Resumen del Editor

Gabe D'Angelo has it all. Designer clothes, luxury cars, a cool confidence most would envy, and a never-ending supply of money - and men. When he arrived in Haven's Cove to be there for his best friend, he never imagined he'd end up extending his stay indefinitely. Small town living isn't so bad after all, and the views are magnificent - especially the view of a sexy, rugged blond. But when that mysterious, brooding man refuses all Gabe's advances, he is forced to take a step back and truly look at the person he's become.

Nate Black moved from Boston to Haven's Cove for his family. He's missed small town living and the simple, tranquil life that comes with it. What he doesn't bargain for is the pushy, spoiled playboy who's set his eyes on Nate as his next conquest. Knowing this man has the potential to crack the foundation of his quiet life, Nate will do everything he can to protect his safe, closed-off world.

Is one man worth loving? Is the other worth the sacrifice? Or is the love they're searching for not just hard to get but completely out of reach?

Contains mature themes.

Oh my Gucci indeed🤪😘😆👍

I love it, love it so much, love the side characters especially the best friends and sassy mom of one of the MC, love the cute as a button princess lily pop with her love for everything pink and Dolphin, and just love the story, but unfortunately I have to deduct one star off bcuz of the screechy voice of Gab who just came off Soo bad in some parts of the story, Sean Crisden should tone down Gab drama queen voice a bit bcuz it gets me off the story halfway through the chapters and I almost stop listening, fortunately the last few chapters save the story a bit for me bcuz Gab voice gets less screeching and more serious, so I guess it’s all ends well with a happy ending😘👍

Very good story, tho both story & narration leave something to be desired

First of all, the narration bothered me in both this audiobook and the one before it. It takes place in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, tho the narrator doesn’t portray accents appropriate to the locations. Why is it that most British narrators are so good at regional accents and most American narrators seem unable or unwilling to do the same? I also just never really liked the voice the narrator chose for Gabe. It reminded me a bit of Paul Lynde, who was a Midwesterner, and not as sexy or likable as I think he deserved. And the voice he used for Nate sounded like a western cowboy’s. I liked the voice he used for Jonah, which was totally different from anyone else’s voice. On the other hand, some of the other characters were hard to recognize by voice, as they sounded almost the same – especially those of Owen and Brody (which made it hard for me to tell them apart in the book before this). Most of the other characters sounded pretty much the same, and none of them had New England accents.

Sweet and Spicy

3.5 to 4 Blue Roses
3.5 to 4 Blue Flames

Narrator Sean Crisden delivered a sweet love conquers all romance. His performances are always impeccably good. The cadence and deep rumble his spicy voice is as tangy as honey. Gabe D'Angelo, aka stalker in my mind, is nothing else but persistent. He injects himself into Nat's life very strategically, and then removed himself from direct attack by stalking his family members. He then enters by the back door and Nate just couldn't resist him when he saw his little girl reacts to him.

It's a good book for a rainy day, a little predictable, but still very enjoyable.

I recommend this audiobook as part of the series.

Happy Listening

Great book. Nice love story

I really enjoyed this book, we need a follow up . What happened after the wedding!! If we all ask for a second book we may get it. I could not stop hearing it. Enjoy it

Almost as good as the first

Outstanding narration!!! Great story. Feel as though a little more should be in each scene, but that’s me. Another reviewer would commend how the story line moves forward quickly. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Enjoyable

I like the book as well as the first on ,just wailing on the next book in the series to come out,

Gabe!!!!

I love this story. Gabe was my guy. I enjoyed him tremendously. The Narrator really brought this character to life for me. perfect dialect for his snarky demeanor. what a delightful, heartwarming series. Almost forgot, steamy as hell too!!!

Love, Love, Love this story.

Love comes with sacrifices and rewards that charms our hearts. This story has it all, including friendships, families both good and bad. Love will find a way.

Gay Hallmark

Story soooo saccharine, one of lead voices who is supposed to be Mr. Hot, is anything but. He’s treble and snarky. I could only get through half the story.

Well…I wanted to give it more stars, but…

In general, the storyline was of interest to me. Contextually it intrigued me especially because it was plausible and sounded different from other narratives.

Though I generally appreciate Crisden’s work, his voice for Gabe REALLY annoyed me…too nasal and felt creepy to me. Because of my interest in the storyline, I committed to getting through the entire book. What made it further challenging was Quinn’s overboard choice of the daughter’s mispronounced words. Initially cute…overly used.

Obviously personal preferences…because of this, I do think others may enjoy the story.
