Resumen del Editor

Taylor Tate has one last chance to turn things around. As the owner of Charm City Events, she needs her upcoming week of Valentine's Day events to go off without a hitch. She's painstakingly planned every detail down to the last red heart decoration, but what Taylor doesn't plan on is the less than enthusiastic bar manager she's paired with stumbling into her life at the worst possible time, making things more difficult every step of the way.

Carson Smith is getting by fine. She loves her job as the bar manager at Second Chances, a dive bar staple of the Baltimore landscape, and she doesn't need anything or anyone disrupting the delicate balance she's created. Especially for a stupid Valentine's gimmick to take advantage of desperate singles. When the owner of the bar forces her to work with an event planning company to drum up business, she has no choice but to begrudgingly agree. It's either play along or see the bar close, and she can't let that happen.

It's only a week, but time passes differently when there's love in the air and too much on the line, and both women soon find their lives, and hearts, intertwined as they work together to make the week a success.

Contains mature themes.

Great Listen!!

I was, at first, a little leary of this book because of the synopsis, but I'm glad I listened to it anyway! This story is so POSSIBLE that I found myself tearing up at the authenticity and heartfelt emotions that Lori brings to the performance. But in order for her to do that, there must first be the words to read. Monica McCallan did a wonderful job with this short story, and I consider 5 1/2 hours short compared with some I've listened to. Spend the credit or the money and get this book! You won't be disappointed!

Charmingly Done 🥰

Let me begin by saying that I could listen to Lori Prince read the ingredients on the contents of a can of beans and give it a 5 star rating.
I only wish she would narrate longer romances.
As for Charm City it is a very Charming “little romance” built on the concept that a frozen heart can be thawed by the right person.
While this is not the classic “A Christmas Carol”, it is worthy of 5 Valentines Cards”.
If you have just broken up with someone, this is the perfect audio-card to listen to, to get you back on the romance horse to happiness.

I was right to get this book trusting the narrator

I don’t know if narrators choose the book they narrate, but nevertheless there are few narrators and Lori Prince amongst them that if they narrate I get it… and I was right to do that. This was a good book with well written MC and narration was excellent….

Sweet and Lovely Storyline and Performance

Loved it! The narrator has a great voice. loved the side characters (friends). Yes to romcom

Fantastic story, caused real tears

I can’t believe it. The story actually caused me to cry 😢. The story was great, enough problems and inventive solutions to keep it interesting. Lori Prince as usual was superb.

Cute and simple.

This story was good but it left me wanting more detail. I feel that the basic storyline was great but I would have love to have had more detail and depth.

As always very sweet

This author is very predictable, however each story is so sweet you can’t stop listening… ever!!! I loved this story.

Cute but..

It was a cute story but my biggest thought after listening to it was counseling for both parties please in the epilogue. I felt that the love was more one sided and that Carson had some serious abandonment issues and Taylor also had serious issues she needed professional help for.

Cute

It was cute, a little predictable and it felt like it dragged a bit, but overall nice and romantic

Fun once, not one I’ll revisit

This was fun enough for a quick listen, but the reader was really bad at male voices and it was pretty distracting… I ended up increasing the speed to make it less noticeable.
