Resumen del Editor

A Reluctant Most-Eligible Bachelor

A Reporter In Need Of A Story

A Pact More Than They Bargained For

What happens when a gang of elderly men and women at the local senior center decide to interfere in their grandkids' love life? Find out in the hilarious new series by Jenna St. James.

When Trinity Falls' most eligible bachelor, fireman Caleb Travers, strikes a bargain with reporter Katherine "Kat" O'Malley, neither one is prepared for the sparks that fly. Now if only they could convince their grandmothers - long-time rivals - to butt out of their fake relationship.

Between two black eyes, a gang shootout with real weapons, and a jealous ex-girlfriend, Katherine O'Malley sets out to prove she's badass enough to nab Trinity Falls' most eligible bachelor. Not like he's going to need much convincing...pact or no pact. But when Kat is faced with having to risk her heart and go all-in with Caleb, will she be able to take that leap of faith? Or will she decide, instead, to walk away and let her heart crash and burn?

Bachelor auction gone awry!

I listened to the audio version of this book. This was a very funny contemporary romance that involves a bunch of senior citizens that will keep you in stitches.
The basis is a bachelor auction that kind of goes awry. Not really a fresh concept on the bachelor auction, but the deal made between Kat and Caleb gives it a bit of a new twist. She is supposed to "purchase" him to limit his discomfort of the whole thing in exchange for his willing cooperation in giving her an interview. Hmmm.
My favorite characters were actually their grandmothers. They were a riot!
The narration by Jeannette Smith wouldn't rank up there with my favorite, but the narration was good.
I was given a complimentary copy of this audiobook. All thoughts are my own.

The Fireman and the Reporter

I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet romance with a little suspense. It all begins when a reporter for a struggling women's paper is assigned to interview the man who's been voted most eligible bachelor just prior to a charity bachelor auction. Meanwhile, our heroine's grandma and her Seniors Club friends are up to all sorts of meddling and trouble making. The characters are engaging, outspoken and lovable and the story takes enough unexpected twists and turns to keep a reader entertained.
Blazing Trouble was a lot of fun.

Small town, meddling grandmas, romance

This was an delightful, enjoyable story of a small town firefighter, a reporter, meddling grandmas who also get into trouble (reminiscent of Grandma Mazur in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series) and a bachelor auction gone awry. Nice storyline and build with good characters. I find the characters engaging and lovable. Narration was good but not great for me. The narrator did a good job in making character voices distinct so it was easy to follow (a big plus). Personally, I had trouble with the voice of the main female character--I just didn't care for it and it was a little irritating but not enough for me to not listen. Overall, enjoyable diversion and story and I would recommend to others and look at reading/listening to other works by author. I received a copy of the audiobook for free at my request and am leaving this review voluntarily.

An Interview with a Firefighter...a hot hunky one!

A cute romance story that is packed full of humor to entertain and delight you! I can't wait to hear what happens in the next book to these characters as trouble is sure to follow as well as much, much more humor!

Great Story & Narration🎧 Sweet & Delightful🎧

This book is an enjoyable delight, it is my first Jenna St. James and it will not be my last. She is a gifted author, I enjoyed her writing style, the storylines she created are interesting and original, they captivated my attention from start to end. The characters are likable, easy to relate to and connect with. Katherine “Kat” O’Malley moved back to Trinity Falls to be close to her Grandmother Mimi Stiles. Kat is a journalist and works with her friend Candace who is looking to increase readership for her magazine. Coming up with a plan Kat is going to going to cover a charity auction for the the town’s most eligible bachelor, Fireman Caleb Travers. She meets him and they come up with a plan so she gets the inside scoop. I thought these two were great together and for each other though neither one was looking for a relationship. And then there is those meddling seniors, I loved their over the top dramatics and the hilarious, laugh out loud situations they get themselves into. This story is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment, with plenty of drama, humor, some heartfelt and emotional moments and a wonderful romance.

I listened to the Audible edition, Jeannette Smith is a fabulous narrator and voice artist. She brings the characters to life, giving each their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and who is who. She does an awesome job portraying the characters, grasping each persona and playing the role with perfection. She presents the dialogue naturally, nails the humor and lands it with ease. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧

Fun romance!!

I always love a good pretend-turned-true romance! This story was full of witty banter, fun outings, and even a jealous ex! I particularly enjoyed the nosy grandparents, as well! Great start to this fun, cozy series!
