About this listen
“Let me experience all of you tonight, Penelope…since this is all that we get.”
That was the agreement between me and Maddox Taylor, the NFL’s most notorious playboy and mega-talented quarterback who happened to be out in California for one night—one night in which I broke all of my rules and gave in to the undeniable attraction I felt for the man.
He wooed me with dirty jokes, 80s musical references, an obsession with Steve Harvey, and a very specific piercing. How the hell was I supposed to fight that?
However, I should have listened to my gut because my reaction to him wasn’t just physical—it was more, something I hadn’t felt since the last man I let in left me all alone, and I vowed never to fall in love again.
Six weeks later, I find out I’m the new PR spokesperson for The Los Angeles Bolts football team, a team that just signed Maddox Taylor to their roster in hopes of a winning season.
With his signature cocky swagger, he corners me in my office, intent on rekindling our connection, but the tables had turned—I was now working for his team which created a conflict of interest, and put my job and both of our reputations on the line.
But that stubborn man wasn’t taking no for an answer, and before I knew it, I agreed to date him in secret even though relationships weren’t my thing.
And when Maddox had finally had enough of me refusing to open up, I was faced with a choice—do I let go of the one man that I’ve ever contemplated letting in despite the rules I’ve lived under for the past twelve years?
Or was now the time to face my demons so I could hold onto a future I didn’t know I wanted…
TW: loss of a loved one, themes of grief

But sadly, his scheme to impress his boss left me with something to gain from it too—getting my meddling mother, who was obsessed with my love life, off my back just in time for my parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary celebration in Hawaii.

The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible. The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water. And never, ever get involved with a caller.

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Story
Marrying Beckett Coleman is the best idea I've had in years. I can grant my sick dad’s wish to walk one of his daughters down the aisle, and Beckett has my help solving a custody situation with his daughter. Our plan is to spend a year together, then part ways. Easy, especially since I'm not his type, and he's not mine either. He’s too quiet and too serious. And while he’s distractingly gorgeous, he’s also my brother’s teammate. Beckett is fake husband material, not the real deal. I just have to remember that.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

When Blair Beaufort literally crashes into Bellamy Creek wearing a ball gown and a tiara, I should have towed her car, said goodnight, and sent her packing. I’m a mechanic, not a hotel manager. I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship. I don’t have time for a former debutante with zero street smarts and a cash flow problem, even if she is crazy beautiful. But I know better than to think it can last. She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

I’ve recently become the pawn of a meddling mom. Yes...a meddling mom - who's been trying to set me up all summer. Now, I understand it’s not a crime for a mother to want her child to fall in love, but when she makes it her relentless mission, the heinous act should be classified as a misdemeanor at least. Of course, my mom, the evil matriarch in the devil’s leggings, made her final stab at finding a girl for me days before I went back to college.

Fabulously Delightful! Amazing Story & Narration🎧
“The Ladies Who Brunch” series is an absolute delight, friends who meet once a week to catch up, and each book features one of them, and is just as amazing at the other. This third book is Penelope’s story, and I was looking forward to it because she intrigued me right from the start. Penelope has it all, the looks, the wit and a successful carrier in public relations. She also has secrets and a past that haunts her and reason she does not do boyfriends or relationships. She has rules about athletes, never get involved with one, romantically or work with them, but breaks that rule after meeting Maddox Taylor, an NFL quarterback, at a work event and has a steamy and memorable one-night-stand. Never planning on seeing him again since he plays for a team in New Orleans. But fate had other plans when her boss convinces her to work with the L.A. Bolts, a professional football team, the team Maddox was traded to. I adored Maddox, with his swoon worthy demeanor, his jokes and kind soul, what is not to like. Penelope has a good excuse to not get involved with Maddox, her job, but that does not discourage Maddox, and he is determined to not give up on her. I enjoyed watching these two dance around each other, the chemistry between them was undeniable and they could only deny themselves for so long. Maddox knows she is hiding a part of herself and they can never move forward until she can let go of her past, a past that haunts her and she will have to face. I loved all the layers to this story and the complexity of the characters, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. The story gives you all the feels, and has a perfect balance of drama, witty dialogue, charming humor, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. Best of all, it puts a smile on your face. Harlow James, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon are the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and do so with a complete understanding of who they are portraying, giving each a voice that is fitting. I loved how they took their roles and ran with them, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Loved it!
This story follows up with Penelope who’s in the PR work field in the group of friends who have brunch. Penelope is a strong and successful woman who loves her independence and is not looking for a partner. Not even when she meets Maddox. She has one rule and she’s not about to break it. Maddox is a NFL’s mega-talented quarterback who’s about to meet the women who’s not afraid to put him in his place. This story was a little emotional which had me crying a little, but so worth the read. I loved this story a lot, which I definitely recommend. Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan did a fabulous job narrating this audiobook together. The voices fit perfectly with the characters.

Maddox & Penelope are *Chef's Kiss*
Dear Penelope & Maddox,
You’re hot, you’re funny, you’re kind & caring, & dang it if y’all aren’t my newest favorite Harlow James couple! I’ll likely be adding you to my “slump buster” list of re-reads because your story was so unique and swoony.
You gave us a fantastic forbidden sports romance built on the foundation of a one-night stand, dirty jokes, sarcasm, concrete walls & sunsets.
You also gave us a couple to fight for, past trauma to overcome, & a reason to let people in to help you heal. Your shared experiences make you stronger as a couple & one worth rooting for.
Being a part of the Ladies Who Brunch friend group is ultimate goals & you two sure brought the fire. I’m so glad today is the day for everyone else to meet you!

Great on the spice level as well as great with the banter between the two main characters. Out hero was definitely deserving in this book. Great book 5 🌟 for me guys!

Get out your big girl toys!!
Now's the Time is book #3 in The Ladies Who Brunch series. Penelope is the hard-hitting PR magician for all her high profile clients, all but athletes. When her ONS (that she ran out on) becomes her client, Penelope and Maddox can't resist their chemistry and attraction. Maddox and Penelope both have tragic pasts and have built up walls around their hearts. This story is heartwarming, hilarious with the banter, and steamy, steamy, steamy! The things Penelope has the team do is "snort" worthy. Ms. James gave us the perfect man with the stamina for Penelope. Loved, loved, loved this one.
The narration was everything. Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan...come on. Even if you are new to audiobook, you know these two can deliver. They could make C-Span sexy! Loved their performance, 5 sultry stars!

So good
She doesn't want a relationship she not thattype of girl. She's happy with her friends and job. she meets Maddox who is an NFL quarterback. They have a one night stand then She gets a job working at a PR rep. for Maddox's football team. they have this amazing chemistry and they start a secret relationship. Maddox proves that not everything is always as it seems. He doesn't care what the press says about him because he has his reasonings for always going out & being photographed with women, something he keeps close to him.But Maddox isn't the only one with secrets and a troubled past. Penelope has kept people at arms length for a reason for the last 12 years and it will break your heart for her. Which Maddox won't give up on her because he know she is worth it.

💛 He falls first
Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️.5
Narration: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This series may be set in LA, but as an Ohio girlie, Harlow James had me locked in from the prologue. She almost lost me at the 80’s ballads 🤣 but reeled me in with all of the dîrty jokes that Maddox tells! Gah, they’re so funny! The last third of the book had me crying and smiling so hard my cheeks hurt! This is my favorite book of this series so far! Can “Not as Planned” top it? If so, HOW??
Just when I think I’ve found all the book boyfriends I can handle…Harlow James has to go and write a new man for me. I’m solidly in love with Maddox Taylor. I have a pretty big ‘girl crush’ on Penelope too. We could totally thruple though, right?? Penelope is a certified badaşş and I am so here for her! I’ve loved her character since book one in this series. I think it had something to do with her order of 300, um, things. 😅
Not going to lie, there were some tough feelings to get through in this story. Loss is not something to take lightly. These characters had to work through guilt and grief in their own ways, at their own times. This series has a way of taking real life experiences, wrap them in a romcom, but still pull at every heartstring I possess.
Maddox was the sort of sweet, sexy, all around good guy you may look for in an MMC. I love that he was tenacious in his pursuit. It made the results so much more satisfying. Penelope is strong, smart, and independent; but likes to be told what to do when it counts…if you know what I mean 😏 and boy, does someone 🤭 know how to take. Effing. Charge! In the absolute hottest way! 🥵🥵🥵
My gosh Jacob Morgan is so ridiculously talented. I loved his portrayal of Maddox, and really, every single other character he voices. He is one of my absolute favorite narrators out there. I laugh, swoon, gasp, tear up, melt, and just enjoy the heck out of his skills.
Erin Freaking Mallon! Could you BE any better at your job!? (Yes, that was in the voice of Joey Tribbiani) My gosh, I just love listening to her narrate. She nailed it as Penelope but Holy Toledo, did she do a GREAT Maddox 🫠🫠 I’ve listened to her in the past and I cannot wait to listen to her in the future. She is so. Freaking. BRILLIANT.
I was sent a free book and am voluntarily leaving this honest review. Thank you HCB for letting me ALC this amazing audiobook!
🏈 “Dämn. Bossy, beautiful, and brainy. Triple b’s. You’re a catch, Penelope.”
🏈 “Patience, Penelope. I’ll give you what you want, babe—what we both want.”
🏈 “I know what you need. But you’re not getting my c*** until I say you can, understood?”
🏈 “Because deep down, you know this is what you want and need. It’s what we both need.”
🏈 “I f***ing love it when you beg.”

Be still my heart
Maddox is a swoonworthy Hero who is everything you want in a book boyfriend.
After a one night with Maddox, Penelope never expected to see him again. But 3 months later they find themselves working together. He’s the new quarterback for the football team, and she’s their new PR consultant. Both haven’t stopped thinking about the other since that first night and now they need to work together.
Penelope is a stubborn tough nut to crack and Maddox has his work cut out for him. She’s resisting because of a hurtful past that she hasn’t revealed to anyone. Maddox’s patience with her was so heartwarming and had me rooting for him to break through her walls. Experiencing Penelope learning to love again is so beautifully written by the author that my heart ached for her. Without giving any spoilers away, I can see how the tragedy in her high school years would have led her to not want to love again.
Maddix’s character is one of my favorite types of Male MC’s. You think he’s one thing in the beginning, in this case a player, yet as the story unfolds you find he’s not that at all but has so many lovely facets to him. Hi caring nature and patience with Penelope’s resistance to their relationship was perfection.
Erin Mallon does an amazing job. She really portrays Penelope so convincingly with her stubbornness and yet that deep fear she has of loving someone comes through in her performance. I’m always impressed by the range that Jacob Morgan has for all his voices. It’s truly a gift. Deep growly males to the lighthearted male sidekick to kids and his female voices for the main character is so spot on. His performance here is stellar.
