About this listen
In my defense, I thought the plane was going to crash.
Otherwise, I never would have blurted out those embarrassing things to a perfect stranger.
Did I mention he turned out to be a scorching hot superstar of professional hockey?
But wait, there’s more.
When the plane lands safely, I rush off, praying I’ll never have to face him again. My luck holds out for less than twenty-four hours, when I realize he’s a groomsman at the wedding I’m attending.
We end up having a drink and a good laugh about my panicked confessions, and when he invites me up to his room for some no-strings-attached fun, I say yes. After all, a headboard rattling one-night stand with a guy who knows how to put the puck in deep isn’t something a bookworm like me ever thought she’d experience.
Neither are those two little pink lines.
Now what’s crashing are all the plans Joe Lupo and I had for our lives–separately.
After all, we’re totally wrong for each other. He’s commitment-phobic and completely focused on his career. And I want to plant roots in my small town–with someone who chooses me.
Love? It’s out of the question.
Until Joe Lupo lines up his shot and aims straight for my heart.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

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.

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.

Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July. With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest… He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

I’ve always been a wild card–the first to start a fight on the ice, and the life of the party off it–but appearances can be deceiving. Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

I made a deal with my brother a long time ago to never date his teammates. Technically, Rowan Landry, the hot as hell center for the Chicago Falcons, is no longer my brother’s teammate. Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love - I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar. Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s 27, the boss’ daughter, and my new part-time nanny - which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her. What kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

He's back. Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him. But I can't resist. The sex is incredible (pretty sure we've shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can't fool me - not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that "true love" is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn't exist. He thinks I'm wrong, and he wants to prove it. I think he's crazy, so I dare him to try.

I don’t have time to fall in love - I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar. Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s 27, the boss’ daughter, and my new part-time nanny - which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her. What kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July.

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.

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 was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce, when I saw him - my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar, all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes. On paper, it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him. But, I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.

There's rich. Then there's the Ellsworth family. The Kensingtons. American royalty. Money buys power, and power always has a price. The fear of those who already possess both? Losing it. The best way to ensure keeping it? Alliances. And elites don't marry down—they marry equal. For Scarlett Ellsworth and Crew Kensington, that leaves one option: each other. Accepting that inevitability is very different from embracing it. That's the only thing they agree upon. It was meant to be a union for better and for business.

He's a tattooed, blue-eyed jerk who has no business being a single dad. He's also my next-door neighbor, and after negotiations, my grumpy employer for the summer. I don't put up with cocky males normally, and I certainly won't put up with that man making noise at all hours of the day and night while he builds his glamp-ground. I offer advice, but the stubborn fool just turns his tractor on to drown me out. He returns the favor by pushing my buttons and making me so angry I can't see straight. And I really want to be able to see his gorgeous body in those well-worn jeans and backward hat.

Slap Shot Surprise !!!
OH MY GOSH ! THIS ONE MIGHT BE MY NEW FAVORITE !!!! Mable Jane Buckley is a quirky, nerdy, play it safe kinda girl who has a DEATHLY fear of flying . Which makes for the most hilarious meet cute with none other than perfectly sculpted, Paul’s twin brother, professional hockey player, Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Lupo . Cut to them both running into each other at a wedding in their home town of Cherry Tree Harbor, Michigan .. and a one night stand surprise happens !!! Long distance is never fun, but these two learn rather quickly that they are capable of scoring the goal . I can’t believe this perfection of a small town series has come to an end . Until my reread Cherry Tree .
This is book five in the Cherry Tree Harbor series and it can be read as a complete standalone .
This audiobook was given to me for honest review by the author .

My favorite of the series 😍
I loved this one!! Definitely my favorite of the series and I'm so glad Melanie Harlow gave us Joe and Mabel's story!!
I knew from the very first chapter I would love this. Their meet cute is hilarious and so original. Of course after that whole situation they would end up at the same wedding. Why not have a night of some fun??!! And of course this night ends up in a pregnancy, which I thought was done so well.
I loved how they both handled everything with such grace and how this brought them together to form an amazing friendship. I think developing that friendship led to having a great foundation for their love. It was perfect.
With Mabel being the baby of the family, I loved seeing her have her moment and get her love story. She loved this baby from the start and was ready to be a mom and you could just feel that she would be the best mom there is. She was strong but also so fun and just that person who would be a great friend!
And Joe! He definitely wasn't expecting any of this. And honestly didn't ever want a baby and wife. Especially at this time in his career. But I loved how he took care of Mabel and wanted to provide for her in any way he could. And he really stepped up and ended up being that rock that Mabel needed to start their family. And I mean, they had great chemistry and he was good in bed too haha.
This was overall just a fantastic conclusion to this series. I wouldn't say you need to read this series in order, and while this one is my favorite, I highly recommend them all! The audiobook was amazing, Connor Crais fantastic as always and Kirsten Leigh did a great job!

I love a pregnancy trope
This was a different way to go about it. I really enjoy the “ stranger to pregnant to love “ trope. Good palette cleanser

Romantic, witty, tender, and steamy romance!
I absolutely adored Mabel Buckley and Joe Lupo and their irresistible love story! It held me captive from page one with it's heartfelt emotion, fun banter, and hot and steamy passion. Mabel and Joe's funny meet cute had Mabel spilling all her secrets to the hot man sitting next to her when she thought their plane was going down. When they meet for a second time, Joe was determined to take care of several of her secrets! Now Mabel has a new secret that will bind them together forever. Joe was only focused on hockey, not considering life beyond that. Now that Mabel was carrying his child, everything changed. But they still live in different places. Can they make their new little family work when they have different ideas and goals? I fell so completely in love with Mabel and Joe, and their fun and fiery love story. Joe is scorching hot, honorable, and protective. He totally had me swooning with all the ways he took care of Mabel. Mabel is smart, funny and confident. She doesn't want to stand in the way of Joe's dreams, which makes him want her even more. They are so perfect together, having fun, both being close to their families, and their chemistry is explosive!
The narrators made this story and these characters come to life so beautifully. They both balanced each characters strength, vulnerability, heartache, and passion, and made me laugh, cry, and fall in love. They completely pulled me in to this world and I felt like I was right there with Mabel and Joe, and all their family and friends.
This is a wonderfully romantic, witty, tender, and steamy story that you can't help but devour as it captures your heart.

“…you know forever when you feel it.”
I am head over heels in love and positively obsessed with Joe and Mabel. They are absolute PERFECTION!! Slap Shot Surprise was a swoony and emotional delight and I couldn’t put it down once I started.
Mabel was so fun with her awkward rambling and nervous hiccups. I loved how maturely she handled the situation and the strength she showed throughout her pregnancy. She was strong and caring and such a joyful character.
Joe was so swoonworthy once he decided what he wanted. He was such a good guy—kind, thoughtful, loved his family and that mouth of his was filthy. I thought his fears and expectations about what he thought his life should look like was realistically portrayed. I loved watching the lightbulb going off in his head and watching him spring into action to get his family.
The audio is narrated by Connor Crais and Kirsten Leigh and it was oh, so good. Connor is perfection as Joe Lupo with his charm and filthy mouth while Kirsten is a delight as Mabel. She brings all Mabel’s adorable awkwardness to life to perfection. I absolutely loved listening to this one as much as I loved reading it.
The flirty banter between Joe and Mabel was everything. It crackled with wit, humor and electricity. These two were comfortable with one another while also being wildly attracted to each other. I loved watching them navigate their surprise pregnancy as well as their unexpected connection and feelings. Slap Shot Surprise was pure perfection and I loved every single moment of this fun, heartfelt story.

Melanie Has Done it Again!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it til I’m blue in the face… Melanie Harlow is my Michigan small town romance queen! She never fails to bring some of my favorite places in the state to life in her own way, and tells a unique, well written story that always has me ready to pack my bags and move back home in hopes I’ll get my own HEA!
Joe and Mabel’s story was completely entertaining from start to finish in Slap Shot Surprise. From a hilarious meet cute in an airplane, a steamy one night stand, to two pink lines on a stick, everything these two has ever known gets thrown on its head in an instant.
I adored Mabel as our heroine, and am SO HAPPY she’s getting her own story. She’s been in and out in previous books, but had lots of work to do before getting to her HEA. And Joe. Ohhhhh Joe. I’ve been waiting for you to meet your match. He’s been single and happy as a clam for years, and prefers the status quo. I loved that Mabel made him finally face his own life and decisions, and see how his actions and choices affect everything else.
I simply loved this book! Mabel and Joes relationship wasn’t conventional but the way it developed throughout the book was PERFECT. Well done, Melanie!

Loved the story, the characters and the narration
Slap Shot Surprise is the final book in the Cherry Tree Harbor Series and I believe Ms Harlow left the best for last. This was a bittersweet listen/read and it was everything I expected and so much more. It was only meant to be one night but who would have guessed a hook up between hockey star Joe Lupo and sweet smal, town girl Mabel was going to turn into a life long commitment. The player finds himself wanting more and all of sudden he can’t live without her….. What follows is a captivating and heartwarming journey as the sweet and caring Mabel finds herself in the world of a star hockey player.
Kristen Leigh and Connor Crais did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their journey to life. They were spot on with the emotion and the humour plus they were very easy to listen to.
Was I sad to see this series end…off course but what a story to end the series with and I’m sure I will be reading this series again and again because I will never tire of the residents of Cherry Tree Harbor. If you love small town romance I urge you to be click this gem of a listen.

No Surprise How Good This Is
It’s no surprise how good this book is… Harlow writes some swoon worthy romances and this was perfect. The characters were charming, past character cameos gave off that small town feel of the series and still the story was uniquely its own. Such a good audiobook.

score and win
this is just such a fabulous listen the story was amazing it's one of those where you just can't stop listening you have to find out what is going to happen. it's also one of those sweet stories where you just sigh and smile. because let's face it we all want to be on a plane right next to a hot hockey player and be awkward as hell but have the guy hit on us anyway that's not exactly what happens but they meet later on at a wedding after the awkward as hell meet on the plane. without giving too much away I just want to say this was such a fabulous story The awkwardness the hotness of him it just all came together so well and I absolutely loved every second of the story The narrators did a fabulous job Connor did a wonderful job playing that pro hockey player father to be. and the female narrator did a great job of being Mabel the awkwardness of her she she just played it really well you really believed it and that's what you want it was a fabulous listen and I would highly recommend this to anyone
