About this listen

From Wall Street Journal best-selling author L.J. Shen comes a romantic comedy that will make you fall in love...or at least stumble your way to it, laughing.

I would say Dr. Cruz Costello is my archenemy.

But that would require acknowledging one another, which we haven’t done in more than a decade.

He’s the town’s golden child. The beloved quarterback-turned-physician.

I’m the girl who got knocked up at 16 and now works at a diner.

He is Fairhope royalty.

I get my monarch dose from tabloid gossip.

He’s well-off.

I’m...well, off.

When our siblings get engaged, Cruz’s parents invite both families to a pre-wedding cruise.

Except Cruz and I find ourselves stuck on a different ship from everyone else.

Cue 10 horrible, insufferable days at sea with a man I cannot stand.

(My fault, of course.)

But when the alcohol pours in, the secrets spill out, and I’m left with one question: Can I take another chance on love?

Please don’t judge the book by it’s cover!!!! I had this in my library for a month n kept passing by it because of the boring cover…. N I just wanted to say “WOW”… my kids were making fun of me because I was laughing and crying out of nowhere… Sebastian was awesome as usual… Lauren was ok, not one of my favorites though. Definitely recommend it!!!

WOW!!!!!

It’s awe inspiring that how many stories she writes become so alive in my head. Bad Cruz is hilarious, a bit gritty, and has all the facets of small town life that make the story relatable with touches of hotty-ness too. Narrated so well, also. I listened to this in less than 24 hrs because I wanted to know how it ended!

Another LJ Shen masterpiece

Perfect

Tennessee a somewhat young single mom. Going on a cruise with family and family friends. Dr. Cruz a good man who doesn’t attract bad things. She on the other things seems to attract them like a moth to a flame. I love listening to narrators bring the characters to life.

Story line was good and super funny. But more Sebastian narrating would have made it even better.

Great Writing

Female narrator almost made me DNF, bit over exaggerated and much too much urgency in her voice.

Over the top

Ok I admit that this audio threw me off in the first few minutes. I felt like Lauren Ezzo’s narration was sped up and then super slow in the prologue. Her performance was definitely much better moving on to chapter 1-2 and so on. I think there could have been more Sebastian York but honestly this dual narration was one that you almost forget who is performing because the story pulls you in and they become the characters. I love this story, it was such a great ride, the banter was great, and I laughed out loud many many times! This is definitely worth the credit and then some. Don’t get discouraged with the prologue, keep listening and I promise you will not regret it.

So much joy!

This book really makes you feel for the single moms trying their hardest to live in a small town and make the best of things. Tennessee might be known as Messy Nessie but she’s doing her best with what life and family throw at her.

Sweet and funny

I want to smack the shit out of Tennessee's mother, sister and dad. Not to mention her son's father. I have so many questions. Why didn't Bear have a relationship with his paternal grandparents and why the 🤬 did she stay in that one horse town. I wish that she didn't wait until the very end to speak her mind. I also wanted her to beat her sisters ass when she smacked her.
The narrators of course we're great!

Cruz also needed to grow a pair! I'm used to a more take charge man. He wanted from her what he couldn't so himself. I love an asshole but he was so worried about being considerate that he could only be that way to her. This was a nice lengthy read from one of my favorite authors but I swear I want to cut a bitch!

🤬 Smack!!
