In Full Bloom

Star Harbor, Book 4

By: Lena Hendrix

Narrated by: Stephen Dexter, CJ Bloom

I never meant to accidentally date my brother’s best friend. Brody Shepard has been Star Harbor’s golden boy for as long as I can remember. Decorated police officer and all-around sexiest man alive, it’s taken years to get over my girlhood crush. Trouble is, my brother Hayes might actually be cursed. The ghost stories in our small town run wild, but there’s no denying that when it comes to epic bad luck, my brother wins the prize. It’s why I was determined to set him up with the perfect woman.

For that, I needed Brody’s help. Together, we could increase my brother’s happiness and prove to him that he isn’t really cursed. But all our spying and conspiring meant late night talks, dinner reservations to check on him, and a few too many accidental touches.

Touches that start to feel a little too real. I know better than to fall for Brody’s cocky charm, smoldering looks, and affable humor. Besides, he’d never cross that line with me . . . right? But the more we work together, the more lines are crossed and boundaries blurred. Our lifelong friendship started to change. Now we’re both making excuses to spend time together. Whispered secrets turn into secret touches. Soon, I learn all too quickly that the girlhood fantasy I’d thought I’d cut down just might be in full bloom.

Best one yet!

Omg! I loved this books so much!! To have Kitt’s story was amazing! Brody is the best! And Ralph the dog…he was perfect!

Kit and Brody

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️ 5 🎧

Goodness gracious I just adore this entire family so much. Brody was so casually broken but so perfect anyway—well, despite his little flaws 😂 Kit was so amazing and I loved them both together. The mutual pining was swoony and it made the tension of their fake dating so hot and so much fun.

Watching him finally choose her was everything and more and I can't wait to see Hayes get his happy ever after and finally see what happens with the Lady in the Dunes.

The audio was fantastic. I adored CJ Bloom and Stephen Dexter so much, they brought these characters to life so well and I loved this listen so much.

The Narration is Superb!!!

Stephen Dexter and CJ Bloom narrated the characters perfectly! I was hooked in the first chapter. Loved this book and will read/listen many more times.

Five Stars for the Banter, the Chemistry, and Ralph!

Oh my goodness, this was a five star listen for me! Kit and Brody’s chemistry is fantastic, and their banter had me laughing out loud. These two know exactly how to drive each other a little crazy, and they give as good as they get. There’s such an easy, playful connection between them that makes their friendship turning into something more so much fun to follow.

I absolutely loved Kit. She’s funny, full of personality, and loves her family fiercely. Even when she makes mistakes, her heart is in the right place and she just wants her siblings to be happy. And Brody? It’s easy to see why he’s the town’s golden boy. He’s charming, funny, and such a good guy. Lena Hendrix gave me two characters I loved individually and loved even more together.

And then there’s Ralph. Oh my goodness, that dog! He made an already entertaining story even better. The first chapter alone had me cracking up, and his antics added so many laugh-out-loud moments throughout the book.

The duet narration by Stephen Dexter and CJ Bloom made this an even better listening experience. Stephen’s clear voice, with that slightly gruff edge, was such a good fit for Brody. CJ captured Kit’s lively personality beautifully, and her kid voice was absolutely adorable. Both narrators brought out the humor, chemistry, and tenderness in the story, making the funny moments land and the emotional moments hit right in the feels.

Between the lovable characters, wonderful chemistry, hilarious banter, and fantastic narration, In Full Bloom was an absolute joy to listen to. Five very happy stars!

Kit and Brody

Slow burn loveliness! The only thing I didn’t like is when the narrators talk softly. The book was fantastic!
