Resumen del Editor

Perrin is through with men. After dumping her cheating fiancé, she started a new career, and her life is finally on an upswing - until Gage comes to town.

Gage King, of King Construction, represents everything the small town of Jasper Falls is not. His big Texan upbringing disguises his secrets well. At first glance, he’s all luxury and a lavish lifestyle, but to a girl like Perrin Harris, he’s one big eye roll.

When Gage tries to buy the land Perrin has her heart set on, she puts a plan into action. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants, but will Gage - and Gage wants her.

cute but I wanted more!

this was such a cute 2 hour novella but I wanted more! Ava Erickson voices all the characters in this audio about a small town girl and a big city guy!
Perrin has sworn off men after having her heart broken by a cheating ex fiancé. Gage is a big city big box company owner looking to expand. instant attraction and connection between the two but of course there has to be drama to force them apart before bringing them back together .
I'm not a fan of the drama part but overall I love the theme, the couple and how Lydia made me want more off these characters and this town!

New book boyfriend?

First things first, Gage is a 10/10. He's got all the traits I seek in a good MMC and his one flaw is not sharing something he should have. It didn't change my viewpoint on him at all because I've seen that situation happen in real life and can only imagine how much stress it causes, let alone having to bring it up to someone new that you have an interest in. Some of the stuff he says to Perrin *fans self* He's a keeper.

This story is well done and though it's quick because it's a novella it hits all the points. Lydia Michaels always writes stories that keep me interested and leaving me wanting more of her characters when they're done and this one was no different!

Ava Erickson did a wonderful job narrating this one. She has the type of voice that makes you want to listen, and paired with this well written story I was sucked in from the very first chapter. Without a doubt worth the listen.

Such a great read!

I have listened to a few of Lydia’s audibles and they are so enjoyable.

Samantha joins her friend/more than friend as he visits his family on school break. The chaos of their thick Irish family overwhelmed her, until she met his older brother Colin. She never knew she could feel what she felt when she was around him.

Colin was conflicted when he locked eyes with Samantha, knowing he was making his vow to God to become a priest and anything they start would end in sadness.

This was a beautiful love story that showed the reality of this real scenario and I felt so engrossed with the story. Such a good audio!

Small town romance with a billionaire twist.

The story is short and sweet. It’s easy to connect with the characters. The narrator adds layers to the story that I really enjoyed. I loved her different voices for everyone. A story with heart. Well worth a listen.

I’m not sure he’s actually a billionaire he’s definitely rich rich.

Ava Erickson was perfection!

Perrin was talking to Luke when a stranger entered the bar. She and her sister Maggie had purchased O'Malley's last year from Maggie's husband Ryan's family and it was finally back in the family...well, kind of...Maggie's deceased husband was Nash O'Malley and the bar had been lost in a poker game causing a feud which in a small town made things very uncomfortable.

Perrin had finally talked Maggie in to an expansion and Perrin's dream of a restaurant was closer to becoming a dream. She just needed the bank to accept her offer on the foreclosed property behind the bar. Jasper Falls has gotten a growth spurt after the new mayor's revitalization program and she wanted to be part of the towns growth.

Perrin had vowed off men after her fiance was caught cheating, but even she had to admit the tall man with black hair was gorgeous. You could tell he wasn't from around here since he wasn't wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and when he orders a Scotch they find out that he is Gage King owner of King's Construction Outlets and was looking to add a store in Jasper Falls.

Perrin is upset because this would prospectively hurt their town. Ryan's family owned the lumber business and hardware store and half the town would be out of a job. She is further upset when she finds out that the property he wants is where she wants her restaurant.

Love Me Nots is book three of the Jasper Falls Series and narrated by Ava Erickson. I love this continuing series about Jasper Falls and Ava Erickson does a wonderful job bringing Perrin and Gage's story to life. This story is action packed from word one and has a not so happy twist for Perrin.

Perrin had a jaded view of relationships due to her ex-fiance's betrayal and Gage has his own relationship issues. I loved this storyline and Gage's mishaps. This story may be short but it is steamy hot. Can't wait to see what Jasper Falls has in store for us next. Highly recommend!

Another Pleasant Day in Jasper Falls

This was a lovely little novella in the Jasper Falls series. In this one we have Perrin, who is the sister of Maggie from the first book I read. We get to catch up with her a year after we last see her. She is hustling in her business with her sister as they run the pub in town.

She never wants to love again and plans to stay far away from men for now. Then Gage King comes to town. He is owner of King's Construction and when he sets his eyes on the same land up for sale as Perrin wants to expand her business, they are put at odds.

However, Gage quickly makes it known, he'd rather have Perrin than any land. The only question, is if she is willing to risk her heart for him.

This was a quick little audio and it was another sweet small town romance. Low steam but full of heart. I look forward to continuing this series. Performance was wonderful and I got through it real quick.

Entertaining

Not as emotional as the first couple of books but was a good addition to the series. When Gage comes to Jasper Falls to look at property for his business, he happens on the same piece of land that Perrin wants to expand their bar which causes sparks to fly. .
Perrin has sworn off men so she dismisses Gage’s invitation to dinner, particularly when she learns he wants the same land she does. However Gage is persuasive and they quickly find themselves attracted to one another.
However Gage is still reeling from a disastrous marriage and when things come to light, miss communication abounds. Ava Erickson did a great job with her narration of this story. My only complaint would be that I wished that this book had been longer as I really liked these characters and wanted more.

Perfect series teaser

This was the perfect teaser of Jasper Falls! My first Lydia Michaels book. I loved the small town enviornment and the characters are all very likable. I hope we get to see the evolution of the bar through the series. I loved Gage and Perrins first date from hell lol everything went wrong in a hilarious fashion. Gage made the most rookie communication mistake which was super annoying especially considering he didn't have anything to lie about and he's too old to be playing dumb.

Go for it! Sweet small town romance

I enjoyed this book quite a bit! Ava Ericsson did a terrific job with the narration, and while the steam level was low, the story had so much heart and gave me all the feels. I loved Gage! This can be listened to as a stand-alone, I had no issues catching up, no complicated back stories. Go for it! I’ll be looking for more books by Lydia Michaels!

An Interesting Direction

Love Me Nots is more of a novella than a full length novel. Love Me Not uses quite a few narrative shortcuts that make the romance feels as if it is being fast forwarded. The characters are lovely and the writing is infectious, but narratively Love Me Nots does not do its characters' romance justice.
