About this listen
Is it an accidental pregnancy if it’s purposefully planned?
Autumn Kulis wants a baby. It’s that simple and that complicated because one thing stands in her way: She doesn’t have a man in her life. And at almost 40, she isn’t getting any younger. On a two-week trip to her brother’s lakeside cottage, a plan forms. Make a list of three men. Sleep with each of them. Allow nature to take its course.
Only, a certain someone gets in her way.
Logan Anders goes with the flow of life. Divorced, single dad, he works hard and occasionally plays harder. When his college roommate invites him to Lakeside Cottage for two weeks, he hadn’t remembered his best friend’s little sister being so hot. Nor was he a fan of her plan to find a baby daddy. He’s determined to make her list, then tear it to shreds leaving him the only man horizontal with her.
A crush revealed exposes the desire for her brother’s best friend and a simple proposition could be the second chance they both need to really live.
It’s The Big Chill of 2021, including a reunion of friends gone awry when someone wants to get pregnant and someone else wants to be the one to give her everything.
Welcome to Lakeside Cottage, a new adventure in over-40 romance and second chances at love by L.B. Dunbar.

Davis was five years older than me . . . antisocial and temperamental. And there was the little fact that he didn't know I existed. Still, I gave him my heart, and he crushed it. So I picked up the pieces and ran away to New York City. I had a plan that would keep my heart intact for years. But one phone call changed everything. Returning home meant facing the past . . . and the man who ruined me. I had hoped that the mountain had swallowed him whole.

Story
British ad exec Dylan Locke isn't looking for love. He isn't looking for fate. He's definitely not looking for Audrey Lind. She's pretty, far too young, and overly romantic - in short, exhausting. But when the girl, young enough to be his daughter, literally lands in his lap and asks for his expertise, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't interested. In her body, in her innocence, in her philosophy. In the kind of kismet that starts with kisses. But Audrey isn't looking for love either - she's looking for lessons, and she's certain Dylan knows everything she needs to learn.

After ending the world’s worst relationship, Marin Grey had sworn off men. So it was rather inconvenient that she couldn’t seem to keep her eyes and thoughts off the Ice King himself, Pierce Walton—also known as her ex-boyfriend’s older, much hotter brother. He was cold, callous, and rude. He was also the most gorgeous man she’d ever laid eyes on. When circumstances dictate they put their swords away so Marin can help Pierce take care of his son, that ice-cold hate suddenly takes a turn into something much hotter.

What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

LB Dunbar has a gift of storytelling. Her books are always so true, real and gritty. This story bring so many feels to life. The audiobook has dual narrators. I loved the voice for Logan but Autumns voice read a little slow for me so I just upped the reading speed. Cannot wait for the next story!

This one was so beautiful. She is his best friends younger sister whom he knew well. He someone she had had feelings for years ago that never truly went away.
They came together under the guise of a mission and feelings blossomed into love ❤️
The love of friendship blossomed in this beautiful story also.
TW for talk of cancer and death but it is so beautifully handled
Narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Kelsey Navarro whom are both favorites of mine. Such talent and passion

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
L B Dunbar‘s new series has just dictated my reading requirements for the foreseeable future and the audio narration is on point
The Story of four distinctly different guys who form an unbreakable bond in college, brought together by Ben to reignite their friendship in their forties.
Two weeks together will see them rekindle their friendships and bring about huge changes for all of them. With the addition of the sub story of Autumn, Ben’s younger sister, chasing her dream to have a child, though single and with past romantic interests who have deceived her, the intertwined stories are full of honesty and emotions.
Ben, Logan, Mason and Zack are wonderfully crafted characters but it’s the relationship between Logan and Autumn, Ben’s little sister, that will have your emotional radar flaring. The narrators have honed these characters perfectly and deliver a heartwarming and at times gut wrenching story, beautifully crafted and delivered with L B Dunbar’s inimitable style and flare and narrated with such wonderful feeling.
I can’t wait to for more from this audio series.

This story was nothing like I expected. Nothing. This was more than a beautiful love story this was a story about living just like the title says. This was a story about living your best life with no regrets. It was about second chances and living in the moment.
I loved everything about this book from that first page till the last. This book will make you laugh and it will make you cry. It will fill your heart with love and joy.
Logan and Autumn fit together perfectly. What they both thought was a missed chance at happiness was right in front of both of them. I loved the depth this story had as well as the amazing characters.
This story gave you all the feels and more. It was realistic and emotional and just plain beautiful. I look forward to more in this series.

The narration was absolutely fantastic. Both narrators performed brilliantly. That said sometimes in duel narration, one narrator reads faster than the other so the flow of the story changed a bit. This did not change how much I loved this book and can’t wait for more. This is book 1 and can be read as a standalone.
I highly recommend this book.

🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Aaron Shedlock and Kelsey Navarro are mega talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They did a stellar job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow and tell who is who. Their portrayal of the characters was spot on, they had a complete understanding of each role they played, sounding believable that role and just as I pictured they would sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. Both Shedlock and Navarro are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another exceptional listen.
