Publisher's summary

Adam is a local police officer who has never been interested in finding romance or love. He spent the last ten years raising his kid sister after their parents were killed by a drunk driver. When his seemingly quiet morning patrol takes a deadly turn, Adam starts to think about life and love a little differently. He sets his sights on the beautiful yet guarded Amanda. Can his fire burn deep enough to unlock her innocent heart?

A Valentine's Surprise

What did you love best about A Valentine's Surprise?

A Valentines's Surprise was a wonder short love story. My favorite part or parts was when Adam decided she was going to be his and was not giving up until she was.

What about Bailey Varness’s performance did you like?

I enjoy her performance except Adams voice

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved that they both had suffered such great loss and managed to find each other and a great love. I also love that her co workers tricked her into the sponge bath.

Good, quick read

This was a great, quick story. I typically go for longer books, but I’m glad I gave this a try. Sometime, when you know, you know. And that’s happens here. Amanda is the lucky nurse that gets to care for Officer Adam (police are heroes!) and they know their lives will never be the same.

The narrator was great! I am diving into book 2!

Insta love

This was a short sweet story with insta attraction, that I enjoyed. No angst, only honesty. Both main characters are likable and relatable. I liked Adam's integrity and openness snd wanted more. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.

Great Story

This was such a tender and sweet short story. It shows you how when you're ready and find the right person love happens. This story was not just sweet, but also very sexy! I can't wait to read the next story.

What a great surprise!

What made the experience of listening to A Valentine's Surprise the most enjoyable?



AVS is a great love story. Amanda is too busy with her career and never even thinks about dating. Adam dates but nothing has ever been more than a one night stand for him. Then fate brings these two together. Adam knows from the moment he see's her that she is the one but will he be able to convince Amanda?

This is a great quick listen. I loved the characters and felt everything they experienced. Ms James has quite a way with words. This story was engaging and enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a love story with a HEA. I look forward to listening to more audio books from this author.
