About this listen

Sometimes you can feel like a fish out of water. Even in your own pond.

Emerson and John meet on the boardwalk as the moonlight dances off the Chesapeake Bay.

She thinks he’s gorgeous and comes down with a case of instalove. He thinks she’s a panhandler and gives her five dollars.

The embarrassment is enough to send tattoo-sleeved and turpentine-stained antiques restorer Em running for a life makeover. The only problem is she’s spent the last decade looking after everyone else in her little town, and now she’s totally forgotten how to self-care.

Adding to that garbage heap of a situation is tonight’s blind date.

Of course, it turns out to be with the man who mistook her for homeless. And, of course, he’s a clean-cut navy test pilot stationed a stone’s throw from her antiques shop. All the whiskey and chocolate in the café can’t help the awkwardness between Em and this cold, stoic modern Mr. Darcy.

Fortunately, their tiny, tight-knit community won’t let one (or two) bad nights come between a couple everyone knows is uncannily perfect for each other.

John is the golden boy, the prodigal son finally returned home to the beloved island, but she’s been there all along holding everyone together. Em and John’s chemistry creates more sparks than a jet’s afterburners, but they’re just too different. If she tries—and fails—at this relationship, she might not just lose the guy; she might lose her whole found family.

Unless she decides to trust John to help her navigate, Em might be stuck circling the runway in a loveless holding pattern.

Self pity much?

I actually didn’t finish reading this because I couldn’t get passed the female character’s constant self doubt and always putting herself down so I can’t give a complete full review (please bare that in mind). I understand flaws, and having self confidence issues but what I could get through (chapter 8)… it just seemed like it was all about self pity. I put it down because I just could stop rolling my eyes at every dig.

Not great writing

The writing is basic. The heroine is annoying. Every time she dripped with self-doubt, I wanted to punch her. The narration is patchy, and inconsistent.

Unnecessarily Wordy

Story had a lot of potential but got lost in some of the superfluous inner dialogue of the FMC. The ending was disjointed and unfulfilling romantically. Just overall disappointing.

Entertaining and Fun!

I was given an ARC and wasn't sure if I would enjoy the story. I loved it! I was so into it, I couldn't stop until the end! The characters were relatable, the storyline was humorous without being over the top. The characters had depth and the narrator was perfect for the story. I would recommend this Audiobook to all RomCom fans!

Kind of bland and more cringe than awkward.

The story was very predictable and I feel like the fmc was a good character but the writer under utilized her potential. There was some decent romantic and sexual tension and the writer make the mmc sound desirable but still just a touch vague. I feel like there was maybe one awkward moment and the rest was just the female lead being intentionally obtuse. The ending was sudden and disappointing and definitely fell flat.
