About this listen
Lola Landry stares through the window of her locked car with the keys in the ignition and the radio blaring Beck’s “Loser”. While standing there and sweltering in the soupy Tennessee humidity, she wonders how her orderly life had crashed and burned so badly. Then her high school nemesis saunters up in all of his tall, strapping fireman-to-the-rescue glory, slapping her with the humiliating proof that it can always get worse.
When the uber-confident Jedediah Lawson requests a date in return for popping her lock, a lightbulb goes off. Revenge is sweet. He would make the perfect victim—guest, that is—for her next podcast episode on Kiss and Tell. What shocks her is the casual way he not only agrees to the post-date interview on air, but ends up hijacking her audience and wooing them with his swoony Southern charm. Not even a low score on the date-o-meter can dissuade the man or keep her fans from demanding more of the charismatic Jed.
What’s worse: She secretly wants a second date with this man who is so different from his teenage self. His unwavering patience and dimpled smile erodes her will, until she breaks the Kiss and Tell rules by agreeing to a second…and a third date. It’s a disaster. Not the date. They’re wonderful. The disaster is that she is falling for a man she once dubbed Jockstrap Jed.
Parks and Provocation is a full-length contemporary romance and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. Book two in the Green Valley Heroes series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Story
I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

He can’t get a read on her, but she’s one risk he’s willing to take. Again.

Former beauty queen Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous—local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

Story
Forty-five, recently divorced and a certified hot mess. The last thing Fiona needs to start her vacation is a flooded hotel room and a broken-down car. Alas, that’s what she gets. She’s ready to pack it all in and go home - wherever that is - when her knight in a wet T-shirt strides in to save the day. Jaw-dropping, panty-melting Grant Greene takes the 'mess' out of 'certified hot mess' when he walks up to Fiona and offers her a room to stay. No strings attached. Great, right?

I think for sure it must've been a dream because there's no way a guy could look like that, touch me like that, and be so in tune with me on every known level and disappear, leaving me with nothing but a good story to tell my friends. When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we'd had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancee's hand.

Story
The summer I graduated from high school, I raced out of my small Virginian town to seek my culinary dreams in the big city. I couldn't afford New York City, though, so I settled in Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love wasn't The Big Apple, but it had its charms and pockets of culinary splendor. I hadn't minded because it was only temporary. After culinary school, I planned to do as I'd been dying to do since I was a little girl and roam the earth and splurge on its fruits. More than five years later, I was still in Philly.

For the first time in my life, I'm living for myself - not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

Together, we create an explosion of fiery passion, devotion, and chemistry I never knew was possible. All of my dreams are within reach, but I should have known it was too good to be true.

A Second-Chance Small-Town Romance
Parks and Provocation is a sweet & steamy small-town romance. This story of unrequited love is utterly charming, funny, and sizzling hot! Jed is the hometown hero devoted to his family, friends, and making Green Valley a safer place to live. Lola is a stand-offish, sweet, snarky, brilliant heroine who is rebuilding her usually well-planned life after upheaval. If you’re in the mood for a kindhearted, seductive, dirty-mouthed firefighter and a charismatic, quick-witted, dazzling heroine, then grab Parks and Provocation now!
Chris Brinkley has become the iconic voice of the Green Valley men. His smooth southern accent and honeyed timbre draw you in for a delicious aural experience. Lila Winters is fantastic in her narration of Lola. I love the energy Lila brings to the booth. She brings the plucky, snarky, sweet Lola to life with a passionate, beguiling performance. Chris and Lila are a fab duo!

Oh my gosh, this book!
I snickered, swooned, sniffled, and sweated (love the spice). I am in LOVE with this story and Lola & Jed! It’s my favorite GV spin-off, by far.
The narration was wonderful. Whatever happens, never stop talking Chris Brinkley. *fanning myself*

Story and Narration kept me captivated
I very much enjoyed this book. The book was way spicier than I was expecting based on other Green Valley spin-offs, but it worked and I liked it. No fade to black here! The story line was interesting and fast paced, and it had just enough drama to stay intriguing without so much drama that it wasn’t a laidback read. Did I mention it was spicy?? 🥵🫠🙃 Great narration - definitely one I’ll read again.

Fun and Flirty!
Like others have said, one of the best of Green Valley! I shouldn’t have been surprised. Juliette Cross is so good with story lines and relatable characters. (Totally recommend her Stay a Spell Series!) As for narration- I always enjoy Lila Winters, but Chris Brinkley made this one spectacular! I love how you can hear him smile as he narrates, it totally adds to the swoon-factor! These two bring so much personality to the story!

Kind of a slog
The writing is solid and it’s enjoyable overall but it’s lacking the wit and humor I’ve come to expect from Green Valley books. And unfortunately the main character isn’t interesting or likable.
