LIMITLESS: ENCORE: Jace & Alex

Such a pleasure to return to the world of the Less than Zero band, drummer Jace and his lady love Alex, with this audiobook narrated by Alexander Cendese and CJ Bloom. Jace and Alex have been through the wringer and through everything it has only strengthened their bond. Their chemistry is off the charts and demonstrates the power of love to help deal with life’s ups and downs. The author is commended for her shining a light on a challenging health condition that Alex is dealing with. This storyline will have you feeling a ton of emotions and I might even suggest having tissues handy just in case. CJ Bloom is one of my go to narrators and once again she has done a stellar job brining Alex to life and the depth of Alexander Cendese’s vocal tonality is like a smooth bourbon sliding down one’s throat that you could listen to continuously. If you have not met the members of this band and the other characters, I suggest adding this series to your shelf immediately. They need to be listened to in order. I cannot wait for more!

Limitless: Encore is the sixth book in the Less than Zero series by Kaylene Winters. This book is the continuing story of Jase and Alex and, just like in the original books, it runs concurrently to the Endless: Encore that I reviewed on February 2 of this year. There are a number of events into which the reader has insight, having now experienced it from both perspectives. I am finding that the Encore books humanize these rock gods and the women that love them so much more than the original books. There has been no touring or concerts, just the characters that I had grown so fond of over the span of four (now 6) books. This book touches on issues of infertility and loss as well as endometriosis, a condition with which I suffered from the age of seventeen. I was able to empathize with Alex’s experience even though our personal journeys were very different. I loved that the author chose to bring awareness of this disease as it is one that many have no knowledge of, but lots of women experience as the leading cause of infertility. I found this audiobook to be highly enjoyable and relatable and the narrators were still perfect in handling the dual POVs. If you love contemporary rockstar romance and are a Less than Zero fan, you will enjoy this too. If you have not read or listened to the original books in the series, I would not recommend this audiobook until you have. This is a series that needs to be read in order and the Encore books continue the story rather than standing alone. I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook thanks to Wildfire Marketing Solutions and One Night Stand Studios.
