Acerca de esta escucha
Everyone has secrets. He wants all of hers. Meet the man next door....
After years of military service, Evan Miller wants a quiet life. The small town of Ravenswood seems perfect - until he stumbles upon a vicious web of lies with his new neighbor at its center.
Ruth Kabbah is rude, awkward, and - according to everyone in town - bad news. Thing is, no one will tell Evan why. Does she perform ritual sacrifices? Howl at the moon? Pour the milk before the tea? He has no clue. But he desperately wants to find out. Because Ruth doesn’t seem evil to him; she seems lonely. And funny, and clumsy, and secretly quite sweet, and really f--king beautiful....
The more Evan’s isolated, eccentric neighbor pushes him away, the more he wants her. Her - and all her secrets. Because there’s no way a girl like Ruth truly deserves the town’s scorn.
Is there?

I was not a gambler. No way. I've built an existence free of risk and adventure. From my career to a small life with my closest family. I was not going to do anything to jeopardize my heart. But when my neighbor and number one menace to my safe plans showed up in Vegas, I did what every adventurous (not!) woman would do. I got drunk and married the man.

Arrogant. Delinquent. Hot as sin. All words that describe Simon Ashton, lead singer. His talent is out of this world...hence the arrogance. But if he doesn't clean up his act soon, he may find himself reliving the glory days from the discomfort of an empty mansion. That's where I come in, Myka Johnson, PR rep to some of the industry's hottest artists. I get results and make a lot of money doing it. So, when Meteor Records hired me to work my magic on Osiris's leading man, I jumped at the chance. There's only one problem: No one told me the job includes falling for the rockstar.

Hi, I'm Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime. When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting. I walked out with a cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined. Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together was more fun than I've had in a long time. But I'm smart enough to know if something feels to good too be true, it probably is. I mean, happily ever afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels...right?

I am the type of woman who always plays it safe. In my professional life as a public relations "fixer", and in my personal life, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Really, who needs the wild highs and the I-want-to-die-because-he-left-me lows of a relationship? At least, that's what I thought...until I met HIM. Damian No-Last-Name-Given is sexy as sin, and I'd developed some kind of weird, instant attraction to him the moment he settled his chiseled body next to mine on a flight from London to Los Angeles.

Featured Article: From Sweet to Steamy, Here Are Our Picks for the Best Black Romance Authors
Romance is a vast genre, but there is still a comparatively small number of Black authors working within it. But stories by Black authors are essential—their viewpoints, their art, and their experiences should be uplifted, celebrated, and widely listened to. Here are some of our favorite Black romance authors who are making their mark in the field. No matter what kind of romance fiction tugs at your heartstrings, there’s something to fall in love with in this list.
The boy next door
While I was initially skeptical about a male narrator giving voice to an interracial romance, Rupert Channing’s British purr is the perfect fit for this sexy story. Ruth is a reclusive web comic designer with autism who has alienated almost everyone in small town Ravenswood. Evan is ex-military (read: buff), new to town and moves in next door. Despite her hostility toward him, Evan is completely intrigued by his new neighbor and cooks his way into her heart—and her bed—one shepherd’s pie at a time. A Girl Like Her is a delightful treat you’ll likely devour in one sitting like I did. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Forty-five, recently divorced and a certified hot mess. The last thing Fiona needs to start her vacation is a flooded hotel room and a broken-down car. Alas, that’s what she gets. She’s ready to pack it all in and go home - wherever that is - when her knight in a wet T-shirt strides in to save the day. Jaw-dropping, panty-melting Grant Greene takes the 'mess' out of 'certified hot mess' when he walks up to Fiona and offers her a room to stay. No strings attached. Great, right?

Historia
The summer I graduated from high school, I raced out of my small Virginian town to seek my culinary dreams in the big city. I couldn't afford New York City, though, so I settled in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love wasn't The Big Apple, but it had its charms and pockets of culinary splendor. I hadn't minded because it was only temporary. After culinary school, I planned to do as I'd been dying to do since I was a little girl and roam the earth and splurge on its fruits. More than five years later, I was still in Philly.

Benjamin Chase is not my type. He's abrasive. He's arrogant. He doesn't take anything seriously. I'd die before I dated him, but he has something different in mind. He has to get married in the next nine months, or he loses his company to his ex-wife. And apparently I'm the most eligible bachelorette in town.

Historia
From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story. The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea. I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.) Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no. Turns out no isn't an option.

Kady Dresco and Colton Brooks click on a level that defies logic. There are only two problems. One, he's her older brother's irritating best friend, and two, they're bidding on the same military security services contract. When the competition heats up, Colton is torn between wanting to strangle Kady (and her annoying brilliance) and kissing her into submission. Which is a bad idea for a million reasons, because Kady's submission is exactly what he craves.

Ok
I think describing Ruth as rude and disrespectful is wrong. Her autism makes her a bit terse but not necessarily rude. She’d been verbally abused for years by many people so if she did have an attitude about certain things, it’s understandable.

Grumpy, neurodiverse heroine and pining blacksmith
This was a sweet, slow burn romance between an ostracized black woman on the autism spectrum and a new-to-town blacksmith who compulsively feeds his neighbors. I enjoyed watching their relationship unfold, and loved their friends and family.
Ruth Kabbah writes web comics, prefers to wear pajamas at all times and has retreated from the social scene of her small town. She’s obviously on the wrong side of the town’s ruling family and can be blunt to the point of rudeness. It’s obvious Kennedy Ryan has personal experience with autism because Ruth feels very authentic.
Newcomer Evan has retired from the military and taken a blacksmithing job in Rachel’s small town. He is, in fact, her new neighbor. Evan’s mum died of cancer and felt it was very important to be kind to others. To honor her, and because he’s got a caretaker personality, Evan likes to cook for friends, neighbors and people he thinks need a little help. He’s decided Ruth must be an elderly shut in, since he never sees her leave, so he brings her a Shepard’s pie. When he finds out she lives on instant noodles, he insists on dropping off dinner regularly. This evolves into a standing friendly dinner date.
Evan is warned off Ruth and her protective older sister, by his boss’s smarmy son. There is obviously some sort of history. Evan hears a lot of gossip and eventually gets Ruth to trust him enough to share the details.
Ruth was in a long term secret relationship with the smarmy son, who was verbally, physically and sexually abusive. The details are not too graphic. I loved watching Ruth realize that insulating herself from life wasn’t really protecting her, it was giving her power away. I loved watching her start to speak up for herself and to be open to friendship and romance. And I loved that she faces down her own bullies without being rescued by Evan. He supports her but doesn’t rescue her.
There’s a lot of good stuff in here about racism, ableism, stereotypes, parental influence, self esteem, healthy boundaries and love of all kinds.
I was disappointed that we didn’t get to see Evan’s growth as much as Ruth’s. At the beginning, he says he spent the last eleven years with acquaintances and fuck buddies, because he was too distanced by grief over loosing his mother to cancer. He mentions wanting to be more vulnerable with his friend Zach, who’s mother has cancer, but we don’t get to see those conversations. It’s obvious they happen, because he talks about what good friends they’ve become, but it’s more telling than showing. Evan does have many excellent conversations with Ruth tho, as they navigate their relationship as it changes from friends to lovers. Once that happens, it gets fairly steamy.
I thought the narrator did a good job and I look forward to the next book in the series.

This Series is Really Good but It's a Bit Odd
I had to try twice to listen to this book. I had high expectations from the summary of the story, but there is something a bit odd about this book that makes it take a bit to get into the story.
I listened all the way through and it was a pleasurable "easy read". The story is simple with mild challenges throughout. I liked the characters, but I still don't know why this story has a different feel. Overall, it's a book to listen to or read when you don't want to get caught up in a complex story with heavy emotions and drama. My thanks to the author!

A Love Story - plain and simple
Don't laugh, but I chose this book because I thought the female was going to be a witch 😂 I only read fantasy novels so I'm not sure how this ended up on my recommendation list. But, I can say that it worked out well as I listened to it over Valentine's Day while I finished some boring reports for work.
Fast break down: Boy meets girls, flirts with girl, makes girl feel safe and special, girl and boy do the naked tango, and then happily ever after. If you are here for just a love story then you'll be quite happy. If you prefer your romance stories messy and complicated then you might not get what your looking for here.
As for the story, I found it simple and charming. It's like vanilla ice cream 🍧. Most of the time you want more bang for your buck, but there isn't anything wrong with an old fashioned plain Jane story every blue moon. This is simply a love story. There is no flare, no dramatic deaths or action scenes. And the ending was very much goodie-two-shoe and gum drops 😒😒😒
In any genre I read I hate instant love at first sight. This comes really close. Rather than interest at first sight, it would have been nice for Ruth to rub him the wrong way and then they slowly began to understand each other.
This is about an interracial relationship but that is never brought up between the two main characters. Only once does Evan even hint to acknowledging that Ruth is black. I felt both good and curious about how the author approached this. In a way, it is what we non-racist people want to achieve. Love who you want and let race not be a factor in deciding what makes you happy. However, the book is set in present day and so you would think it would be more at the forefront rather than her weight and cooking disability... lol I like. She has a cooking disability.
In addition, Ruth has mild form of autism. Though Evan seems to handle some of her characteristics well, there isn't any mention of him researching what to expect or having experience because of a family member. I'm not well versed on the different ranges of autism so I wanted to know more information on how it affects their relationships both family and personal.
The cover... smh...My first thought when I met the main character, Ruth, was about the cover art. Why does the cover have a women with short hair and the book describes her with coily (natural) hair that she keeps in one long braid??? Nor does the guy look as described. This was either a lazy publisher or a terrible artist depending on the circumstances. Either way, neither of them took the time to actually read their clients material thoroughly enough.
I was a little taken aback by the narrators voice when the book first started. His voice sounds as it belongs reading one of my beloved Epic Fantasies about dragons and mages. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to enjoy him. Once Evan and Ruth start their banter on comics, I started to relax into his voice a bit more. He doesn't have a wide range of characters voices but he had a nice reading voice and gave the story a calm tone that I think would match Evans personality.
3 Stars 🌟🌟🌟- Good Book. I like the overall concept and it was delivered well. Most common ranking for a book I enjoyed and look forward to the next. I won't rush to the next one, but it's on my list for a future read when the mood is right.

Offbeat and utterly enjoyable story and characters
This is a story about a black woman living in small, insular town in England. She is on the autism spectrum, and has a bad reputation in the town. Her go to response to stress is to tell people to eff off and she stays at home rather than deal with the negative comments from the townsfolk. A handsome and kind man moves in next door to her, and they become friends. He's all about doing the right thing, and when he realizes that Ruth has no stove, Evan begins to cook for her. As time passes, he becomes very attracted to her, but he has to fight through her defenses and and prove to Ruth that he's not out to use or hurt her. Ruth meanwhile, needs to learn to be proud of who she is and get over some devastating experiences from her past.
I loved this story, was very invested in these characters, and enjoyed the journey they had to take to get to their HEA. Ruth and Evan are ordinary working class folks, no billionaires here. He's alone in the world, and served in the Army for several years. Ruth has a sister and mother that she's close to, but no friends. This love affair is a joy to watch develop, and they really earned their happiness.
The narration is perfection, and the story is written in third person so there is one omniscient 'voice', which I prefer. Rupert Channing is the ideal reader for this series. Can't wait for the next book!

Was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it
the narrator deserves serious kudos!!!
the author does a wonderful job of articulating the world as experienced by a high functioning autistic mind.
