Story
I thought I had my life all worked out. My wedding had been meticulously planned. All I had to do was walk down the aisle and get married to the man I'd been engaged to for over a year. Pretty easy and uncomplicated, right? Unfortunately, all of my well laid plans go up in smoke when my fiancé leaves me at the church alone because he found a woman who was better suited for his snobby world of wealth and privilege. After realizing what kind of man my intended groom really was, it was hard not to be more relieved that I'd dodged a bullet than I was heartbroken.

Story
Wolfe Conrad is in hiding, and he’s come to Huckleberry Bay to heal. A career-ending accident on the track nearly took his life, and now he seeks refuge to try and build a new one. The quaint town’s slow pace rattles the man who’s first love is fast cars—and then there’s the beautiful innkeeper, who rattles him in different ways. Falling in love with Luna definitely isn’t part of Wolfe’s plan. Local legends that tell of unrequited love and despair? Unbelievable. But stranger things have happened, like two strangers falling in love....

Nick loves his post as the princess’s security detail. Unfortunately, the bullet that ripped through his shoulder put a stop to pretty much everything in his life for a while, and his bosses have plans for him that don’t include sitting at headquarters with the other guards, drinking beer in his off-hours. They’ve assigned him a medical professional and banished him to the lake house for rehab. Which wouldn’t be so bad, but his new babysitter isn’t at all what he expected. She’s sin and temptation wrapped in the perfect package and infuriates him like no other.

Returning to her beloved home of Salem after a trip away, Lucy Finch can’t shake the feeling of anxiety that suddenly plagues her. Nor can she shrug off her third eye’s urging that she has a mission she must undertake—a secret she must uncover. As a green witch, Lucy has always felt strongest and the most at home in the forest, surrounded by nature. But when a disturbing dream wakes her and sends her fleeing into the woods, she isn’t prepared for what she finds. She didn’t expect to cross paths with a sexy-as-sin man straight out of a movie scene.

Story
Hermosa Beach seems to be the place for throwing together unlikely opposites. My rooster Rowdy and his new crush, Pixy the goat. Me and the obnoxiously cocky cowboy from Texas.... But unlike Rowdy and Pixy, there’s no way I’m going to fall for David Strickland. Nope. Not gonna happen. I could never be with a man so completely opposed to everything I believe...no matter how hot he is.
Summary
The Surprise is a second-chance rock-star romance from New York Times best-selling author Kristen Proby, set in her Single in Seattle series!
Brax Adler is a complete liar. He’s also the love of my life. So when he ends up in my emergency room after a car accident, I can’t resist helping him—but only long enough to get him healed. And then I’m out of there.
He’s broken my heart before.
I’m not giving him the chance to do it again.
But the more time I spend with him, the more it feels like coming home again. He swears he’s changed and that we can start fresh. And it feels so good to be in his arms.
I long to believe him.
But what if this is just another of his lies and I end up with a broken heart anyway? Is it worth the risk? Or should I walk away?

Great easy listen.
I have always enjoyed Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle series and now the second generation of these families in the Single in Seattle series. You don't have to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one, but you absolutely should! This was a cute second chance, rockstar romance that comes with plenty of spice, not overly angsty, and a brief but satisfying check in with the rest of the cousins from previous books.
Andi Arndt and Robert Hatchet were fantastic and brought this short but sweet novella the charm and sensuality that these characters deserved. This is a perfect Saturday afternoon listen.

Too brief, sweet second chance Montgomery romance
Nurse Josie Montgomery, one of Bree and Caleb’s twin girls, reconciles with her ex musician boyfriend Brax, after she he is involved in an accident. The story is hot and sweet but much too brief. Once again there is not enough character development and the story ends with a nice commentary by Caleb but as an end of a chapter- very unfinished. Also this release was out of order- Josie’s story occurs before Iceland and her twin Maddie’s-not after. Both stories are so brief that the should have been released in one book with 2 parts. Maybe there with be a third story with their engagements and weddings which will also flesh out the characters more. Also it was disappointing that there wasn’t more scenes with the extended family. The narration was good but because of the brevity I recommend this as a good sale book for fans but not worth a full credit.
