Since You've Bean Gone

A Second Chance Romance

De: Lainey Davis

Narrado por: Erin Mallon, Alastair Haynesbridge

Waking up hungover in the sheep pen is the least of my problems.

The worst? A foreclosure notice for my family farm.

Scratch that. The actual worst is the woman delivering the news: my ex, who broke my heart and left me behind for the big city.

I’ve spent a decade trying to forget Lia Thorne, and now she’s the only one who can help my family dig ourselves out from our crushing debt and even stronger egos.

I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. And if I go along with Lia’s new-fangled scheme, maybe I can win back more than my finances …

Just as long as my meddling grandma and her spoiled sheep don’t interfere.

Since You’ve Bean Gone kicks off the Farm 2 Forking crop of laugh out loud romantic comedies set on Bedd Fellows Farm.

Dig into this swoony, unputdownable second-chance romance by USA Today bestselling author Lainey Davis and buckle up for an un-baa-lievable ride.

Cute second chance romance. This was the first book that has really brought light to a disease in a story. Normally they are just mentioned and then forgotten about. I had so much sympathy for Lia. But enjoyed the story and narration. The sheep and her name has me saying it the same way in the audio. 🤣 I will definitely listen to more from this author and series.

🐐Baabara 🐐 was the star of the show 😂🙌🏼

Fun start to a new series with great authors

Since You've Bean Gone is an utter delight, and exactly what you expect from a Lainey Davis romcom. It's witty, it's fun, but it also addresses real life issues with heart and compassion.

Since You've Bean Gone is is the first book in the multi-author Farm 2 Forking series about the Bedd family, an upstate NY farming family trying to save the family farm. It's also a heartfelt second chance romance as Ethan Bedd has to work with Lia, his lost love, to save the farm. Ethan and Lia were high school sweethearts, and Ethan thought Lia was his future, until she left him behind. She had her reasons, and those reasons still exist, but Ethan makes sure the adult Lia knows that they're not insurmountable.

The audio, narrated by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge, is top-notch. Erin and Alastair make sure we experience every giggle, every sigh, every moment of heartbreak and moment of glee.

This is a stand-alone romance, but how the Bedd family saves the farm is interwoven through the 5 book series. It's well-worth the read/listen!

A Punny & Sweet Second Chance!

Oh my goodness, ewe have got to read Since You’ve Bean Gone by Lainey Davis! This heartfelt, cheeky, pun-filled romcom was such a fun start to the Farm 2 Forking series! Lia Thorne ghosted her high school boyfriend, Ethan Bedd when she left for college without a word. Now she’s back to help him save the family farm. Can she mend fences and melt his hardened heart too? I love the Bedd family and Baabara was hilarious! Once they lay their cards on the table, Lia and Ethan are an unstoppable team. The way he jumps into his second chance to care for her and she breaks down his grump barricade melted my heart like butter!

Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge were fabewelous in the dual narration of the Since You’ve Bean Gone audiobook! It was wonderful to revisit Bedd Farm with Erin and Alastair bringing Fork Lick’s quirky characters to life. Erin’s portrayal of Lia was endearing. Alastair brought the grumpy farmer Ethan Bedd off the page perfectly. These two were utterly delightful and I cannot wait to continue with the series!

Forking great start to this series!

Since You've Bean Gone is book #1 in the Farm 2 Forking series. Lainey Davis always brings us stories about folks with real lives and struggles that we can relate with but still have that romantic fantasy of an HEA. Ethan is struggling to save his family farm that has landed in a huge amount of mortgage debt and about to be foreclosed on. The lender sends none other than his enemy Lia Thorne, Ethan's ex-girlfriend from high school, to help get the farm back on its feet. There are a lot of unanswered questions from their past, secrets that have yet to be revealed, oh...and a possible fiancé that are mudding the waters. But the chemistry between these two is still sparking. This is a funny, heartwarming, totally steamy second chance/small-town romance that will keep you listening from beginning to end. Forking good fun and an excellent start to this fantastic series!

The duet narration was spectacular. Alastair Haynesbridge is one narrator that I could listen to all day long and never be disappointed. He definitely gave us the grumpy Ethan we were expecting. Erin Mallon has been a mainstay in my audio library with her versatility in bringing the funny and sexy sides of her characters. These two were just a dynamic duo. 5 forking stars!!
