Publisher's Summary
The only thing harder than saving the world is doing it alone.
Holly Lovelace is a multimillionaire tech genius and the CEO of her own company. But if she can’t come up with a brilliant innovation and convince her investors that she’s back in tip-top shape by the end of the year, Holly could lose everything she’s worked so hard to build.
Ivy Winters is a social worker on an island that’s a vacation paradise during the summer months but suffers from a lack of economic opportunity and the scourge of addiction the rest of the year. When the promise of a huge grant falls through, Ivy loses hope of helping her community.
When Holly and Ivy meet, sparks fly, but it’s hardly smooth sailing. After their one-night stand ends in disaster, both decide they’d rather spend the cold months ahead sleeping alone. However, it soon becomes undeniable that each woman possesses something the other needs. Working together, they just might get what they want and find the love of a lifetime along the way, but only if their own insecurities and secrets don’t destroy them first.

A Pleasing Listen.
"Holly & Ivy" is the story of two women who meet and are attracted to one another on the crossing to the island. Superficially, our two female characters seem to be poles apart in several aspects. However, they are rich in different ways that compliment one another. They come together in a relationship (symbiotic) because it is better than the combination of their disenchanted separate lives. Fundamentally, they are both chasing the same happiness.
"Ivy" is both spontaneous and caring. She is very affectionate in person and career. "Holly" is rather practical and regimented. Both characters, relentlessly, prioritise other people's needs (community and investors) over their own, whilst denying there own relational happiness.
The levity (cliched but endearing) in the relationship preamble caught both my interest and curiosity. I loved relistening to the witty dialogue between the characters. However, I was a little disappointed by the patchiness (inconsistency) of that levity, from then on. My interest started to wane in its absence and my mind started to drift. Especially, I would have liked to have "seen" that humour (or threads) brought into the bedroom scenes. Wow!! That could have been a "riot" and most delicious.
I found the narration was competently performed. To my mind, the dynamics (energy) of the performance are a little lacking. Otherwise, good consistent character renditions.
Overall, a pleasing (if not continual) listen
