✴️ REVIEW ✴️

NOT IN A BILLION YEARS: True Love Bk 1 by #CamillaIsley, narrated by #GregMillerBurns & #StephanieCannon 3.5🌟

Funny & entertaining - a good time filler

Book cover

Title: Not in a Billion Years

Author: Camilla Isley

*****Book review*****

>Duck Pics<

This is definitely funny at the start. Blake Avery and Gabriel (MGM [Mighty Gabriel Mercer]) Mercer are from different worlds and have an interesting non-meet-cute that has me laughing.

-- Book quote
“Your family is in the fitness arena, and you don’t know who I am? First rule of business, always study the competition.”
-- Gabriel Mercer

MGM and Blake provide a relatively low-key romance with some heat that skitters into darkness and drama. It's a tad over-the-top with hints of love bombing. I will say that MGM's practically feral responses in a couple of situations are entertaining.

The supporting characters are wonderful. From Thomas's brotherly challenges to Marissa's advice to the resourcefulness of their respective admins and love and support from their families. They are a good support system to have and add extra love to the book.

I borrowed the audio book. This is my first time listening to the narrators, Stephanie Cannon and Greg Miller Burns. I really like both as their respective characters. Duet would've been awesome, but I still enjoyed them. 🎧🩷🎧

Story: 3.5 stars
Narration: 3.5 stars
Listening Speed: 1.8x

H = 33; h = 26

>TROPES & TRIGGERS:<
💫 Billionaire Romance
💫 She's a billionaire, too 😍
💫 RomCom / Dramedy
💫 Old vs new money
💫 Cheating Ex
💫 He (thinks he) knows best
💫 Slow burn
💫 Fade to black scenes
