Small town second chance romance
Good story but for some reason it wasn’t holding my attention very well, maybe it was just me and not the story idk, I’m not even sure why. I liked the characters and the narration was good. I do recommend this book. Not a lot of angst, no cliffhanger, mild love scenes.

Sweet Story
Mad About Matt by Theresa Paolo is a sweet second chance and love story. The author wrote endearing characters with realistic emotions. I loved Matt's grandparents and thought they were the best. Matt and Shay were so lucky to get their second chance at finding happiness in this book. Krista Nicely did a good job performing the book. Thank you Audiobook Obsession for this review copy -- I really enjoyed it!

Such a Sweet Story
I thought this was adorable. A nice second chance romance, with a great supporting cast. The grandparents were the absolute best. There were times I couldn't tell who was speaking, so there left some confusion. Overall, I really like this!

Good second chance story and narration
This was a sweet, low angst second chance romance. Matt is the sheriff and Shay is a baker who had, years ago, left Matt to go chase her dreams in NYC. She’s back in the small town as a baker. Can Matt forgive her so that they can get their HEA? It’s a sweet book that kept my attention because most of the people, both the couple and the supporting cast, were so sweet and fun to follow. (Matt's grandparents were hilarious. Scenes with them and other supporting cast from the small town really added to the story.) Beyond the romance, there was a bit of intrigue- who is breaking into her bakery? ( I have to be honest that I was a bit aggravated with Shay's behavior in this instance.)
Krista Nicely was a good narrator- there were moments when I wasn't sure who she was playing because there wasn't a lot of variation in her voice but overall, she did a good job with the emotion and pacing. I enjoyed her narration.

Mad About Matt
This is a sweet romance! Shay finds herself back in Red Maple Falls. A place she feels at home and like she can be herself away from her controlling mother. Her new bakery is doing great, until she has a break in. The sheriff sent to investigate is none other than her ex Matt. As time passes she and Matt rekindle their relationship only to have her mom monster interfere. Krista Nicely does a nice job on the narration. Thanks audiobook addiction for the recommendation.

Super sweet
This is a super quick, sweet read! Really enjoyed the journey in reading this book.
Red Maple Falls is an adorable town with amazing people who all seem to know each other. Shay is back in the town where she spent all her summers and fell in love for the first time. She's opened a bakery and some trouble has caused her to come back in close contact with her former love.
I really enjoyed both Matt and Shay. I felt like they did fit together really well. They had their sweet times and their rough times but they both were able to work through. I loved seeing their journey together. I also liked that there were other characters and other things in their lives besides just each other. I can't wait to read more of this series!
Krista Nicely did a good job with this audiobook. Mostly her performance was really good. But I couldn't really tell much of a difference between the voices of the different characters. I had to go back and listen to a couple of segments to make sure that I knew what was going on. But overall, I enjoyed her performance.

Get Mad About Matt to find out if he and Shay have a future, or are the things in their past too much to overcome? The pacing was good in the book. There was humor and angst. Krista Nicely Is a new narrator for me, and I enjoyed her. There are two more books in in this series, and I will be listening, because I want to revisit Red Maple Falls!

Fun Listen
This was the first book I've read/listened to by Theresa Paolo. I really enjoyed the read/listen. The author wrote well with great characters. I'm completely invested in them. The twist at the very end was GREAT!! This had a sweet HEA. I hope to see Matt and Shay again in future books.
Krista Nicely is a wonderful narrator. Her voice is smooth and well suited for both female/male parts. I completely enjoyed her performance.

Feel Good Small Town Romance
I really enjoyed this second chance at love story. It was the narrator that I had a hard time in the beginning enjoying but we ended up finding a middle ground and pushing though to find the hidden gem underneath. This story deserves someone to love it.

Sweet second chance with a pinch of suspense
Shay and Matt had a love connection when they were teens, but didn't end things on the best of terms; Matt especially felt hurt. This book takes place about 17 years later. Shay has moved to Red Maple Falls and opened a bakery; Matt is the police chief in town, so he's on the job when Shay's security alarm goes off at her bakery. The two try to fight their attraction, but the connection is still there after all these years and won't be denied. Matt is worried that Shay is in danger, but she's being stubborn and keeping secrets. Shay is a bit too prickly at times, but it's good that she's finally standing up for herself and realizing that she can't let other people rule her life. I liked that she's tough, but she was being an idiot about her safety. Matt's a sweetheart; he was a little tough on Shay about their past, but I loved how he was there for her. I don't really get why it took so long for them to talk about the past and get back together; Shay has been back for a couple years (if I remembered correctly), so the connection would've felt deeper if they couldn't control themselves sooner; especially in a small town. The connection is still really sweet and they fit well together. Entertaining story with the troubles at the bakery and with Shay's mother; the mother leaves a lot to be desired. I'm looking forward to checking out the next books in the series; Matt has a lot of siblings, so it'll be fun to see each of them find their loves.
I listened to the story on Audible. The narrator did a solid job; she didn't quite fit the story for me, but an enjoyable listen.

Great Story & Narration🎧 Matt💘Shay! Sweet Romance!
This is a sweet second chance romance set in a small town. This is my first book by Theresa Paolo and it will not be my last. I enjoyed her writing style and the storylines and characters she created, which I found to be realistic and relatable. The characters were complex and well developed and I adored the two leads, Matt Hayes and Shay Michaels . Two people from different worlds met when they were younger and fell in love. Matt grew up in Red Maple Falls, a small town in New Hampshire, Shay used to spend her summers there when she fell in love with Matt, but it was not meant to be she returned back home to NYC and they did not keep in touch. Seventeen years later Shay flees her city life returns to the place she fell in love with when she was younger, Red Maple Falls, and opens a bakery, something she dreamed of doing. Matt is now the local sheriff and when her store gets broken into he responds and they meet again. This story is well plotted, there is never a dull moment, there is drama, a bit of angst, mystery, plenty of emotions all leading to a wonderful second chance romance. Theresa Paolo, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am looking forward to checking out more of your work.
I listened to the Audible edition, Krista Nicely does a great job narrating and performing the voices for all the characters. She brings these characters and their story to life from the pages to your ears. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧
