we meet the cast of characters led by Haley Telfer and Jax Jamieson. She's a student who's co-op program requires her to find a job, and he's the lead singer of Riot Act and her celebrity crush. They end up working together when Haley is tasked to back up the sound engineer on Riot Act's latest tour. Haley and Jax clash, but there's an underlying attraction going on. Bad Girl picks up after Haley walks away from Jax once she learns the secret he's kept from her; Wicked Girl is two years after Jax decides Haley has chosen the man he hates over him. In terms of the Haley and Jax's story as a whole, I did like the dynamic between them, especially once what they had transcended from Haley mooning over the fact that the man she's been crushing on for years is in such close proximity and may very well have a thing for her, too. One thing I didn't particularly like, however, was how it seemed Haley used sex to...entice Jax to do something. On the other hand, Jax had a bad habit of walking away when things didn't go his way rather than having a discussion and finding alternatives or coming to a compromise. Story-wise, Good Girl gets 3.5 stars, Bad Girl gets three stars, and Wicked Girl gets four stars. Piper Lawson does an admirable job keeping Jax and Haley's romance going over the span of three books, although the middle--aka book two--section falters a bit. Haley's issues with her estranged father and Jax's own situation with parenthood were my favorite aspects of the story because they're more heartrending. Joe Arden and Savannah Peachwood perform well over the twelve and a half hours. With 4.5 stars for narration and 3.5 stars for the story, Wicked gets four stars. ♥

Story Drags

The story drags a lot. Narrators could be better. I tried listening to this book 5 times. Each time I got bored and had to go to my favorites.

Interesting but...

Decent enough “rockstar” romance but it felt a bit too formulaic and had a few logic and storyline disconnects. The most disconcerting for me was skips where major events supposedly happened but now we’re in this part of the story that the author decided to go ahead and write about but now you’ve lost any connection I had to the characters. Cue the LP screech. Haley’s autistic foibles caught my interest in her character but then the author dropped it. Jax’s legend status caught me but then the author decided he’s only 29. Sorry, not old enough to be legend. Formula hooks that don’t pan out. At least 50 shades mostly delivered. Having said all that, there is some good writing in there that held my interest to the end. Save your $ by going with this combined book NOT the broken up trilogy. Arden and Peachwood do a decent job of narration.

My heart.

Dear Piper Lawson, you thru my heart in a food processer and it was shredded; this book has everything, naughty alpha-male-ego, sexy talking, delicious sexy time and a girl with a mission, most of all a heartbreaking romance, where you're second-guessing their love, you even don't see the twist coming and yes... get ready to get gut-punched once or twice.

Wow! Loved Everything About This Series ❤️

The chemistry between the main characters is out of this freaking world! I felt that the author had the ability to convey true depth to the personalities of the characters bringing life and likability to every person. The writing draws you in and keeps you interested until the end. As for the narration, it's not often that the voices in my head are surpassed, but these 2 hit it out of the park!

More relationship, less rock

An excellent story of finding yourself and following your path in spite of someone else’s desires. I loved their journey to their HEA.

Loved this audible trilogy!

This trilogy was great to listen to - I was skeptical at first since I am a visual person and usually only like reading books, but Joe and Savannah did an awesome job with the narration! The story was funny, sad and sweet, with a little bit of bad boy all mixed in! Definitely recommend!

4.5 Stars

Absolutely love this series. It grabs you from the start and you don’t want to stop listening!!! It’s a slow burn with little amount of sex scenes. It’s funny, and heartwarming, with a HEA! This is my first book by Piper Lawson and I’m definitely want more from this author. And of course the Narrative was also great. They both were good. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review #AudiobookObsessionReviewer
