About this listen
Some describe me as a quirky, free-spirited journalist who charges her crystals by moonlight. They’re not wrong.
My instincts ensure I know everything that goes on in my small town. And not much surprises me. But when the man who destroyed my heart returns to care for his family’s business, I’m shaken to the core.
After our messy breakup, Hayden Shaw swore he’d never come back to Valentine, Texas. Years later, I’m still trying to forget we ever existed. Damn near impossible when he’s now everywhere. A constant reminder of what could have been.
Rumors swirl about his true intentions, but a little gossip has never bothered me. However, if winning over my heart is his endgame, he can hang up his spurs, because I won’t make the same mistake twice—or will I?
Spill the Sweet Tea is a second-chance, hate-to-love-you, grumpy/sunshine contemporary small-town Southern romance with rom-com vibes and a happily ever after.
Each book in the Valentine Texas series is a stand-alone.
Warning: This romance book contains tons of Southern sass, lots of woo-woo, and small-town gossip! Fade to black and cheating are not included.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

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.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

Story
Never trust a man who gets paid to take off his clothes for a living, and then uses it as a pickup line to get girls in bed with him. That should’ve been enough for me to call in sick that day. I’ve worked with male cover models like him before, and they’re all the same - smooth-talking, sexy as sin, egotistical know-it-alls who think they’re God’s gift to women - all traits I know to steer clear of.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

What’s not to love?
What’s not to love about a beautiful second chance romance? Kinsley and Hayden were high school sweethearts. He left Kinsley and Valentine, TX behind for Houston, leaving her heartbroken. Ten years later, following his Dad’s unexpected health issue, Hayden is back in Valentine to run their family owned book store. His first day back in town, he runs into Kinsley…and it does NOT go well. It seems everyone in Valentine expects Hayden and Kinsley to get back together…well, except Hayden and Kinsley.
Vanessa and Aaron are fantastic narrators who truly brought Kinsley and Hayden to life.
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Harrison and Grace!

Excellent Tea
4.25⭐️ Spill the Sweet Tea was such a fun second Chance romance that is well written and not a given that the two characters will end up back together. Valentine, Texas and the folks who live there in this series are my kind of people!

Swoony and steamy second chance romance
Oh how I love a swoony, second chance romance. “Spill the Sweet Tea” is a fun, steamy and heartfelt second chance romance that checks all the boxes.
Kinsley is a crystal loving, let fate decide journalist who is working her way up the chain in the local newspaper. Ten years ago, her high school sweetheart and her first love, Hayden Shaw, broke her heart and moved to Houston. But due to a family emergency, Hayden is back in Valentine and despite her best efforts, Kinsley is still not over Hayden. And he’s determined to be back in her life.
I loved the banter between Kinsley and Hayden. She threw him some zingers and he met her on equal grounds. There were a lot of hurt feelings between them but they were able to work it out like adults. None of it was childish which I loved. I loved how much a free spirit Kinsley was and how much she loved being a journalist. Hayden is a swoon worthy man who dropped everything to help his family and worked his way, the right way, back into Kinsley’s life and heart. The steamy scenes were so steamy with a capital S. The last few chapters were so sweet and wrapped up their story perfectly. The little tease we get for the next book has me counting down the days until we get it.
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock were amazing as Kensley and Hayden. Vanessa’s accent was great, she brought the fun and passionate Kensley perfectly. Aaron is always great as a swoony Southerner and I loved listening to him as caring and genuine Hayden.

Great story and narration
Lyra Parish is a relatively new author to me. Spill The Sweet Tea is everything I look for in a romance book. The story was well written, entertaining and I quickly became invested in Hayden and Kinsley’s story.
Set in small town, Valentine, Texas this second chance at love story took me on a wonderful journey. Years after breaking Kinsley’s heart, Hayden has done the one thing he said he’d never do, returned to Valentine.
Both need to come to terms with the past if they are to have any chance at a future. Hayden has his work cut out for him and I loved how sassy, fierce, and determined Kinsley is.
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock’s narration was spot on. Their voices are easy to listen to and they brought the characters and story to life with their performances. They certainly did justice to the characters and the story that Ms. Parish wove.
As you would expect from a story based in a small town, everyone is up in everyone’s business and that just added an additional layer to the story. The characters are quirky, and I cannot wait to read more in the series.

2nd chance after 10 years
another great story from Lyra Parish. Thus story is about Kenz and Hayden. High School Sweethearts until the day he left and broke her heart. 10 years pass before she sets eyes on him again. as they both navigate and work through what drove them apart they find love again. we get all the up and downs. Sprinkle in The Valentine Clan.
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock were perfect as Hayden and Kenz. They kept me wanting more.

Lots of Tea spilled here!
4.5 out of 5 stars!
Second chance small town romance...say less! I love small towns and Valentine, TX is no exception. There are meddling family members and townspeople and lots of camaraderie. While I'm not into woo woo stuff (crystals, tarot cards), I loved how much of Kinsley's personality centered on using these tools to bring her positivity. When Hayden comes back to town, reason unknown to everyone but his family, Kinsley's life balance seems to be teetering. They tried to avoid each other, but fate kept bringing them together. They went from zero to 100 when it came to falling into bed with each other... ummm, okaayy. My ick with that was the no protection part; they had both been with other people shortly before they got together. Otherwise, this story brought great banter, humor, communication, and second chances for more than just Kinsley and Hayden's relationship. I loved the interactions with their families and revisiting Summer and Bennett. Can't wait to see what antics the author will bring to the next book in this series. Some of that tea has already been spilled!
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock brought the southern charm to this story. They personified Kinsley and Hayden! Truly talented narrators!
I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Great quick read!
This book was so cute and such a breeze to get through! I loved the set up for this book and how Lyra incorporated a few flashbacks to Kinsley and Hayden’s first chance at love. I feel like it gave just the right amount of insight as to who they were vs who they are now. I wish there was a little more of everything (plot, conflict, gossip, etc) to this book just because I felt like there were some great opportunities to expand the story, but I also get that it wasn’t ultimately needed. The narrators did such a great job and only added to the story with their performances!

Great read!! Loved the characters and story!
I really enjoyed this story! It pulled me in from beginning to end and held my attention the entire time. This one is a great second chance romance with two people that were just meant to be together. I loved how well they knew each other and still cared for each other that once they were around each other again, it all started coming back. Kinsley is a little woo woo with her crystals and manifesting but it totally fits her and the story. It worked even if that's not your thing and I loved watching Hayden and Kinsley bring the best back out of themselves once they made it past that first hurdle. Both were really hurt by their breakup and there are definite issues that they have to work through but I loved the sass and teasing that comes through in this book. It was easy to read and stay engaged with and I truly enjoyed it and am really excited for what is coming next in this series.
The narrators did a great with the story and characters. They had great Texas twangs going on and you could hear the action and emotion in their voices throughout the story and it really just brought the story to life.

second chance with a lot of sass and all the feels
Kinsley and Hayden were perfection. Hayden is back in town due to his dad being in the hospital and him having to run the family's bookstore. Kinsley just wants her column in the paper. Her boss wants a story on Hayden's family's bookstore. Their history as high school sweethearts makes things a bit awkward given their breakup years ago. After some forced proximity things get spicy and mistakes are forgiven.
Their story truly portrays what second chances are. Add in plenty of snark and some small town gossip and you have the perfect glass of sweet tea.
Vanessa Edwin and Aaron Shedlock added the perfect amount of Texas twang to their performances to really make it feel like we were right there in Valentine with them :)
