I didn't see that coming...

I finished Park Avenue Player emotionally rung out and convinced this was the best Penelope Ward/Vi Keeland story I've ever read/listened to. I was on a high, feeling the love and completely mushy gushy. My review was going to be EPIC because I needed to share all of my feels.

Then, the high wore off and I started to think...


Why are the characters always so bloody beautiful and perfect? He's gorgeous with lots of money and a great job. She's beautiful, quirky and strong. Don't tell me, beautiful people struggle with relationships too? I'm shocked!!

Why does the hero have to try to get the heroine out of his system with someone else? I think this is a bit of a recurring thing when it comes to these millionaire/billionaire heroes. They have to have one more attempt at being emotionally unavailable before they let feelings get involved. And, they always get caught and it breaks my heart...I mean, the heroine's heart.

Why is it OK to emotionally manipulate people just because the character is sick? One of the additional characters manipulated the couple to an outcome of her making. Just because you're sick, doesn't give you the right to mess with peoples lives.


I still really enjoyed Park Avenue Player despite those little issues. The storyline kept my attention from start to finish, the narrators do an amazing job bringing this story to life, and the romance ended up being sweet, sexy and swoon-worthy. I will definitely be back for more from this duo in the future.
