About this listen
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes the third novella in the Kentbury Tales series.
Up until a year ago, I had everything going for me.
A husband, children . . . the best apartment in SOHO.
Everything was great until a business deal went wrong and I was no longer useful.
I lost everything, including custody of my kids.
My father disowned me, just like my sister before me.
Fortunately, one of my brothers took me into his home.
I’m picking up the pieces, learning to handle my grandmother’s bakery…
And dealing with my brother’s best friend.
Henrik Tremblay is grumpy, infuriating, and too handsome for my broken heart.
It’s impossible to avoid him in this small town.
And when my grandmother pushes us to organize the annual love festival. . . I get the feeling only one of us will come out of this alive.
Let the mind games begin.

Story
I don’t have time for flings. Love is out of the question. As a single mom and small-town doctor, my plate is more than full. But when Drake Kershaw, an experienced physician with a mysterious past, comes into my life, I can't resist his charm. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. Drake is smart, charming, and has a heart of gold. But he’s also grumpy and hesitant to let anyone close. Like the rest of his wealthy family, he’s full of secrets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dangerous. I should stay away, but how can I when he works in my practice?

Story
This wasn’t the typical boy meets girl story. In our case, it was extraordinary: a boy met a girl and another boy. And he fell madly in love with both. Greyson was a gifted musician whose songs soothed even the most shattered souls. Aerin was a ballerina, exuding an elegance that could steal your breath away. They weren’t just my loves. They were my reason to breathe—my world. Until a tragedy broke us into a thousand pieces.

I shouldn’t be alive. I should’ve died in that plane crash. Instead, I survived. Thrived, even. After all, I’m a rock star and a billionaire. There’s nothing I can’t buy. Nothing, except peace. And when it all comes crashing down around me… The guilt. The pain. The sorrow. That’s when she appears. The one woman I’m not allowed to love. I needed her to fill the void after everything was lost. There she was, ready, and grieving too. Both of us are broken, shattered people.

If practice makes perfect, I should excel at pretending that Heath Miller doesn’t affect me. That I’m immune to that wide jaw, taut body, and the unique woodsy-aftershave-engine-oil scent that makes my ovaries explode. Since before I could walk, he’s been my champion. My best friend. The one problem I can’t solve. Why? If I tell him I love him, I’ll lose him and his adorable daughter. Maybe the best Christmas gift I can give him—and myself—is to turn in the keys to my B&B and put some distance between us.

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.

You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing. Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex. And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction. The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you. And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

Reconnecting
The Kentbury series is short novellas that give lots of love and happy feelings. This is Lou and Henrik's return to Kentbury, and to find what they lost many years ago. Lou thought she had it all until it all fell apart and now she is back in her hometown without her kids and feeling lost. Henrik loved Lou when they were young but he left and she married another man. When she is back and single he wants another chance at what they lost. There are sweet moments and plenty of banter as well as some heat. I loved how Henrik was so patient with Lou and put her first above everything else. He becomes her hero and gets her what she wants and needs which in turn gives him what he wants too, which is her. Sweet story.
Mackenzie Cartwright and Greyson Owens delivered a wonderful performance. They gave the characters emotion and personality and I loved listening to both of them.

Lovely story with great narration
I love this series from Claudia. Light, sweet and full of love. Lou and Henrik have know each other for many years but recently reconnected. I love how their friendship blooms and reignites some feelings. Their banter and dialogue is fantastic! Although this is a quick read you will still get all the feels and emotions in this small town, second chance at love story.

Love this delightful, heartwarming romance!
I am so in love with the Kentbury Tales series, and I absolutely adored Henrik and Louanne's endearing friends-to-Lovers romance! In the last book, Paul and McKay broke away from their father's awful influence, and found a beautiful life in Kentbury, now it's Lou's turn. After her Husband took everything from her, including her children, she turns to Paul to help her get her life in order. She moves to Kentbury to work for Paul and McKay in their bakery. Paul's friend, Henrik, was a professional hockey player until he had a career ending injury. Now he is also in Kentbury trying to figure out his life as well. When Henrik and Paul hung out as teens, Henrik had a special bond with Lou as well. But their lives went in different directions, and Lou has always been his greatest regret. Now they are in the same town, and single, and the connection they shared is coming back to life. Henrik wants his second chance with Lou, but she is determined to focus on getting her life in order for her kids. Will this finally be their time, and can Henrik prove that he is the perfect partner for Lou and her kids? I loved Henrik and Lou together! They helped each other discover their true selves, become stronger, and realize they were worthy of each other. Henrik was a rugged, grumpy lumberjack, who was so sweet and thoughtful with a heart of gold. I loved Lou's growth into a confident woman, and her reconnection with family. I also loved the sweet family that she and Henrik were building together.
Mackenzie Cartwright & Grayson Owens are terrific capturing each characters personality. Cartwright exudes Louanne's cautious and purposefulness, growing more confident into the thoughtful, loving woman she was always meant to be. This is my first listen to Owen's narration, and I absolutely loved his smooth, warm voice, and the passion he gives to his performance. He paired well with Cartwright adding depth and a fiery dynamic that made this story even more compelling.
Love in Kentbury is a delightful, heartwarming romance. The writing is addictive, engaging, filled with smart banter, wonderful characters and loads of steamy chemistry! I was completely captivated from word one!

Loved Henrik and Lou!
Happy sigh….Love in Kentbury by Claudia Burgoa was a sweet, swoony, small-town romance novella that made my heart flutter. Lou and Henrik’s journey to HEA had a few obstacles to overcome, like an overprotective big brother, but when they finally took their second chance on love, my heart melted.
Mackenzie Cartwright and Grayson Owens performed this novella in dual narration, and I loved these two paired together. Mackenzie’s performance captured Lou’s vulnerabilities and desires perfectly making you empathize and long for her to find happiness with Henrik. Grayson’s warm soothing tone made Henrik’s grumpy persona loveable and irresistible all at the same time. The text exchanges performed in duet-style narration were the icing on the cake!
Overall, I enjoyed this book! If you are a fan of a small-town romance with a broody former hockey player, a single mother looking to start fresh, a love festival, second chances, dedicated brothers, snowy Hallmark movie vibes with slow-burn spice, and a HEA that will warm your heart, then you will love Lou and Henrik’s romance. I always look forward to more from Claudia Burgoa.

Perfect Novella for Valentines Day
If you are a fan of:
small-town romance
MMC broody former hockey player
FMC single mother looking to start fresh,
a love festival,
dedicated brothers,
snowy Hallmark movie vibes in an apple orchard
This Claudia Burgoa book is for you.
Get the audio book; Grayson Owens and Mackenzie Cartright were chef kiss!
If Grayson reads it , I am buying it.
This is a great audiobook that you can listen to in a work day; all of Claudia Burgoa books have easter egg Cameo's that you sit and think ok ... which book were they in?
But her writing style is a warm hug full of second chances for everyone. and always a HEA.
So far my fave novella of 2024 and so few books have a Valentines day theme it should be one you read every year in February!

Perfect February Romance!
This was the perfect short rom-com for February and Valentine’s season. I've enjoyed each book in the Kentbury series, and the author always picks the best narrators! If you're looking for a cutesy, Hallmark-story feeling book vibe for the springtime, this one is perfect! Also, be sure to check out the other books in this series as well; they don't have to be read in any particular order that I've noticed so far.

Love in Kentbury
I finished this book in one sitting.
I've really been enjoying the Kentbury Tales Series and can't get enough of them.
That being said, this one felt the most... 'forced' of the 3 so far. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed the story and it works well, I just didn't feel the connection between the characters as strongly as the previous two couples in the series.
I do want more of this series and can't wait to see what else comes from this little Vermont town.

More Amazing Kentbury Tales! Fabulous Listen🎧
Claudia Burgoa pens another amazing romance novel set in her “Kentbury Tales” series and it is great to be back in Kentbury, a charming small town and one of my favorite places to visit and spend time in. The characters are realistic, relatable, easy to connect with and ones you could see yourself being friends with. Louanne’s life falls apart after leaving her husband, he took everything from her in divorce court, even their son and daughter. She is trying to rebuild her life and her brother suggests she does that in Kentbury, so having nothing to lose, she picks up and moves to Kentbury. They welcomed her open arms, but she was still worried her sister McKay would not be too happy about her moving there, but that worry was for naught. She stayed at the inn for her first night and got surprised by who she thought was in intruder in the morning, who turned out to be Henrik Tremblay, former pro hockey player and her brother's friend that she crushed on when she was younger. Henrik has a reputation to be a grump and a recluse, but it turns out he was neither, at least not to Lou. She avoided him at first, but good old Eugenia “Jeannie” had them work together and he could be quite the charmer, a caring and protective one. I thought these two were great together and for each other. Henrik had the resources to help battle her ex and made things right. This novella sized book packed a whole lot of story, a heartwarming one with the perfect balance of drama, heartwarming charm, heartfelt emotions and a sweet romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Mackenzie Cartwright and Grayson Owens are fantastic storytellers and they did an amazing job of bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving them their own voice and personality. Cartwright’s Lou was perfection, brought out all sides of her personality, from her vulnerabilities to building her strengths. Owens was spot on as Henrik, swoon worthy and not afraid to show his caring side. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue naturally and landed the humor effortlessly. These two make a great team and their performance elevates the already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Good story enhanced by good narration
With her life in quite a mess, Louanne chose to face her siblings now living in Kentbury. I loved the support that was shown by family and the residents of Kentbury. All were able to look past any hurt or attitude, and were very welcoming. Henrik was given a second chance with Louanne, and he was so supportive and protective of Louanne. With the help of others, Louanne's life was greatly improved, and her children were returned to her. I enjoyed this story and love the friendliness of Kentbury.
I had the chance to listen to the audiobook as well. Mackenzie Cartwright and Grayson Owens did a wonderful job bringing Kentbury to life, enhancing the overall story. A job well done.

I enjoyed listening to Henrik and Louann's story. She used to adore Henrik when she was younger. They used to have late night conversations in her parents' kitchen. The years were not kind to both. Now Louann has to find herself, find a job and a place to live so she can get her kids back. As the town grump, Henrik gets acsecond chance with Louann. MacKenzie Cartwright and Grayson Owen's did a great job with the narration.
