About this listen
Juliette Jennings lives her life like a tightly laced corset—not that she’d ever wear one. As a business owner of a stationery store, structure is her favorite. But when her best friend and her ex fall head over heels for each other, everything unravels and leaves her exposed. Even worse, a scandalous lingerie shop has moved in next door, and its tantalizing window displays will drive away her conservative customers. If only the owner would turn off the charm, Juliette is sure she could stop imagining her in nothing but the shop’s lacy best sellers.
Peyton Lane loves a clean slate. In fact, she desperately needs one after a series of bad choices. She also likes sexy things, and uptight Juliette next door would be a fun bow to untie. But when Peyton’s feelings enter new territory, she realizes the world might be scarier than she’d planned. Juliette has Peyton longing for forever on one hand and lacing up her running shoes with the other.
What’re a structured stationery store owner and a sexy lingerie peddler to do?

Who says you can’t go home again? Philadelphia real estate broker Devyn Winters is at the peak of her career, closing multi-million dollar deals and relishing it. She’s pretty much blocked out her formative years in Dreamer’s Bay, where the most exciting thing to happen was the twice a year bake sale. Unfortunately, a distress call hauls her back home and away from the life she’s constructed. Now the question is just how long until she can leave again? And when did boring Elizabeth Draper get so beautiful?

Story
Hannah Shephard likes her life, her job, and her perfectly cozy apartment around the corner from her shop. She’s never been one to take big risks and would much rather stay in on a Friday night with a warm cup of decaf and her favorite mystery novel. So, why do her friends insist she needs more? Plus, Hannah has bigger problems to focus on. She’s in trouble. Well, her bookstore is, and if she doesn’t find a way to bring in some more cash, she’ll be closing the doors of A Likely Story for good.

Story
Is it truly better to have loved and lost? Bethany Cahill says nope. Eleven years ago, her fellow cheerleader Reid Thatcher held her heart in her hand...and crushed it like a bug. Since then, Bethany avoids risk, reward, and anything romantic on TV. Just, no. When a new patient walks into her office, she’s catapulted into the past and staring into Reid’s eyes, who is still annoyingly stunning. Forgiveness doesn’t come easy, and Bethany isn’t about to let Reid in. Not after all she took.

i never thought love scenes could get tedious
Melissa Braydan is one of my favorite lesbian authors. Her work is usually crisp, witty and well paced. i found this sappy, simpy and cliche. the characters we just not as well defined. The narrative spent so much time in the bedroom or with eyeroll worthy declarations of love and admiration that it got boring. There was cliche plot device drama, but at that point i wasn't even invested enough about the characters to care. i skipped through the last few chapters looking for some resolution to the drama and was sadly disappointed. it was just more sappy drivel at that point. i love long books. but this was just so much filler that it was not worth it.
im sorry, but i want more from a story than 2 women mooning over each other and getting busy, plot please 🙏.

good but not great
This is not Melissa's best book. It is a good read but it wasn't great. I put it down multiple times. Typically when I read a Brayden book I can't put it down and would have listened to it multiple times by now. This book has forgettable characters and it feels like it wasn't fully developed. No real tear jerking moments. It just had too many holes.

Unconventional and Great!!!
One of the MCs isn’t what you would normally expect from a Ms Brayden book. It’s a bold choice that works really really well! I throughly enjoyed the book and all of the unique cast of characters. Give this book a listen, Lulu Larkin does a fantastic job, and don’t let the negative comments influence you,

Another excellent read
I love all of Melissa Brayden’s books and yes I’ve listened to them all. This one is indefensible in that it has an MC from marginalized society and it’s about starting over. It’s refreshing, cute and while it deals with jail, doesn’t have too heavy a theme. As usual the characters are rich and the story very sweet, Also, again Luna Larkin is a great narrator. Highly recommended.

Another great Brayden book
I really liked the pairing, Juliette was especially endearing. Brayden masterly builds everything around very well, with great supporting characters, but I do think some of the story parts got a bit much "space", but overall a very enjoyable book.
Lulu Larkin's narration is great, she's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Half-Baked - Doesn’t Match Up to Other MB Books
While I’ve been a fan of MB, this one disappointed on so many levels. The story was weak, characters not developed and the only chemistry seems to be, “Hey, you’re queer. I’m queer. I don’t want to be a 3rd wheel. You want to settle down. Let’s fall in love.”
I miss the exposition we saw in so many of MB’s previous books. This story had so many gaps that it seemed what was left over didn’t really come together to draw me into the story. It also felt like she was leaving “Easter Eggs” for people she knows IRL - like there’s an inside joke the reader isn’t privy to. She had these weirdly obtuse details throughout the story, and they didn’t relate, foreshadow or contribute to the story.
IMO - MB has massive writing chops, but she needs editors and beta readers who will give her honest feedback. This one feels like she wasn’t challenged to close those holes.
All in all, I will always chance a credit with a MB book because I know what she’s capable of producing. I’m just a little struck this was released before it was fully baked.

TOO LOOONG
I love Melissa Brayden, but this book just did not do it for me. Too long, too boring and it took me several days to finish listening to it. I also didn’t care for the narration of it either and again, I usually like when Lula Larkin narrates. Overall, the story was a slow burn and I lost interest very quickly. I did finish listening to it, but felt forced to since I paid for it!!
