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.

Surely, my older sister has lost her mind. There is no way I’m driving her insufferable - albeit sexy silver fox - boss 2,000 miles. This is my spirit trip. The Mother Road is intended to help me reclaim myself. Letting go of my past, I’m only looking forward to the path ahead of me. But my gaze keeps wandering to the rearview mirror, wondering what secrets my grouchy passenger keeps and how that silver scruff might feel blazing a trail on hidden parts of me.

Midge Everette: I'm 41 today. It's my birthday, and I'm crying over burnt toast. That's not some euphemism. Literally, I'm sobbing over crusty bread, so I call a crisis center. I just need someone to talk to about life. Only I recognize the smoky voice of the man on the line. Sweet cheese, don't let it be... Hank Paige: As a former rock star, I once had it all. Fame. Fortune. Females. Except for the one thing I wanted most. Then I lost everything. I fix cars now and restore other people's dreams. I just want to be somebody's someone.

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Story
The moment I saw her walk through the door of Forbidden Ink, I knew she was the one. With her wide hips, thick thighs, and perfect breasts, she's every man's wet dream. Add to that her dark, soulful eyes, pouty lips, and a body covered in gorgeous art, and I knew I needed to make her mine. She's a walking contradiction of sass and strength and determination, hidden by insecurity and self-doubt. She's everything I could ever want or need, but she doesn't see what I see.

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.
