    About this audiobook

    Erin Doyle can't stand manwhores, and she particularly can't stand Brendan Langstrom-the guy who avoids relationships like the plague and never sleeps with the same girl twice. She and Brendan have waged a war of mutual disdain for years, but when Brendan picks up the pieces after her world unravels, they'll be forced to admit that beneath their dislike is something else entirely-something they're not supposed to feel. Because Brendan isn't just her nemesis . . . He's also her fiance's best friend.

    Contains mature themes.

      There were some really funny and sweet parts to this story. But I had a really hard time with how utterly ridiculous the main characters behaved. Erin especially was a basket case and contradicted every one of her own thoughts and actions. There were a lot of untruths about addiction and Catholicism. Also, the most annoying part was the the audio stopped/skipped several times throughout the book. There were probably 20 times the last word (or what I can only assume and hope was the last word) of a chapter got cut off in the middle so it was hard to know if we were missing any parts.

      Interesting all the way, love the story. 4 stars because it was a little to long.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this story. I do hate when it's repeated by the characters in a million different ways of how they can't be together, it will never happen, and so on. You think they are finally being together one minute, and then the next, it's like it didn't happen. I find myself with whiplash. It's really annoying. So many authors do that, and it sucks the life out of the story. We know people obsess with thoughts. In a story, just as in real life, I personally don't want to hear about it again and again. If it was a real person, i would probably find an escape. I have my limits.

      This particular book did not appeal to me… unlike Saving olivia… this really seems to be a book that young adults would enjoy.. not my age group. This author is one of my favorites
    • 5/5
      Erin Doyle has been having vivid dreams of her fiance's best friend, Brendan. Dreams she knows she should not be having as Brendan and her are not on the very best of terms. In the very early stages of her relationship with her fiance, Rob, she kissed someone. That someone was none other than Brendan. Since then, Brendan has been doing everything he could to stop Rob from moving in with her or marrying her. Erin has been going through her own turmoil lately as well. She has not been able to set a date for her wedding. The excitement and passion on planning her wedding is just not there. Erin no longer believed in soul mates and love at first sight and she had Brendan to blame for that. Watching Brendan bounce from girl to girl years ago, made her realize what a douche he really was and cured her of any fairy tale fantasies she once had. Erin just can't understand why, after all these years and the hate that she has for him, why he had the power to still make her squirm.

      Brendan Langstrom has been away from the states living in Europe for some time now. Now that he is back, he wants to stay and open up a business in the same area where Erin and Rob live. Rob suggests that Brendan move in to their pool house for the time being until he gets settled. Noticing that it is pissing off Erin, he accepts the offer. Brendan can't put into words what he feels for Erin. He had a short history with her while she was engaged, but nothing ever came of it as he is not the commitment type of kinda guy anyway. Warning Rob to give her up hasn't been working either. Why is he so determined to break them up?

      When Rob goes away on a business trip Erin and Brendan are forced to face their feelings for one another and try to make sense of what went wrong. Erin's life from the outside looks perfect, but it is far from that. While Rob does not see it, Brendan picks up on her emotions and pushes her to face what she truly wants out of life instead of drowning in the "perfect" world she has set up for herself. Can Erin and Brendan ever find the happiness and love that they both deserve or will they continue to make the same mistakes of the past?

      DROWNING ERIN was a highly emotional read for me. You just can't help but really feel for both of the main characters. Elizabeth O'Roarke does a fantastic job by delving deep with one hell of an angsty and drama filled story. I love how the story is in dual perspectives and also alternates from the past to the present. It really gave me a feel for what the main characters have been through, both together and apart and really got into the heart of their problems both in love and in life. Elizabeth O'Roarke really packs you with a powerful punch as she peels back layer after layer of raw emotion leaving both characters vulnerable and exposed. Although this is the first story I have read by Elizabeth O"Roarke, I know it will not be my last. DROWNING ERIN is by far a fantastic read.
