P.S. It’s Always Been You: Part 1 by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Narrated by Scott Eastwood and Andi Arndt, a sweeping, second chance romance that weaves mystery, passion, and humor as two present-day lovers search for a love story from the past….
Past loves should stay in the past.
After the way my first love took off for the ends of the earth, the last thing I want is to see him on billboards and bookstore bestseller shelves. Now my boss just handed me the project that could make my career. All I have to do is partner up with the man, the myth, the legend – adventurer Hunter Armstrong.
That’s easier said than done, because when we reconnect, I learn Hunter has his own agenda on this project. And it’s not to find a treasure in art and antiques. It’s me. But what we discover shocks both of us, and we have no choice but to follow the clues….

The heroine(s): Presley – ten years ago she was in love with Hunter. They daydreamed about living on vacation in the tropics. Since then Presley becomes an archery markswoman and an art historian who writes a book about the most famous art forgery’s. However, her book didn’t sell and she isn’t feeling too great about her life.
The Hero(s): Hunter – he fell in love with Presley after a stint in the military, but had hopes for his future. He is an adventurer and wants to travel the world. When he gets a job offer leading several long expeditions for a billionaire who wants to remain nameless, Hunter leaves Presley and goes off to begin his new life.
The Story: Hunter left Presley to start a mysterious job with a secretive billionaire. Years later he becomes famous for saving that man on one of the highest mountains in the world. Soon after that he is starring in his own popular adventure series and has written more than one best sellers on his experiences. Presley can’t seem to get away from him even though he is a world away living the life of action and extreme sports.
When Presley is offered the opportunity of a lifetime she is hard pressed to refuse. Finding out that the person hired to work for her is none other than Hunter is not exactly good news to Presley. This series seems to have a great premise and a lot of places to go from here.
The narration was done by Scott Eastwood (*Swoon), and Andi Arndt. I love Andi Arndt, who always gives a stellar performance. She sounds intelligent and has nice rhythm. Scott Eastwood does a great job, though you can tell he isn’t as used to being a book narrator as some of the other narrators that do this for a living. I’m sure if he does a few more he can get better at cadence, tempo and inflection for book narration. However, I have to admit he is a hottie and it is nice to be able to put a face like that to the character like this. Overall I really enjoyed it and hope he does more in the future!
