About this listen
Romance and Redemption. Welcome to Rock Creek.
My name is Kirstin Hill. I'm a simple girl trying to figure out life in a small town. There are a few things you should know about me before we begin. I grew up in the city. I'm a teacher, a first-year teacher (some of you understand that significance). And finally, when it comes to cooking, I'm a disaster. Maybe none of those things seem story worthy, but trust me—I have a story. I call it The Cupcake Dilemma, and it literally changed my life. How? I'm glad you asked. It all started with an extra assignment delegated to me at school right before Valentine's Day.... But before we get too far, let me begin by stating this clearly. I was voluntold.

Story
Someone had noticed me. A secret admirer? A man with a good heart, who saw how much I actually do need help, even though I never admit it, and how much Sydney needs someone to teach her that men can be nice - that some of them stick around, no matter how hard life gets. Maybe I knew him. Maybe he's been around for a while. Maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful story - a romance full of hope and second chances and love.

Totally Funny, Sweet, Clean, Rom-Com
Having previously read and loved this entertaining book by Jennifer Rodewald in 4/21, it was even more joyful to listen to it on Audible by the skilled narrator, Lauren Pedersen! She absolutely made the main character, 2nd grade teacher and kitchen disaster queen, Kirstin, come alive with her perfect portrayal of Kirstin’s unique wit and humor!
I am not even usually a person who likes romantic comedy books, but because I have been a huge fan of the full length contemporary Christian romance books that Jennifer Rodewald writes, I gave this one a try, and was very pleasantly surprised. Can’t imagine any woman who would not appreciate listening to this! Be prepared to laugh out loud frequently!
