About this listen
Adrianna Rossi is no stranger to the rigorous demands required of her body. Years of pain and determination make her one of the best. Olympic glory is the ultimate goal, and she'll do anything to achieve it. Even if that means leaving home to attend World Cup Academy of Gymnastics, a training center that serves one purpose - producing champions.
Perfection, precision, and dedication are required of his athletes. When two time Olympian Konstantin Kournakova is persuaded into training the young hopeful, he immediately regrets it. She doesn't come close to his high standards. As the relentless pursuit of her dream keeps her striving, a passion is ignited within him.
Kova's power and domination, coupled with Adrianna's fierce tenacity, reveal there is more for her body to learn. Every interaction can be misconstrued, but there’s no mistaking the darkening of his gaze, the lingering of his touch, or the illicit image of his bare skin pressed against hers. Integrity is on the line. One toe off the beam and their forbidden desires could ruin everything they’ve worked for, throwing it all off balance.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

I only wanted one kiss. One kiss, under the dark of night, in a city where no one knew us. One kiss fueled by my hormones and alcohol and the blinding grief over losing my mother. One kiss from the man I told myself was untouchable. But, it didn’t stop at one kiss. And now we are running full speed down a road with no intention of stopping. His touch disarms me. His kiss revives me. But our love could destroy me.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university. One glance from the school’s king blows my plan up in smoke. One glance and he suffocates my air. One glance and he issues his death sentence. His first words spiral my life into irreparable chaos. “I will destroy you.” Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left. I didn’t. I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne.

He was my foster brother. He swore to protect me. He failed. They all failed. I’m an open box of passé photographs, snapped in chaste daylight, but filtered in sepia. I’m the past that he tried to forget, and he was the future I needed. When he left four years ago, I screamed for him every night. But then it all stopped. But he has come back. He’s not the cute big brother I had a furtive crush on, or the bad-boy rich brat that I hated to love. He’s the ruthless vice president of Wolf Pack MC, and he doesn’t answer to Royce Kane anymore. He answers to Sicko.

One kiss from the man I told myself was untouchable. But, it didn’t stop at one kiss. And now we are running full speed down a road with no intention of stopping. His touch disarms me. His kiss revives me. But our love could destroy me.

Wrong. Sinful. Taboo. I know I shouldn’t want him. I know I shouldn’t touch myself in the middle of the night as thoughts of him run through my mind. Thoughts of his kiss, his touch, his love. I’d spent years obsessing over the man I thought I couldn’t have. But as it turns out, he wants me too. And he wants me now.

As a sorority pledge, there are commandments that Katie Vickery must live by. One: Thou shalt not show up for the party without a date. Two: The guy shall be an athlete, preferably an upperclassman. Unfortunately, Katie just broke up with her jerkface football player boyfriend. Even worse, her last encounter with him resulted in utter humiliation. She'd rather hide under the bed than attend a party where he'll be. Yet staying home would mean letting him win.

The Elite Kings Club left a trail of fear behind every person who whispered their names throughout the centuries that they'd existed. They were the product of every nightmare you were told as a child, only now, they don't go bump in the night. They race modified cars, throw parties to conceal their morbid games, and leave behind the kind of chaos that can never be tamed. They were from an ancient bloodline of the three Founding Fathers, and it was almost time for them to plunge deeper into the depths of hell.

Story
When I started my first year of college, I had one goal in mind and it had nothing to do with school. I wanted to earn a spot on the U.S. National Water Polo Team. I never imagined that my new coach would be someone I looked up to. Someone whose entire career I meticulously followed... and someone I had a misguided crush on. The first moment I lock eyes with Fallon Harris is the moment everything changed. The Olympics weren’t the only thing on my mind anymore. He doesn't feel the same because everything that comes out of his mouth is anything but admiration.

Wow this is the first book I have read/listen to by Lucia Franco. I really enjoyed this book. I was surprised the range of emotions I felt while listening. This has a slight bit of age gap taboo. I was not ready for it to end. I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out. Sarah Puckett did a fantastic job narrating especially Kova's Russian accent.

Buckle Up and Get Ready For Teenage Angst!
Title: Balance (Off Balance Series Book 1)
Tropes: Taboo Romance, Coming Of Age, Sports Romance Age Gap Romance
Author: Lucia Franco
Narrator: Sarah Puckett
Likes:
-Narration. Sarah Puckett did a phenomenal job! Each character had there own unique voice (male or female) and accent. The Russian accent sounded authentic and even though I don't speak Russian that dialoged sounded so natural and not at all forced. Sarah gets 5 out of 5 stars for her narration!
-Tension. I felt the worry, stress, awkwardness as the FMC moves to this brand new place, on her own and has to learn how to fit into a new group of people. Also, I enjoyed the tension building between the 2 main characters as they start to feel a connection between them and don't know what to do with those feelings.
Dislikes
-Gymnastics descriptions
As someone who knows nothing about gymnastics besides a basic cartwheel or handstand, the long descriptions of FMC's routines did nothing for me. I feel like they could have been shortened a lot! I like that she described how she felt while she was doing these moves, but it felt very repetitive after awhile. But I can see why someone who knows gymnastics terms would appreciate it.
-Spicy Scene Descriptions
In this first book the spice at times felt very long winded and sometimes awkward. Half the time I did know what position they were in or even how they were achieving a certain position.

Taboo & forbidden…yet an addicting storyline with a remarkable narration!!!
A story so taboo on multiple levels, YET it’s such an addicting and captivating storyline! It felt so wrong reading this book at times but I couldn’t get enough of it! It’s a forbidden and taboo age gap romance as Kova is a gymnastics coach and Adrianna, is his gymnast. Not only that, but he is 32 years old while she is 16 years old, and also a virgin. However, the characterization of Kova and Adrianna was so well done that I was just immersed into the plot and easily kept reading this book chapter after chapter! It takes you on a rollercoaster journey with shocking surprises along the way and keep in mind, the book does end on a CLIFFHANGER! This is book 1 of a 5 book series so be ready to jump into book 2, Execution! If you love all things taboo, lots of steamy romance, plus fantastic character development with an exhilarating storyline then this is the book for you!
The incorporation of the gymnastics element into this storyline was just remarkably done!! It was just the right amount of information included in the story to understand what Arianna and the gymnasts were doing which I loved as it enabled me to understand the sport without going over the top in detail! It kept me intrigued and interested in what was happening with their gymnastics while also keeping the plot moving. Flawlessly done! Also, I have to mention that the addition of the gymnastics terms as innuendos during the romance was pure gold!!! I absolutely loved that Lucia snuck that in there!
Sarah Puckett absolutely did a stellar job with the narration of this book!! She brought emotion, passion and power to everything she spoke while performing! Also, her Russian accent for Kova was perfection! My husband actually speaks Russian and he even commented how well she spoke and also that her pronunciations for the few Russians words were spot on! It just made the narration feel so realistic and like there was a 2nd voice even though it was a single POV! I can’t wait to hear more from her in the rest of this series!

Angsty and Steamy Age Gap!!!
I have read this whole series before and to this day it is one of my absolute favorites. Age gap romances are my jam!!! I jumped at the opportunity to dive back in to World Cup and be surrounded by Kova and Adrianna, and let's be honest, Sarah Puckett narrating both of those characters because she seriously kills this book!
Adrianna wants to increase her training and maybe one day make it to the Olympics, and in order to do so starts training at a gym several hours from her home. At a young age, she now lives on her own and gets tutored for school and trains 50 hours a week for gymnastics. Kova is the owner of the World Cup and her new Coach and also a friend of her father's.
Adrianna and Kova's relationship is intense, angsty, tumultuous, steamy and very much a roller coaster ride. The chemistry is definitely there no doubt. The author did a great job at times with Kova's struggle with the morality of their relationship which I think came through in his hot and cold, back and forth treatment towards Adrianna and in other ways as well.
I was hooked from the start, not going to lie. Yes, this is taboo book and yes there is sensitive subject matter, but hello it is FICTION. I applaud the author for writing this story and for continuing to publish it. This book was 100% engaging; from beginning to end, I hung on to every word.
This book does raise a lot of questions at various times that could get you thinking, but again the book is fiction. A lot of what I read in a lot of different types of books are not things I would necessarily do or condone in real life, but the books are still insanely entertaining, just like with this one. I was fully invested in these characters and the story line and the story evoked ALL THE EMOTIONS AND FEELS!!!
Sarah Puckett did a brilliant job with the narration of this story. To not only do a fantastic job with the narration as Adrianna, but to also be able to do such an amazing job as Kova with his Russian accent truly says everything about her skill as a narrator. She has been a favorite narrator of mine since I first listened to her, particularly because I enjoy how she reads both female and male characters, but for this book she is truly exceptional!!! #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

Captivating
Balance...the title doesn't quite fit the story...at least not yet. I love taboo stories, and this one did not disappoint. From the beginning as I began to listen, I knew there was going to be a romance. We met Adrianna, with the sole focus of wanting to be a gymnast in the Olympics. With some pull from her father, a deal is struck and she is now training with the best. Kova is a two time Olympic champion, and he knows what it takes to get there. And getting involved with one of his trainees is not part of the program. Not only is it illegal, since Adrianna is underage, but it will destroy both of them. But the pull is so strong! I couldn't decide as I listened if I loved these characters or hated them. The sign of a great book to me, since they are constantly on my mind and I need to keep listening to make the decision! Adrianna is a tough one to like. At first, I thought she is amazing, focused, a little bratty but good head on her shoulders. I thought the same of Kova at first. Driven for perfection, tough to get the result out of his students. Then things changed, and I thought...they know better than this...I kept going back and forth and honestly, I still am not sure! It's full of steam, it's enlightening to the exorbitant training and cost for the love of a sport and made me both cringe and smile. And interesting start to this series, only leaving it so I need to know what happens next!
Sarah Puckett brings it all to this book. With the story line, she needs to be young, naive, mature, sensual, frustrated and passionate...and that is just for Adrianna! Add in Kova, with his tough exterior and his Russian accent and she nails this performance. She is amazing in her ability to go from ages 16 to 32 flawlessly, giving attitudes to the teammates, and building the emotional story up to the very end.
