THE DOWNSIDE OF LOVE

Book 2 in the Blue Line duet

By Meghan Quinn

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC [in exchange for an honest review] of the audiobook boxset THE DUETS by Meghan Quinn. The boxset includes the Blue Line Duet and The Perfect Duet.  I was going to wait to do a review for when I finished the whole audio ARC, but I decided to do individual reviews on each book and then 1 full review for the Duets.

The Downside of Love is the 2^nd book in the Blue Line duet. It picks up with the cliffhanger the first book left us at. The first book left me emotionally devastated so I was anxious to see where the finale of this duet brought us.  For me, this book had everything… love, heartbreak, friendship, trust, inspiration, sexiness, humor, and soul crushing angst. It’s hard to write a review without giving away any spoilers… because the whole book in itself is a spoiler. But you HAVE to read “The Upside of Love” before reading this one. The story won’t make sense otherwise. Meghan Quinn wrote a beautiful duet. She made it impossible for you not to fall in love with the characters all over again. This story is nothing short of AMAZING with the most emotional and heartfelt HEA.

“The downside of love is heartache and uncertainty, but the upside of falling is finding an everlasting love that will carry you through a lifetime of happiness.”

Narrators Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were perfectly cast to guide us through this journey of two people from different worlds finding each other, sharing their darkest secrets and fears, and falling in love. Joe’s voice was perfect for Colby’s young but dominating demeanor, and Maxine was perfect for Rory’s kind heart and tenacity. They help the story flow easily from one chapter to the next. The story in itself is great, but the narrators take that excellence to a higher level. Their emotional tones fit the plot, making it easy to connect to the characters. I couldn’t stop listening to this audiobook. Thank you, Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell, for bringing this beautiful book to life.
