About this listen
Take the leap.
She's got her feet planted on the ground. He'll teach her to fly.
Jessica, a curvy, driven, neat-freak lawyer is ecstatic when she finally gets her dream job - even though it's taking her away from her hometown. When she meets over-the-top, man-mountain Mikey, a fitness buff and veterinarian with a messy life in all senses of the word, she thinks she just walked into the second-most exciting adventure of her life.
His larger-than-life personality fascinates her, but also shakes the foundations of her quiet, introverted self, knocking her off-kilter. It's a bad idea to let him take her on as a weight-loss client. It's an even worse idea to get involved with him since he's her manwhore roommate...and she's seen him in action.
If they give into their undeniable attraction, is it just a train wreck waiting to happen? Or will their desire fuel a chance at real love?
If you love steamy romance, be sure to check out the fourth standalone in the Giving You series.

Story
You know how people say you can never believe what you read on the interwebs? That a hot guy online is probably a creeper with a beer gut and a shoe fetish, not the sexy beast he pretends to be? So I had no clue that the anonymous blogger who contacted my law firm about his naughty website would be droolworthy in real life. Not that I'm interested in him in that way. Attorneys can't go around sleeping with their clients. Not even if he is the most beautiful man I've ever met and so ridiculously smart he makes my nerdy-girl heart sigh.

Story
There’s a fine line between lust and hate. I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem. His mouth is. And the stupid things that come out of it. But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his damnedest to take care of me.... Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on. And it doesn’t involve talking.

Story
What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

It's been over a decade since Nora left her hometown of Scupper Island, Maine, and very seldom looked back. She's carved out a successful life in Boston, where no one knows her as the awkward girl with the delinquent sister and the dad who left, but a not-as-dramatic-as-it-sounds brush with death has her taking stock of her life. Inspired to reconnect with her prickly mother and snarky teenage niece, Nora returns home for the summer, where she's forced to face the people she's spent the last ten years trying to avoid.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Mirror, mirror, who's the fairest of them all? I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn't grow out of turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all mean girls. And those mean girls were right. It was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world, and I knew the answer would never be me.

I almost didn't believe it was him. In high school, Sebastian Pryce had been an aloof outsider who kept to himself. But now, 10 years later, he's back and unusually attractive. With muscles in all the right places and hands that know exactly what they're doing, Sebastian is everything I didn't know I needed. And while he isn't exactly friendly, he has a magnetism that draws me in.

4.5 The Ground Beneath Our Feet
Mikey & Jessica
This story was fantastic; it is real and touching and makes you really think.
Books that you can relate to are the best kinds I think. I may not be able to relate to Mikey or what he is going through. But I sure can feel for everything he is dealing with. Him taking responsibility like he does makes me like him a whole heck of a lot. Also totally loved, that he was this big tattoo’s fella who has this incredible heart for animals. Swoon!
Jessica is who I relate to, one she is curvy. CHECK.
She deals with her emotions by over eating. Now that I don’t relate with. But her struggle is something I relate with CHECK.
But herself image, CHECK. That is something a LOT of women deal with and can relate too. We see ourselves or parts of our body that we need to be a shammed of. Who would want to love that, if we can’t love ourselves?
I loved that even though it was a struggle Jessica fights through all the under lying issues. She really wants to get better mentally and physically, even if I personally think her body wasn’t the problem.
I loved that Mikey saw Jessica for who she is and not for the size of her body.
If you have read any of Leslie’s other books … Will is my favorite… I can’t help it, cowboys’ need I say more. LMAO…
But Tor in this audiobook.. SWOON.. That voice.. I am not a blusher, he made me blush! Ok ok .. So I am a blusher but NOT from a voice! That deep, raspy maleness.. Just Yeahhh..
Ok and we need to talk about Charley now… I enjoyed all her female voices. From her Jessica voice, to her mom, to Cherry. Though sometimes the s’s on the end of her words were getting to me.
Loved this book, Read it, Recommend it!
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Except the skin your in
Jessica was an unsecure plus sized woman. Her insecurities stemmed from an alcoholic abusive father and by eating she could sooth her wounds.
She decides to make some changes moving is one a new dream job the other. She ends up as the roommate of a good looking man whore who is a veterinarian, and is a messy person, with a menagerie of animals, Jessica has no problem with the animals, but is impulsive about neatness.
It’s not long before she finds herself in his arms and on a new life’s path. Healthy living although not what she thought becomes her new normal and life is good till Mikey reveals a secret that may end there HEA, or can she overcome his shortcomings.
Thank you Tor Thom and Charley Ongel for this audible book from Leslie McAdams birthday bash.

Good story-Painful performance
Positive affirming story of two people each learning self love after pain and heartache in the real world. I personally found the narration to be irritating, but I assure you the story is worth the struggle to listen to.

Funny, Poignant, & Sexy
This is more than a fun and sexy romance. This is a wonderful story of second chances, forgiveness, self improvement, and learning to love yourself. Jessica and Mikey both find second chances as they finally find a reason and inspiration to be better. Both their flaws and issues are so relevant these days and I enjoyed how the author dealt with them with honesty, empathy, and humor. I am not a fan of this kind of narration but I did like each narrator. I found it distracting when one narrator was telling the story and the other would jump in with only two or three words before the first continued telling the story. It just didn't flow well for me. Except for those few moments, I was able to get lost in the narration and enjoy their storytelling. If you like heartfelt, witty, and sexy romances, then you should definitely give this a listen.

Thought provoking
This book was thought provoking. Nothing like I thought it was going to be, but very interesting to watch our main female character deal with issues that I'm sure many will be able to relate to, to some degree and on some level. For some reason, I found it more...thought provoking. It didn't really conjure up any emotions, but more...thoughts.
Tor Thom has a great voice and did a nice job. This was my first Leslie McAdam and Tor Thom.

Leslie takes us on another emotional journey
Leslie McAdam has a way with words and stories like no other. The Ground Beneath our Feet is no exception. Leslie always handles real life issues and struggles with such care. Tor Thom is one of my favorites and he portrayed Mickey and his struggles perfectly. While Charley really brought Jessica's story to life. Narration is so important when delivering this type of emotional read and both were amazing. Thank you Leslie for giving me all the feels.

On the fence with this one
The story overall is about how a person can overcome there fears and addictions to find love and happiness at the end. The story was just ok for me a bit predictable. The narration was good. Good listen for in between books. I was provided with this book at no cost from the author or narrator for a honest review.

Meaningful and steamy! What a combo.
I just loved this story. It was a deep and meaningful love story about two broken souls who are healed as they fall for each other. Both of the MC's struggles hit close to home and were very emotional for me. The narration was flawless and Thor is by far my new favorite narrator. Highly recommend this super steamy romance!
