About this listen
Opposites attract for two single parents in this heartfelt romance novel from New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne
Sometimes, the real crime is not giving in to love.
When ex-con Wes Calhoun moves into Brambleberry House, his neighbor Jenna Haynes gives him a wide berth. Widowed, and the former target of a stalker, the single mom errs on the side of extreme caution when it comes to men—and her heart. So Jenna vows to keep a neighborly distance. Until she needs help—and surly Wes comes to the rescue.
Jenna learns that Wes’s tattooed exterior belies his kindness, dedication to his daughter and his lonely heart. Wrongfully convicted and exonerated, Wes is just trying to piece his life back together. And he stirs feelings Jenna thought long buried. Should she trust an ex-con with her heart, or safely lock it up and throw away the key?
FREE BONUS STORY INCLUDED!
A Beauty in the Beast by Michelle Lindo-Rice
Thirteen years ago, a tragic fire left junior prom queen Eden Tempest orphaned and scarred, inside and out. Now she’s the town recluse—the complete opposite of Mason Powers, TV’s most famous renovator. But Mason is battling his own rocky past, and his and Eden’s attraction is undeniable. Is their unexpected connection enough to heal both their traumatic pasts and bring their beauty to the light?

Nothing short of a miracle can restore Eliza Hayward’s Christmas cheer. The job she pinned her dreams on has gone up in smoke—literally—and now she’s stuck in an unfamiliar, if breathtaking, small town. Precariously close to being destitute, Eliza needs a hero, but she’s not expecting one who almost runs her down with his car! Rescuing Eliza is pure instinct for tech genius Aidan Caine. At first, putting the renovation of his lakeside guest lodge in Eliza’s hands assuages his guilt—until he sees how quickly he could fall for her.

Story
When the Chambers sisters receive an invitation from their jet-setting aunt to spend the entire month of December at the family's cabin in Asheville, North Carolina, they have one question—why? The retreat, tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, may be the site of many happy childhood holidays and summers, but it also holds sad memories. The sisters and their aunt have spent twenty-five years avoiding the cabin and renting it to strangers. Why would Aunt Elizabeth want her "dearest darling" nieces to put their busy lives in three different states on hold and spend a month in the mountains?

Story
Margaret Dane Clayton has spent her entire life at the Dane Crown Inn, the beautiful resort in the quiet beachside town of Emerald Bay. But the inn once hailed as the "gem of Florida's Treasure Coast" is showing its age, much like its fiercely independent owner. Margaret swears she'll keep the doors of the inn open forever—until an accident forces her to accept that she can no longer cater to guests on her own. After reaching the most difficult decision of her life, Margaret asks her daughter and nieces to grant her one final wish before she places the property on the market.

Story
New York Times best-selling author RaeAnne Thayne brings us two stories from her Outlaw Hartes series. These couples may not be looking for love, but they are about to find it! In The Valentine Two-Step, he had been bamboozled by women before, but for rancher and single father Matt Harte, this is the last straw! In Cassidy Harte and the Comeback Kid, 10 years ago Cassidy Harte stood at the altar waiting for Zach Slater, but he never showed. So she did the only thing she could - held her head up high and swore off men.

Narrator not my favorite
I'm a big Rayanne Thayne fan and looked forward to this book release. Not sure if it's the narrator or the actual script, but I could get into this book. I think the narrator over did the performance as most of the characters came out as whiney when they spoke. Also trying to do the accent was not her strong suite. The story itself wasn't bad, but did not hold my interest as other RT books have done in the past. I hate giving bad reviews, but this one didn't hold me at all.
