Joe and Andi nailed it

have you ever read a book that hit all your buttons? this one hit mine. peep those tropes & tell me there is a book more caroline out there?

the tension was chef’s kiss and caleb was just so dang grumpy. 🥵 i binged this audio in a day because I couldn’t stop!

the narration by joe arden and andi arndt was absolutely PERFECTION. I’ve always been a big fan of And I’d but this dual narration of the two of them was just *chef’s kiss*

Small Town Single Dad Romance

I really enjoyed Andi Arnts performance in this! I'm still getting used to the authors writing style, but overall I liked this book.

Grumpy, broken boy billionaire + wild, fierce girl

4.5⭐️ 3.5🌶️ 5🎧

Narrators: Andi Arndt + Joe Arden
Narration type: Dual
Standard length: 10:47
Listening speed: 1.7x

Tropes: small town, single dad, billionaire, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, nanny

📖 I really enjoy a grumpy billionaire, add a bad boy vibe with a sprinkle of broken and I’m done for. Caleb Greyson was just delicious. Paisley was recovering from a bad relationship and figuring out how to stand on her own again, but she was wild, fierce, and independent and wouldn’t let anyone push her around, not even a hot billionaire that she really wanted a job from. Those two pushed all of each others buttons and it was really fun! Enemies to lovers always burns hot and their chemistry was fire. Paisley was absolutely adorable with Evelyn, bonding with her immediately and advocating for her always. Caleb struggled to see any good in himself, and for a long time only focused on one goal. Paisley, being the strong and pushy little spitfire she is, kept the faith in him when he didn’t have it in himself, even when his past came back to haunt them. The suspense element and the way she unraveled the details from the past was very well done! My only tiny minor complaint, if you can even call it that, is that Evelyn is constantly called “the child” throughout the book and I kept feeling like I was watching the Mandalorian.

🎧 Andi Arndt is my absolute favorite female narrator! I love the tone of her voice and her speech patterns always feel incredibly natural. Additionally, one thing I absolutely love about her narration is that I can always tell when someone is talking versus an internal monologue, she slightly changes the pitch of her voice. She was also a great fit for Paisley! She brought the fierceness and passion that our FMC always shows. And Joe Arden voiced Caleb. He was perfect for our broody, broken billionaire. Joe has a voice I could listen to for days on end, and frankly I probably have! In this particular audio he showed nice range of emotion and I thought he did an excellent job voicing little Evelyn too! I know that it be tough for some of the male narrators to hit those young childlike voices, but he nailed it.

.. ALWAYS A FIVE STAR PLEASURE AMY

The brilliant thing about an A.L.Jackson slow burning romance is that you’re instantly drawn into them with their damaged characters pulling at your heartstrings as their emotions flare and you wonder what pain-filled backstories will slowly be revealed. And with tattooed grumpy Caleb, his tragedy, guilt and torment is strong and Paisley soon gets caught up in his dark friction and storm. The electrifying chemistry is dense and deliciously sizzles and sparks between them.. but it’s totally unwanted and unsuccessfully ignored. And I couldn’t wait for it to detonate and go boom. It’s a very enjoyable five star enemies-to-lovers small town romance however sweet five year old Evelyn absolutely stole my heart.. an innocent desperately needing hugs and love but gets caught up in the dangerous web she can’t escape.

Worth a credit? Absolutely.. it’s got it all. There’s happy and sweet.. friction, anticipation and fabulous flames.. grumbles and steady relationship growth. With emotional triumph, torment and toxic thoughts.. mystery, tension, gripping danger and sinister scenes. And let’s not forget the lust, passion, romance and sexy times.. and a wonderful harmony with a very happy ending too. Last but not least, Andi and Joe did an awesome job with the characters, emotions, layers, depth, tingles, tension and breathtaking love and sacrifice that oozed from the riveting chapters this oh so talented author wove for Caleb, Paisley and Evelyn’s story. ❤️

This book gutted me…

I mean, I was fugly-cry gutted!! Paisley Dae’s introduction to Caleb Greyson was a memorable moment…except not in a good way. Then when she turns up for her new job, guess who is her new boss? Yep, Caleb. Barbs and sparks fly and in the middle is an adorable 5yo girl who has experienced a devastating loss. Caleb is hiding secrets, ones that can prove to be deadly to those he loves. Will Paisley and Caleb get their HEA? Great story with fantastic narration! Highly recommend!

Caleb and Paisley

I enjoyed this book and the audible. The narrators were great. I really liked Paisley, but I loved Evelyn. Kids make or break a book, and she made it. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series when it comes out!

This story was really good! I do wish the enemies to lovers aspect would have been drawn out longer. But it was really cute and fun to read!

Oh my Favorite Day

Caleb and Paisley are magical. I loved that Paisley continued to believe in Caleb no matter how much he tried pushing her away. Caleb's over-protectiveness was heartwrenching knowing he was hurting himself. And Evelyn, this little girl won my heart. I was absolutely in love with this book. I thought Redemption Hills was my favorite, well this is coming in as a very close second. Joe Arden and Andi Arndt did and excedllent job portraying these characters. it hit my heart string. You can never go wrong with this author.

Small Town Romantic Suspense

Love Me Today is the first book in a new series, and I loved it so much! I cannot wait for the next book in the series. This is a small town, single parent, nanny romance. Paisley gets into an accident at the beginning fo the book, and things end up with her arguing with the guy. She leaves the accident to get to her new job as a horse trainer. When she gets there she realizes the guy she got into the accident with is her new boss. He’s the guardian of his niece, and he has hired Paisley to teach his niece how to ride a horse. She eventually ends up becoming Evelyn’s nanny as well!

I loved this book! Caleb is super protective and caring and I loved getting to see this from such a brooding hero! Paisley’s relationship with Evelyn was so sweet. I loved getting to see Evelyn open up to Paisley and do so well with her lessons as well. She had been through a lot, so it was sweet to see her happy with a good relationship with Paisley. The chemistry between Paisley and Caleb was so stinking good, and I loved the romantic suspense elements. I listened to this book as an audiobook, and didn’t want to put my headphones away. I was so into it and couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.
