About this listen
Max thought he had a purpose…
But one IED and half a leg later, Maxwell Watson is trying to make a new plan. He hasn’t been back to Three Lakes since high school, but with his military career cut short he has nowhere else to go. He’s trying to find something to bring his passion back, but he never expected that to be a person, and certainly not a friend he hasn’t seen in more than a decade.
Carson’s mostly happy in Three Lakes…
The brewery keeps him busy, his home keeps him comfortable, and his friends keep him entertained. What more could Carson Wiley ask for? He’s met all the eligible men in Three Lakes and none of them do it for him, so love is off the table, but he doesn’t need a relationship, even if he feels the occasional pang of longing. When an old friend he once rejected comes to town he’s stunned by the bolt of attraction.
Max isn’t supposed to be looking for love. He remembers Carson’s rejection and he doesn’t want to risk his heart again. But as Carson helps him settle into civilian life, Max can’t help but feel like there’s more between them. Is he ready to put his feelings and a newfound friendship on the line for the chance at the love of a lifetime?

Story
Nate Semkins’ career is about to skyrocket. All he needs to do is help developers turn one tiny hamlet into a tourist hotspot. When his car breaks down in Three Lakes, it threatens to derail the entire deal. He’s trying to sell Three Lakes, not stay. But the local mechanic might be a nice distraction. His busy career means he only has time for the occasional hookup, not a relationship, but one small-town guy might be able to make him change his ways - if only he is brave enough to face some home truths.

An unassuming town. A huge development deal. Nate has it all figured out, until his car breaks down and threatens to ruin everything. The local mechanic has a way with his hands that fantasies are made of, but Nate can’t afford to get wrapped around Ian’s finger. A few sweaty nights tangled up together should be enough to scratch the itch, and the chemistry between them is hot enough to burn.

Story
Payne. In search of: Room to rent. Must ignore the patheticness of a 40-year-old roommate. Preferably dirt cheap as funds are tight (nonexistent). There’s nothing sadder than moving back to my hometown newly divorced, homeless, and lost for what my next move is. When my little brother’s best friend offers me a place to stay in exchange for menial duties, I swallow my pride and jump at the offer. I need this. I also need Beau to wear a shirt. And ditch the gray sweatpants. And not leave his door ajar when he’s in compromising positions...

Military life is all I’ve known since I was born. But when a top-secret mission fails, I find myself suddenly discharged with nowhere to go. Mike Bravo saved my life, and they want me to join them, but there’s one small problem. Isaac “Iris” Griffin. He’s as irresistibly snarky as he always was, only there’s a big difference this time. I’m no longer closeted or scared to live my truth. And the truth is, I’ve always wanted him. It’s against Mike Bravo’s rules to fraternize with other team members. But something tells me Iris might be worth the insubordination.

When Casey Stevens went away to college four years ago, he ghosted on his straight best friend, Joel Vreeland. He hoped time and distance would lessen the unrequited affection he felt, but he only missed Joel more. Home for the holidays, Casey hopes they might find a way to be friends again. But Joel’s frosty reception reminds Casey of just how hard he had to fight to be Joel’s friend in the first place. It’s going to take a Christmas miracle to get past his cool façade again. Joel isn’t as straight as Casey believes, and years of pining for Casey have left him hurting.

Alex Ellison is well-educated, rich, and good-looking. Too bad the ingredients of success haven’t mixed too well for him, and instead of having the world at his feet, Alex has, once again, landed himself in a hot mess of trouble. The community service his father arranges for him in a wildlife center on the other side of the country in Oregon comes as a bit of a nasty surprise, though. What Alex never expects is to meet Noah Price. He never expects to be noticed and understood. He never expects to feel valued and special. He never expects to fall in love.

I’ve been living under storm clouds since my honorable discharge, but Julian’s the sun. I’ve tried everything to deal with my PTSD, but nothing seemed to help. So when my brother suggests a service dog, I figure I don’t have anything to lose. The last thing I expect is for the dog to come with a cheerful, quirky trainer I can’t get out of my head. I’m too screwed up for love, but a chance to explore a side of myself I didn’t realize existed until recently is too good to pass up.

Welcome to Hollydale, a magical town where things aren’t always as they appear. The Hollydale Omegas is a sweet, feel-good series about finding love in a small town, with a little supernatural help. This is a non-shifter, contemporary mpreg series. Settle in with a snack before you dive into this mix of fun, friendship, and family. From elves and ghosts to cupids and leprechauns, this series will steal your heart. This bundle contains the first five books from this best-selling series. Also included is what I consider “book five and a half” - Strawberry Spiced Omega.

Story comment: good pace, lots going on and great characters to keep me entertained, add in a good love story for returning Military guys and i'm a happy camper.
Narrator comment: Richard Reynolds narration improves with each book he does. The characters personalities come through enough that its easy to distinguish characters and the emotions and intonations all work to bring them to life.

emotions all over the place
This is so much, and I loved every bit of it! So much emotional baggage on top of other baggage makes it loaded with obstacles, but the underlying love floats through all the layers! Heartwarming and captivating. The narrator was fantastic. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this story and am giving an honest review.

Loved it.
This is the third book in A Small Town Romance (Love in Three Lakes) with developed characters. This story is about Max and Carson. Carson and Max were friends and Carson rejected Max, so Max left went into the military. Now Max is back in Three lakes after being discharged from the military after an IED takes a part of his leg. Max is struggling to make sure he remains in control of his new life and trying to find his footing in his new life. Carson is now busy with the brewery and has had the time for self-discovery. Carson and Max grow closer than ever now that he back in town and the two have had time to do some growing up. The journey of discovery, trust, and love is beautiful in this second chance romance. I cannot wait for the next book in this series. The narration was very well done.

Sweet romance
Another great book in the series. It’s great seeing Carson finally get his man and Max was his perfect match. This story had so much going on-friends to lovers, ex bffs, and a Military man. Oh, Let’s not forget dogs. I love dogs and I love men who love dogs. Max and his story broke my heart but the story never got sappy. It maintained a realistic tone the entire time. Strong writing. The narrator is decent, kindve slow or monotonous at times but overall not bad.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls;
the most massive characters are seared with scars. ~Khalil Gibran~
Perfect second chance romance. Max and Carson were friends when they were younger and Carson broke Max's heart. Max then left to join the army and now as adults they have had a chance to reconnect. It wasn't an easy battle but Carson eventually broke through Max's barriers and won him over again. I really loved the way the plot unfolds and allows you to see the insecurities, scars, and strength that both of these characters have. It is a really beautiful, heart melting story!! I was provided a copy and voluntarily chose to leave a review. This is my honest review.

Making Peace
I'm still enjoying the series as a whole, but this particular story was average. I liked the characters, especially an injured vet hero, but I think Carson was too plain. I would have enjoyed more tension between them instead of one or the other just walking away.
Richard Reynolds does a great job in all of the books in the series.
I received an audio copy of this story in exchange for an unbiased review.
