Some things are easily forgiven. Other things...not so much. Lenny DeMaio made herself a promise: She was done. Done thinking about him. Done worrying about him. Done reaching out to a man who clearly didn’t want to be found. Too bad no one gave Jonah Collins the memo.

Story
Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing. With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she’s made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to. But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can’t find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he’s not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.

Story
If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time. How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard.

Story
Of all the things that could have landed in her yard, it had to be him. For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true. Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it’s the exact opposite. Especially when he’s grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon. But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to. Even if it compromises everything you know. And totally changes your life.

Story
Some days, all you need is a message from a stranger. Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional. Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect. What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy.

If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

Aurora De La Torre, or Ora to her friends, knows moving back to Pagosa Springs, Colorado, a place that was once home and is now full of bittersweet memories of her late mother, isn’t going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn’t supposed to be. But after breaking up with her longtime famous musician boyfriend, hiding out in a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord who lives across the driveway just might cure it, too. Only Tobias Rhodes didn’t rent out the apartment to her, rather it was his teenage son, Amos.

The thankless job of personal assistant to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans for her life, and none of them include washing extra-large underwear one more day for a man who could never find it in him to tell her good morning, congratulate her on a job well done, or wish her a happy birthday—even when she was spending it working for him.

I shouldn't have agreed to this. What was I thinking? Appearing on a local news show? Just because something happened to me? But here I am. And then I walked past his room. He's a giant—no softness, all muscle. And a rich beard that made me want to rub myself all over it. He made me see stars, literally, because the second time I saw him, I tripped. Or I would've, but he caught me, and the cameras were rolling. Soon, that clip will be trending because he wasn't just another guest on the show. He's Brett Broudou, the Kings' newest football star.

He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare. So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

I asked for his criteria for bed buddies - that's the PG version. He swore at me and said he didn’t do groupies. And just like that, our friendship was off to a great start. Reese Forster was the starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder. Gorgeous. Cocky. Loved by the nation. He’s also attending preseason basketball training camp where I used to work.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Twenty-six-year-old Gaby Barreto might be a lot of things (loyal, sarcastic, one of the guys, and a pain in the butt, depending on which family member you ask), but dumb isn't one of them. When her twin brother invites her to go on tour as his band's merch girl, she isn't exactly screaming at the top of her lungs with joy. But with no job opportunities pounding on her door, an ex-boyfriend she would still like to castrate, and no end in sight to moving out of her parents' house in Dallas, it would be dumb to say no to the chance of a lifetime.

Narration problem
- By Amazon Customer on 2018-12-16
Written by: Mariana Zapata
Publisher's Summary
Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack".
Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.)
She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.
Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.

Loved it, Hands Down!
The amount of times I wanted to scream at Zac and scream at Bianca was endless...but Mariana is the master of a slow burn and the miscommunications!
Callie and Chris did an amazing job of narrating.

Awwwwww…. Love me some BIG Texas
I’m so excited this book was done on audio!! Callie Dalton and Chris Brinkley did an amazing job!! I’ve wanted to hear Zac’s story for so long. I fell in awe with him in The Wall of Winnipeg book! But this book made me love this Texan even more!! This story had some unexpected twists and turns. But these two are so good together and REAL!! I loved all the silliness and love these two friends shared. They may have been distant for a really long time but fate brings them back together and one thing leads to another. Mariana Zapata knows how to write a slow burn……. I do like books where things are happening right away but these slow burns make you anticipate the moment it all finally happens!! Loved it!!

Worth the wait!
Hands Down’s audio release was postponed due to all the complications of 2020. It was definitely worth the wait! Callie Dalton is perfect as Bianca, and Chris Brinkley’s voice is perfect as Zac.
If you like age gap romance, friends-to-lovers, and slow burn - this is one you’ll enjoy. There’s lovely secondary characters, great banter and fun “when will they realize how much they care” energy built up through the whole book.
There’s a few clunky bits - the way the “why the MCs lost touch” storyline develops feels a little forced, and it’s a very convenient moment when there’s a bed when needed- they’re easy to overlook.

Boring and random
There was so much random stuff going on in this story I was bored or lost most of the time. Trying to gather critical facts I’d often have to go back and listen over and over to get them out of the never ending pointless dialog of the female lead. Hard to get through. The end was nice but I’d never listen to this again.

Disappointing follow-up to “Wall of Winnipeg”
I really enjoyed “Wall of Winnipeg”- I’ve listened to it three times- and liked Zac’s character a lot, so I thought I would enjoy “Hands Down”. Unfortunately, I found Bianca’s inner dialogue far too repetitive and there wasn’t enough going on in the storyline to help me push through all of the variations of “I have forgiven him: I’m going to forgive him”. I liked Callie Dalton’s narration and didn’t think having a male narrator for Zac’s parts was necessary, but I got used to the switches quickly. This title is a return for me.

Wa wa waaa……felt flat
Waited for the audio on this book as her last book(the best thing) was not my favourite and I thought her audiobooks are fantastic I will wait. I love Mariana zapata so this pains me. Bianca was all over the place, it was really hard to connect with her. I felt like everything happened vaguely. They would occasionally mention her parents who were awful parent but did lot to help less fortunate countries I am not even sure what they did other then abandon their child…children?? There would a problem and then poof it randomly solved with little relevance to the nonexistent plot. The narration was good.
