Destroying other people isn't going to make you feel any better.
That suggests you've never destroyed an enemy before. It's actually quite fulfilling.
EMMY
Elliott Springs has small-town values, cobblestone streets, perfect scenery. These are things I don't care about. What I do care about: Revenge. And no matter how compelling I find Liam Doherty—the guy focused on saving Elliott Springs—I'm going to get it.
LIAM
What do you call a woman who wants to destroy everything you love, yet the sight of her sets you on fire? Nemesis or future wife—and since she can't wait to leave California, I guess I know which one she is.
Emerson Hughes wants to be the villain in our town's history, and the more I learn about her past here, the more I understand it.
I wanted to save Elliott Springs.
I think I want to save her even more.

🎧📚🎧 Aiden Snow and Stephanie Rose did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Snow’s Cooper was swoon worthy and Rose was equally amazing in her role as Gabby, both grasping every aspect of their characters’ personality and they were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their performance elevates the story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.
Awesome Story & Listen🎧Captivating & Heartfelt!

ALC REVIEW
Another absolute banger from Elizabeth in addition to being narrated by Samantha Brentmoor, whom I love dearly and the way she embodies Elizabeth’s female characters. JF Harding was the perfect Liam to tie this story together 👏🏼 This story does have some sensitive topics, that I thought were handled with incredible care and extremely relatable feelings and experiences. Emmy is back in her hometown of Elliot Springs to take care of her mother while also on a warpath of revenge to bring down those who created a mockery out of her childhood and were relentless bullies. Liam is the contractor hired to help Emmy with her construction plans, with who she has been texting back and forth with over the course of the initial stages on planning. While she finds Liam incredibly compelling via text, things start off on the wrong foot when they finally meet in person. I love Liam’s determination for his town, but also for Emmy. This man went to bat for her so many times even against herself and really showed her what unfiltered, unconditional love actually is. Emmy is not perfect by any means, and that’s what I loved most about her, she is real, she is hurt, there is life long trauma stemming from her god awful mother and this town that has led her to operate the way she does. I am so glad I got to listen to this book, and will always scream from the rooftops how much I adore Elizabeth and her books.
Elizabeth never disappoints!

I love beautifully broken characters that make me fall hard for them as they heal and grow. I loved how O'Roark masterfully weaved this story, slowly revealing Emmy and Liam's past along with heartbreaking secrets that had me completely mesmerized and consumed by this addicting story. Emmy quickly leaps onto the pages and makes you want to root for her even when you don't understand her motivations. Liam is so swoony being sweet and thoughtful one minute and deliciously dirty the next.
Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding gave flawless performances as they brought these characters and their story to life. I loved their portrayals of Emmy and Liam and they absolutely nail their banter, and their growing emotional connection. They clearly conveying Emmy and Liam's strengths and vulnerabilities as they learn to trust and open up to one another. They conveying so much emotion in their performances, making my heart race from beginning to end.
I absolutely loved every moment of this beautiful, poignant, and sizzling romance!

📚Story Summary and Review📚
This book was so incredibly good, yet so heart-wrenchingly difficult to read. Emerson’s journey was one that broke me. I actually had to take a break and come back to it because it wasn’t just the town she destroyed—my heart hurt so much for her! Emerson carries so much hate in her heart, a result of the trauma she experienced growing up. The body shaming, the unhealthy habits, and the downright abuse she endured, was so crushing.
Emerson was so broken and angry, and it’s no wonder. Nobody ever showed her how to be happy or feel loved and wanted; she grew up under the oppressive shadow of her own personal "Mommy Dearest." Despite all that darkness, I absolutely loved how Liam stepped into her life and showed her that there is still good in the world. His presence helped her begin to see that she is worthy of love and happiness.
Though this book was heavy, it’s a beautifully written story about growth, forgiveness, and the importance of showing up for yourself with brightness at the end of the tunnel.
🎧❤️Audiobook Review❤️🎧
I loved JF's portrayal of the broody and protective Liam; he perfectly embodied all of Liam's goodness and light. Samantha brought so much emotion and depth to her performance, especially during the flashbacks as we learned about Emerson’s history. Her delivery was heavy with emotion, capturing the complexity of the character beautifully. I very much recommend experiencing this one in audio—both narrators really delivered an incredible performance!
**These are my own honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily. I purchased this audiobook.

Emmy Hughes despises her hometown, Elliott Springs, and harbors a burning desire to obliterate it along with the people who tormented her in the past. However, her plans encounter resistance from an unexpected source: Liam Doherty refuses to let her get away with it.
✨Thoughts✨
This is the second time Elizabeth O'Roark has made me love the story's supposed villain. This novel stirred a wide range of relatable emotions, from heart-wrenching to soul-stirring.
🔸It was easy to sympathize with Emmy's thirst for revenge. The town of Elliott Springs had become entwined with her traumatic childhood experience. And despite there being reasons for her to be rotten to the core, she was kind. Even with her grumpy disposition, there was something uniquely endearing about her. As for our MMC, Liam, he was the epitome of the dream man. He was able to be Emmy's friend, able to see beyond all of her walls, and that right there was just too precious!
🎧Let's take a moment to appreciate the exceptional narration by Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding. Their duet narration effortlessly brings the story to life. They are the perfect team!
🔸Overall, if you are a fan of small-town romance and don't mind a heroine who enjoys a bit of revenge, then this audiobook is an absolute must-listen!
My rating: 5⭐️
Spice level: 3/5🌶️
🔸Elizabeth O’Roark does it again!🙌🏼

Such a fun listen! Samantha Brentmoor and JF Harding did soo well here! I loved this audio so much 🥹 this book evoked so many emotions. I felt so much for Emmy and her trauma. She went through things that no one ever should ever have to go through. Her backstory was so heartbreaking. It was so great to see her take charge, cut off toxic family members and start to heal. I loved seeing Liam come into her life and show her how she deserved to be loved and be that source of sunshine for her! This is part of a series of interconnected stand-alones and I have not read any of the others, I still loved this! I will absolutely need to check out the rest of this series!
Loved this so much!!!
