Someday You Learn

Carrington Cove, Book 4

De: Harlow James

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Emma Wilder

“I’m here to see my fiancé. I believe you know Parker, Dad…”

That sentence seems innocent enough in the right setting. But the woman’s father? Yeah, he happens to be my boss. The first time I met Cashlynn O’Neil, she thought she was going to die before the plane we were on ever left the ground. So I did what any gentleman would do—I comforted her, kept her distracted, and then later that night, she ended up back in my hotel room to thank me.

But then a year later she waltzed in the Carrington Cove Animal Hospital and told her father we were engaged.

And that would have been harmless, except the last time I was engaged it left me scarred beyond repair, vowing never to entertain the idea of love again.

I can’t fall for my boss’s daughter.

I can’t keep lying to myself about how I feel either.

But is it possible that someday you learn that it’s not the wrong person that will make you question what you want in life, but it’s the right one?

And is Cashlynn the right woman for me?

Loved this story!

I absolutely loved this story! Their meet cute was perfect and I loved seeing them find each other again. I also really enjoyed watching them go from a fake engagement to a real relationship.

The audiobook was so good! I loved listening to the narrators bring the story to life.

Thank you for the ARC copy, all opinions are my own.

Parker finally gets his HEA!!!

Ok when I say I devoured this!!!! I mean, I started it at work and finished it that same night. The audio was AMAZING. The narrators are two of my faves, Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder, and they had me hooked right from the start! Harlow has created this wonderful world in Carrington Cove and I fall more in love with her characters and this small town with each read!

Parker Sheppard has clearly been through the wringer. We don’t know the details, but based on the hints from previous books, a past relationship (someone he was engaged to apparently) left him all sorts of messed up. I was so ready to get down to the nitty and gritty and find out what’s been holding Parker back all this time. Harlow really crafts these characters that you can’t help but root for and Parker was no different. He’s seen his brothers and best friend find love, but he’s adamant that he’s too messed up to ever go down that route again. Famous last words, am I right?

Enter Cashlynn O’Neill. These two have a fun meet cute where they don’t really exchange names or many real details, but they end up having one wild night on a trip and going their separate ways. Even though Parker wasn’t looking for more, he hasn’t been able to get the woman off his mind for the last year. When she walks into his office and tells her father (oh yeah, that’s his boss, btw) that Parker is her fiancé, he’s more confused than ever.

Turns out Cashlynn needs the cover to keep her father off her back while she moves back to Carrington Cove and makes a big life change. Parker, ever the noble, caring man he is, plays along to help her. Of course, these two still have some insane chemistry just waiting to burst free at a moment’s notice, so playing house is harder on both of them than they expected.

I loved how the ladies took Cashlynn in and supported her in the many ways they did, even coming up with the shenanigans to drive Parker crazy. I loved how Parker’s brothers and Grady were supportive and could draw on their own mistakes and experiences with their women to help Parker along with his troubles too. When Parker made the decision to go all in and try to get his stuff sorted so he could be better for Cashlynn, it was so so sweet. My heart broke for him when we finally found out the whole story of his past, but I loved that he took the steps needed to finally process what happened.

Once again, another A++++ book in this series from Harlow. I truly can’t get enough of this series and these characters. I’m so excited for the next one!!

Thank you to Harlow and her team!

Might be my favorite💚

Carrington Cove Book 4

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder

One thing I will never get tired of is finding the Friends references in Harlow’s books. What’s even better is reading the book and then scrolling social media and a clip of said reference shows up.

Now on to Parker and Cashlynn. A plane ride, a one night stand, a surprise fake engagement and learning to love again.

Cashlynn & Parker

Holy Smokes!! Cashlynn & Parker are beyond hysterical together…she literally drives him crazy. She pushed every single one of his buttons…but that's exactly what he needed. They are the perfect blend of intoxicating chemistry, swoon, sass, witty banter, laughs, feels, sparks, lust and SO. MUCH. STEAM. This fake relationship that slow burned into a swoony real relationship is EVERYTHING!!! Seriously y'all need this book in your lives. Emma Wilder & Teddy Hamilton are remarkable bringing the characters to life. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles giving us all of the emotions with the perfect inflections. The narrators are able to bring the emotions, frustration, excitement, etc. that just reading a book can’t do. I HIGHLY recommend that you read the book and if you like audiobooks, add this one to your wishlist!! You won’t be disappointed.

Irresistible temptation.

Small town romance and big city personality breeds irresistible temptation. James puts emotions on notice. From sweet and spicy to frustratingly funny, Parker and Cashlynn are an inferno of heart. Someday You Learn is a refreshing, life lesson that breaks the soul wide open. Hamilton and Wilder are stunning. Their chemistry breathes life into characters that leap off the page.

Loved the story and the characters.

Best narration and story. Loved the spice. Soooo good and will recommend to others. The author is such a good story teller and witty funny banner.

So much deeper than just a second-chance romance!

I loved Parker and Cashlynn's story so much, and the couple on the cover are perfect for how I envisioned these characters in my mind! On the surface, this is a second-chance, fake engagement romance between two people who had a one-night stand. But once you get deeper into the story, it is a beautiful tale of grief and recovery.

Parker has sworn off relationships but allowed himself to indulge in a one-night stand with a beautiful stranger he met on an airplane. They had an incredible connection, and he was flabbergasted when she bolted out of his hotel room afterward. Flash forward to a year later, and Parker is rendered speechless when Cashlynn shows up at the veterinary practice where he works, and it turns out that she his boss' daughter, and she claims they are engaged!

Parker is so stunted after the failure of his previous engagement, and he truly goes through so much growth before the end of this book. Meeting Cashlynn and falling in love with her (despite his best efforts not to!) changes him and makes him realize that he is more than the trauma of his past relationship and the guilt he's been carrying around.

Although Parker is hesitant at first (because everyone who knows him knows he has sworn off relationships), he agrees to the "engagement." Cashlynn is looking to start over her life in Carrington Cove, and with her dad on the brink of retirement, she agrees to nudge her dad in handing over the practice to Parker. As it turns out, Cashlynn is exactly what the buttoned-up Parker needs in his life. He's so regimented, and she crashes into his space and turns things upside down. Literally and figuratively. (I loved the unplugging of the appliances to get under his skin!)

These two characters balance each other so well, and I thought that Harlow James really wrote a lovely tale in Someday You Learn. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite narrators, and I loved listening to him as Parker. He brought such depth to his performance, perfectly executing the nuances of the character's vulnerability in tender moments as well as the growly lust in the spicier scenes. Likewise, Emma Wilder was vivid in the way she portrayed Cashlynn's strength and determination as well as her frustration when it comes to her relationship with her father.

I loved how close the siblings are in this book. I jumped into this series for the first time with book 4. I wish I had gotten to know Parker in those previous books, because I feel like I really would have appreciated seeing him find love even more! I am most definitely interested in going back to read the other books in this series, and I am intrigued for Hazel's book after that teaser at the end!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Like a warm hug

I love returning to a small town romance series because it feels like the warmest hug!

Add in fake dating and a fake fiancé and I. Am. SOLD.

I loved the instant connection between Ashlynn and Parker. I loved how they were clearly opposites and how her chatter and nerves on the plane were everything he hated, until he experienced it with her.

I loved watching their fire burn bright only for her to up and leave with no way of keeping in touch…until she shows up at Parker’s job, claiming to be his fiancée in front of his boss…who just so happens to be her father. WHOMP.

But more than loving them together, I loved watching how they supported one another and came into their own. How they determined their own dreams and continued to chase them. How they learned what they wanted most in life and refused to let others stand in their way.

This was such a great read, and a fantastic audiobook! Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder embodied Parker and Cashlynn PERFECTLY. I’m still not over it!

Who doesn;t love a man who takes care of animals

This story was a fun one. I loved Seeing old characters re appear. The whole fake relationship part is always a fun one. The narrators were casted perfectly. I loved Everything about this book.

Fabulous!!!

Book 4 in the Carrington Cove series truly delivers! The connection between Parker and Cashlynn is undeniable from the very start. I loved watching Parker finally figure things out—his growth was so satisfying to see. The way he supported Cashlynn was heartwarming, and in return, her ability to help him open up and love again was just beautiful. These two made such a perfect match. Another fantastic addition to an already amazing series! 💜💙
