About this listen

Cows are better than people–a fact I've sworn by until the irresistibly upbeat Molly comes barreling into my life, running my farm stand and bringing the summer heat with her.

She's also working for Fork Lick’s most debt-ridden business: my family's farm. I try to stay out of that manure pile. Except the crush I have on her makes me think about doing things like smiling all day and patching up my relationship with my brother.

And then I learn she has a thing for me in flannel and we’re on fire between the sheets. Just when I think Molly might be having feelings for me too, old pain comes bleating back in–this was all a set up and I’ve been played.

Butter You Up continues the Farm 2 Forking crop of laugh out loud romantic comedies set on Bedd Fellows Farm.

Get ready to grab life by the teats with an a-derp-able farm dog and baby goats galore with this hilarious and heartwarming romance by Liz Alden.

Entertaining

Liz Alden is a new author to me and I am shocked that not come across this author before.

Set in Fork Lick ( I just love the name) Molly and her van “Vaniel” need some help. In exchange Molly agrees to work at the farm shop which is where she meets the grumpy farmer Alex Bedd.

From the first chapter I was hooked on their story, add in Alex’s grandmother and the Bedd family and you are in for an entertaining read.

I fell hard and fast for Molly and Alex, they are such wonderful characters and so easy to relate too. She brings the light into Alex’s life that he didn’t know he needed.

This book ticked all the boxes for me from the first to the last chapter. I love romantic comedy stories and this was a good example of the genre.

The narration by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge brought the characters to life for me. Their voices were easy to listen too and they brought all the passion, drama, romance and humour to their performances.

Loved Alex & Molly

I enjoyed Alex and Molly’s story wonderfully narrated by Alastair and Erin. I really like this narrator pairing. This was a cute small town romance and I loved seeing Alex open up and find his happiness. He has harbored such resentment towards his grandfather and his siblings have always wanted to mend the relationship with him.

Molly really brought out the best in Alex and I loved their chemistry. And I was so glad when Alex was able to help his brother understand what happened between him and his grandfather. Alex really deserved to find his joy in life and to be able to be around his family without the anger and sadness.

I’m excited to see what’s to come for the other siblings.

Love It!

Alex and Molly

This is the part of a series where a couple authors take one of the Bedd siblings and write their story. This is Alex's story the second eldest. Can be read as a standalone. He is a grumpy dairy farmer who is holding a grudge, but when the patriarch of the family dies the family finds the family farm that he walked away from is in jeopardy and he is recruited to help save it. Molly reconstructs a van and is traveling around she connects with the matriarch and finds that she can park her van in one of the barns in exchange for help on the farm while she gets someone to do repairs. These two meet while Molly is working on the Bedd farm and there is an attraction but Alex tries to ignore it but then Molly ends up working some days at his farm. This was a good story I enjoyed it truths are discovered as grudges where held from both brothers and they realize they both misunderstood a situation. Look forward to the other siblings stories.


I really liked listening to this more than I did reading it. The narrators did a good job with giving Alex and Molly a voice. An entertaining and enjoyable story. I find it relaxing listening to this.

Great narration to go with a witty story

If you love romantic comedy look no further than Butter Up (Farm 2 Forking #2). This is grumpy business man Alex and free spirt Molly’s entertaining read and it’s a great addition to the series.
Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were spot on with the passion, the love and the drama but more importantly they got the humour.
From the moment these two meet sparks fly but Alex is more interested in cows than people but Molly comes barreling into his life and it’s not long before they both realise there is an instant attraction. Problem is Molly is working on Alex’s debt ridden family farm and that could cause some issues if he doesn’t make amends with his brother…..
This is a laugh out loud rom com that captivated from the first page to the last line, characters I fell hard and fast for as well as a heartwarming romance. So what more could you ask for. Can’t wait for my next visit to Bedd Fellows Farm.

Broody meets his match

Our next adventure into the town of Fork Lick finds us with the “spare” of the Bedd siblings.
While Alex has lived his life playing second fiddle to his older brother Ethan, he now finds himself at the helm of running the dairy farm of Fork Lick. Though he tries to stay far away from the chaos which has riddled his family farm, he finds himself drawn to the newcomer currently working there.
Molly is a bit of a drifter, never staying too long in one place. But there’s a story behind her ways & no one has been able to change her. Finding herself in small town New York, she’s determined to make enough money to fix her van so that she can get back on the road. What she didn’t expect was for the man of her dreams to swoop in with his broody attitude & change her life forever.
Alex & Mollie have their work cut out for them. Both of them have baggage to overcome, but when the right person comes along, you just might be willing to change your ways. A meddling grandma & her pampered sheep might give a little nudge in the love direction.

Audiobook Review:
Erin Mallon & Alastair Haynesbridge delivered another spectacular performance, bringing this town to life and capturing every emotion & hilarious moment.

Funny and fantastic!

Such a fun rom com…loved this book and it’s a great addition to the series. Fill with amazing characters, banter, small town shenanigans and love. Alex is a grumpy, serious businessman and has some family baggage that he needs to work through. Molly is such a free spirit and is a go with the flow kind of gal. She’s full of sunshine and positivity regardless of what may be going on with her life. These two have an instant attraction are so fun, quirky and full of passion. I loved their story and how they snuck around…even though the family knew they were into each other! The entire family is fantastic and add so many laughs and funny situations to the story. Looking forward to the other books in the series! Thank you Home Cooked Books for the complimentary copy. Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge delivered a phenomenal performance!! Erin has an amazing voice and she has become one of my favorite narrators. Bags gives the characters perfect emotion, personality and voice. Alastair is a new to me narrator and his voice is so delightful! He also gave perfect emotion, personality and voice to the characters…and the way he says Baaabara!!! The entire series is amazing. A fantastic listen!!!

Loooove this one!

I really loved Alex and Molly! His dog and friends (oooh that Kit) as well as her Dad are all so delightful! Molly is so thoughtful, kind and smart. I enjoyed her interaction with all the different characters. She really brought sunshine to the farm. I love all the information on boondocking and camping. Very interesting and I am glad the author explained it instead of just assuming I knew. Plus the little but about asparagus! Who knew?? I would love to see it grow. Freaky! Alex is the grumpy one who slowly changes. Its fun to see him starting to smile and have fun again.

I really am loving this series and am only Into book 2! It’s funny, thoughtful, has wonderful witticism plus I really learned something! The characters are interesting and enjoyable. I look forward to more in this series.

Loved this Grumpy Sunshine romance!

Alex Bedd is a surly man of few words. He prefers animals to people and running the creamery that is adjacent to his families farm. When he needs help running the small store, he gets more than he bargained for. Molly is traveling the country when her van breaks down near the Bedd Fellows Farm. She needs to make some money to pay for the repairs so she applies to work for Alex. She is sweet and sunny and she wins over customers easily. Alex is just as enamored by the talkative Molly but tries to fight his attraction since she is just passing through. He can't resist her for long, when she starts to bring out his softer side. But when Molly starts to win over his family as well, he isn't ready to mend those relationships. This was such a sweet and swoony romance! I really fell hard for both Alex and Molly. They are both genuine and relatable with their flaws, vulnerabilities, and strengths. They are from different worlds but fit so perfectly together. Their friends and family who were all so funny, supportive, and loyal, continue to charm me and make this story even more entertaining.
Alastair Haynesbridge and Erin Mallon continue to narrate this series. Their voices are so versatile, and are a pleasure to listen too as they bring these characters and stories to life!

She makes a stop at the farm and in exchange for free parking she helps work the strawberry patch on the weekend. Her second job is at the dairy farm. Her boss is Alex. He tried to fight the attraction but it never works. Haha.

Fun grumpy-sunshine romcom

Who wants a fun grumpy sunshine romcom with heart? ME!

Butter You Up, book 2 in the Farm 2 Forking multi-author romcom series definitely hit the spot. Molly, our merry-wanderer, is just want grumpy Alex needed to bring him out of his funk. Bonus points for then extended Bedd family, including Bah-bra, their intrepid sheep of hilarity.

Liz Alden's contribution to this series is fun, funny, happy, and really expands the Bedd Family's story. Narration by Erin Mallon and Alistair Haynesbridge is delightful and truly captures the spirit of Molly and Alex perfectly.
