Resumen del Editor

He never bothered with hello. The shrieking hot stranger had me dizzy the instant he said we're engaged. Then he chased off the bully on our heels and dragged me back to his place for the night.

Pure insanity, right?

Wrong. You don't let pride do the talking when you're homeless, on the run, and hauling around your sick father in a truck so old it must've been on Noah's Ark. You definitely don't complain when Ridge Barnet takes charge. (In)famous heartthrob. Stinking rich. Fed up owner of one angry rooster. Eyes set to permanent storm.

Of course, it doesn't end there. My unexpected Romeo doubles down on this ridiculous "fake fiancee" rescue scheme. One blazing kiss shatters worlds. I'm swept up in a small-town fairy tale, wishing I hadn't lost my faith in wishes years ago.

He's saving my life. Hero and done. Nothing more. Prince Charmings don't really marry pumpkin farmers from Wisconsin. Give me strength. Tell me his gaze doesn't scream obsession. Save me from his oh-so-believable growls. Help me believe our little arrangement never, ever ends in "I do".

Contains mature themes.

Great listen

A little on the slow side but worth the listen. You won't be disappointed..

Narration isn’t great

I have listened to several books with Tor Thom and most have been ok. This is the first one with Heather Costa. Narrator makes of breaks an audio book. Female narrator’s voice consistently sounded like she needed to clear her throat or recorded after a night out. It was so frustrating because I like the story itself. Tor is good with southern accents but didn’t do it here considering Ridge was from Southern California and not South Carolina. Narrator should match the setting of the story. Even the romantic scenes were poorly done. Just didn’t have the feels that I look for in a good book.

Ridge and Grace

The things I loved about this story, are the characters and the supporting characters, and the story itself. Nicole always does a great job in her writing. The only thing that would have been better is the female Narrator and that is why I only gave 3 stars on performance. unfortunately Heather sounded like a frog and annoying and her male voice was not even close to Tor, and it sounded really robotic which took away from the story. Not to be insulting to Heather, it just wasn't a fit.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

The story was different and intriguing

Loved the characters and this story had me engaged. The narrators made it real and mesmerizing.

Who put Heather Costa on fast forward?

I like the written story and have read it already. I started to listen to this and it truly was awful. Heather Costa is put on fast forward until she sounds like a munchkin from Wizard of Oz, but Tor Thom is deep and slow. I tried slowing the replay to .80 and it sounds awful. Costa still sounds chipmunk like and Thom is toooo slooww. It is really too bad because I liked the written book.

wow just Wow! hot, funny and sweet!

I couldn't put it down! It is just captivating. This has all the feels! Thanks MS. Snow!

I didn't love the narration

The story was good. A bit unrealistic but we don't read romance for a dose of reality, right?
Grace and her dad are going West during a winter storm. They are running from some bad men that her dad became involved with. One of the things tracked them to a bar in the middle of nowhere in the blizzard where she was saved by a Hollywood actor who coincidentally also used to be special forces in the military with a lot of connections. He saves Grace and her dad from themselves and the bad guys. HEA.
While Heather Costa's narration was okay there was a cadence to Your Thom's voice that I could have done without.
Still a good book but not my favorite.

Very entertaining story, mediocre performance

I really love the way Nicole Snow writes. I love her characters and her stories. This one is no exception. There are interesting characters, an interesting plot, and enjoyable suspense. However, I really had a lot of trouble with the performance. Sometimes it was very good. Sometimes it was very annoying and the speed and tone of the voices were just wrong. There wasn't consistency. I do love the happy ending.

a solid 3.5⭐

Ridge and Grace were fun characters. There was also a group of supporting characters that I really liked. Overall, this was a fun, light-hearted listen. Where I struggled at times was with the inconsistencies in the author's voice. It made some of the dialogue awkward and pulled me out of the moment at times. As for the narration, Tor Thom's voice is one of my favorites. He could probably make listening to someone read the dictionary enjoyable. Heather Costa was a new to me voice and I enjoyed listening to her narration as well.
