About this listen

Waking up hungover in the sheep pen is the least of my problems.

The worst? A foreclosure notice for my family farm.

Scratch that. The actual worst is the woman delivering the news: my ex, who broke my heart and left me behind for the big city.

I’ve spent a decade trying to forget Lia Thorne, and now she’s the only one who can help my family dig ourselves out from our crushing debt and even stronger egos.

I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. And if I go along with Lia’s new-fangled scheme, maybe I can win back more than my finances …

Just as long as my meddling grandma and her spoiled sheep don’t interfere.

Since You’ve Bean Gone kicks off the Farm 2 Forking crop of laugh out loud romantic comedies set on Bedd Fellows Farm.

Dig into this swoony, unputdownable second-chance romance by USA Today bestselling author Lainey Davis and buckle up for an un-baa-lievable ride.

Cute second chance romance. This was the first book that has really brought light to a disease in a story. Normally they are just mentioned and then forgotten about. I had so much sympathy for Lia. But enjoyed the story and narration. The sheep and her name has me saying it the same way in the audio. 🤣 I will definitely listen to more from this author and series.

Since You've Bean Gone is an utter delight, and exactly what you expect from a Lainey Davis romcom. It's witty, it's fun, but it also addresses real life issues with heart and compassion.

Since You've Bean Gone is is the first book in the multi-author Farm 2 Forking series about the Bedd family, an upstate NY farming family trying to save the family farm. It's also a heartfelt second chance romance as Ethan Bedd has to work with Lia, his lost love, to save the farm. Ethan and Lia were high school sweethearts, and Ethan thought Lia was his future, until she left him behind. She had her reasons, and those reasons still exist, but Ethan makes sure the adult Lia knows that they're not insurmountable.

The audio, narrated by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge, is top-notch. Erin and Alastair make sure we experience every giggle, every sigh, every moment of heartbreak and moment of glee.

This is a stand-alone romance, but how the Bedd family saves the farm is interwoven through the 5 book series. It's well-worth the read/listen!

Fun start to a new series with great authors

Oh my goodness, ewe have got to read Since You’ve Bean Gone by Lainey Davis! This heartfelt, cheeky, pun-filled romcom was such a fun start to the Farm 2 Forking series! Lia Thorne ghosted her high school boyfriend, Ethan Bedd when she left for college without a word. Now she’s back to help him save the family farm. Can she mend fences and melt his hardened heart too? I love the Bedd family and Baabara was hilarious! Once they lay their cards on the table, Lia and Ethan are an unstoppable team. The way he jumps into his second chance to care for her and she breaks down his grump barricade melted my heart like butter!

Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge were fabewelous in the dual narration of the Since You’ve Bean Gone audiobook! It was wonderful to revisit Bedd Farm with Erin and Alastair bringing Fork Lick’s quirky characters to life. Erin’s portrayal of Lia was endearing. Alastair brought the grumpy farmer Ethan Bedd off the page perfectly. These two were utterly delightful and I cannot wait to continue with the series!

A Punny & Sweet Second Chance!

Ethan and Lia

A new series based on the Bedd siblings and written by different authors and each author gets a sibling. After the death of their grandfather the Bedd family learn the farm is facing foreclosure due to the huge debt they owe and there is some hostility between Ethan the oldest and his brothers.
Ethan and Lia were high school sweethearts that had plans for a future until she just left. Now back sent by her company to help this family save the farm. A cute, sweet second chance romance. The story was ok. Love the characters and a crazy sheep Baabara who is always escaping and getting into shenanigans lol.


I enjoyed listening to the narrators tell the story to me they made it more interesting this second chance romance.

Great!

This series was so much fun to listen to as I found myself laughing out loud on numerous occasions.
We start off with quite a doozy in this second chance romance for Ethan & Lia.
Ethan & Lia were high school sweethearts with great plans to run his family farm. Until out of the blue, he found himself all alone with her leaving town. Fast forward several years later, and Ethan finds himself along with the rest of the Bedd siblings & the family farm, Bedd Fellows Farm in financial trouble after his grandfather‘s death.
In an effort to prove her worth at her company in the big city, Lia finds herself back in her small home town of Fork Lick. But what she wasn’t counting on was coming face-to-face with her first true love and discovering all over again, what made her fall in love with him in the first place.
I loved watching Lia tam the ever grumpy Ethan, after years of being apart. I loved seeing their friendship grow as their love slowly blossoms again. I also loved how Lia wasn’t perfect, with her medical issues, yet Ethan showed her that she was perfect in his eyes. Seeing Ethan grow & learn a whole new aspect of the farm just shows what you can achieve when the right person comes along.
I can’t end a review without mentioning the hilarity of grandma with her beloved, spoiled, and pampered sheep, Baaaarbra Streisand.

Audiobook Review:
Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge brought this entire town to life. Erin always delivers a stellar performance & Alistair was right there with her matching her energy & bringing emotion to the characters.

Hilarious & sweet

I think this i my first Lany Davis book! I really enjoyed this book so much! The character's were relatable real people with real problems. I loved Lia and Ethan so much! This was a second chance romance for them! He was so supportive of her condition and didn't even think it was weird as she would make it seem it was. Ethan was perfect to take care of her! He was always looking out for her even before she "left for college"! She came back to help him save his farm that his grandfather put in debt!

I listened to the ALC of this performed by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge! They were amazing! I was cracking up everytime they said Barrrbra's name. lol They really made this book an amazing listen!

Since You've Bean Gone is book #1 in the Farm 2 Forking series. Lainey Davis always brings us stories about folks with real lives and struggles that we can relate with but still have that romantic fantasy of an HEA. Ethan is struggling to save his family farm that has landed in a huge amount of mortgage debt and about to be foreclosed on. The lender sends none other than his enemy Lia Thorne, Ethan's ex-girlfriend from high school, to help get the farm back on its feet. There are a lot of unanswered questions from their past, secrets that have yet to be revealed, oh...and a possible fiancé that are mudding the waters. But the chemistry between these two is still sparking. This is a funny, heartwarming, totally steamy second chance/small-town romance that will keep you listening from beginning to end. Forking good fun and an excellent start to this fantastic series!

The duet narration was spectacular. Alastair Haynesbridge is one narrator that I could listen to all day long and never be disappointed. He definitely gave us the grumpy Ethan we were expecting. Erin Mallon has been a mainstay in my audio library with her versatility in bringing the funny and sexy sides of her characters. These two were just a dynamic duo. 5 forking stars!!

Forking great start to this series!

What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Updating for audiobook: Erin Mallon & Alastair Haynesbridge have scrumptious voices, enhance all the feels, and make this story even more sweet, loving, and enjoyable. I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series in their narration.
🤩 This whole amazing collaboration between authors to make the Farm 2 Forking series—Bedd Fellows Farm and Fork Lick, New York. The next books will be written by Liz Alden, Karen Grey, Erin Mallon, and Ember Leigh.
🤩 The book reminded me why I prefer first person dual POV. I love knowing both characters deeply, feeling the inner turmoil, deep thoughts, and growth.
🤩 An emotional support sheep named Baabara Streisand. And, some super fun town names.
🤩 Angsty second chance romance—oh my heart.
🤩 The captivating plot is the reason Lia Thorne is back in town. And that need to know how and why she left town in the first place.
🤩 Secret pining, forced proximity, and naughty thoughts.
🤩 Amazing Crohn’s Disease representation—so much heart while keeping the romcom humor (the dung diary).
🤩 Farm life is interesting and funny.
🤩 Cabin life—Ethan Bedd is total book boyfriend material—caring, loving, supportive, and so stinkin’ hot.
🤩 Sibling fun and forgiveness.
🤩 Gran—she’s amazing and funny and so, so sweet.

What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 A little love triangle situation. I like it this way, where the one character (non-MMC) is not a very good person. But I wish the love triangle could have been gone a bit sooner.
💫 The slow burn was beautiful, but I did wish for a little more time with them as a true couple. Update: The bonus scene helped me feel more like I got enough of them together as a couple.
💫 Molly and Alex—I’m so looking forward to their story and the rest of the series.

Lainey Davis kicks off her Farm 2 Forking series with a charming audiobook that perfectly balances humor and heart. Narrated by the talented duo of Alastair Haynesbridge and Erin Mallon, this romantic comedy set on Bedd Fellows Farm delivers both laughs and emotional depth.

The plot centers on a second chance romance that's both emotional, heartfelt, and genuinely humorous. What sets this audiobook apart is Davis's knack for creating authentic characters facing real-world challenges. The story is liberally sprinkled with puns and outlandish predicaments, yet never loses sight of its emotional core.

Set in upstate New York's Bedd Fellows Farm, the narrative unfolds with warmth and wit. The rural setting serves as more than just a backdrop, becoming an integral part of the story's charm. The audiobook excels at creating a cozy atmosphere while tackling meaningful themes about love, second chances, and personal growth.

While some listeners might find the abundance of farming puns a bit much, they generally add to the story's charm rather than detract from it. The pacing is well-maintained throughout, and the dual narration helps keep the listener engaged from start to finish.

For fans of romantic comedy audiobooks, "Since You've Bean Gone" offers a swoony, unputdownable experience that sets a promising tone for the rest of the Farm 2 Forking series. It's a delightful blend of humor, heart, and small-town charm that will leave listeners eager for the next installment.
