Marly Rivers is not crazy. No matter what everyone says. They may think her dream is foolish, but she plans to prove them all wrong—one jar of moonshine at a time. Single dad Wade Kelley is just fine. No matter what his best friend Jed says. He doesn’t need a woman in his life. But when his son Jake breaks a jar of moonshine, he sets something in motion that neither Wade nor Marly are prepared for.

Small town grumpy sunshine trope in the Green Valley “Penny-verse”. Lila Winters brings such personality and fun to everything she does and Chris Brinkley is such a treasure. His expressive storytelling manner makes him one of my favorites.

Story
Lola Landry stares through the window of her locked car with the keys in the ignition and the radio blaring Beck’s “Loser”. While standing there and sweltering in the soupy Tennessee humidity, she wonders how her orderly life had crashed and burned so badly. Then her high school nemesis saunters up in all of his tall, strapping fireman-to-the-rescue glory, slapping her with the humiliating proof that it can always get worse. When the uber-confident Jedediah Lawson requests a date in return for popping her lock, a lightbulb goes off.

Like others have said, one of the best of Green Valley! I shouldn’t have been surprised. Juliette Cross is so good with story lines and relatable characters. (Totally recommend her Stay a Spell Series!) As for narration- I always enjoy Lila Winters, but Chris Brinkley made this one spectacular! I love how you can hear him smile as he narrates, it totally adds to the swoon-factor! These two bring so much personality to the story!

Story
Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by. But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

I love KF Breene books- I’m surprised it’s taken me so long to get to this series! What you need to know as you dive in: each book has a little redemption ending, but it’s leading into the next- there’s a big storyline that stretches over the entire series. So they aren’t meant to be standalone books. You won’t get the traditional HEA in each book- you’ll get a little happy that plays into the story over all. With that format in mind- this book was an intro into the world, the main players, and the premise of the series- and I enjoyed it. The narration is PERFECT! Her other series are so supremely well narrated, and I seeing a different name gave me a moment of pause- but it was fantastic!!

Story
You don’t fall for your brother’s high school sweetheart, your boss’ daughter, or your ex-wife’s best friend. Especially when they’re all the same woman. Under Brick Callan’s mile-wide chest beats a loyal heart with a few cracks in it. He’s the steadfast, overprotective type. Especially when it comes to the one woman he can never have. It’s a long, complicated history punctuated by fights, friendship, family, and an attraction that strains his iron willpower.

Good Story
Reviewed: 06-03-23
I’m a big fan of Lucy Score. I’ve read and/or listened to nearly everything she has out. She’s good at creating relatable characters with some snark and goofiness. This book, like many of her stories, may be bit longer than it had to be thanks to a very detailed storyline (true Lucy Score style)- but it’s a sweet look at a couple who deserve the world but keep getting in their own way. The narration is well done, with distinct character voices and a conversational style. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Story
Police Chief Nash Morgan is known for two things: Being a good guy and the way his uniform accentuates his butt. Two bullets put a dent in that Southern charm but—thankfully—spared his spectacular rear end. He’s got his hands full with the man who shot him still on the loose, healing wounds, and citizens who think of the law as more of a “guideline”. Throw in the gloomy mood that clings to him, and the last thing he needs is a smart-mouthed, gorgeous new neighbor making him feel things he doesn’t have the energy to feel.

Started a little slow, but I really enjoyed it overall. I found the characters relatable for the most part, though I wanted to shake FMC early on. Her arc was well done though, and the male lead was a great character.

Sweet Grump Story
Reviewed: 01-17-23
I will admit that I have enjoyed every book I’ve read or listened to by Lucy Score- but I was a bit resistant to this one because of the length coupled with some marginal reviews. I am so glad I jumped in on this!
Yes, Knox is a class 5 grumpy a-hole, but you’re doing yourself a disservice if you miss the undercurrent- the subtext. Yes he’s misguided, that’s the point of the character arc. And Naomi had her issues too- again- character development. Its more than half the reason to read/ listen to the book.
Narration is fantastic- two of my favorites!

After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.

Sweet story, fantastically written
Reviewed: 12-24-22
This is truly one of the best romances in my nearly 600-title audible library, and my first book by Abby Jimenez - but definitely not the last! It's a sweet, swoony story about two characters with hugely divergent lifestyles, but I found them both to be really well-developed and relatable. While I enjoy that grumpy, bad-boy vibe you get with some books, it's refreshing to see a male lead who shows emotion and never makes you doubt how they feel. I wanted to shake the female lead a couple of times - but probably because she's so relatable in her responses to social pressures. Of course, the narration is just perfection. Julia Whelan and Zachary Webber do such a great job with different character voices, and the emotion they reflect is so well done.

Sweet, beautiful story
Reviewed: 12-15-21
I really enjoyed this book. It’s a story about 2 characters who are damaged, and learn to pull through and live life despite that. The male narrator’s tone is gruff, but the hero is an alpha male with some commitment issues, and I think it’s okay to portray him as gruff and a bit crass. The story is long, and honestly could’ve ended a couple of times before it did- but it was sweet and swoon-worthy all throughout.
