Recorded as a dual narration with the broody-voiced Stephen Borne, who is a perfect Michael.

This one has:

☑️ rivalry/team-up
☑️ grumpy/sunshine
☑️ enemies/lovers

Thank you, Tantor Audio!

From the Publisher:

Lauren Layne’s latest novel about the healing power of redemption tells the story of a crush gone wickedly wrong, proving that what you want isn’t always what you need.

Growing up in New York, Michael St. Claire never expected to spend his twenties wearing cowboy boots. But that was before he learned about his real father, a total stranger with a family in Cedar Grove, Texas. Once in the Lone Star State, Michael meets Kristin Bellamy, who is exquisitely refined and everything Michael always thought he wanted in a woman. The only problem is that Kristin is dating Michael’s new half brother, Devon.

Kristin’s mouthy, curvy sister Chloe has always been in love with Devon Patterson. So when Michael offers to help Chloe break up Devon and Kristin, Chloe agrees to a deal that seems too good to be true. Before long, Chloe finally gets her man, only to make a startling discovery: She no longer wants the guy she had to fight for—she wants the one who stood by her side.

After all he and Chloe have been through, Michael swears he’s damaged goods. Can Chloe convince him that love is worth the risk?

New Release: THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER

Happy Release Day to this sassy contemporary romance “romcom”: THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER by Mellanie Szereto!

I narrated this one with J. River Pierce who is the perfect Auggie for my Petra: cute, stubborn, and a bit sweet, just like his pastry. THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER is book 3 in The Homegrown Cafe Book Club Series. You can listen to the first two books on Audible, each with a different “perfect pair” of narrators: MAKIN’ BACON and THE FARMER TAKES A HUSBAND.

 

From the Publisher:

The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

After six broken engagements, butcher Petra Lochsley wants nothing to do with men and romance. Her hobbies include throwing axes, discussing books and having raunchy conversations with her middle-aged friends, and eating the occasional Boston cream doughnut – when the flirtatious baker doesn’t insist she prostitute herself for the decadent pleasure. One game of tongue hockey is enough with the guy she used to babysit. So what if he’s hot and is a good kisser?

Baker Auggie Hofmeier didn’t mean fall in love with or accidentally marry the butcher, but his heart seems to know what it’s doing. Besides, his new wife invited him home for a wedding night and more, that is, until the conniving interference by The Candlestick Maker, the old man who owns the shop he and Pet both want to buy, threatens their happily-ever-after. What’s a knave to do?

Listen to THE BUTCHER AND THE BAKER on Audible or Amazon.
