About this listen

She’s his best friend’s little sister and off limits.

College freshman, Finley Farrow, has two fairly ambitious goals this school year: make the football team and get over Shepard Connelly. The gorgeous football player with the magnificent voice would one day be a star on or off the field. But he’ll never see her as more than his best friend’s sister. Now her eye is on the end zone. Making the team could turn out to be the easy part. Practicing with Shepard every day while ignoring her feelings? The real challenge.

Shepard hasn’t had it easy like the Farrows. He won his ticket to the prestigious Layton University through football. Yet his passion lies in music. His killer smile can get him almost any girl he wants, except the one he can’t have. Everything he’s wanted to say to her is channeled into his soul wrenching lyrics. But he’s been sitting on the sideline far too long, and it’s time to make a move before the team’s starting quarterback wins her heart.

A life altering accusation could fumble everything for him. Most importantly, his big play for the only girl he’s ever wanted.

Family, friendship and love bind them together. Secrets, lies, and rules keep them apart.

So freaking good

Wasn’t sure what to expect with this but oh my god! Love ❤️ this story and the characters! I need Zachary Webber to just marry me, I mean I’m already married but two is better than one so I’m good with that! Lol jk of course. But seriously this book has all the feels. Similar story line in some respects but a fresh new spin on it. Totally worth the credit

Finlay and Sheppard

Brother's best friend. Girl makes football team. Spurious allegations. This has made me very curious about the other characters' books too!
Great narration.

I wanted so much to like this one!

Let me start by saying that the narrators were both fantastic! You can never go wrong with Zachary Webber. Teri Schnaubelt was new to me. I really enjoyed her.

Now the story. I really was looking forward to this book but it just didn’t work for me. I didn’t care fore the heroine. She was to wishy washy for my taste. It also took to long for the couple to get together. Too many misunderstandings.

The writing was solid and it is not that this is a bad book, it is just that it wasn’t for me.

I received this book free from the author. I only wish I could have left a more positive review.

Great Story & Audible Listen🎧 4.5 Heartfelt🌟Stars🌟

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it is a great story that is not your usual college sports romance. The storylines are interesting and original, they grab you from the start and captivate your mind from start to end. I really liked the characters and how well the author developed them. Finley, August and Cooper are triplets are starting college, they chose to go to the same school and are living together in a town house along with Shepard, August and Cooper’s best friend. I admired Finley’s strength and determination going for what she wants. I appreciated the support she received from her brothers and Shepard, I loved the camaraderie between them. Shepard and Finley secretly crushed on each other but both are afraid to act on it afraid how her brothers & family will react. My one grievance in this story is how long it took for them to act on that crush, it got a bit frustrating. But all is redeemed when they finally do. I loved the chemistry between them from the start, loved how she was his biggest supporter throughout his ordeal. Also loved the camaraderie between the triplets and Shepard too. I highly recommend this story, it is enjoyable and entertaining, there is no shortage of drama, angst, twists, emotions and great romance. This is my first book written by Terri E. Laine and it will not be my last. Thank you for this great story.

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Teri Schnaubelt and Zachary Webber who are amazing and entertaining storytellers and voice performers. They bring the characters to life, give each their own voice and personality. They project the emotions of the characters and the drama of the story in their performance. Thank you for another great listen🎧

Friends to Lovers with a Twist!!!

This is another great release by Terri E. Laine. Friends to Lovers romance with my favorite Forbidden theme, brother’s Best Friend.
Finley has been secretly in love with Shepard Connelly for years and has given up hope that he will ever see her as anything more than his best friends little sister. But now that Finley has started showing interest in other guys, Shepard realizes he can’t keep his hidden feelings quiet any longer. Oh yes!! He feels the same way too!!
But when Finley joins the guys in College and makes it on the football team, things begin to change in her relationship with Shepard as well as the guys on the team.
People are determined to keep them apart and lies, deceit and false accusations will turn their worlds upside down.
But together these two have each other’s backs and show how deep their trust and friendship truly runs.
A great cast of characters and enough angst to keep you on the edge of your seat.
This was told in both Shepard and Finley’s POV and Zachary Webber was amazing as always!! This was the first time I’ve listened to Teri Schnaubelt narrate and I really liked her style and voice.

I would definitely recommend this book!

Sweet and swoonable!

Finn is such a great female lead. She's obviously a fierce competitor, on and off the field. She's loyal to those she loves and fights for what she deems right. Shep was where it was at for me!! He was one of the most swoonable men characters I've listened to in a while. I could not help but fall for him. Really, it's no wonder Finn fell so hard for him or him even fling for her. You put two amazing, unrelated people together for so long, well something is bound to happen!!

The narrators for Songs for Cricket are absolutely perfect. I could hear Zachary Webber singing some of Shep's songs. He really just seemed to fit for everything that is the amazing character of Shep. Teri Schnaubelt was a remarkable Finn. The narrator for her really needed to be a woman that wasn't too happy and girly sounding but still sounded like a woman. Terri was a perfect fit!

Great story

This was the first book from Terri Laine that I have listened to and I really liked it. It was a friends to lovers/sports/brother's best friend story. Finley and Shepard grew up together and lived together due to his family issues. They ended up going to the same college and why they were there, some major things went down with Shepard and they had to fight to prove that he was innocent. Once you get started you won't want to put it down. You get sucked into the story and you want to see if they will be able to get their HEA. The narration was great, Zachary and Teri brought life to the characters.

Great Story!

Songs for Cricket by Terri E. Laine can be characterized as friends to lovers or friends little sister romance or a sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Teri Schnaubelt and Zachary Webber. It is book one in the Butterfly Duet Series that is a spin-off of the Chasing Butterflies Series that can be read as standalone novels.

This is the first book of Terri’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I enjoyed the detail she put into the storyline. I really enjoyed the narrators on this project. I love when there are two narrators to help distinguish between the characters easily. They pulled me into the story and I just had to know how it was going to end.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves friends to lovers, sports romance, best friends sister books.

Loved this fun, sweet, and steamy romance!

I really enjoyed this coming of age, forbidden romance. When the Farrow triplets head off for college along with their best friend, Shepard Connelly, they see a new world of possibilities. Finley wants to start a new life where her father doesn't hold her back in favor of her brothers and to get over her crush on Shepard as well. She wants to find new friends and to make the football team. She is independent, competitive, and determined to prove herself on and off the field. Shepard is a poetic soul, but needs his football scholarship to pay for school. He has loved his best friends sister for a long time but doesn't feel worthy of her because of his meager and shameful family history. The chemistry between Shepard and Finley was palpable, but they didn't know how to navigate their relationship from friends to lovers without hurting her brothers, August and Cooper. College life brings all the complications and challenges that make Shepard, Finley, and her brothers grow from all their mistakes and successes. This is a sweet, steamy, and angsty romance, with several twists and turns that kept me totally engaged and is brought to life beautifully by talented narrators, Teri Schnaubelt, and Zachary Webber. Schnaubelt embodied Finley's strength, resilience, and vulnerability flawlessly. Webber was exceptional as he brought out the range of emotions that Shepard struggled with from his family secrets to the heartbreak of loving his 'off limits' best friends sister. Both narrators have a wonderful range of voices and expression that I love to get lost in and make this story even better.
This is a good start to this new series and I can't wait for August and Cooper's story!
