Getting Real

5 stars plus Getting Real is an amazing read! It is Connor Daniels story, a divorced Dad of three boys and a successful Emergency Room Doctor. There is just something about single dad stories that just do it for me and make me swoon! Don’t ask me why though!! This book is highly entertaining but also rather true in regards to raising boys. A few of the lines in it struck a chord with me relative to my own son, lol. I laughed alot, I also smiled and it was touch and go for a bit as to what would happen. My emotions were sent through the ringer, to be brutally honest. Connor has noticed ER nurse Violet but never actually done anything due to working in the same hospital. Violet has had a crush on Connor and is rather clumsy when near him, but when they are kind of roped into attending a friends wedding together, these two find out how good things could possibly get. This book will send you on a rather fun journey, filled to the brim with entertaining banter, boy antics, steamy chemistry and heart wrenching moments that all round up for one sensational highly recommended story. There is a definite ease between Connor and Violet but when something happens to make you see what truly matters, will there be a future ahead for them? Only one way to find out, is to read it for yourself. Its a book that I will never forget and I truly didn’t want to to end.

After reading the blurb for Getting Real, I expected and hoped for a fun, engaging romance. Well, I got that and a whole lot more. This book turned out to be exactly what I needed this weekend. I had no problem identifying with the characters, and I live the blended family trope every single day. I know how stressful it can be and how wonderful it can be. Emma Chase captured all of that with a whole cast of terrific characters - even the secondary characters and the ones that just pop in for a scene or two feel real. As for Connor and Violet - well., I found myself talking to them a couple of times. Not that they listened to me of course, but I certainly tried. This story has all the feels. It's as hilarious as it is sweet, and it's as emotional as it is lighthearted. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more, and I swooned. You can't help but swoon over Connor even when he says and does things that make you want to shake the daylights out of him. And the things his boys said and did? Yeah, Emma Chase hit the nail right on the head with their age groups, which is just one more thing to make these characters feel so real. I had actually planned to stretch this listen out for the whole weekend, listening to a chapter or two here and there, but once I started it, that was it. These characters drew me in and held on tight. The voices of Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber didn't help any with hitting the pause button. I've listened to both of these narrators before, so I expected great things, and I found them. The book is read in dual POV with Webber doing Connor's chapters while Arndt did Violet's, and they captured every emotion. So, to sum it up, Getting Real is a fantastic listen that I'll definitely come back to again. Somehow, this is my first book by Emma Chase, which I plan to remedy very soon, and as always, I'm blown away by these narrators. If you haven't read or listened to this book yet, you definitely need to.
