About this listen

Some days, all you need is a message from a stranger.

Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional.

Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect.

What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy.

Ruron

loved the start of it, their friendship. very slow at stages. really put out by the change from Teddy Hamiltons voice to Callie Daltons male voice. while I like both separately they did nt fit the image of Aaron as they were so different.
the ending was very abrupt. but I LOVED the characters very much.

Loved



Mariana Zapata can literally do no wrong!! I have loved every one of her books that I have read, fallen head over heels in love with them, been left with book hangovers that can’t be cured and I am here for it each and every one of them.

Can I also add that not only have I read this book, I listened to it on audiobook ( Callie Dalton and Teddy Hamilton are the BEST narrators ) I’ve done the same for a few of her books and Callie Dalton never fails.

Okay so this is a slow burn, totally filled with banter, cute moments, almost all of the book is letters or emails between them and I totally loveeee that!

Our two leads are Aaron (obviously) and Ruby, they just get each other, perfectly made for each other and no matter how far part they are the chemistry can be felt!

Aaron is in the army, has been for 11 years he didn’t know what he wanted to do with his life he just knew he wanted to be more than the family business. He is down right handsome, so funny, filled with banter and wit. Protective and cute, I couldn’t get enough of him. He doesn’t realise how much he needs Ruby’s letters until they start coming. She makes him smile and laugh more than he ever has. He’s just gotten out of a bad relationship so at first he is unsure if he wants the connection but Ruby can not be denied, she doesn’t quit.
Can he trust enough to open up his heart again?
He thinks he’s done with relationships but will Ruby totally blow that thought away?

Ruby is totally adorable and awkward in the best way! I love her personality so much and to add to that she is beautiful even if she doesn’t believe it (when she thinks her mum and sister are the stunners of the family) she’s ‘Just Ruby’. She is matched with Aaron in the program that sends letters or emails to soldiers over seas. She continues to write even when he isn’t replying, determined not to give up and give him some light from home.
She has had her heart broken by the person she’s been in love with her whole life, everyone knows she loves him but no one knows what happened between them. The classic big brothers best friend..
Her heart was not ready for Aaron.. she is determined not to make the same mistake again, falling in love with someone who can’t love her back.

I swooned, I laughed and I loved!

Cute story…

Absolutely adored Ruby and Aaron’s love story and how well Mariana Zapata developed the characters and their relationship but somehow I felt there was something missing which is why I’m rating it 4 instead of 5. However, it is still a very good book.

Love love love!

I loved this book. Loved it!! The story, the characters, the way it was written, everything! I do wish that all of Aaron’s parts in the audiobook had been read by the man and not just the texts/emails but other than that, it was perfect. 😍

Love love love

I’ve become a massive fan of Marianas audiobooks this year, I’ve listened to them all now. I left this one until last because I wasn’t sure if I would be as engrossed as the first half of the book is messages sent between the 2 main characters. Teddy and Callie made this a pleasure to listen to.
It was great to see the developing relationship between Aaron and Ruby, there were some real LOL moments. Also Ruby is the older sister of Jasmine in the Lukov book, which is one of my favourites.
Love how MZ weaves in characters from other books of hers, it feels like we are catching up with old friends.
Callie and Teddy did a fantastic job at narration, they put so much feeling into it.
My only gripe…. I wish we could experience more of their HEA, but I’m greedy like that 😋

i loved every single bit

different from the other books.. i truly loved it. great format and the readers are perfect. i wish Teddy was more involved in the second part just because he is gorgeous, but hey, can't have it all. i see what other ppl are saying about the ending, but that 4 min epilogue gives u a clear view of what happens next. this book goes up to my top 5.

I love a slow burn book

I've read this book before but always wondered if I would enjoy it better on audio because of the back and forth messages that feature so heavily in this one. I was right.
