About this listen

Once bitten, twice shy.

Valarie thought she was living a fairytale–a whirlwind romance in college, an engagement, plans for the wedding of her dreams, and her happily ever after waiting at the end.

When her forever turns into never, she vows that love and romance were left in the past with her broken heart. Then she meets Ethan, a man who knows similar heartache, and begins to wonder if it’s possible to love again.

As the two work together to plan the perfect wedding for their best friends, Valarie starts to reexamine herself and the things she truly wants out of life.

Love this story and narration. I want to call it a second chance romance but I'm not sure if I'm using that term correctly. Ethan and Valerie give love a second chance. they become good friends while planning their friends' wedding and fall in love with each other during the process. throughout the story they both overcome fear and heartache. it's short and sweet and everything you want in a fairytale romance with a little more depth. the narrator did a beautiful job bringing these wonderful characters to life.

I've Said Love is a sweet, wholesome read. Val and Ethan grow together and their story is definitely healing. I loved hearing Val grow after her breakup and Ethan heal from his hurt. There are chaste kisses and hugs, lots of smiles, and budding romance. Madison's narration was also fantastic! I listened at both 1x and 1.25x speed and everything was still perfectly enunciated with a perfect level of emotion, and it's only 4.25hrs long. Genuinely, it's one of the better audiobooks I've listened to! I loved this feel-good romance. C.P. Cabaniss nailed it again.

What you’ll find in I’ve Said Love:

Main characters jaded by past heartbreak 👩‍🦰👱‍♂️💔…

… asked to plan their best friends’ wedding (pick venue, taste test cakes, try on bridal dresses, etc.) 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️…

… while living far apart so they communicate mostly by phone📱…

… which leads to a delicious slow burn friends to more! 💞❤️‍🔥

This is the second book in the series and the events in this story are standalone. However, the characters from the first book are featured so prominently in this book and the friend group is so close knit, that I would probably recommend reading book 1 first to find out more of the history.

It’s worth noting that this story spends more time on the characters’ grieving and healing processes after heartache, instead of just rushing past that part of their lives in pursuit of new romance. I believe the book starts about a year after the heartbreak took place, and Valerie (the FMC) is still going through depression. I think that’s probably more realistic out here in the real world, but generally glossed over in the romance genre, so I appreciated the authenticity. ❤️‍🩹 Don’t worry though, the slow burn does pay off with romance of its own, too! (clean romance/kisses only)

Narration note: Madison Brunoehler was a new narrator for me and I enjoyed her performance! The book is told through the FMC’s perspective, but it’s really important to have a distinguishable male voice for those parts as well and she did. She even had to take it a step farther because the MMC’s voice is specifically written as raspy and with vocal fry, so I think she did a good job!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It was well written, and Courtney picked a good voice for her book. It's a cute story of the bridesmaids and best man being tasked with planning their friend's wedding together and their adventure as they plan the wedding and find themselves coming closer together. It is a sweet romance with kisses only. My kind of romance. There was a 3rd act break up that I don't love, but if you do, then you will love this book even more. I surprisingly didn't mind this one because of how Courtney pulled it off. I enjoyed the growth of each of the main characters and the dynamic between them. The way that this book ends will make you sing with the way the book is beautifully tied together. So get yourself a copy and find out for yourself.

A delightful romance of two friends
