About this audiobook
Rhynn is done being an overworked software engineer; she's going to art school. Unfortunately, in her very first class she gets partnered with a man who thinks she's a waste of his time.
Kostya has been admitted to study glassmaking in a prestigious program, going against the wishes of his father, who wants him to work at the family's investment firm. He can't believe he's been partnered with a woman whose first sketch is basically just computer icons. But it's Rhynn who follows her passion for wildlife painting to a gritty summer working a fishing boat in Alaska, while Kostya hides from the family confrontation he knows is coming.
When Rhynn and Kostya meet again, they're drawn together, until Rhynn finds out that Kostya has done something that jeopardizes the life she's creating for herself. In order to make amends for what he has cost her, Kostya must face all his own fears and see himself and Rhynn in a whole new light.
Iris Forester blends fine art with hard labor in this roller-coaster romance between two artists who must overcome others' discrimination and their own preconceptions to put their hands on what really matters.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It wasn't well plotted out, nor was it well narrated. The story itself was okay, but there was almost more complaining about all her encounters with male chauvinists (nearly every man in the story) than about the couple themselves. I couldn't wait to get done with it... I actually sped it up to get past all the unnecessary to finish the actual story.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Another awfully narrated book. The narrator read with such a speed and zero feeling that i couldn't bear to listen past the 1st chapter.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The story is intriguing but ruined by the narrator: monotonous and rushed.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Not for me
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story is a beautiful one, very compelling. The biggest drawback was the reader and the chapter changes. They weren’t breaks, no pause between the end of one and beginning of the next. This is the first time I wish I’d read the book instead of listening to it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful story that was well narrated. How can I find more of her books? I want to read them all
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fun and quite entertaining. Enjoyed the characters and the novel.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Such a great short story. Would've loved it if there was more scenes of the couple being a couple.
