Story4.5 out of 5 stars 124
When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.

I always look forward to reading-listening to stories by Adriana. This was my first time introduced to Rachel and Oliver. The story came alive from the first page until the end.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 55
Amanda Taylor isn’t a fan of Christmas, but as the owner of a local soap shop, ignoring the holiday season isn’t an option. To forget the pain of Christmases past, Amanda focuses on making the season bright for her customers at the Shelter Springs Holiday Giving Market. But when her beloved grandmother, Birdie, starts dating the dashing new resident of the Shelter Inn retirement community, Amanda smells trouble. Fortunately, Rafe Arredondo, the grandson of Birdie’s charming suitor, is equally dubious of the match.

I always enjoy reading and/or listening to stories by RaeAnne. The characters come alive and I see the movie play out from the beginning until the end. I love when we see more of each of the side characters. Family is always a focus of the main story. Birdie and Paolo were my favorite couple. I loved to see the journey of Amanda and Rafe.
Nice way to spend my day listening to Vanessa. I prefer to listen to the stories as I can spend the day doing something else while enjoying the story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 192
I touched her confectionary creation, and she told me off. Slapping my hands and cursing in her own unique fashion. No one talked to me that way. I liked it. I liked her cake even more. So, I took her to Italy to bake for me. I should have asked her first, but I had a feeling she'd say no. But I brought her cat, so that should count for something.

This was on my TBR for a little while. Happy I listened to this one today. They are a trio of perfection! Love the sweet banter and a nice twist on the story. Maxine and John are two of my top favorite narrators. They bring the story and characters to life from the first page. They connect to their characters!

I love everything that Pippa writes. She chooses the perfect narrators to bring them to life. Love that audiobook fans can buy the complete set. Love seeing all of the side characters doing cameos along the way. I visualize like a movie and they have wonderful banter and pranks.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 151
You’d think nearly dying trying to get out of a too-tight gown in a dressing room and being saved by a strong, competent man was a good thing. Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex. And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction. The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you. And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…

I enjoyed sitting. back and listening to Tim and Virginia perform as Duncan and Addie. I always look forward to listening to a story in the Cooper Valley Thruster series. Current on all of her books. Addie as the batting coach was perfect. Cameos by some of my favorite characters was a wonderful surprise.

Ava Howell seemed to have it all. She moved away from Emerald Creek, Idaho, married the love of her life and published a bestselling memoir. But she never expected that her husband would feel so betrayed by a secret from her past—the truth of what happened to her and her sister all those years ago—that he’d walk away. Now Ava is back home and trying to move on with the only person who can truly understand…

I have been a fan of RaeAnne from almost the beginning of her writing career. I love how she brings the story to life. We all go along the journey of friendships with the side characters. Love how she describes everything as I am a visual reader-listener. I had a few credits so purchased and began to listen yesterday. The story flows beautifully and you can see that she loves writing. I feel like I have known these characters forever and hope to see more of their lives in a future story. Vanessa does an impressive performance of everyone.

I don’t have time for flings. Love is out of the question. As a single mom and small-town doctor, my plate is more than full. But when Drake Kershaw, an experienced physician with a mysterious past, comes into my life, I can't resist his charm. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met before. Drake is smart, charming, and has a heart of gold. But he’s also grumpy and hesitant to let anyone close. Like the rest of his wealthy family, he’s full of secrets. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dangerous. I should stay away, but how can I when he works in my practice?

I enjoyed listening to this sweet story today. Grace and Patrick are two of my favorite narrators. Was fun to see the journey begin for Drake and Wren. Think I am current on all of Claudia's stories. Nice to see Finn have a cameo. This story sets up a new series where we will learn more about Drake and his family.

There are a million reasons why I shouldn’t date Fletcher Huxley. He’s a growly-faced, stubborn-streaked, international rugby legend trying to revive his flailing career in the US after being canned by his team overseas. While he might have the good kind of thunder thighs, intriguing tattoos, and a booty of steel, he also holds the top position on my very short nemesis list thanks to what happened the first time we met.

I love that on page one until the end the stories always come to life with joy and silly banter. Love how pets are incorporated into the story. Also, his mustache is a separate side character along the way. Their journey was an incredible ride.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 757
I’m falling for the father of the baby I’m carrying. The problem is: it’s not my baby. And the broody widower is not looking for a long-term partner. As a surrogate, the deal was that I’d only be in England long enough to give birth. At first, the man seemed as pretentious as his name: Sigmund Benedictus. He and I butted heads. Sig challenged my intentions, accused me of just wanting to do this for the money. Gradually, he learned to trust me.

The Bride’s Runaway Billionaire is a deliciously juicy and utterly swoony romcom featuring a jaded optimist who’s had enough of the limelight, a happy-go-lucky celebrity whose world has been upside down since that fling after his divorce, the most adorable two-year-old on the planet, and a chicken with an attitude. While this book stands alone, you won’t go wrong to listen to The Worst Wedding Date, The Gossip and the Grump, and The Last Eligible Billionaire first.

I love this series. Let's be honest everything Pippa writes is pure magic. Always fun to discover more about the eccentric. side characters along the way. I love how Connor and Savannah connected to Jonas and Emma. They bring the story alive from the first page. You can easily see that they love to perform. Looking forward to the next story in the series. Bash is such a sweetie along with Marshmallow and Yolko Ono who have amazing cameos.
