Publisher's summary

"Sinkhole, take me now."

Olena MacMillan is a hot mess. Feeling like she has a permanent seat on the struggle bus, she can't seem to get her act together—or stop embarrassing herself.

Desperate for a fresh start in her hometown, Olena needs to focus. On getting her life on track. On resuscitating her landscape design business. Definitely not on the gorgeous landscaper she's stuck working with. But something about his intense green eyes and hunky lumberjack vibe has her babbling non-stop.

Jude Sharpe is a man of routine. He likes his life just the way it is: familiar, predictable, and safe. And he's determined to keep things professional, ignoring Olena's magnetic pull. But who is he kidding? Even his dog is smitten.

But when Olena's ex won't stop harassing her, escalating his unhinged behavior, she has to dig deep for the courage to let Jude in or risk losing everything.

Hey Jude is the first book in the Lennox Valley Chronicles series. It features mature content intended for listeners aged 18 and up.

Beautifully written and narrated

In Hannah's debut novel we follow Olena and Jude's simmering love story. This is more of a slow burn, but it is worth it. Trust me. You are going to need a fan and ice water by the bonus epilogue included in the audiobook. 🥵🔥

I found myself relating so much with Olena throughout the entire book. But all the characters and the way Hannah weaves the story kept me wanting more. Jude and Olena are perfectly imperfect and just right for each other. We are never too broken to be loved and they find that love while still being who they were.

The narrators were perfect! Victoria Connolly and Benjamin Sands are new narrators to me, but I this won't be my last listen of their work. I highly recommend both of them. The way they pull you into the story and bring you along is **chef's kiss! * Plus, I already mentioned that bonus epilogue and the other spice right? Whew!

Narrator+Story= Total Win

I'm not sure if this story was made for this gal narrator or if she's just sunk that deep into her character portrayal, but she has me completely captivated. I'm along for every emotional twist and turn because I feel like I'm hearing the latest from my best friend. Loved every minute!

Amazing debut!

When Olena moves back to Lennox Valley to flee from a toxic relationship with her ex, she's happy to share an apartment with her best friend and move on with her life. Things get even better when he gets her a wonderful gig as the landscape designer for his aunt and uncle's property. She has the most embarrassing but cute meet cute with Jude Sharpe, who was hired to do the landscaping. After much babbling and putting her foot in her mouth, they get into a nice routine working together, But he looks at her with a special glint in his eyes and oh, she's interested, she's definitely interested. When he ex starts harassing her, her new new life begins to spiral out of control, but Jude is there for her. She'll just need to learn how to so deal with all the baggage she carries. So does Jude. 

A lovely debut novel by Hannah Brixton and I really loved Olena and Jude. They are both a little broken, but both willing to do the work. Olena is pretty funny with her inner monologues and Jude is top tier book boyfriend material. There are some heavy things happening but appreciate how well they were dealt with in the story. 

The audiobook is narrated dual style by Victoria Connolly and Benjamin Sands. I love Victoria and she never disappoints! Benjamin Sands is new to me but I will definitely look up for more titles narrated by him. 

Lovely story, lovely audiobook! Thanks, Victoria, for the gift!

Loved it!

4.75 ⭐️

Wow, this book seriously blew me away!

Olena learning how to confront the traumas of her past and take back her life was so empowering. As an ADHD girlie who wasn’t diagnosed until age 31, her struggles with being undiagnosed were so relatable. But I loved that the mere knowledge of her possibly having ADHD, and the struggles that come with it, was all that was highlighted - it was never a forced issue or something that was dragged out as needing diagnosed because she was still a successful business owner and had created coping mechanisms in her life that worked.

Jude was utterly perfect. A *giver* in the best way, not afraid to show his emotions, protective, and communicative. Plus, he was a sexy lumberjack with a sweet dog, so there’s that.

The side characters were so lovable too. They were supportive and protective, but in a way that gave Olena the power to cope the way she needed to when things were hard.

And the spice!! Whew, this one had it good. It was tasteful yet explicit at the same time, and woven into the story seamlessly to add to the plot rather than being the plot.

Also, there’s a reference to the “I carried a watermelon” line in Dirty Dancing, and if I hadn’t already been loving the book, that would’ve done it for me because it’s one of the best movie quotes of all time.

The narration for the audiobook was spectacular as well! I don’t think I’d heard either of the narrators before, but I’ll be looking for more of their books now.

I cannot wait to read the next book in this series to see who else is getting their happily ever after! Hannah was gracious enough to provide me a copy of this audiobook for free in exchange for a review, but I won’t hesitate to buy anything she writes now!

Fabulous narration by @victoriaconnollynarrator - seriously, people, listen to the books she narrates! You won’t miss not having a male narrator!!

The characters were so relatable ❤️

I couldn’t put it down! This book was incredible from start to finish. All of the characters were great and the story was so unique! I loved every second of it.

Hannah’s writing style is top notch and her way of tackling hard topics is wonderful. I read this on my kindle before, and was so glad to get the chance to listen to its audiobook!!!!

Definitely a great listen ❤️

So relatable!

This is a new to me author and I was drawn to this book for the narrator, Victoria Connolly. I am so glad I tried it! Olena, the female main character, is undiagnosed ADHD and struggles with many day to day tasks and habits, but is a very talented landscape designer. She is sometimes annoying, but so relatable in her struggles. Jude is the landscaper who she works with on a project and he falls for Olena very quickly, borderline instalove. These two characters are likable, relatable, and sympathetic and you find yourself rooting for them right from the start. HEA is very satisfying and fully developed.
Victoria Connolly and Benjamin Sands are amazing and truly embody these characters and draw you into the story effortlessly. It is performed in dual style narration and both Victoria and Benjamin are so incredibly talented with their opposite gender characters that it almost feels like duet style. This book is definitely worth a credit for the audio. Loved it and will look for more by this author and these narrators.

Truly amazing

This is definitely one of my favorite listens so far this year. The story is amazing! Olena is a woman who has been through a lot and is trying to get her life back on track. Jude is a man just going through life content to be on his own. They come together and it’s so good. This has all the love, laughs and growth of the characters that I wanted to see. The narrators were both new to me and I will definitely be looking out for both of them. Thanks for the amazing listen and I am looking forward to more from this world.

Relatable characters, strong storylines, and good laughs

I really loved Hey Jude by Hannah Brixton
I liked how relatable and funny Olena was. She was not afraid to take what she wants in the spicy scenes either. I was like you go girl! Wow.
Her baggage was a big part of the story too and not just something that happened near the end which is something I appreciated. Olena struggles throughout the book with her baggage and Jude doesn’t push her. He is there for Olena being patient and caring.
I also loved how reliable and how much Jude believed in Olena. (Gold 🌟) Jude was such a comforting character which leads me to the narration…
Victoria Connoley and Benjamin Sands were so good at doing different tone changes/portraying different voices. I waited until this book was in audio to read it and I’m so glad I did. Both narrators nailed it. Victoria brought Olena’s bubbly character to life. also, Victoria’s man voice is highly talked about and I can see why. Benjamin did the same with Jude and was awesome at being our caring lumberjack. A comforting read/listen. I’ve always wondered what people meant by comfort reads/listens…well I think I know now. Hey Jude is mine. Both the narrators voices were so soothing. I would often fall asleep (lol) but not because I was bored oh no, I loved the storyline and how it ended with a literal bang. Thank you Hannah. ☺️
If you’re looking for relatable characters, strong storylines and good laughs/sleeps (lol) listen to the book Hey Jude. I can’t wait to go back to Lennox Valley in Jesse’s Girl! (Hannah, I love these book titles).
I believe ARC sign ups for Jesse’s Girl are still available to apply for if you’re interested.
