Training for Love

Written by Amanda Kabak

Narrated by Nicol Zanzarella

Charlie Williamson is a life-long jock who's butch enough to cause plenty of raised eyebrows in gym locker rooms. Since flaming out of college on a wave of drugs, alcohol, and depression, she's worked the same easy, low-stress job at RRiotWear-a women's fitness clothing startup in Chicago. Then with a promotion on the horizon, Charlie's boss ropes her into leading a beginner's marathon group in the RRiotWear facilities.

Elizabeth McIntyre runs a boutique tech company. Since graduating from MIT, she's made herself into the face of women in technology. She has a beautiful apartment she never sees, a string of ex-girlfriends, and a propensity for panic attacks. When her doctor confirms what her best friend has been saying for years-that Elizabeth needs to slow down and make some radical life changes-she signs up for RRiotWear's marathon program.

Despite everything that points to a not-so-perfect fit, the attraction between Charlie and Elizabeth grows week after week, and mile after mile. But with secrets lingering between them, they might find their relationship stumbles before it can even get to the starting line.

Contains mature themes.

Amanda Kabak

Amanda thrives in the uncategorized gray area between male and female, art and science, intellectual and physical. She designs and writes industrial software by day and stories by night (and on weekends and during flights and over holidays and vacations). She can cook and sew and fix a toilet and install a custom closet. She used to paint house exteriors for a living. She is a slow but devout runner and mediocre triathlete, and sweaty is one of her natural states. She has commuted over 10,000 miles on her single speed bicycle and has forgotten more about physics than most people will ever know. She believes in hard-earned happiness and the ultimate power of the written word. Her home is wherever her partner, Anna, is.

[Carmela Liwag · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Overall I enjoyed the book and lived thr narration. I did feel the ending came about very quickly and would have liked it to be more flushed but that's just me

It was a good story and Nicole Z. does such a good job. My only criticism is that it simply ended. Worth the listen.
