About this listen
In Green Valley, Tennessee, everybody knows everybody, but nobody knows Sabrina Logan.
Sabrina has been hiding in plain sight for years. Living her life inside of books, dutifully helping her family, and hoping no one will notice her. So far? Mission accomplished!
Yet when sexy - and distrustful - Sheriff Wyatt Monroe returns to town with his daughters, he definitely notices the quiet librarian everyone else overlooks. The single dad can’t seem to shake thoughts of shy Sabrina. Without quite understanding the impulse, Wyatt makes his mission finding her again, so he can...well, he’ll just have to reckon with that later.
What Wyatt discovers is a woman who trusts too easily, but who’s afraid to live. Trust doesn’t come easily to Wyatt. But living? That’s never been a problem. And he’d sure like to show her how.
Crime and Periodicals is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, and is book two in the Green Valley Library series, Green Valley world, Penny Reid Book universe.

Story
Naomi Winters will be 40 soonish, and she’s only been with one man. One night. One time. Long ago. She believes everything happens for a reason, and the universe spoke about Nathan Ryder. Nathan Ryder isn’t the same man who hightailed his bike out of Green Valley, 18 years ago. As a rule breaker, women are one area he acts a fool. Case in point, the local librarian. He can’t get a read on her, but she’s one risk he’s willing to take. Again.

Story
Rex “TW” McMurtry’s perpetual singlehood wouldn’t bother him so much if all his ex-girlfriends didn’t keep marrying the very next person they dated, especially when so many of those grooms are his closest friends. He may be a pro-football defensive end for the Chicago Squalls, but the press only wants to talk about how he’s always a groomsman and never a groom. Bartender Abigail McNerny is the gal-pal, the wing-woman, the she-BFF. Abby is convinced no one on earth could ever entice her into a romantic relationship...except that one guy she’s loved since preschool.

The path of true love never has run smooth for Olive Perry. After getting dumped and promptly abandoned in the middle of her multi-month hike, Olive swears off men. Determined to finish the long trek by herself, she doesn’t need a prince — or broody and taciturn ranger — to save her. Yet, when an early snowstorm threatens the mountains, and Ranger Daniels is charged with getting hikers to safety, that includes hot-tempered Olive Perry.

Story
I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

Former beauty queen Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous—local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Now, all these years later, he was back - and wanting me the way I'd always longed for him. Except now, I belonged to someone else. Someone who never left me the way Josh had. I figured that was the end of our story. I couldn't alter the past. I didn't want to rewrite my future.

For generations, the Campos and Machado families have blamed each other for stealing pastry recipes they claim their great-grandfathers originated before fleeing Castro's Cuba. Having spent their lives as rivals, Lauren and Sylvie are now in their early thirties and primed to take over their respective family bakeries. That means working long, hot, seasons of outdoor food festivals where they are forced to endure each other—albeit with a lot of bantering and barb-trading.

Story
Cimarron County knows the youngest son of the fabled Prince family as a womanizing hell-raiser, but Luca has changed, and he intends to prove it. There's just one problem - a woman with sparkling eyes and more fight than a barnyard cat. After a childhood of living in foster homes, Ella Kendall has exactly three things to her name: a dog, a pig, and the rundown house she just inherited. Luca may not remember her from high school, but she definitely remembers him. He is as seductive as he was then, but Ella isn't about to fall for his flirting.

But her mother’s idea of a great catch leaves her cold, and she’s pretty sure her cocky, arrogant, and way too good-looking new neighbor isn’t the one either. If only her wayward cat would stop jumping through his window, she could get on with her life. Tyler Duncan moved into town for a new job, not to fall in love. But he always goes after the things he wants in life with steadfast determination…and he wants Leah Emerson. He wants her smiles, he wants her touch, and he definitely wants her in bed.

What I wanted for my birthday: Books. What I got for my birthday: my brother’s best friend playing matchmaker. Let it be known that I am 100 percent against being set up with somebody. And I’m 1,000 percent sure that Josh Carter's not the man to find me a boyfriend. I mean, if I’m so great, why isn’t he the one dating me? (For the record, I don’t know the answer. That’s just what the guy on the internet asked.) I’ll humor him. If I go on his little dates, he’ll teach my bookish, introverted self how not to be totally, completely, utterly, unforgivably awkward.

I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

loved this adorable couple!!!
I adored this book! Give me anything set in Green Valley and I will happily listen all day. Pair this book with the incredible and sexy voiced Chris Brinkley along with new to me, Regan Boggs and I was loving this sweet couple!
if you haven't started the Green Valley Library series yet, you could start with book 1 or do what I did and start with this one!
I didn't start with book 1, however, I'm in love with Wyatt and his entire family so I will be grabbing all of the books after I get the rest of the Monroe family!!
Sabrina and Wyatt are just the most adorable fictional couples I've ever read!
I'm curious if his brothers are like him or more bad boy! Can't wait to find out!

A new favorite
Nora Everly is my favorite of the GVL authors - her stories are lovely and believable with just enough sizzle. Reagan Boggs was the perfect Sabrina.. and Chris Brinkley is the perfect every man.
I love visiting Green Valley and I especially love that Nora's stories are plausible - they're things that could happen to real people. I hope to see more from her.

Loved meeting Everett!
I think I smiled for about 90% of this one. Chris Brinkley is the most talented narrator I’ve listened to, and I am admittedly a stalking fan of his work. Everett is adorable and honestly, sometimes unbelievably unrealistic. Unless it’s just my nine brothers, two sons, husband and all the other men I’ve been around, but I’ve never experienced one of them wanting to talk about feelings so I appreciated Everett’s caring personality, however fantastical in my reality. Everett is also self-aware of his nerdiness and worries that he’ll never find a partner who accepts him for who he is.
Willa is as independent as she is insecure, and it’s easy to believe her personality change around Tommy. That happens in many relationships. Her relationship development with Everett is accelerated in the book, but we didn’t need twelve more chapters, I would think, to understand that they are going to be together. Willa realizing she can be strong is a good lesson for true life relationships.
I loved Everett’s mom, she was such a mom.
The book was fun to read, and the Monroe boys are all so cute. I looked forward to every Everett Chapter to enjoy Chris’s narration. On your the next book.

Meh...
The whole storyline felt rushed. One minute Sabrina can't talk to anyone, then she loses her virginity and going out. I appreciate the character growth, but it all seemed extremely rushed in order to finish the book.
The female narrator was not good. Her voice for Sabrina was childish and hard to listen to. I had a hard time determining when she was reading dialogue, Sabrina's thoughts , or the story. There were times when it seemed like she didn't pause between sentences. I honestly wanted to return it buy Audible wouldn't let me.
Brinkley was amazing, which is the main reason why I got the book and being part of Pennyverse.

Great narration!
I honestly don't know why I'm rating this so low. I absolutely LOVED these new-to-me narrators, the characters were well developed, and the writing seemed good. But the story just never drew me in. And there were A LOT of cameo visits from other book couples, books that I have never read, so I found it kind of confusing and annoying, though my guess is that other readers will love seeing the Winstons again.

Weak story / narration
Chris Brinkley was brilliant as always. The female narrator was breathy to the point of distraction. The story didn’t really offer much in the way of a dynamic plot.
