Love CB's writing style and stories❣️

I absolutely love CB's writing style and stories. I really like how she writes about 2 imperfect, guilt- ridden people who find healing in an old friendship. I especially love that CB writes about my hometown (Seattle).
Each series builds upon the last with characters and storylines, but it isn't necessarily required to read each series in order.
With Jason Clarke, Brooke Bloomingdale, and Ava Erickson, the narration could not be better!

Until Next Time

I can always count on Claudia Burgoa to deliver an entertaining, fun, and often funny read.

I really liked following Zach and Autumn's journey together. They had great chemistry and a strong connection from early on. Both had struggles, but found something special with each other. It was nice, too, seeing Zach with Autumn's daughter Matilda.

This is one of my favorites from Claudia and I can't wait for more of this series!

next time

what a lovely story. funny, quirky, and romantic. I love stories with children. they make the story better. love the second time around makes you more understanding.

Sweet and Swoony Romance!!

Until Next Time was a sweet and swoony second chance romance that made my heart squeeze in all the best ways. I loved that this romance explores a couple who have both lost someone in past, and learn to love and trust again with each other. Zach and Autumn have faced so many challenges in the past, and I fell in love with their journey to find a HEA together.

This audio is narrated by Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson with Brooke Bloomingdale. Jason and Ava were swoony perfection in this audio. In Jason's performance, you could feel Zach's conflicted emotions and deep desires as he finally accepted what he really wanted and needed in his life. (So dreamy!) Ava embodies Autumn in her performance emphasizing her doubts, fears and wants as she strives to do what is best for herself and her daughter. Their chemistry was magnetic!!

Overall, I loved this audio, and I look forward to more from the St. James Family and Claudia Burgoa.

Cuteness overload!

Oh em gee. Zach and Autumn have such a sweet story but Matilda though. She is so adorable! This one packs all the cuteness… laugh out loud moments, all up in your feels and just overall another exceptional Claudia Burgoa book. This is another memorable one, the author is always giving us unforgettable reads.

A very special story with wonderful narration

AUDIO REVIEW
What a great start to the new, Against All Odds: St James Family Series from Claudia Y. Burgoa.
I have to say this is a go to author for me and I was excited when I heard she was writing a new series but nothing could prepare me for Zach and Autumn’s roller coaster of a journey. This is an emotional yet entertaining read, it’s raw and at times your heart will break but as you go through all the emotions this couple feel you will find yourself making new friends you won’t forget.
The narration team of Jason Clarke, Ava Erickson and Brooke Bloomingdale did a wonderful job bringing this family to life and they were spot on with every emotion felt throughout this wonderful listen.
Until Next Time is a very special read, it’s beautifully written but what took this story to another level is that it’s written from the heart and as you watch these characters grow you will see exactly what I mean. But let’s not forget single mum Autumn’s daughter Matilda who only wants her mum to be happy and at times this adorable little girl stole the show with her classic one liners.
If this book is anything to go by Ms Burgoa will certainly have another hit series on her hands and I can’t wait to see where we are taken with the rest of the St James family.

Modern Day Superman to save the day.

I was so excited to listen to this story because it is performed by two of my favorite narrators and they did not disappoint.
I really really enjoyed this story.
Autumn and Zach reconnect after years of no contact. Zach used to be very good friend's with Autumn's brother but they lost touch. Both Autumn and Zach have tragedies that have left them widowed and they can empathize with each other's loss.
The hidden star of this book is Matilda, Autumn's daughter.
She is the one that inadvertently gets them back together.
I'll admit. A lot of this story feels over the top, but I really enjoyed the laughs and romantic gestures.

EPILOGUE ME PLSSSS!!!!

This is my first read from this author. I loved it and can’t wait to read more. Only thing I was disappointed with is the fact that there’s no epilogue. The author takes us on this journey of two ppl coming together n finding love after losing their partners. Only to end it with just a proposal. I’m one of those readers who loves a good epilogue. I wanna know details of the happily ever after. How many kids do they have? What career does Autumn choose? Does Matilda start calling Zach dad? Does Aiden n his wife end up having kids? Do they all become one big family? It just leaves me questioning things. I hope we get answers throughout the series. Though I would’ve enjoyed it more if those answers came at the end of this book. So that when i jump to the next sibling it’s their story I focus on. Aside from that this book left me feeling happy and warm. It was a good read

Loved it - Great story and great narration

Having read numerous books by Claudia Burgoa I was excited when I learnt about this series and couldn’t wait to dive in. From the first chapter to the last I felt as though I was on an emotional roller coaster of a ride.
Until Next Time is an emotional, extremely well written story that ticked all the boxes for me. There is so much heart and soul in this book that my review is brief. My emotions were all over the place and there were times that my heart almost broke for all that Zach and Autumn have been through. This is a book which is at times, sad but it is the love and family that really shines through and takes it t another level.
The narration by Jason Clarke, Ava Erickson and Brooke Bloomingdale was spot on for the characters in my opinion and they all did a wonderful job in bringing the characters they portrayed to life for me. Their voices are easy to listen to and I couldn’t help but be drawn into their performances.
This is one book that I highly recommend you read. It is the first in her latest St James Family series and if this book is anything to go by, then she has a winning series on her hand.

sweet and steamy perfection!

Claudia writes the most perfect combination of sweet amd steamy romance. I'm teary eyed over Zach and Autumn (and Matilda!!).

This book shows you that sometimes there is a greater plan, we may not understand it in the midst of loss, but there is one.

Zach is stricken by grief stemmed by guilt after his wife dies; Autumn is in survival mode after her husband dies in a tragic accident leaving her a single mom.

SO. MANY.FEELS FOR THIS COUPLE!!

Jason Clark and Ava Erickson along with Brooke Bloomingdale complete this beautiful love story!
