About this listen
An angsty single-parent romance
Lucie
From the moment I first saw Caleb, I knew he belonged to me. And I knew I’d have to save him—because how else does the girl nobody wants win over the boy beloved by all?
Nothing about his life or mine has gone to plan. He’s isolated and miserable. I’ve got a vindictive ex, two young kids, and more problems than I can count.
But what hasn’t changed is this: It still feels like he’s mine. And it sure looks like he’s in need of saving.
Caleb
My life is a prison sentence. I came to the lake to serve it alone...but Lucie’s throwing a wrench in my plans.
Lucie—the little kid shut away each summer in the house next door. Now she’s grown—and God, did she ever grow up—and I can’t seem to escape her.
Everywhere I look, she’s there. Reminding me of all the things I used to want, used to dream about.... And making me want every last one of them again.

Story
Aiden Stone is a six-foot-two former Marine with a permanent scowl, dark hair, and dreamy blue eyes. He’s the oldest of the Stone brothers, and his “by the book” family has battled mine for control of our small town for generations. The last thing I should do is sleep with him. Or nearly run him down with my truck. Especially since he's sort-of my new boss.

It was supposed to be the best day of my life. But the second I got up, things started to fall apart. The kitchen just caught on fire. Flowers were from a funeral. My bride-to-be just had an allergic reaction, leaving by ambulance. Oh, and my ex-girlfriend just walked into the church. They say you have to see the signs when they are right in front of you. Maybe she was just mine to have.

Keeley: Last January, I drunk-married my nemesis—hot, oversized geek Graham Tate. With no memory of how it came about, there was only one solution: run off before he woke up and pretend it didn't happen. It would have worked perfectly if I hadn't wound up pregnant. Graham is the opposite of everything I want in a man—practical, disciplined, frugal—but living with him until the baby arrives has me wondering if, perhaps, I've been wanting the wrong things all along.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

He’s the last person I want to work for - except he has a face I can’t look away from, and the longer we’re together, the harder he is to hate.

Story
Zack Morgan is the king of the ice and the bedroom, but nothing prepares him for the mystery girl who shows up everywhere he does - frat parties, his favorite bar, and finally his front door with an offer he can't refuse. The only rule in her boyfriend bargain: no falling in love. But after one (um, two) smoking-hot hookups, he's done with pretending and vows to make their fake relationship real. Too bad she can't trust a player with a reputation for breaking hearts.

Story
There once was a girl with fireflies in her eyes and music in her soul. Remember her... she's important. She's the reason I panic-bought the little brick house on Maple Street, the one I lived next door to for eight magical years. Now that I'm back digging up floorboards and lost journals, I can't stop thinking about the two people who grew up here. You see, that girl was my best friend, and this house was once hers. She also had a big brother who was my everything before circumstances turned us into nothing more than memories.

Story
Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis. If he had just stayed away from Montana, I might have erased the memory of his striking blue eyes and rugged smile forever. Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Story
When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

Story
The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. 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.

Story
Aurelia Whitlock is an ex-stepsister I forgot long ago. Until she shows up as a design intern at my fashion company. And that's the easy part. The part where she heats my blood, drawing me away from my grumpy, miserable side is another. She has no business being here. The more I learn about how she got this job, the more perilous things become for me and my company. I can't trust her. I can't fire her. And I can't claim her full lips with mine.

Audiobook review - Narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Robert Hatchet
4 stars for story
5 stars for performance
This series brings all the angst! I absolutely loved the realism in this story. The relationship in this one didn't fall into place instantly and we get to see real life problems and hang ups that allowed a real connection to the story. I did feel so bad for Lucie as she's been through a lot of hardship in her life and still she has to really fight for her happiness and what she feels she deserves. Caleb also has suffered loss and doesn't trust easily when it comes to relationships or families. When Lucie moves in next door as a single mom to twins, his days of denial are over and he has to face some hard truths.
Samantha Brentmoor is at the top of my list for female narrators! I always feel so much emotion from her performance and this one is no different. I don't remember having listened to Robert Hatchet previously but I'm so glad I finally did. He also portrayed Caleb's character in a way that had me really sympathizing with him.
One of the better series I've read/listened to.
One of my favorite series of the year

AUDIO REVIEW:
Robert Hachett and Samantha Brentmoor did an outstanding job in this audio narration!!! I’ve only listened to Robert Hatchett a few times but I love the sound of his voice and he fit Caleb’s personality perfectly. Then there is Samantha Brentmoor who an outstanding job as Lucie! She transforms her voice so well to fit characters.

Our heroine Lucie is going through a really challenging divorce, and she's trying to start anew by moving back with her twins to her family's old lake house, putting her right next door to her childhood crush. But turns out he's also her new boss...AND has changed considerably. Caleb is no longer the boy who saved her from drowning, the dreamy heart throb she loved from afar. He's hardened into a mercurial, brooding, and at times out of touch jerk. But a jerk whose cracks start to show quickly as he meets her kids...and soon finds himself falling for his sunshiney new employee and neighbor. But both of them have some MAJOR baggage to work through, so while the connection between them is tense, a future together is complicated at best. Caleb is still married to his estranged MIA wife, Lucie is going through a divorce. Both are recovering from painfully toxic relationships that have done a number on their hearts and minds, and both have heavy responsibilities. Caleb needs to save his business, Lucie needs to care for her children. And neither of them are in a place to save themselves.
LUCIE! OH MY HEART. What a character!! I love her so hard. Elizabeth does a beautiful job of pouring her heart on the page. I felt so keenly how she desperately wants to MATTER to someone, her loneliness, how she was so hungry to just BELONG somewhere, to feel like someplace and someone was hers. Gah, it was so heartbreaking, so REAL, and so relatable. She’s a heroine you can understand, and one you can root for. And there are parts of her that I think all readers can resonate with- she just feels really authentic. She somehow is optimistic and exuberant even though she’s in a horrible situation that she’s literally barely surviving. So many people have hurt her, but she’s still so full of love and light. And the beautiful and selfless ways she chose and prioritized her kids. I loved how unapologetically Elizabeth allows her to prioritize her motherhood- as that being a huge part of her identity, how her selflessness and willingness to sacrifice things she wants for her kids- it’s core to who she is, and she’s unflinching in changing that. She feels like not just a beautiful articulation of finding strength and empowerment and fulfillment from within but she also just feels like a beautiful tribute to the unconditional love of motherhood. Which is a really powerful theme in this story- the power, the weight, the depth of being a parent and how that impacts your being. Lucie is one of the best heroines I've read- truly, I'm not even a mother but I connected with her on a visceral level. She's bleeding her heart on these pages.
And Caleb- he was so much more than I thought he would be, and certainly different than the glimpses we saw in the prior story. I loved this delicious man, even when he was a big grump jerk. I actually loved that you didn’t take him TOO far. Even early on we see that he’s still kind and GOOD- he’s broken and has unaddressed pain that has festered into some ornery grumpiness, but he’s not over the top. Elizabeth shows us contrasts- so he doesn’t feel like one of those “grumpy alpha” caricatures but actually just a man struggling. TRULY struggling. And it also makes Lucie’s faith in him, and her interest, palatable (and believable) because we see glimmers of his true self. Caleb is broken in a way that is so compelling. He's a man who is really insecure, even if he won’t admit it, and he’s really afraid. I loved that contrast to Lucie, a heroine who is openly insecure and struggling, but who has done something SO brave- she’s made major life changes and faced her demons and is stepping out on her own. That juxtaposition in the characterization was really was a beautiful catalyst to Caleb finding the courage to love…and to stop being so scared of failing everyone around him. To accept that his failure was his lack of courageous connection and him seeing that as a threat to begin with.
The chemistry- HOLY MOLY. I loved these two together, they have such a great energy between them. Certainly a physical attraction that sizzles off the page (loved the spicy moments!), but their chemistry has depth. Not just because of their history, but because of how they connect more deeply over parts of their own journeys. They both have a loneliness to them, they both feel they’ve let people down and are grappling if they’ve made the right life decisions (and how those decisions impacted their children), both are missing something. And it’s so clear in how you develop them that the missing piece is each other. Their banter is also so fun and sexy- and I appreciated how the sexy, the funny, and the more emotional moments all worked together to give them a believable attraction and pull to each other. The chemistry effortlessly evolves once they were over their push-pull, and seeing them lean into their attraction felt like an important SHIFT in how they interacted, but it also felt natural. The evolution to tension is chef's kiss!
Their story is not neat, or clean, or easy. As a child of a mother who had to start her life over after a nasty divorce, I felt parts of this story in my BONES. There is a decided vulnerability to the prose- perhaps it's the authors own soul we're seeing into, or perhaps Lucie and Caleb are just so richly created that we feel them so keenly. But feel their story you do. There are a lot of real elements to their journey. And HEALING is hard. But the romance is in how they learn to fight for themselves again, and they also learn to fight for each other. I love how much this is about Lucie saving herself…and saving Caleb too. Just like she wanted. How they rescue each other to overcome the insecurities and fears that have kept them BOTH from fighting for each other in the end. Lucie fights for what she deserves, and refuses to settle- and she earns her fairy tale. And Caleb realizes the only way he can fail others is by not being brave enough to risk loving them. Gah the themes are beautiful and so universally resonant and just really heartfelt. The story has all sorts of emotive punch, but at its core it’s really sweet and tender, making me all goo-y for them all.
This is loosely connected to the first book in the series, but Caleb was more periphery in the first story so don't expect too much cross over. I can not WAIT for the story that's going to come next, and for more of the emotionally rich, heartwrenching, and poignant story telling from the always impactful Elizabeth O'Roark.
The audio performances were stellar- especially Samantha as Lucie. This story owns my heart and the narrators brought it to life effortlessly- made me fall even more in love with and even more connected to these characters.

There were a lot of layers to these characters and this story Lucie and Caleb have a history. Lucie having stayed in the home next door when they were younger has moved back and still has hidden feelings for Caleb who is now her boss. What a way to make the story have more angst than them immediately butting heads. Lucie with her twins has left a messy marriage and Caleb is going through his own issues with relationships and other deep trauma. I enjoyed the banter and angst do wish we saw a bit more of their interactions when they were younger. But overall enjoyed the story and Samantha and Robert’s excellent performances!
I was provided an audio copy of The Summer I Saved You and this is my honest review.

I was a little shy about going into this one, as I just couldn’t imagine it could live up to TSWF, but I should really learn to take more chances sooner, because this book was amazing!!
There was angst, there was heartbreak, tender moments between Caleb and the kids, and so much longing and loving. There were times where I could feel my heart actually breaking and a time or two that I nearly cried. But it was all worth for their beautiful HEA. 🥰
There are some tough topics and some scenes that might bother some, so I recommend doing your research before picking this up. But I do highly, HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who loves angsty single mom small town romances. 💛🧡
Samantha and Robert did such an incredible job of narrating this, of becoming their characters. I’m familiar with Samantha and love her work, but Robert was new to me narrator. I loved what he did with Caleb and it’s safe to say that this won’t be the last audiobook I listen to where he’s concerned. ☺️
