Loved this story & how it was told! Revealing the past bit by bit kept it interesting & suspenseful. You knew something happened 15 years ago, but what? The reveal was very emotional, & the voice acting was superb by Connor Crais & Samantha Brentmoor. You gotta ❤️ Craismoor! or should I say CraveMore?! So much talent right there! Also, this is the 2nd Marni Mann book in a row that Connor has narrated & she's 2 for 2 with great stories for me. Gonna be checking out her past books for sure! This one kept me so interested that I finished in a single session! And, the funny parts w/ Rhett's niece, Daisy, were the perfect counterbalance to the heavier stuff. 5 ☆ all the way around!

Kristy Marie's sarcastic, smarta$$, witty banter and LOL humor are great here! It's perfectly balanced with emotion and steam as Halle and Vance are both scarred and try to help heal each other. I absolutely love these two plus the secondary characters, especially Remington. The epilogue is a total hoot! The narration by Heather Firth and Connor Crais was perfection! They totally nailed the portrayal of these characters -- the funny banter and the tug at your heartstrings moments. I also loved the originality of the story. It was great all the way around! I bought all of the other audios in this series because I enjoyed this one so much! Loved it!

Sawyer and Olivia - review for books 1 through 3

I'm not really a fan of books with cliffhangers, but this one was good. I think it could have been condensed a bit, but the characters did have a lot to work through. I was glad to see that more of the chapters were from Sawyer's pov as the book went along. I bought the books because of Connor Crais, so it was nice to hear more of him as things progressed. These were my first books by author Piper Lawson. Narration was very good. I enjoy Connor and Vanessa very much and their acting is always top tier. (I gave the same star ratings to books 1 and 2, but no separate written reviews.)

Connor Crais' chapter was the best part for me.

Decent story/action in some places. Liked the childhood pact part. Beyond that opening chapter about when they were kids, I never found Talia likeable. Lex was at least somewhat interesting. Again, story was too long. Honestly, I bought this because Connor Crais was listed as a narrator. (I figured he would voice Lex's brother/cousin, Dane, but no. Regardless, Connor's chapter was my favorite.) Also, I like Stella Hunter, and think she did the best she could with the Talia character. I haven't heard Lee Samuel's before, but his performance was kind of stiff/unemotional.
I would breakdown the narration as follows:
Connor -- 5/5 stars; Stella 4/5 stars; Lee 3/5 stars for Performance of 4/5 stars.

This was my first book by Jaine Diamond. I bought/listened because of the narrators-- Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais. (They are 2 of my favs.) The story started out fine, but by midway, was dragging. The action was good, but too much time spent rehashing the same stuff. Lots of miscommunication between characters. Needed a better edit. By the end, I was pretty much hanging around to hear Connor Crais and see what happened with his character, Dane, as I found him more likeable. Narrators were great. Connor and Sam B. always bring their A-game. I did find the Lex character interesting, and listened to his book next.

Loved this zany, LOL funny tale about Dane & Amanda who pretend to be engaged to try to end their families' long-standing feud. The setting is their hometown -- Christmas-themed Tinsel, MI -- during the dog days of summer. A week's worth of wild & wacky wedding planning, close proximity cabin co-habitation, & facing down feuding family leave them with more than "just friends" feelings. It was very easy to listen to and totally enjoyable! Connor Crais & CJ Bloom did a great job with the narration playing lots of family members & townsfolk.The 2nd epilogue with Connor as lazy bones, fur-baby, Chilli, was one of my favorite parts.

I really enjoyed this last book and the trilogy as a whole. This and book 1 are my favs, but I do recommend reading/listening to the all 3 books in order. Krysta tries to move on following her actions in Vol. 2, but is having recurring nightmares. Thanksgiving at her brother's house is very eventful & serves as the catalyst to reunite her & Kasper. Danger lurks as members of the Fear Inc. family are taken.. There's action & suspense while the team locates & rescues them. Completed the audiobook in one session. Kept me interested and entertained. Love the epilogues, the multiple HEAs, the banter, and the ball-busting! So fun! The multi-cast duet narration was excellent again!

This is a super short, very sweet, story about 30 yr old Tate Gallo who owns a tattoo shop in Chicago and 43 yr old Wylder, a single dad of 2 girls who are growing up way too quickly for his liking, who owns a shop restoring old cars. This is their meet cute and 1st day together with his daughters. This has everything we love about Chelle Bliss' stories of a big, often interfering (in a good way), but oh so loving family. The narration by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais is perfect as always. My very favorite Chelle stories are the ones they perform! Can't wait for more from this new series!

Got this audio because of the narrator (Connor Crais), I love hockey, and the meet cute from the blurb sounded funny. I have only listened to one other audio by author Melanie Harlow (also narrated by Connor Crais), and none from the Cherry Tree Harbor series, but I really enjoyed this. The main characters were very likeable, and valued famly/family traditions. There's not a ton of hockey, but I really liked this sweet, easy to listen to, and fun story with some spice and humor. Kirsten Leigh co-narrated with Connor and I enjoyed both of their performances very much. (☆Any time I get to hear Connor do accents is a bonus, and there are several scenes where he plays the French-Canadian teammate of Joe. Loved that!)
