About this listen
Retired fencing Olympian Hugo De la Vega lives a quiet life in Olive Township. He has his friends, his olive orchard, and a recurring daydream about what he would say to his father's murderer if given the chance to look him in the eyes.
True crime podcaster Mallory Hawkins arrives in the eclectic small desert town with one purpose: to investigate Hugo's father's unsolved murder from twenty years ago.
A chance meeting at a sandwich shop has Hugo harmlessly flirting with Mallory, until he realizes she's the stubborn woman who has been hounding him for months. Hugo's swift and emphatic refusal to support her investigation forces Mallory to reveal her personal connection to the case.
Now Hugo is spending time with the woman whose emails he once deleted. She's witty, eternally curious, and pregnant. Finding this out should make it easier for Hugo to deny the magnetic pull he feels toward her, but it has the opposite effect.
When a situation threatens Mallory and her baby's safety, Hugo finds himself moving her into his house at the orchard. Now they're splitting time between a search for justice and fighting their mutual attraction... until a middle of the night encounter in the kitchen has them taking their relationship from professional to personal.
With each passing day, Hugo gets closer to laying it all out on the line for Mallory.
As long as the killer doesn't get to her first.
Hugo is the second in a four-book contemporary romance series inspired by the film The Princess Bride. Expect swoon, sass, spice, and happily ever afters.

Story
The entirety of Olive Township is looking forward to the fast-approaching day when Daisy St. James will say "I do" to the town golden boy. There’s just one little catch. Daisy isn’t in love. Her impending nuptials are transactional in nature, and that suits Daisy just fine. She learned the hard way a long time ago that true love does not exist, so what does it matter if her marriage is a farce?

Story
You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Myles St. James is tearing my world apart. Wish I’d known that before I slept with him. It was supposed to be a one-night stand. Like I knew anything about those. But I needed to blow off steam. My ex had just gotten engaged. My dry spell was nearing six months. And my booming wedding planning business—the one I started with my bestie—was about to lose its favorite venue to some bulldozer-happy developer from New York.

Fighting wildfires is the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do and I’m damn good at it. Being the captain of an interagency hotshot crew of wildland firefighters is high-risk, high-reward. The risk blindsided me five years ago when I lost one of my crew and was changed forever. Now the only rewards I allow are to work harder, smarter, and enjoy easy, sexy nights with strangers. Until I meet Prescott Timmons. Her smart-mouth and adventurous spirit have me forgetting all of my rules—until her past shows up and lies start to feel too familiar.

Six years ago, Maria Romano got her birthday wish—a kiss from Enzo Costa. A man she could never take her eyes off, but who seemed as haunted as her favorite book boyfriends and strictly off-limits. Just one unforgettable moment in the dark and then he was gone. Now Maria is a divorced single mom, moving on and open to romance again. Fatefully, it’s with the new head chef at her sister’s restaurant: Enzo. A gentler man than the one she remembers, yet fire still burns. And a warning still lingers: don’t get too close.

As a single mom with my hands and heart full, finding love is the last thing on my mind. Then Everett Windward comes along. My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy—and before I know it, I have a new friend…with benefits. Fun and filthy benefits. There’s just one problem—He’s also my son’s teacher. That alone should have me pumping the brakes… except it doesn’t. I’m drawn to him and to the way he makes me feel. Everett has a filthy side that has reignited something inside of me that I haven’t felt in years.

Story
There's rich. Then there's the Ellsworth family. The Kensingtons. American royalty. Money buys power, and power always has a price. The fear of those who already possess both? Losing it. The best way to ensure keeping it? Alliances. And elites don't marry down—they marry equal. For Scarlett Ellsworth and Crew Kensington, that leaves one option: each other. Accepting that inevitability is very different from embracing it. That's the only thing they agree upon. It was meant to be a union for better and for business.

Story
All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

I never thought I’d be a runaway bride. But when it came down to it, I just couldn’t marry the wrong man. So, I ran. And somehow, I ended up in Star Falls, Colorado—stranded, no luggage, no plan—in a wedding dress with a past I’d rather forget. Fate lands me in the only available rental in town, a cozy little cabin… right next door to Byron Miller, the brooding billionaire who wants nothing to do with me. Or this town.

I’m the darling of Australian TV. A good-girl actress with a spotless record. Or at least, that’s what I let the public believe. But what I do behind closed doors would shock them all. I’m a far cry from the girl next door I play on their screens each night.

Story
Beau Slater sure brings the fireworks. Too bad they’re not the good kind. My brother’s best friend was so smoking hot, he blew up our small-town graduation night with one humiliating almost-kiss. It took me five years, one potential dream job, and three thousand miles to diffuse that horrifying memory. So when my worst enemy and I are forced together by our meddling mothers for a first-ever Christmas in July, I can’t risk Beau reigniting my heart. Which means I’m probably supremely stupid to enlist him in my plot to teach our manipulative families a lesson.

Moving to a small town and renovating the old farmhouse was a step in the right direction. But bickering with my startling good looking, yet much older neighbor was not part of my plan.

After the stunt my ex pulled, no one would blame me if I swore off men forever, especially one like Mr Jay Anderson, Hollywood’s sexiest heartthrob. Maybe undressing me with his striking blue eyes as I perform the safety demonstration on a flight to LA is normal behaviour for him. Maybe not. But I know one thing for sure, he should come with a warning label. Because once you meet a man like Jay Anderson, there is no going back.

When his former hockey coach passes away, Declan Cadell is shocked to learn the man left him a cattle ranch. Well, not exactly. He's got one little hurdle to jump first. He has to win a trivia contest against the man's estranged daughter. Oh, and there's a caveat: he's only in the running if he lives and works with the spoiled princess who blew off one of the greatest men he's ever known. As if it wasn't hurtful enough that Seraphina Crutchley's biological father replaced her with a bunch of sweaty hockey boys, now he's forcing her to vie for her inheritance with one of them.

The initial friction between Hugo and Mallory is palpable and engaging, with Hugo’s emphatic refusal to cooperate giving way to a grudging alliance once Mallory reveals her deeply personal connection to the investigation. The evolving dynamic between them is a highlight, marked by witty banter and an undeniable magnetic pull, even as Hugo grapples with Mallory's pregnancy. Donahue masterfully captures Hugo’s conflicted emotions and protective instincts, while Clay imbues Mallory with a perfect balance of stubborn resolve and vulnerability.
As the investigation intensifies, threatening Mallory and her unborn child, Hugo’s protective nature takes over, leading to their cohabitation. This forced proximity fuels their mutual attraction, shifting their relationship from professional to deeply personal in a steamy, well-earned middle-of-the-night encounter. The narrators skillfully navigate these emotional shifts, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the burgeoning romance amidst the underlying tension of the murder mystery. "Hugo" is a satisfying listen for anyone who enjoys a captivating whodunit intertwined with a heartfelt, passionate love story, all expertly delivered through the engaging performances of Clay and Donahue.

First and foremost, I need to just say how cute it is that the town of Olive Township is a narrator in its own right, and I just love how much it’s cheering on its townspeople. 🥰
So this whole series is *inspired* by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦, and it has been so fun so far! It’s not so heavy handed that its a repeat of the original story, and you definitely do not need to be a fan or have watched/read the original works to enjoy these stories, but it sure has been fun for me to pick out all the little familiarities.
In Book 1, we get Westley’s story, in Book 2, we get the incomparable Inigo Montoya’s.
A pregnant true crime podcaster coming to town to solve the decades old murder of Hugo’s father, the murder for which he would love to seek revenge…This one definitely had a romantic suspense feel to it, which led to an exciting finale, but I would say most of book leans heavily into the romantic aspects, for sure.
I’m really enjoying these books so far, and I *think* we’re being teased about a Fezzik story in the next one? 👀
Audiobook notes: Duet narration! Both narrators were great, and if I’m not mistaken, that was Hannah Chiclana (my personal standout narrator from book 1) back for the town’s “voice”, and I loved that!
What this book is giving:
✅ Small Town Romance
✅ Duet Narration
✅ Inigo Montoya-coded
✅ Olympic Gold Medalist in Fencing
✅ She’s pregnant
✅ It’s not his
✅ True Crime Podcast Crime Solving

I loved Hugo and Mallory’s meeting. This story has all the small town drama, family/town meddling. Hugo immediately steps in to help when Mallory seems to be on a lead to her case and her safety is threatened! Did I mention Hugo is an Olive farmer and a gold medalist fencer… and well you can find out the rest on that. 🥵
Their chemistry was amazing, and the twists and turns to this story were so fun to watch unravel. I really enjoyed this from the start of this story, to the last bit and can’t wait to re visit Olive Township.

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Hugo and Mallory, both as friends and as something more. Instant love isn’t usually my favorite trope, but it was well-written and didn't mind it all. The added suspense also kept things interesting and exciting.
One thing I particularly appreciated was how, despite having a large cast of characters, it never felt overwhelming. Everyone fit into the story in a way that made sense and added value.
Sweet with a hint of suspense

🫒Forced proximity
🫒Undeniably connection

When Mallory comes into the town with the goal to meet Hugo, she doesn’t expect to fall in love with him. Mallory is a true crime podcaster and she wants to solve her sister’s m$rder. She suspects that Hugo’s father was dealt the same fault by the same person, so she starts her mission to solve it.
Hugo is the golden retriever of golden retrievers. He is sweet and caring and just an all around good guy. I loved how instantly he took to Mallory and took care of her and peanut, aka her unborn child. These two were so cute from start to finish.
Marissa Clay, Aaron Donahue, and Hannah Chiclana do a great job with this narration. Their voices really drew me in and kept me on the edge of my seat with this story!
Great narration!

As they search for answers they grow closer. I found it endearing how he was protective of her and Peanut. Without realizing it, he was letting her and everyone in town know he was falling for Mallory. Mallory was also falling for him, but couldn’t understand why he would want the responsibility when Peanut’s biological father didn’t want anything to do with them.
The innocent touches, intimate moments, and quiet moment they had were all fantastic. The connection they ended up having came in handy, once the mystery was solved. Even though I suspected who was involved, I didn’t have the exact reason until the end. I am loving this series so far and can’t wait for Vivi’s book.
The narrators did a fantastic job of bringing Hugo and Mallory to life. The emotion they brought to the words made me feel like I was experiencing everything in real life. I would definitely listen to more books narrated by these narrators.
I received an ARC and this is my honest, voluntary review.
