About this listen
It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.
Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.
My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.
He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.
It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy—and before I know it, I have a new friend…with benefits. Fun and filthy benefits. There’s just one problem—He’s also my son’s teacher.

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.

So, when the guy behind the bar started giving me the look....you know, the one....You don’t bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse, and ride it! By the time I’d figured out who the bartender was, I was already falling for him.

Story
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.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

I thought I was over him. That his good looks and British accent couldn’t affect me anymore. But the minute our eyes lock across the elevator, all those feelings come roaring back to life. Then I find out we’re competing for the same job. Next comes the realization that we have to spend a week together on a ski vacation because of some six-degree-of-separation nonsense. The real kicker is when I find out the two of us have to share a villa. A very small, very cozy villa.

I was only trying to help a friend. I swear. I was legit asking for a friend who was finally ready to date again. So I did what any good friend would do. Posted it for her. It seemed like a good idea at the time - I’d weed through the candidates, and bring her my top picks. But then he responded. Is it wrong to date the guy I screened for my bestie? Not asking for a friend.

She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

I shouldn’t be alive. I should’ve died in that plane crash. Instead, I survived. Thrived, even. After all, I’m a rock star and a billionaire. There’s nothing I can’t buy. Nothing, except peace. And when it all comes crashing down around me… The guilt. The pain. The sorrow. That’s when she appears. The one woman I’m not allowed to love. I needed her to fill the void after everything was lost. There she was, ready, and grieving too. Both of us are broken, shattered people.

The start of Lee Burrows and I was a college girl’s biggest fantasy. Campus’ most popular guy, the starting quarterback, the same guy I’ve crushed on forever, notices me—the quiet introvert. Although, he never would’ve noticed me if he didn’t need my help passing our biology class. I didn’t think I had a chance with him until he started flirting with me and asking me questions like, “Who was the guy you were talking to?” and “Do you have a boyfriend?”

5 "The One I Didn’t See Coming" ⭐ - a must-listen!
After a string of dark romances and a bit of a book slump, I found the perfect antidote in Piper Rayne’s The One I Didn’t See Coming. This spicy, small-town romance is an absolute palate cleanser, brimming with charm and warmth. For audiobook enthusiasts, it’s a must-listen—veteran narrators Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson bring the story to vibrant life with their captivating performances.
The One I Didn’t See Coming by Piper Rayne is the third installment in the Plain Daisy Ranch series, and here, readers return to the charming world of Willowbrook, Nebraska. This time, the spotlight is on Emmett Noughton, the youngest Noughton brother, whose innovative ideas for the family ranch are often overlooked or ignored. Known for his carefree attitude and reputation with women, Emmett struggles to be taken seriously until Briar returns from a life in the city.
Briar, who once had a high school crush on Emmett, finds herself reluctantly moving into his home when her initial living arrangements fall through. Despite her resistance and their rocky start, Emmett's genuine support and their undeniable chemistry lead to a surprising and heartwarming connection. As Briar's hidden secrets come to light and Emmett faces challenges with his family, their evolving relationship becomes a source of comfort and growth for both.
I haven’t had the pleasure of reading the ebook yet—but fear not, I’ve already purchased it and plan to dive in momentarily.😉 The audiobook, however, was outstanding. Narrators Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson did a fantastic job of bringing Emmett and Briar to life. Their vivid portrayals captured the emotional depth and witty banter between the characters beautifully. Jason and Ava are among my favorite audiobook narrators, so my anticipation for their performance was sky-high. (I might have a bit of a Jason Clarke addiction, but that’s neither here nor there. His voice perfectly complements one of Piper Rayne’s heroes!) With the help of their engaging storytelling and dynamic performances, Piper Rayne delivers another delightful and poignant addition to the series. I’m eagerly anticipating the next book. Don’t miss out on this feel-good gem that’s sure to leave you smiling!

Gamechanger
⭐️ALC REVIEW⭐️
The One I didnt See Coming
5 ⭐ / 3🔥🌶
“You're my gamechanger”
This is my second book by Piper Rayne and the third in her Plain Daisy Ranch Series. I absolutely loved this story. I loved the characters and how they overcome feeling like the disappointments and standing up to those they love. The story of will they or won’t they. They’ve been told to not go there, they know they shouldn’t but when everyone is set on keeping them apart they end up coming together in the most beautiful way.
Emmett is the youngest of the Noughton brothers, and he feels like no one takes him seriously. But how can they when growing up he was the one to always crack a joke when things got too serious or to hide his pain. He was a hotshot with the girls, but now that his brother’s have found their happily ever after he can’t help but feel like he’s missing something.
Briar is returning to her hometown, to the Ranch where her high school crush lives. She has nowhere to go and is carrying a secret she wants to keep a little while longer from her older sister. But when she needs a place to stay and her high school crush is her only comfortable option, and the only one who knows her secret. She’s forced to face some tough decisions and fight the charm / soft side the former playboy only has for her.
Together they work to help overcome the feeling of not being good enough and letting everyone down. Together they build each other up and make each other stronger. They start out as enemies, become friends and eventually lovers.
I had the privilege of reading the ARC by @authorpiperrayne and listening to the ALC narrated by @jasonclarkereads & @avaundercover.
The Narration and production of the audiobook was fantastic. @jasonclarkereads & @avaundercover do an amazing job of expressing the angst, the love, the lust, the spice and everything nice that is this small town romance. They are exactly what I pictured the characters to sound like when reading the book!
I cannot express enough how much I enjoyed this book and highly recommend you download it for reading or listening TODAY. Available on Kindle and Audible.
