About this listen

There are worse things than turning 40.

However, I can’t seem to evade the worry of my biological clock, and my fear that time is running out. I’ve always wanted to be a mother, and with each passing day, there is a greater chance that might be a dream of mine that will never come true.

And if the clock isn’t loud enough—my controlling and overly judgmental mom is. Her snide comments never go unsaid, and her numerous failed attempts at setting me up with any new bachelors in town are enough to spur small town gossip for months at a time. Never mind the fact that she tried to set me up with Old Man Bucky down the street from her—the frail but sweet widow who walks with a cane and has grandchildren my age.

But this isn’t about my mom or her obsessive need to see me settle down and pop out the grand babies she so desperately wants. This is about the emptiness that has lingered inside of me for so long that I worry I will never fill it.

I have a lot to be thankful for in my life. I’m in good health, I run a successful cafe that I inherited from my grandparents, and an incredibly handsome best friend who is willing to help make my dream of becoming a mother come true.

It may not be the most conventional way to start a family, but there is no one that I trust more. Besides, we agreed that it would only happen once. Regardless of the outcome, we walk away with our friendship intact. I know this is crossing the line of friendship, but this is my one shot. It’s one night.

What could possibly go wrong?

Enjoyed the Book

I enjoyed the book. The narrator left a bit to be desired. Unless you paid very close attention, you couldn’t tell when she changed from one person to another in the book. Every person’s voice sounded the same. So, in some instances you couldn’t tell who was talking in the book.

Lovely story

The narrator for this book did a great job with this. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the book. It is an amazing story focused around two friends that become so much more. Plus it's an engaging story with wonderful characters that'll hold your attention from the first chapter until the very end.

Yep one time is all it takes!

I loved the story. I mean the girl has grit to ask her bestie for that kind of favor. I thought it was cute how they thought things would remain the same. The one time wasn’t enough apparently they went all out throughout the book. It was sweet and I loved there back and forth. I also had many laugh out load moments. The narrator was good I was just hoping she could try to sound masculine when it came the to make character . Other Than that she narrated well.

Cute love story...

Abby wants a baby and her single, hot, endowed best friend volunteers to do the deed-- ONCE. They find chemistry in ways beyond their friendship and things get complicated. They always do.

Narrator is new to me and does a great job, eh. It's obvious that she's Canadian and I don't have any bias against her, but her accent really does comes through.

Loved this story!

This was a great story of friends to lovers. What seemed to be a simple understanding turned more. Secrets were kept, feelings not told until it was almost too late. This story was put together great, buy the narrator.

Great Friends to Lovers

Samantha did not disappoint with this one. What a great friends to lovers story that really has all the feels🥹 After turning 40 and still being single with no kids Abby is struggling. Opens up to her best friend Nate and things get spicy. There was always an attraction between the two but fear of what it would do to their friendship neither made the first move, but that doesn’t stop them from just one time together to make a baby. The chemistry between the characters and the story just kept me wanting more. I absolutely enjoyed Abby and Nate's story.

Loved this!

Just One Time is book #1 in the Beaumont Creek series. Abby is now 40 and has baby fever. She tells her best friend Nate about her wish and Nate tells her he’ll be the donor, the old fashioned way. The fine line between love and friendship gets blurred then crossed when their agreement of just one time turns into so much more. This story takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions to get the HEA. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

The narrator is new to me. She did a good job but don’t expect any change between her female/male character voice.

Beaumont Creek Series!!!

Beaumont Creek Series book 1, Just One Time. I so read/listened to these out of order but I didn’t miss anything, however, I will go back and redo these in the series order because I love seeing the characters and who doesn’t enjoy a re-read!!!

Tropes:
• Friends to lovers
• Small town
• HOT
Abby and Nate have been best friends since grade school so who else do you ask if not your best friend! Abby is 40 and knows her internal biological clock is ticking but she wants to be a mother but doesn’t want just anyone, she is holding out for the “right” person. As time goes on, she decides to ask Nate if he will help her.

This was such a good story! Excited to see/hear what is next!

Samantha pulled me in with her fun and loveable ch

Abby wants a baby and with her age know she is running out of time. Nate is her best friend and kindly volunteers for the job! They figure that just one time should be enough! With the chemistry they had there was no way they could stop at just one time! What they didn't consider is what that kind of intimacy would do to them and what kinds of feelings they would reveal. I'm looking forward to reading the rest in this series and others by Samantha Baca!

My favorite troupes!

My favorite rom com troupes! Mature, not perfect best friends to lovers that is the perfect blend of fun, wit, and spice! Braylee Spade provided a great performance narrating. The only thing that would have made it even better was if there was a male narrator reading Nate’s chapters because occasionally I had to rewind to figure out if it was Nate or Abby’s chapter since they’re written from the first person’s perspective. But overall I enjoyed it!
