About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Ashley comes the new book in her River Rain series, Making the Match.

Decades ago, tennis superstar Tom Pierce and “it girl” Mika Stowe met at a party.

Mika fell in love. Tom was already in love with his wife. As badly as Tom wanted Mika as a friend, Mika knew it would hurt too much to be attracted to this amazing man and never be able to have him.

They parted ways for what they thought would be forever, only to reconnect just once, when unspeakable tragedy darkens Mika’s life.

Years later, the impossible happens.

A time comes when they’re both unattached.

But now Tom has made a terrible mistake. A mistake so damaging to the ones he loves, he feels he’ll never be redeemed.

Mika has never forgotten how far and how fast she fell when she met him, but Tom’s transgression is holding her distant from reaching out.

There are matchmakers in their midst, however.

And when the plot has been unleashed to make that match, Tom and Mika are thrown into an international intrigue that pits them against a Goliath of the sports industry.

Now they face a massive battle at the same time they’re navigating friendship, attraction, love, family, grief, redemption, two very different lives lived on two opposite sides of a continent and a box full of kittens.

Awesome book

I adore this series. I love the characters, the humour, the drama, and the intriguing storylines . Of all the books I think this is one of my favourites. I didn’t expect that all. But Tom’s story was everything, it made you understand him and hurt for him too. As always awesome narration too.

Last in the series but I’m hopeful for more.

Excellent series, so good I listened to them all back to back. First book is included with Audible.
Hints at the end that we might be hearing about more of the characters in another book in the series, fingers crossed.

2nd chance, steamy romance.

I’m loving this series. Mika (a interest artist full of attitude and independence) and Tom (professional tennis player turn commentator and sports doctor) first met when he was happily married and totally devoted to the mother of his 3 children. They connected but never even became friends due to their attraction and that they couldn’t go there. Lots happens in both their lives and they rekindle their connection much later on when they are both available. Their story includes lots of povs and the participation of their friends and family members. There are side plots too. All in all it’s interesting, steamy, sweet, unputdownable.
The narration was perfection, Wesley Paul and Jennifer Mack were outstanding and made you feel it all.
