Story
Abby Carpenter is in a tailspin knowing she is about to spend 10 days in the company of her ex-girlfriend - who is now engaged to her brother - for a family holiday gathering in Red River, New Mexico. The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. Abby’s solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right?

Story
When Emma witnesses a burglary in the apartment opposite, she has every intention of doing the right thing: report it and move on. However, things don’t go quite as planned. Emma is stunned to discover the apartment belongs to Lauren, her first crush who she hasn't seen in 14 years. The return of her old amour reawakens a latent desire. Can Emma reignite the passions of her past, or will the reason Lauren left, all those years ago, tear them apart once again?

Solid Story
- By Kindle Customer on 06-01-22
Summary
Flora Buchanan doesn’t think a relationship is an option. A variety of mental health issues - anxiety, OCD, and PTSD - make it seem impossible to find love. Instead, she seeks joy in the one thing that is safe and ordered: her sweet shop in Glasgow.
Mac Sharkey is ready to start a new life after being released from jail. As part of the infamous Sharkey family, she took care of business on the edge of the law for the once criminal, and now legitimate, empire. After being sentenced to jail time her cousin should have shared, she’s promised a quiet life running her dream barber shop.
Flora and Mac are bound together by a night that changed their lives two years before and never thought they’d ever see each other again. But when Mac opens up her barber shop right next to Flora’s sweet shop, their connection comes roaring back.

Don’t we have Scottish narrators?
It was excruciating listening to the English version of a Glasgow accent. It really took away from the story. My last 2 books were set in Ireland with an Irish narrator, great, and Yorkshire with guess what a Yorkshire narrator.

Development
I appreciate that the book tried to touch on peoples disabilities but the book and characters were one dimensional. The whole book is just one character with OCD and one is a Savior. I had a hard time finishing the book because it became corny. I love JF books and I hope she writes another one soon but this one wasn’t one of my favorites.

Not our favorite Jenny Frame ending
We really enjoyed the narrator and representation, especially around mental health. We struggled a bit with the ending, however. I'm glad the characters got to where they were in the end but the last two chapters were a bit quick? We enjoyed the steamy parts :)

Beautiful romance
I felt this book was specifically written to me. As an autistic and socially anxious queer person myself, I found Flora very relatable, and her struggles were depicted with surprising accuracy. Best of all, the story isn't only about autism, it's just a part of Flora's existence.
The story is a gentle, beautiful romance. The narrator does an excellent job. I do wish the book was a bit longer, as I feel the Sharkie dynasty, and Flora and Mac's stories could have been explored more thoroughly, but I went for this book knowing its length, and for what it was, and how it was described, it was the perfect package.

I Definitely Stan Frame's Work
I think I've read or listened to everything Jenny Frame has published. The Butch-Femme characters she brings to life give me the kinda books I love to read. I wait eagerly for every book and hope to the goddess that each book has a sequel. Sweet Suprise was a great read. It's a slow-burn romance with the right amount of action and intrigue. I hope there will be a sequel. In short, another awesome book.

An amazing story
Listening to stories with characters like Flora give me a feeling I am not alone.
It is so hopeful that more writers will bring on the true challenges of people like Flora in to stories that show love in such a way that brought me to tears.
This story is about love and loving someone who Is challenged.
The strong bond of family the strong relationship between two people and the understanding of how a person can be loved who feels so different.
I am different and I have read other authors books that bring out this kind of love story. It helps me in so many ways to feel less different.
I so recommend this book to everyone.
Thank to the Author Jenny Frame and the narrator Amy Putt it is a perfect love story in my opinion.
