An accident in the kitchen finds Robin laid up and Finley must take over the planning of a wedding for a nightmare bride. It doesn't help that sitting beside the spoiled woman is a tempting and tasty morsel of a man.

Misunderstandings, overheard secrets, and a major surprise from Finley's past will keep these two on their toes as they prepare for the upcoming wedding.

Fun and exciting

Heartfelt

Remarkable book that lodges itself in your heart!! Emotional story that can relate to in some aspects. Love conquers all.

Beautiful Story

I really enjoyed taking this journey with Roan and Finley. Their story is sweet and full of passion.
Finley is a wonderful character. She’s beautiful inside and out. Finley is also very intelligent. Unfortunately, she suffered abuse for many years and has no idea how incredible she is.
Roan is a widower and father of one amazing son. He lost the only woman he ever loved years ago. Roan doesn’t believe he could ever love another as
much as he loved his late wife.
When the two meet the connection is instantaneous. Their road had a few bumps but together they help each other move forward and heal.
I absolutely loved how their story interconnects with Chris and Robin’s.
I’m excited to find out what happens next.

Sweet story

Finley comes to work for Robin at Heart of the Family Catering. Finley meets widower Roan and they both are attracted to each other. Too bad Finley thinks he is a lowlife cheating on his fiancé. This is just the beginning of misunderstandings between them.
Great characters and storyline.

Love and Friendship

Audiobook Review…I usually listen to books that I have read before so that I am familiar with the story. I have not read Roses & Champagne so this was a new-to-me story. Lisa Beacom did an amazing job of telling Stacy Eaton’s story and making it come alive as I listened.
eBook Review…Love, friendships, new opportunities are some of the amazing storylines woven together to make one amazing book. Abuse, death, and cheating are also found within the story but they are written in with care and respect. The difficult topics make good things even more wonderful.

Finley is a tough character. She is all woman but she doesn’t need a man. She does not even want a man but she has one. She has Roan, whether she wants him or not. Roan, he is all man. Tough, sexy, protective, and alpha. When life gets complicated for Finley, Roan steps in to keep her safe and of course falls in love with her. I loved this. They both needed someone in their lives who would respect and love them for who they were. Both Finely and Roan had pasts that were holding them back and they needed to be able to get past that to find their HEA. Together they showed that anything was possible and that all they needed was a good person in their life to make their world better.

The widower & the fair maiden

This story ‘stars’ Finley...Robin Landry’s friend and employee. Finley is on the run from her abusive ex but seems to have finally found friends in the small town. She enjoys working at Robin’s catering company. When Robin has an unfortunate accident, Finley has to take over planning a wedding for a bridezilla. After a misconception is cleared up, she finds herself falling for the brother of the groom. Roan Waterman, widower, single dad & ex-model, is helping his twin’s fiancée plan their wedding when he meets Finley. Sparks fly and the pair embark on a tentative relationship. Can they survive the shadows from Finley’s past? Will Roan allow himself to love again or will the pain of losing his wife be a stumbling block for an HEA? Great story, great characters and great narration. I am really enjoying this series.

Book 2 - Heart of the Family

I really loved the characters in this read / listen. The narration was a little stilted at times but was easy to follow and I enjoyed the tone change when "being" different characters. I loved the continuation from book 1 and although this is book 2 it can be read as a stand alone but I'm glad I'm reading / listening to these in order. I also loved the twists and turns the story line took - I hated that Finley had such low self esteem but she also came across as a real character with real flaws so I really appreciated that as well and hot twins - yes please! This story had laugh our loud moments as well as gasps of surprise, some heat and heart warming moments all blended in a wonderful flowing storyline!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

great story

I really enjoyed this story. Finley and Roan had such great chemistry. I loved the way he defended her from her crazy ex. I can't wait to read more about the mysterious key and how it fits in. I also really enjoyed what happened with Rye and Autumn. (Although this is the second book in the series, you can still enjoy this story out of order)

More “Heart of the Family” Awesomeness~Fabulous🎧📚🎧

Stacy Eaton delivers another awesome story in her “Heart of the Family” series and I loved every word and every minute of it. The story swept me right in, grabbing my attention and holding it captive straight to the end. Robin Cove, the new owner of Heart of the Family Catering un Cricklewood Cove, be sure to read the first book in the series “Roses & Champagne” for more about Robin and Chris. She hired Finley Parker to work for her, hired her on the spot, she saw something in her that reminded her of herself. Finley was happy to leave her old job, her cheating ex and is happy to have a fresh start. She is a bit over qualified for the work but is happy to work with people. She needs to build up her confidence to further her career and Robin sustains and injury she asks Finley to step up and fill in for her and she is great at it. Roan Waterman, a widower, father of teenage son, former model and currently works as a security expert. He actually did a background check on Finley, as a favor to Chris, Robin’s husband. His brother, Rye is marrying his long time girl friend, Autumn, she is hell on wheels when it comes to making decisions about her wedding, including what food to have catered. Finley sat with Roan and Autumn to talk over the menu, she soon realized what a PITA Autumn was. She also realized the chemistry she shared with Roan. But thinking he was the groom to be he was a complete no go. Roan lost his wife to cancer six years ago, he was the love of his life and no other made him feel, that is until Finley. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and includes drama, some angst, a touch of mystery & suspense, plenty of heartfelt emotions and the start of an amazing romance. Woohoo, loved the ending too, WTG Rye Stacy Eaton, thank you for another awesome story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

Lisa Beacom is a terrific narrator and voice artist. She continues to bring these characters and their story to life, her portrayal of them is perfection, sounding exactly as I picture them. She sets the perfect tone for the story, captures the characters emotions, their passion and attitude, which can be heard in her performance. She is an entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧
