About this listen

Once upon a time, she slept with his poster beside her bed. Now, he's all grown up, hiding behind a burly beard and lots of flannel... and she doesn't have a clue.

Eight years ago, Adam Driscoll walked away from his stage name—Deke—and the boyband that turned him into an international star before his eighteenth birthday.

And he never looked back.

It didn't even matter that everyone blamed him for the band's breakup. He might miss making music, but he had good reasons for walking. Give him solitude over thousands of screaming fans any day of the week.

These days, the only company he's truly interested in is that of the vet who works closely with his dog rescue—Dr. Laney Lawson. She's brilliant, funny, beautiful, and best of all, she has no idea he used to be a pop star.

Then Adam's bandmates reach out about a one-time reunion concert benefiting a charity that's close to his heart, and he starts to wonder if some things are worth a little extra attention. He loves the idea of singing again, but saying yes would out him to the small mountain community that has become his refuge. Worse, it would out him to Laney.

Old hurts can't stay buried forever, and something tells Adam that, scary or not, saying yes is the decision he needs to make. He just has to hope he doesn't lose the life—or the woman—he loves in the process.

Once Upon a Boyband has all the crackling chemistry and sizzling kisses you want in a low-spice, closed-door romcom. Perfect for fans of romantic comedy with a little less heat.

I love seeing a favorite on audio!

Jenny Proctor is a master of writing low spice closed door romance and this story was pure perfection!

Laney is a vet in a small town who has no idea that the handsome bearded client with new puppies is actually the boyband crush of her childhood. Adam is enjoying living a quiet life out at his dog rescue ranch without any of the fame of his teenage years until his past catches up with him for a charity concert opportunity.

I loved Laney and Adam’s chemistry. I love that right from the beginning they were upfront in their communication and interest in each other. They grew a friendship with laughter and tender moments.

I loved that we spent time with the dog rescue ranch and we got a taste of the music industry. It made for such an entertaining journey!

Adam is still working through the grief of losing his mom. There’s a point towards the end of the story that was so heartfelt and tender, I cried like a baby.

Other fun moments:
Puppies
Fake fiancé
He sings to her
One room
One bed
Appies gear makes an appearance!

I struggled a little bit with the female narrator, her voice was too young for Laney, however I loved the male narrator.

Romance Content: Just kissing!

Loved every minute

“Fair warning. This story isn’t very believable. Most stories start with once upon a time. Mine? It’s more like once upon a boyband.”

Be still my ever loving boyband obsessed heart! From the dedication to the very first line to the very last page, my heart was completely captured by this Jenny Proctor book. What girl hasn’t dreamed about meeting her favorite singer? My journals, daydreams and every thought was filled with my crush as a teen and I can’t even imagine what it would be like to meet someone, fall onto the deep and serious path to love, only to find out he’s the love of my wildest dreams.

Laney is a vet and finds herself connected with Adam through dogs and his dog rescue. These two characters are everything and their journey is so poignant and intense, yet full of longing, hope, fulfillment, and healing. They are extremely well-written and vividly come to life and I could insert myself into Laney’s life quite easily, eagerly devouring every single bit. While light-hearted and sweet, there are some past traumas and regrets to sift through. But their chemistry and kisses? Phew, sizzling, yet sweet.

Not only did I buy myself a copy for my shelves, but I also used an audible credit to listen to these talented narrators. This story is satisfying on multiple levels and I loved the nods to other books/series by this author. You can bet I’ll snatch up the second book the minute I can.

Content: mild+ romance; mild language
