About this listen
First, I hit him with my car. Then I hit him with an offer he couldn’t refuse.
Annabelle
My father really outdid himself this time. If he wasn’t already the worst, his newest demand surely gave him that title—if I wanted to take over the family company, I needed to get married.
Within the next six months.
He thought he had me right where he wanted me…that I’d marry one of his lackeys. A man who’d keep me in line with Dad’s vision for both me and Parker Industries.
Well, dear old Dad had another thing coming. I was no pushover, bowing to the whims of him or any man. I had a plan. And that plan’s name was Ryder Perry.
Ryder
Red River, Texas was worse than I thought it was going to be when I moved here with my brothers to renovate the old ranch home we inherited from a distant relative. Mosquitos, flies, and the lung-clogging humidity were making me miserable, and that misery was only compounded when a spoiled rotten princess slammed into my truck and had the audacity to blame me.
The next time I saw her, she offered me two things—an apology for her behavior and a million dollars…to marry her.
I thought she was drunk. Or crazy. Or maybe a little bit of both. I wasn’t sure.
But one thing was for sure—my time in Red River just got a lot more interesting.
This is a standalone romance with lots of spice and snarky humor. It is book one in a series of standalones featuring four hot brothers finding love in a small town. HEA guaranteed!

Story
I might be the most promising quarterback in college football today, but once I was just a boy desperately in love with the wrong girl, one I’d very much like to win back. She blocks me better than any player on the field, but to figure out my best play, first I need to understand how we got here. We have been apart longer than we were together but we can’t seem to stop torturing each other. Every guy she touches or allows to touch her is like a knife right to my heart. Not to be outdone, I play her game. No one will ever accuse me of giving less than everything.

Story
He thinks he's god's gift to women. She thinks he's a sex-mad jerk. For $10K he'll prove he can win her over. Arrogant. Womanizing. Jerk. Xavier Stone has been called many things, and he's proud of most of them. Driving a Ferrari 488, living in Tribeca, and running businesses that spit out $$$, he's living the dream. He can, and often does, have any woman he wants. Except for Isabel Laronde. That chick is something else. And right now, she's not interested. Failing to attract her attention, Xavier seeks to prove himself by placing a bet: $10K to win Isabel over and to get her into his bed.

I’m exactly the type of guy Elena should stay away from. Sweet, innocent women like her don’t look for relationships in motorcycle clubs. Especially one as classy and out of my league as Elena. I can’t resist swiping right on her dating profile for fun. I never imagined we’d be a match. I know I’d only be a quick thrill for her, but I’m getting tired of the women at the clubhouse anyway.

As a wolf, my hate towards Hunters was born from fire and blood. What's the most embarrassing thing you can do at the airport? Try accidentally stealing a sinfully gorgeous stranger's bag at the carousel—a stranger who also happens to be a dangerous bratva boss. It doesn't take him long to track me down. And from the knowing smile on his face when I open the door... I know he saw everything I packed for my best friend's bachelorette party, from the dresses to the heels to the scandalously tiny swimsuit.

I think the narrators did a good job. I enjoyed listening to their story. This was a cute, sweet, sexy hot story. Annabelle meets Ryder when she hits his truck. Then later sees him at a bar and propositions him to enter into a fake marriage. Loved it the interaction between the two and his brothers makes the story interesting. Throw in a conniving father makes the story entertaining.
Good Story!

Melissa Green, what a great voice! She comes in full barrel as Belle. She is a strong personality with a hint of vulnerability that grows as Ryder gets to know her. I love the way Green portrays her with all the emotions. Jarman Day is so smooth and sweet, it's impossible not to fall for Ryder. He finds this man's Achilles heel and let's all the feels come through. Loved this combination and their narration.
Great start to the Perry men!

It Started with a Bang is book one in the Red River Romps series. I loved Belle and Ryder. This book caught my attention from the very beginning. Belle has to get married to take over her family business. She is willing to do whatever it takes. She makes a crazy offer to Ryder after bumping into him. I can't wait for the rest of this series.
Melissa Green and Jarman Day did a fantastic job narrating this book.

🎧📚🎧 Melissa Green and Jarman Day did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life and delivering a perfect portrayal of each. Green nailed it as Annabelle, grasping all aspects of her personality and demeanor, from her fierceness to her vulnerabilities and all in between, also handled her angst and snarky dialogue effortlessly. Day was just as fabulous as Ryder and showcasing his personality and demeanor perfectly, as the swoon worthy character he was. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters, giving each their own voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance takes the story to another level.

Ultimately a really fun read—though the writing could be a bit stronger at times. For example, several chapters in, after I’d obviously been along for all that unfolded, suddenly the ENTIRE BOOK so far, was recapped. That was both insulting and painfully boring. Things like this didn’t happen a ton though, and outside of them, this was a great read!
Also, dangling modifiers. For example, “Picking up her whiskey sour, she drained it…”. This is a continuity issue, she couldn’t be drinking and picking up said drink at the same time. 😉
Sexism.
Enemies-to-lovers.
Fake relationship.
B0dy shaming.
Paparazzi.
Scheming.
Secret millionaire.
Billionaire x heiress female lead.
Sizzling chemistry.
Fun banter.
Overall:
While predictable, this did still basically grip me right away because the characters are likeable, there was a parent I loved to hate from the very start, and the plot, though very overused, was executed in a fun way.
Super cute, and mostly fun. Based on this read, would I read more from this author? Yes.
3.5 stars.
