Always the Baker

By: B. Love

Narrated by: Elyce Anthony, Midnite Michael

Billie Hopkins is discontent living life for her mother. The painter and baker spends her days working at her family’s business. Even though she wishes she could change her life, she doesn’t have the motivation to do so… Until her boyfriend of three years breaks up with her and gets engaged just six months later. Worse, his fiancée wants to hire Billie to bake their wedding cake. That seems to be the final straw that breaks the camel’s back and forces Billie to do something different with her life—even if it’s just for three days.

Brax Adams is discontent with the fake energy and superficial lifestyle that plagues him as a singer and songwriter. When his ex spreads lies and starts rumors about being pregnant with his child, Brax decides to take a break and go to one of his favorite cities to unwind—Rose Valley Hills. While he yearns for something, someone real, he isn’t actively looking… but a shaking woman at the bar grabs his attention and makes him feel things he’s never felt before.

For Billie, her weekend in Rose Valley Hills is supposed to be a time of freedom, adventure, and a chance to create a new identity. Convinced she will always be the baker and never the bride, the last thing Billie expects is to meet her favorite singer and fall deeper in love with him. As perfect as things feel, the truth about Billie’s little white lie is bound to come out. Will their blossoming bond withstand the news, or will she be yet another woman to disappoint him?

Intriguing

It kept me interested the whole time. It was worth the read/listen. Loved it

It was ok....

This waa not what I was hoping based on the title it seemed incomplete. I almost stopped listening but I had to finish to see the outcome. I'm glad Brax got and Billie finally told.. I bought this because of the author but this was not what I was expecting but it was ok.

Ok but….

I enjoyed the storyline, but I found Midnite Michael’s narration rather unpleasant. It seems he intentionally deepens his voice and like he has his mouth pressing against the mic, which gives it an annoying muffled, gravelly quality and guttural tone. His voice resembles a deeper version of Lil Wayne’s speaking voice (cringe). This is the second book I’ve listened to that he has narrated, and the experience was similar. He’s very close to making it onto my do-not-buy list. Elyce Anthony’s narration was satisfactory.

Just why

I absolutely haaate these types of book. I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs, just tell him. We too grown for this immature shit. the narrators were ok

Female

The female narrator has to be one of my least favorite of all time. I actually skipped her chapters. This is absolutely the worst book I’ve ever listened to by B. Love. I listened to most of the book after the truth came out just because of the author but this was a waste of a credit.
