About this listen
These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.
In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry. He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no. (I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days). He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.
Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend, which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.
I offered him a napkin.Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*
However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.
And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée. Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Story
Meeting Ross Davis, professional baseball coach and my sports crush, is a funny story involving a stalled elevator, the potty dance, and an attempt to get into his hotel suite. In my defense, that last one was an accident. He came to my room instead with a bottle of scotch and a sad soul. My one night was not a stand, but more like a lie-in. As in, we snuggled and talked and not another thing happened. So, nothing surprises me more than seeing him again when he becomes the manager of the Chicago Anchors, my hometown pro-team, and our paths intersect once more.

Story
One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

My ex’s brother is officially off-limits. Right? He’s ten years older. He’s only in town for a few weeks. And did I mention he’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother? But when I agree to be the grumpy lumberjack’s temporary assistant, it gets harder and harder to resist him. He’s all beard, broad shoulders, and growls, but I savor every one of his rare smiles.

Being hired as the PR representative for the hockey team I’ve always been a fan of, should be a dream come true, especially because my old crush plays for them. My suggestion to save Briggs's career is solid… have him fake date someone wholesome who can change his image. That’s when my big mouth gets in the way and I admit to being the-girl-next-door. Now… my boss is offering me the promotion of a lifetime, but it comes with strings… Fake date Briggs Conley!

Story
I never thought I’d be a runaway bride. But when it came down to it, I just couldn’t marry the wrong man. So, I ran. And somehow, I ended up in Star Falls, Colorado—stranded, no luggage, no plan—in a wedding dress with a past I’d rather forget. Fate lands me in the only available rental in town, a cozy little cabin… right next door to Byron Miller, the brooding billionaire who wants nothing to do with me. Or this town.

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.

Imagine my surprise when my new neighbor turns out to be one of Scotland’s most famous (and hottest) professional footballers, Callan Keen. I’m even more shocked to discover that the brooding player is still holding a grudge for something that happened (or didn’t happen) between us years ago. Too busy trying to take my social media management company to the next level, I don’t have time for this gorgeous blast from the past. Or at least I shouldn’t. Yet whenever I see him, I can’t help but engage in a battle of wits with the grump upstairs.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

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.

Fatefully, it’s with the new head chef at her sister’s restaurant: Enzo. A gentler man than the one she remembers, yet fire still burns. And a warning still lingers: don’t get too close.

Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS NHL ROMANCE

I love L. B. Dunbar writing style as her characters are engaging and so easy to relate to.
From the first chapter, I was invested in the story. This is a beautifully written, witty, emotional story that ticked all the boxes for me.
There are equal amounts of passion, romance, and some angst in this story which had me tearing up and smiling, sometimes at the same time.
Their journey was not without its ups and downs, but it was worth it in the end.
Narrated by Ryan West and Erin Mallon who did a brilliant job in their narration. They brought all the drama, passion and romance out . Their performances did justice to the wonderful story and the characters created.
Great addition to the series

This is the Sterling Falls series book 5. I like that this a long series and we get to hear about the past characters. I like that the family has each others back and that accepted Genie so easily. I really like the epilogue, it was so awesome. This book has plenty of steamy moments, rabbits have nothing
Ryan West & Erin Mallon were absolutely fantastic with this book. ZI really like this pair together, they seem to compliment each other.
Yummy

Narration -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sterling Fight is book #5 in the Sterling Falls series. I was so happy to get Judd's story as he has been an enigma to me in each book so far. Judd and Genie (Virginia) were friends in school, but a bad prom night drives a wedge between them. Fast forward a couple of decades and Genie is back in Sterling Falls for a visit to her uber-controlling and condescending mother. A chance encounter has them fake engaged, but Judd knows he only has a short amount of time to make her fall in love with him for real. Ms. Dunbar really brought all the goodies to this story (small-town, second chance, enemies-to-lovers, close proximity, fake engagement, steamy smexy times, he falls first). This was my favorite of the series, hands-down! It's a standalone, but you do NOT want to miss this series.
The narration of Ryan West and Erin Mallon was very impressive! Ryan West isn't a new narrator for me, but I don't hear him much in my favorite genre of audiobooks. Wow! He is so versatile! And did he deliver Judd? Yes, yes he did. Exactly as I have imagined him. Erin Mallon is narrator royalty, so we always know she is going to deliver greatness. Loved these two together. 5/5 stars!
Judd and Genie define couple goals! ❤️

Narration: 4 ⭐️s
To say I’ve been eagerly anticipating Judd Sylver’s story is an understatement. I’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for this one, and now that it’s here all I can say is well done Ms Dunbar! And despite some trope overlap with past books and undercooked external conflict, the way Judd and Genie’s story unfolded was a joy to me.
I loved that this book’s plot allowed the MCs so much time together. There was all this wonderful space for them to be one-to-one and to renew their connection. While there is a lot of steam between Judd and Genie, their intimacy never felt rushed or overdone. And though there are shades of second chance here, it felt different from Knox and Halle, because unlike them, Genie and Judd never truly got their first chance. There’s also some fun overlap with the fake fiancé trope that added humor and angst, which I was surprised to find worked for me. There’s lighthearted banter, but also this exploration of underlying grief brought on by the loss of a parent. Both Judd and Genie are dealing with their own version of it, and the unfolding is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Five books in, we already know that the Sylver clan had it rough growing up, and each story reveals more devastating details to the picture of their past. The series began and it was a blurry family portrait, but each story has made each individual Sylver sibling clearer, along with the whole.
The secondary cast of the Sylver clan are still wonderful and my love for them, and their family dynamic, only grows. I thought there were some great scenes of dinners and the family coming together to support Judd (and Genie!). It’s just a family portrait I love returning to.
With book 5, the weaker elements boil down to some lackluster external conflicts, in this case with Judd’s obnoxious ex-girlfriend, Heather, and Genie’s self-centered mother. Both started out fine, but by the time the story wrapped up, those tensions kind of fell away. Ultimately, I was almost grateful for the brushing aside of those external factors, because it left room for such a tight focus on Judd and Genie building their connection.
The audiobook was very good. Erin Mallon is her usual best, and turns in a wonderful performance as Genie. This is a character with a charming blend of heart, vulnerability, and quirks, and there are few narrators who portray that blend as well as Mallon. Ryan West as Judd was also good. While I found his portrayal less engaging than Mallon, he still fit the bill for the brooding but tender Judd very well. Together the narrators make the audio well worth a listen.
All told, SF is an enjoyable story of love and reconnection, as well as another wonderful addition to Dunbar’s Sterling Falls series. Again, I’m looking forward to the next while at the same time being sad that there are not many more Sylver siblings to go!
I received an ALC copy of the audiobook via Home Cooked Books and read via KU. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
❤️ And now it’s Judd’s turn…

I have loved, and I mean loved the entire Sterling Falls series, but Judd & Genie just became my favorite couple of the group. It may be because I read the first four books and this was my first audiobook of the series, because let's be honest, audiobooks just hit different, and Ryan West and Erin Mallon were phenomenal as Judd and Genie. They delivered the emotions, the angst, and all the love that these characters had inside them. I genuinely felt like I was sitting in a room listening to Judd and Genie tell me their love story.
Judd and Genie were both carrying scars from the past when they reconnected, and even though Judd knew from the moment he laid eyes on her after all those years that she was going to be his, Genie was much more hesitant to let them be anything more than a fling. Some scars run deeper than others. The genuine friendship and connection these two had could be felt deep in your soul. The love and passion was read with such vulnerability that you will feel it to your core.
When they both started to let their walls down they fell hard and fast and, even though they were still working through their individual turmoil, it was clear to both of them that they only future that existed was them together. The epilogues made my heart explode with happiness and I felt like I was celebrating my friends HEA. They truly got everything their hearts desired.
Bravo on an incredible audiobook. An absolute must listen.
Took the top spot as one of my favorite audiobooks
