Blue Sky Bay Series, Book 1

By: Laura Pavlov

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Savannah Peachwood

A Small Town, Friends-to-Lovers, Forbidden Love Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.

Gracie Reynolds and I have been best friends since we were kids.

She's smart, kind, funny, beautiful—and one of the best parts of my life.

When Gracie walks into a room, people notice.

I always notice.

But when she moved across the world with a guy I despised, it felt like I'd lost a piece of myself.

I missed her in ways I still can't explain.

Now she's back—and she's crashing at my place for a couple of months while she figures things out.

She's single and ready for a fresh start.

I've always had her back, and that hasn't changed.

What has changed?

The way that she looks at me.

The way I can't stop looking at her.

So, when Gracie makes me a once in a lifetime proposition—obviously, I'm all in.

But this isn't your average gray area—it's a full-on, sweat-inducing, five chili pepper detour we never meant to take.

Gracie has big dreams though, and I'd never be the guy to hold her back.

Even if all I want…is to be the reason that she stays.

Loved it

Connor and Savannah were absolute perfection.
They made Gracie and Cutler's story one of my favourite audiobooks for the year.

I was super invested in these two from the beginning, since Cutler had been all about marrying Gracie in his early years. They had something special from the very first page.

The connection between the two besties was so cute.
I loved how in sync they were, how their relationship slowly changed so that they could convey their thoughts through a glance; I enjoyed their shared history, the tender touches; it was all so lovely. And don't get me started on the spice and dirty talk. I could go on for hours about how delicious it all was.

The friend group and potential for matches has me reminiscing about other books in Mrs Pavlov's back catalogue, and thinking about some of her other couples that I have treasured in the past.
Which in turn tugged on my heartstrings and got me all up in my feels.

I adored getting to catch up with the parentals; Cage & Presley, and Emerson & Nash were a couple of my favourite stories that I have read in this universe. Seeing them all together like this was a real treat.

The whole story was so original

I loved the whole story. It was so original and kept me interested.
I listened in one day.

Gracie and Cutler 🖤

Gosh I loved this story so much. I was excited for Cutler and Gracie story and let me tell ya Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood did such a phenomenal job with the narration. They really brought the story alive and Connor did such a good job with the boys group text messages. They definitely had me laughing and I can’t wait for the next book.

Cutler and Gracie were hands down meant to be together. As they started as friends at 5 years old and they had such a strong relationship as friends and even though they went and did there own things they were always there for each other. When Gracie went to Paris with a man and for work she knew she messed up, Cutler went and got her from Paris an brought her home for her to help him with design as his company along with her living with him as well. They were suppose to be friends, then it turned to friends with benefits because Gracie was convinced she needed spicy lessons.

I absolutely loved seeing Beefcake all grown and knowing Gracie was his only girl was just icing on the cake.

Laura is the queen of small town romance along with writing about characters who are easily to love because that was me with these two. I loved them so much and having there parents in this book as well was perfect! ❤️

The Perfect Story for Cutler & Gracie

Thank you Laura Pavlov for giving Cutler and Gracie the story they absolutely deserved. I knew I wanted a Beefcake story from the first moment we met him when he was just a little boy claiming every girl as "his girl". Laura wrote the perfect story for these two and I couldn't be happier with the way that it turned out. With Savannah Peachwood and Connor Crais narrating the audiobook in duet, it really put the whole experience over the top. Both narrators really encompassed the characters and their feelings from deep friendship to forever love.

Cutler and Gracie have loved each other since they were barely old enough to really know what that emotion was. They have just always been a staple in each other's lives. As the years passed, their friendship grew and deep down, their feelings for each other grew as well, but they also didn't want anything to jeopardize that friendship they shared because it truly meant so much to them. But after Gracie left for Paris with her boyfriend, Cutler started to realize that there was definitely something more there that he couldn't deny.

Gracie realized after she arrived in Paris, that she had really made a mistake. She couldn't really let anyone know because deep down she was ashamed that she had let a man guide her decisions. When she finally decides to go back home, she ends up living with Cutler for a few months and working with him. She also wants a little personal help from him as well. What could possibly go wrong, since they are such good friends. Nothing would change their friendship.

It really doesn't take them long to see how amazing they really are together. And even though there are a couple of moments of jealousy from each of them, it really shows that their feelings for each other goes much deeper than just best friends. They truly are meant for each other. And everyone around them knows that Gracie is Cutler's Forever Girl.

I can't wait to see what happens next in Blue Sky Bay. I just know it's going to be so much fun here.
