Perfect!

I love Nikki Ash's books, and No Strings was no exception. No String is one of the best single dad/friends-to-lovers standalone romances I've read or listened to in a long while. It's wonderfully written with the perfect balance of heartfelt emotions, sweetness, drama, passion, and steam. It was impossible not to be completely enthralled by Benjamin and Savannah's journey. Savannah and Benjamin's story sprang from friendship with an undeniable connection, evolving into something beautiful, founded on affection, trust, understanding, love, and ultimately family. Brody, Benjamin's teenage son, played a part in the evolution of their relationship. No Strings was all-consuming, and I loved every minute of it.

The audiobook is narrated by two incredibly talented voice artists, Michael Gallagher and Sarah Puckett. Both narrators were believable and authentic in their roles. They flawlessly captured the nuances of personalities, emotions, connection, and chemistry, bringing the characters to life. No Strings was a marvellous listen, one I'm highly recommending.

My Thoughts on No Strings

Nikki Ash did a fantastic job with this story. It was supposed to be the kind of relationship the title of the book indicates. The no strings attached kind. Two people who have different reasons for being relationship adverse but are extremely, undeniably attracted to each other give in to their attraction and decide to have a no strings attached relationship. But from the very beginning things were not a typical no strings type of situation. And both characters should have known things would get messy soon. However, all the complications and mess and layers of the story are just parts of what made it so good. I was hooked and didn’t want to stop listening.
From the very beginning after meeting both main characters I was invested in their story. Savannah a.k.a. Savvy was just coming out of a broken marriage with a cheating husband and trying to start anew. I was certainly rooting for her not only because of the crappy way that her marriage came to an end, but also just because I am a fan of a person not just allowing the bad things that happen in their lives to completely dictate the course of their future. I was proud of her from the start for taking charge and taking a chance. Benjamin was in all honesty kind of a surprisingly likable guy even at first meeting. I respected his honesty even though it would have been easy to find ways or things to dislike about him. Like him being an admitted womanizer, commitment-phobic, and the whole situation with his ex and children. But it was the fact that he made no secret about his feelings on any of it that I liked. It was the people around him who didn’t want to listen to his words. Then again when he met Savvy, of course everything changed. And I enjoyed listening to that change develop and unfold over the course of the story.
It was also fantastically brought to life by two incredible narrators. I thought that Sarah Puckett was a great choice for Savvy with her being a southern girl and just lending an excellent emotion and sass to this fantastically written character. Michael Gallagher as well was able to pull off the gruff dominating CEO as well as the compassionate father and friend with benefits and brother and son and all the other hats Benjamin had to wear so seamlessly. After listening to this story not only would I not hesitate to pick up another book by this author, but I also would not hesitate to listen to another romance narrated by either of these two talented performers. 🎧The Flock🎧

It has everything I like.
Single Dad

XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX. (Yes it's censored to avoid spoilers)
The relationship between Savi and both of the Field's boys is everything. I love that the relationship forms with the son before the dad.
Overall highly recommend it!

Wonderful single dad book!

I loved how this single dad troupe book was different. First off the child is a teenager and Brody steals the show in this book IMO.

Savannah has recently moved town and is about to embark in a new position. While acquaintances herself in her new home befriends Brody in the workout room. There relationship is one that flourished and help each of grow. It amazed me that Brody accepted Savvy’s advice when he so needed it and he was the best cheerleader for his dad’s budding relationship with Savvy too!

Sarah had me laughing at Savvy’s sassy, unique ways. From her taking over the treadmill in Uggs in full makeup, to her nurturing Brody and being able to guide him through his changes in where he now lives with his dad Benjamin. I loved when she walks into Ben’s meetings and says what’s on her mind. Savvy’s one character that will have me smiling ear to ear when I think of her.

Michael is funny, serious and believable as Brody’s Dad Benjamin. He sure helped me see how stuffy Ben was sent packing after Savvy gets him to relax. We hear such emotion from exasperation with Ben’s dealing with the treadmill stealer😂 and Brody’s lack of ambition for school and his ex. To his heart opening up to a future with Savvy. And shows us the growth of character with Brody too.

Really enjoyed this standalone from Nikki Ash on an old troupe of a single dad done in a way that made it fresh again and just made me smile.

Oh this book got me into so much trouble (not really I just got an eye roll and a you mean you did nothing today but listened to a book?) I had so much planned to do today and thought. What better than to put on this amazing sounding book to liven up cleaning and gardening.

Instead I was captivated and transported to Nikki Ash’s world with her characters who stole my heart so quickly and their troubles and successes. This was just an amazing book, the narration was spot on and I only wish I could listen to it again for the first time.

LOVED

Michael Gallagher and Sarah Puckett did an excellent job with the narration.

Ben is single dad to a 14 year old son, but wasn’t really part of his life until he starts acting out in school. Ben moves back to the city and his son Brody moves in. Savy who divorced her cheating husband and has written off men and relationships too. Ben and Savy are instantly attracted to each other but have sworn to a “No Strings” arrangement. Loved Ben's teenage son Brody! The story has drama and twists and turns.

Loved the Story and the Characters!!

No Strings was a cute and sweet friends to lovers romance. Savannah finds herself starting over in a new city after being betrayed by her husband and her best friend. Shortly after moving to New York, she meets Ben. He is hard-working, owning several businesses, and recently his son moved in with him so he is adjusting to being a full-time father.

Ben and Savannah form a friendship quickly. They are polar opposites in a lot of ways, but their banter and friendship is easy. In addition, Savannah and Ben's son, Brody, were also quick to bond. The more time Savannah and Ben spent together, the more their relationship evolved, until Ben offers up a no strings casual sexual relationship. It does get tricky given how much their lives have been tied together since meeting.

I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. I really liked both main characters as well as Brody. It was clear from the start how much these three people belonged together and how well Savannah fit into Brody and Ben's lives. I liked how Savannah balanced out Ben's more serious nature. I think Michael Gallagher and Sarah Puckett did a fantastic job with the narration of this story. They were both very pleasant to listen to. I would definitely recommend both them and this book. #TheFlock #PinkFlamingoProductions

romance and more

I not only loved the main romance story, but i liked that the author also included very delicate real life issues in the story. very well written. never boring. great characters and the narration was also very good. Michael Gallagher has one of the best voices ever.

Made for each other

Savannah and Ben were made for each other. Savannah is starting her life all over again after a betrayal when she gets a very good job opportunity in NYC. She moves in with her best friend and she meets Ben a single father who has just taken over the primary care of raising his son Brody. Ben and Savannah have these moments that you know eventually will lead them to being together but what I like most about this book was Savannah’s effect she had on Brody and his relationship with a Ben. This was the first book I have listened to,or,read, unthinking author and I am now a new fan. The narration was wonderful.

Good Listen

Ben was not looking for a relationship but here comes Savanah. She caught his attention and he wanted a no strings relationship. His son met her first and was the only one that he would talk to. Now Ben wants more and he has to convince Savanah that he is serious and will always be there.
