Story
She's the shy girl. The one you'd never notice. But I did. I watched her, studied her. While she worked in the library, meticulously rearranging books as though she'd written them herself. I wanted her, so I made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Tell me your deepest, darkest wish... And I will make it come true. One whisper... One single wish... And I bought her soul.

Story
My ex’s brother is officially off-limits. Right? He’s ten years older. He’s only in town for a few weeks. And did I mention he’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother? But when I agree to be the grumpy lumberjack’s temporary assistant, it gets harder and harder to resist him. He’s all beard, broad shoulders, and growls, but I savor every one of his rare smiles.

Story
I'm not a worldly woman. I'm not cultured, well-traveled, or well educated. I'm just a housewife. A mother. I'm the woman with the handsome husband, beautiful daughter, the large house. If you saw it from the outside, you'd probably think I have the perfect life. You would most definitely be wrong. But I don't blame you. We all see what we want to see, turning a blind eye to what others want to stay hidden. Especially when it comes to love. They say love is blind. But I'm more apt to say it's wretched. Love is what made me stay. But love is also what saved me.

Pro tip: If your goal is to stay single so you can focus on not repeating last season’s disaster, maybe don’t ask a dark-haired beauty with looks that could kill to pretend to be your date. Especially not when her laugh makes you feel alive for the first time in years. Because that charade may last longer than you’d anticipated…and trying to keep things fake? Feels like a damn high stick to the heart.

I let her slip through my fingers—No, that's a lie. I was reckless and pushed her away. I was never supposed to fall for her . . . my tutor, my best friend. My fantasy. I tried to stay away. I failed. Then we graduated and everything changed. All I needed was a step back, a moment to breathe. But by the time I came up for air, she was in the arms of another man. Four years later, everything is different. And when I see her again, I remember why I should have never let her go in the first place.

After two years of hiding, I'm finally free, and all I want is some peace and maybe a little garden to tend. The adorable cabin in the forest is just what I'm looking for, private and secluded. Other than the long-dead inhabitants of the old graveyard nearby, I only have one neighbor. Arlow Shaw is antisocial if not outright reclusive, quiet, and guarded when it comes to discussing himself. A nature lover, he spends most of his time in the forest or tending to his bee hives. His calming effect on me is perplexing but exactly what I need.

🎧📚🎧 Lucy Rivers and Lee Samuels were fantastic voicing these characters, and I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagine the characters to sound. Both grasped every aspect of their characters’s personality and demeanor perfectly. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two made a great team, with voices and talent that complement each other and an enthralling performance that keeps you glued to the story. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.
Wonderful Story & Listen🎧 Sweet & Heartwarming!

After an unexpected run-in with a stray dog, Farrah finds herself at the local vet clinic, and that’s where fate introduces her to Nash, a widowed, single-dad veterinarian. Farrah, still reeling from the recent loss of both her parents, is caught in that in-between of grief and starting over. She has a job lined up, a plan in place, but then Nash walks in with his quiet strength and easy charm… and everything shifts.
Narrated in dual POV by Lucy Rivers and Lee Samuels, this audiobook strikes the perfect balance between sweet and sexy. Lucy brings Farrah to life with just the right amount of vulnerability, portraying a woman trying to stay strong while feeling lost. Lee gives Nash that protective, swoon-worthy edge that makes him impossible not to fall for. He’s gentle, grounded, and not afraid to fall fast and hard.
Leslie Pike is a master of packing big heart into short listens, and Desting Laughs is no exception. It’s tender, character-driven, and laced with just the right amount of spice and angst to keep your heart full of all the feels!

Lee Samuels and Lucy Rivers did a great job bringing these characters and story to life. They are so easy to listen to as they flawlessly deliver all the fun banter, emotion, and steam. They made this romance even more captivating and delightful.

This one is about Nash and Farrah. They met by chance after she hit a dog with her car. They spent that one evening together and had a great time. They stated they were just friends to his family but they of course saw through that charade lol
I like how these books aren’t “insta love” but since they are short they are accelerated and don’t have too much of the typical angst and drama.
I loved how things played out with their relationship and her friendship to mothering relationship with Max, Nash’s son.
This story was so beautiful.
This book was brought to life wonderfully by Lee Samuels and Lucy Rivers!

We have Nash, a single dad and devoted veterinarian, and Farrah, who’s learning to live for herself again after years of caring for her ill parents. Their connection is instant, but it’s also layered with real emotion and healing, making their love story all the more beautiful. And yes, there’s a touch of spice sprinkled throughout, just enough to turn up the heat.
The audiobook narration was fantastic. Lucy Rivers is a favorite of mine, she never misses, and this was no exception. This was my first time hearing Lee Samuels, and I was impressed. He captured Nash’s essence so well, strong, steady, and tender when it counts.
If you love fast-listen romances with depth, connection, a little heat, and a lot of heart, definitely give this one a try—especially in audio!
Sweet, Charming, and So Easy to Fall Into!

The narration for this story is performed by Lucy Rivers and Lee Samuels, who both blew me out of the water! You pretty much cannot go wrong with either of these performers. Lucy Rivers beautifully brings the character of Farrah to life with all her insecurities, all her grief, all her goodness, and all her strength. And Lee Samuels absolutely shines in his portrayal of Nash. His performance of this loving and loyal character is larger than life, and just made me fall in love with Nash all the more. Thanks to Leslie Pike’s words and the voice acting talents of Lucy Rivers and Lee Samuels, I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this short and sweet, romantic gem of a story!
