About this listen
Hudson Higgins had fond memories of Boggy Creek from his childhood. So what better place to escape New York City for a few weeks to finish up a book that was nearing deadline than the small town in New Hampshire his parents visited nearly every summer.
What he couldn’t have known was how his life would be turned upside down when he walked into Greer Larson’s bookstore his first day in town.
Greer Larson lived a quiet life in her hometown of Boggy Creek. She had worked nearly her whole adult life to make her dreams of owning her bookstore come true - and now, Turning Pages was her everything. She lived, eat, and breathed the success of owning her own business.
That is, until a stranger came to town and showed Greer that there was more to life than simply working. A friendship between Greer and Hudson quickly formed over their love of books and the outdoors.
When Greer’s bookstore is threatened, Hudson soon realizes he hasn’t simply fallen for the charm of Boggy Creek and Greer, he’d fallen in love...with both the town and the woman who stole his heart from the moment she first smiled at him.
Playing with Words is book two in the Boggy Creek Valley series and is a stand-alone novel.

Story
At 26 years old I never dreamed I’d walk in on my husband in bed with my best friend. At 27 years old I found myself divorced and the mother of a one-year-old son. Never mind I was learning to take the reins of my family’s apple orchard business. There was no way my life could be any more complicated...or so I thought. Can a woman who’s lost all trust in men help a man who can’t even trust himself?

Love at first sight. That’s what it was when Rip Myers came up to me in kindergarten. From that point on, we were inseparable best friends. When I work up the courage to tell Rip I love him, I am met with rejection. He tells me he treasures our friendship too much. That statement might as well be a knife to my heart. I want to hold out hope that he’ll change his mind. Instead, he moves on. The only choice I have is to pretend that doesn’t slay me.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies.

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

Heartfelt, Sweet and Steamy Romance!
I loved this sweet and swoony romance! Greer and Hudson's story takes place in a small town filled with quirky characters who are in everyone's business but are ultimately loving and supportive. Greer has always loved books, and has worked hard to make her book store a success. When sexy author, Hudson comes to town and enters her store, Greer is hilariously tongue tied. Hudson things it's endearing and they are both instantly attracted to each other. Hudson is in town to try and get over his writers block. He is inspired by the community, and Greer, and wants to find ways to spend time with her when he isn't writing. They are so cute together, having the same interests, and their chemistry is explosive. Their story is fun and sweet and has just enough twists with a little drama that makes this a heartwarming and addictive listen. I also really loved all the supportive and quirky family and friends who made this story even more entertaining and authentic.
Laurie West, and Christian Black did a great job narrating this delightful story and bringing it to life. I loved their humor, and their easy ability to make this awkward and emotional story feel real and authentic. They helped make this heartfelt, sweet & steamy romance even more entertaining!

Kelly Elliot Does Not Disappoint 5*****
I loved this book! Kelly Elliot writes such charming stories with fun characters and with Playing With Words she's done it again another amazing story that I just can't get enough of. I'm totally hooked I can't wait for book 3 in this series. I highly recommend this I dare you to not fall in love with Greer Turning Pages book store owner and suspense writer Hudson as they meet and get to know each other and all all their family and friends . This is heartwarming and a HEA that can be read as a standalone or as a series. Shout out to the narrator's this was nicely. preformed. As a after thought I loved how the characters played pick up sticks lol just awesome!

I throughly enjoyed this! Its filled with laughs and love!
Simply adorable! Its so easy to fall in love with the characters. The author does a good job of making me want to live in Boggy Creek! Meeting all the townsfolk and following the story of Greer and Hudson was a dream. They both are ideal characters for a book lover. She owns a bookstore and he is a best selling author. They are meant to be together….Right? If thats not enough to entice you the secondary characters are full of antics that made me laugh. Family dinners with games? I have never played games like this family but I could laugh at their style.
I did listen to this on audio. Laurie West and Christian Black are both new to me. They did a great job! I would listen to this and them over again

Perfect Match
An author and a book store owner. Match made in heaven! So much sweetness in this story, but don’t let it fool you. There’s also plenty of steam. Low angst made this a great listen. I didn’t fall in love with the male narrator, but it didn’t take away from the story. Great family dynamics that you couldn’t help fall in love with.
