Lookin' for Trouble

Honky Tonk Angels, Book 6

De: Ciana Stone

Narrado por: J. Scott Bennett

Just when you thought things were starting to simmer down in Cotton Creek, something new crops up. And this time the attention is on the Sweet gals. Hannah may have found her dream guy in Cooper Quinlan, and she's damned determined to plan the perfect wedding - no matter who she drives crazy. Everything would be perfect if she could just ignore the little bursts of excitement she gets every time she sees Bryson Weathers.

Cody isn't being much help. She doesn't give a hoot in hell about fancy dresses and weddings. What she does care about is the clandestine relationship she has with Jaxon Riggs. He's made no bones about the fact that he isn't looking for forever. She is, but if it's not in the cards, then so be it. Riggs trips her switch and she's not about to pass up one moment with him, nor is she about to let anything prevent her from being with him.

That resolve was holding pretty firm until an old friend, Belinda, shows up with a three-year-old daughter, Bernice, in tow. Belinda is sick. If she doesn't get a kidney transplant she'll die. And she wants Cody to commit to being Bernice's godmother, to raise her if Belinda dies.

It's a tall order, but Cody falls in love with the little girl and is ready to say yes. Then all hell breaks loose when Belinda says that Bernice's father is right there in Cotton Creek. If it's true, it's going to cause a whole lot of trouble.

Come share the joys and woes, the danger and the fun as we prove once more that the old saying "nothing ever happens in Cotton Creek" needs to be changed to, "Looking for trouble? You've come to the right place."

Tissue Alert!

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audio-book by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Jumpin’ Jehosephat! Where to start? The Sweet girls have got it going on in this one and the book is definitely aptly titled.

Hannah Sweet has dreamed about and planned her wedding from the time she was a little girl, and she’s found the man who can afford, and is willing to give it to her, Cooper Quinlan. The only problem is, whenever she is around Bryson Weathers, she gets little shivers running up and down her spine.

Cody Sweet is resigned to the fact that she will probably be the town spinster and will never have a family of her own. Her goal is to enjoy her life to the fullest which, right now, means having a fling with Jaxon Riggs. Jaxon is quite a bit older than Cody and has made it clear that he is not interested in anything serious, or even sticking around Cotton Creek. Cody is OK with that, but deep down has hopes of changing his mind.

Life is good, until Belinda, an old high school friend of Cody’s shows up in Cotton Creek with a tale of woe and a three year old daughter in tow, looking for Cody’s help. From that point on chaos reigns in Cotton Creek and none of their lives will ever be the same again.

This was my favorite book of this series, and J. Scott Bennett’s narration is partially responsible for that. He has the uncanny ability to become the characters he’s reading, which is truly a gift. The story itself starts off with a first chapter that will take your breath away and have you swooning. It never slows down from that first chapter on, and will trigger every emotion you have. Cliché but true, I laughed, I held my breath, I cried, and swooned, not necessarily in that order. I felt every one of those emotions over and over throughout the book. Grab some tissues and read this book!

Cute little Story

I received this audio book free for an honest review. This was a cute story with not a lot of story substance. There was some suspense toward the end that built up throughout, but it seemed to fall a little flat and happened pretty fast at the end. The story of Hannah and Cooper was not really what this book was about. They were secondary to Cody and Riggs' story. I haven't listened to any of the other books in this series, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I had no preconceived idea before I started listening. I have heard the narrator before in other books, and, in my opinion, is okay. I have enough other series that I need to finish that I'm not sure I will come back to this one. Maybe later.

The End?......Say it Ain't So!! :`(

Last in the series!! I'm so SAD!!! (They really need to make a boo-boo lip emoji...) The drama in Cotton Creek has ratcheted up, and we witness some of our old friends fall in and out of love, as well as experience trouble, unexpected responsibilities and danger. We also get to meet some new friends who I hope we will see more of in the near future. (Spin-off? please?) There are steady ups and plunging downs on this ride, and Joe is there to lend advice and try to guide the heartbreak and chaos into peace and contentment. Someone else said, "Have tissues handy." I concur.

J. Scott Bennett is the voice of this totally awesome series, and his performances have been instrumental in making it such an excellent listening experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in the series and SO hope we will be treated to more stories about these sexy new neighbors (a cameo here and there wouldn't go amiss). Can't recommend this enough!

I was voluntarily provided this audiobook from the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an UNBIASED review, and that's just what this is.

Lookin’ For Trouble

This book is the best in this series yet! I love absolutely everything about it and the people in it just steal your heart. A perfect book with amazing narration.

Great series

I loved the way Ciana told this story over several years. Then she brought all the characters together in and out the series. I will definitely read more books by this author.

Mr. Bennett did a wonderful job and has a great voice. I found his voice very relaxing and his style of telling the story. Great team.
