About this listen
As if it's not bad enough that I didn't win the reality design TV show I was on, try coming home to a one word note indicating that my 10-year marriage is over. So here I am, a suddenly single mother in my mid-30s, doing what everyone advises me to do - have a fling. Except it doesn't go as planned, so I do the next best thing, which is sit on the couch and mope. But having to provide for a five-year-old doesn't let me stay home for too long. Before I know it, I'm back to dying my hair wild colors and trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.
Except Tony, the fling that wasn't, keeps popping up in the most unlikely places and won't leave me alone. I'd like to be strong - I'm way too old for him - but he's cute and funny and sexy and oh, my ex is getting married to a girl named Bambi. All I know is the way I'm doing things isn't working. If I want to be happy again, I'm going to need to get a new attitude.

During my 30 years on this planet, I've made a lot of poor decisions pursuing my ideal man. It may have something to do with my slight obsession with romantic comedies, especially those of the British variety. I mean, if Bridget Jones could find her Mr. Darcy, surely I can too, right?

Moving to Hicklam is the last thing Gloria Benedetti wants to do, but it's her final hope at having a normal life. After spending almost a decade as a near recluse and virtually paralyzed by crippling panic attacks, an alternative therapy might be her only shot at regaining her life after trauma. Trauma that forced her to give up everything, including a promising career on the stage. Staying in Hicklam is the last thing Grayson Keene planned on doing, but The Edison Theater has been in his family for generations, and he can't let it sink on his watch.

She put that mess behind her when she left her train-wreck of a twin sister back in Ohio. Now, independent Rio is unprepared for this twist.

With a name like Isabelle Valentine, one would think I was destined to find true love and believe in the ridiculous notion of soul mates. Don’t get me wrong: I’m all about love. I even own an inn with my sister where each room is named after our favorite romantic couples. But soul mates? It seems highly implausible there is that one person, your person, meant only for you. My sister, of course, would tell me I’m dead wrong and that the very inn we own calls to such lovers. So, what if she did find her own unlikely happily ever after here with one of the most famous men alive?

I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of "loving" is lying, cheating, and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago, so I’m definitely getting shortchanged. But now that I’m single, am I ready to mingle?

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits. There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it's windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Wow - much love Kathryn R Biel
This is the first book by Biel that I’ve read and I must say - I’m a fan! The writing is great and there is great depth in the characters. I completely enjoyed the book from start to finish.
Lisa Beacom as the narrator is also right on point with her performance 🎭.
I recommend the both the writer and the narrator!

Very Enjoyable Book
I've yet to hear a story written by Ms. Biel that I haven't liked! And Ms. Beacom is a wonderful narrator. You can't go wrong with these two! This book was a pleasure to listen to and I would like to thank the author, narrator, or publisher for providing me this audiobook at no cost in exchange for my unbiased review.

mom for the win
I didn't read the first book. but from the sounds of things Kira really wasn't present in her marriage to Stan if he had gf for 2 years so...
Kira's mom made the story for me ! Her support, wisdom, and straight talk were massive!! Kira was one hot mess after another for someone her age. Smh! Tony was beyond sweet and put up with a heck of a lot from Kira. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Super amazing story
First of all I would like to say that narrator Lisa Beacom did an amazing job especially as the voice of five year old Fleur ( hope I spelled her name right). I loved the well written storyline of how everything was taken from her by her no good cheating husband but she didn't give up she just pulled her way to the top. I highly recommend this book if you love to read/listen to books about not giving up on your dreams and finding love in all the wrong places. Do not look over this little gem.

Not to my taste
Lisa Beacom does a stellar job narrating Kathryn Biel's second installment in the ‘New Beginnings’ series, This book centers on Kira, who appeared on a designing reality show with Michele, our protagonist in ‘Made for Me’. The voices are great, the pace flows nicely and I was engaged in the story from minute one. And what a fun concept it is.
The story opens, Kira returns home to discover her husband has left her for a younger woman. Feeling very sensitive and overwhelmed she goes against her better judgment and resumes a flirtation with Michele’s cousin, Tony. The relationship does not proceed smoothly at all and the story follows their journey and ultimately their HEA.
Frankly my problems with this book centre on Kira. She pulls considerably more tears and childish tantrums than her five year old daughter, Fleur. She is completely selfish in all her relationships, and impulsive, mean, depressive and reactive. She does not appreciate the assistance and opportunities Michelle gifts her with and treats Tony like a piece of dirt under her feet. There was nothing about her I could like. Tony should have run a mile. She seemed ugly inside and out and her character was confusing - she has brightly coloured hair and was married to someone tattooed like a biker yet she pretends to be straight and mature. She thought she had established something great with her husband yet he had been having an affair with a girl called 'Bambi' for two years and it appears Kira rarely saw him. She repeatedly states her daughter is her whole world yet she appears to have hardly seen her over the past two years and Fleur's incredible and fun grandmother appears to have done most of the caring. I could not get past Kira to like this book and the way she announced her 'news' to Tony was very disturbing but there were many other strengths to enjoy which carried me to the end of this book when I might otherwise have stalled..
