About this listen
46-year-old Ashley Cooke will do just about anything to save her struggling ski hill. When she hires the men from a local sober living home for the season to cut costs, even she thinks she’s gone too far. With her credit cards maxed, her cheating ex-husband intent on buying the mountain out from under her, and record-breaking snow in the forecast, she can’t afford to be distracted by the six-foot-tall bearded and tattooed sober-living-home owner moving onto her mountain.
53-year-old recovering addict and ex-grunge rocker Matthew Madigan has devoted every minute of the last decade to the men residing at his sober-living home. When he meets tightly wound and adorably flustered Ashley, desires he’s put on the back burner for years start to simmer. Immune to his infamous, albeit rusty charm, Ashley presents a challenge he can’t resist. When she offers to give him skiing lessons in exchange for his help training her St. Bernard rescue dog, he jumps at the chance to ride next to her on the chairlift despite his debilitating fear of heights.
During bunny hill shenanigans, chairlift confessions, and steamy cabin serenades, Madigan teaches Ashley that a person’s past doesn’t define them, and Ashley shows Madigan that the men he helps aren’t the only people who deserve a second chance. When sabotage threatens both the men and the mountain, Ashley and Madigan will have to decide if they’re only having a winter fling or if the mountain isn’t the only thing worth fighting for.

Story
Hallie knows how to lose your best friend in one easy step. Offer him your virginity, then watch him reject you. But that was four years ago, and now she knows better. Working at Hunt’s Bull Riding School, there’s no shortage of hot young cowboys to keep her entertained. There’s no need to think about Nate Mathews, especially since he’s off on the pro bull riding tour. Out of sight, out of mind. Until Nate walks back into her life, four years older, four years hotter, and with four years of regrets behind the blue eyes she once fell in love with.

Story
What’s better than a revenge date? A revenge husband. Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things. First, he’s desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg. Second–and most importantly–he still has no idea how to tell her. The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came. Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise. Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday. Emme can’t catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friend’s wedding—and there’s no way she’s showing up alone.

The first time I met the grumpy lumberjack next door, I almost burnt down his cabin. The second time, I was throwing tampons at a moose (don't ask). The third time, I was naked. Henri Gagnon is not just my neighbor and landlord but a pain in my optimistic, plus-sized ass. He's got a protective streak under his grumpy exterior, and he's convinced I won't make it through the Maine winter.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

What’s a broke tea witch to do when she’s about to lose her beloved café? No idea, but chugging magic mojitos and drunk-summoning the Devil was definitely the wrong call. Now, I’m stuck with the house guest from Hell—literally—and we couldn’t be more opposite: a homebody who brews healing teas and reads romance novels to her cats versus a sexy-as-sin playboy with a pitchfork tattoo on his butt and a fondness for public day-drinking. In the nude. Ergo, the pitchfork discovery.

Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Specifically, I've decided not only to give Savage the sound tongue lashing his cocky ass deserves--one nobody else has the balls to deliver--I'm also determined to bring that brooding bad boy to his knees.

Now a USA Today Bestseller! TOP 10 AMAZON BESTSELLER! #1 in Romantic Comedy #1 in Billionaire Romance I’ve been a lot of things. A brother. An athlete. A s-x god. A fake boyfriend? That’s a new one. I’ve never seen her before in my life. There I was, minding my own business at the hotel bar, when she walked up and asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend. She’d introduce me to her overbearing parents. I’d fawn over her for a few minutes, plant a goodbye kiss on her cheek, and walk away with an extra twenty dollars in my pocket. Seemed simple enough. But she had no idea the random ...

Story
When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

Story
Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life. She's the next generation of women's soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly. She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous pain-in-the-ass who's turned our business mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top....

Good story and likable characters
Good story with likable characters that want to do better and improve their lives while supporting and standing up for each other. I’m not one to like unnecessary drama due to miscommunication or misunderstandings, (or sabotage) and while there was some drama it wasn’t enough to turn me away.

Poor narrator
The male narrator was difficult to listen to - cadence, tone, over- annunciation. It was rough. I stopped and started this book several times. if I hadn't have picked it up on a 2 for 1, I would have returned it.

Great 'second chance' romance!! ❤️
The pace was slightly slow, but the story SO lovely, and no shortage of spice!! The male narrator was new to me, but did a great job with the MMC and other male characters. Andi Arndt is ALWAYS a favorite, and as a skier & Winter enthusiast, I really enjoyed the story as a whole. Would definitely recommend this!

Praise for a romance with adult characters in their 40's an 50's.
I love this book. Ashley owns a ski resort/mountain and it's fallen on hard times. When her only option is to hire group of men from a halfway house, she does it reluctantly, only to fall for their "boss" and leader Madigan.
The romance combined with the men's addiction struggles and Ashley's grief and parental issues was so beautifully portrayed. I definitely caught myself tearing up several times!
Madigan is so sexy, and so KIND, and he CRIES a lot! I love a man that is in touch with his emotions. He wants the best for his guys but he also wants to fall in love with Ashley.
Ashley is guarded and a divorcee and mom with an adult child and she's not looking for love. Until Madigan moves onto her mountain and rocks her world.

Come as You Are
I first learned about this book a few months ago when it was recommended in a romance reader group. When I read the synopsis, I knew I had to read it ASAP, but alas, it wouldn’t be available in audio until March.
And so, I waited, not so patiently, for the audiobook, and I spent yesterday, and most of the night, reading it while taking care of a sick labrador. It was the perfect distraction.
Come as You Are had everything I hope for in a romance – flawed, relatable characters, a hero who has been a bit scarred by life, a heroine who finds her confidence and feels like a friend, interesting secondary characters, a slow burn romance, and suitably sexy sexy times. I loved it.
Andi Arndt and Stephen Borne did a beautiful job bringing the characters to life. Their voices were perfect for Ashley and Madigan, and reading this book in audio really enhanced the experience.
If you’re looking for a warm and lovely romance with realistic older characters who’ve been burned in the past but find the courage to trust in themselves and love, definitely give this book a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Not for me
A friend recommended this to me but I can't stand both MCs, they just keep acting so immaturely I don't believe they're in their 40s/50s. MMC "training" FMCs dog by *checks notes* asking said dog politely just took me so far out I had to stop and read something else. Overall it was fine for a sale purchase, the mom-fmc-daughter interactions were kinda cringey but if that doesn't bother you this would probably be enjoyable.
