The Henry Brothers, Book 3

De: Amy Knupp

Narrado por: Samantha Brentmoor, Patrick Zeller

When you come undone, sometimes the only way to find yourself is to go back home....

Ava: I was about to land my dream writing job when I hit a plot twist. See, I inherited a fixer-upper inn in my small hometown. Where my first love—the guy who broke my heart—still lives. I wish I could say our chemistry had disappeared. But it hasn’t. So now, I have to figure out how to walk down memory lane without repeating history. Because there’s no way I can afford to give him a second chance....

Cash: I hurt Ava, and I wouldn’t blame her for hating me. I’d hate me, too. But that doesn’t mean I ever stopped wanting her. She’s just as smart and sexy as ever. Avoiding her would be like avoiding sunlight. So if she wants a hot fling while she’s in town, I’ll give it to her. I know she’ll probably end up taking my heart with her when she leaves me—and Dragonfly Lake—in her rearview. But that’s my problem. Not hers....

Undone, book three in the Henry Brothers series, is a light small-town contemporary romance that can be listened to as a stand-alone. It has a little humor, some spicy times, and plenty of emotional, heartwarming moments. Download today and watch Cash and Ava find their way back to each other.

Loved this!

Undone is book #3 in The Henry Brothers series. After reading Unsung and thinking that maybe this series was losing my interest, BAM! Ms. Knupp hits us with Undone. Cash is the chef for the Henry family restaurant and the grumpy brother. When Ava comes back to Dragonfly Lake to settle her Aunt's estate including her beloved Inn, she and Cash realize their old feelings haven't died out at all. Ava has landed her dream job out in L.A. and has no desire to remain in town. This story gives us small town and second chance romance in a heartwarming story with enough spice to set that kitchen on fire...TWICE! We also had lots of crossover characters from the True North series, which was very yummy!

The narration was fantastic! Patrick Zeller and Samantha Brentmoor are awesome narrators that bring heart and passion to their performance. 5 stars for this duo!

Regrets, I've Had A Few

I enjoyed book 3 of "The Henry Brothers" series. Ava wanted to repair her aunt's inn as a memorial to her aunt. Ave returned to her hometown where she ran into Cash Henry, the boy who had been her teenage sweetheart. Cash broke off his relationship with Ava and then left town. This story featured two tropes: a second chances one and a grumpy/sunshine one. I enjoyed the grumpy character of Cash who was shown to be in a happier state after meeting with Ava again. I liked that Ava was a very caring person who was determined enough to follow her dreams. Their romance was sweet. Patick Zeller's and Samantha Brentmoor's dual narrations were delightful and added to my enjoyment of the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Second Chance Romance

This is book 3 in Amy Knupp’s Henry Brothers series. This can be enjoyed as a stand alone. However, I think it’s a little more fun having “met” Cash and the rest of the Henrys in previous books – starting with Unraveled.

This was a great second chance romance. I think my favorite part was that this was really less about the past and more focusing on Cash and Ava falling in love again with who they are now. That strong history – and passion – is there providing a wonderful foundation for them slipping back into being lovers.

However, with futures seemingly diverging in two different locations, they know that their time together is limited. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I loved how Knupp didn’t make it so that one person was forced to give everything up (and that it wasn’t only Ava making concessions!). Their solution was wonderful and really solidified their HEA.

Then they get an awesome epilogue which ends on a huge surprise impacting the entire Henry family. Audio lovers get a *second* bonus epilogue offering a peek into married life for Cash & Ava. I’m looking forward to Knox’s book, Unexpected. I’ll be waiting for audio though because…

Narration:
Knupp continues to pick great narrator matches for her characters. Samantha Brentmoor & Patrick Zeller had perfect voices for their own and the opposite character (plus the rest of the Dragonfly Lake folks). The opening chapters – Ava’s grief and hesitation and all that comes with loss was flawlessly encapsulated by Brentmoor. Zeller likewise brought the nuance to Cash he deserved. Then both pivoting as the couple fell in love again. The myriad of emotions they went though. Loved listening.

While I had the ebook, I did received an advance copy of the audiobook from Home Cooked Books and am leaving an honest review.

Hurt and loss.

For anyone who has lost a loved one, it’s easy to relate to Ava after the loss of her Aunt. Being thrust into a situation that surrounds her with the heavy memories of not only her Aunt, but of her childhood and mother as well, brings on a torrent of emotions for Ava. Cash is just trying to make his restaurant prosperous and grow the family businesses. He feels judged by people who don’t know his culinary background or the fact that he has one. I enjoyed their reconnection and the feelings they needed to sort through to get there. The characters were relatable and very dynamic.

I loved the way Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller brought the characters to life. It was an an amazing performance from both.

Sweet, steamy and heartfelt!

Oh, how I swooned extra hard for Cash Henry. “Undone” is a sweet, heartfelt and steamy small town second chance romance that I devoured in one sitting because I could not stop listening to Cash and Ava’s story.

Ava is back in Dragonfly Lake after being gone for years to the inn she was left after Aunt passed away and left it to her. The Inn is in need of some TLC and Ava is determined to get it back in all of its glory. Cash Henry is the one who got away when he broke up with her when he went to enlist in the military. Now he’s the head chef and owner of the family restaurant. The two still have chemistry and Ava’s stay in Dragonfly Lake is temporary because she vowed to put herself first.

I absolutely adored this second chance romance and it has become my favorite of the series. Ava is genuine, independent, smart and I loved how she took on the Inn and did her best to turn it around and grow it in her honor. Cash is so swoony and he stepped in immediately to help Ava with anything she needed. Their connection has spanned years and was still strong even after they had broken up. It was what they needed at the time and this was the right time to come back together. The ending was so sweet and left a teaser that I can’t wait to learn more about when the next book is released.

Samantha Brentmoor and Patrick Zeller were so great as Ava and Cash. Samantha brought all of Ava’s caring and genuine personality to life perfectly. And I enjoyed listening to Patrick as Cash, his gruff voice was the perfect choice.
