Baked Inn Love

Freedom Valley, Book 2

De: Erin Branscom

Narrado por: Keira Stevens, Thomas Locklear

Friends to lovers, fake marriage, epic road trip, millionaire, single parent, different worlds.

Single mom Allie’s only bright light is her son, four-year-old Caleb. When Allie is fired from her job and Caleb’s previously absent father returns to fight for custody, she knows it’s time to leave San Diego. To get closer to her support systems, she needs to move across the country to her family inn in Freedom Valley, New Hampshire. Enter Logan Nolan, a handsome Canadian literary agent. When a good friend begs him to help bring Allie and Caleb home, he can’t say no. During the road trip, Allie and Logan realize they have something to offer each other: a marriage of convenience.

Before they know it, Allie and Logan live as a family in Freedom Valley. Allie, a passionate baker, starts her own business, and Logan learns how to balance his career with his new pretend family. Logan never saw himself as a family man, but as he spends more time with Allie and Caleb, he begins to rethink his views. Allie has always gotten by on her own, but with Logan around, she’s starting to wish her marriage was real, especially as Caleb’s father’s efforts to take his son intensify. Can Allie and Logan give in to their true feelings and turn make-believe into something real?

Baked Inn Love is a complete stand-alone and can be listened to without listening to any of the other books, but if you prefer to listen in order, start with Falling Inn Love as the characters and families are connected.

What a good story!

What a good story. I was excited to dive into this one as its the second in the series and I enjoyed the first. I enjoy the Inn where these are staged and all the characters that reside there to make this another wonderful book.

I enjoyed Logan and Allie who we briefly met in the first book but they did not know each other. I liked the get to know you road trip as it sounds like they had fun. Each one of these characters has a past that they are unhappy with and they each learn to deal with it through the story.

I did listen to this on audio. Kiera Stevens and Thomas Locklear are the narrators. I loved Ms Stevens as Allie. She throughly encompassed her and I could picture her in my head. Mr Locklear, while was outstanding as Logan, I did not like his female voice. It just sounded too high pitched and falsetto and threw me off for a second when he was being Allie.

If you thought the first book was good....

Falling Inn Love was such a good read and I knew that Baked Inn Love would be just as great. What I was not prepared for was for it to be such a good audio book! The audio book is narrated by Thomas Locklear and Keira Stevens. And holy smokes, the chemistry they have in this book is gooood!

Keira did such a great job with showing us all the emotions that Ally is going through. You can really feel her self doubt, her worries and her love when listening to her chapters. And then you have Thomas… oh Thomas. He was amazing as our Logan. His voice had just right amount of emotion in it to make us fall in love with Logan but also feel the possessiveness and love he has for Ally. I enjoyed the narration for the book.

Now the story, holy smokes the story. Ally is a single mom dealing with her baby boy revering from surgery and dealing with a dead beat dad who is trying to take over custody for her son. All the while, the dad has no idea who his son is and hasn’t even met him! Such a rollercoaster of emotions right off the bat.

The story takes us on an across the country journey with Logan and Ally. While they get to know each other, they completely fall head over heels and Logan will do anything to help Ally keep her family together. This is where all the drama comes in and I was soooo here for it. Erin Branscom is an amazing writer that really knows how to pull at our heart strings. I absolutely devoured this audiobook and I’m excited to see if the third one in the series gets an audiobook as well!

Great story with wonderful narration

I adored the first book and this is a great addition to this series. So many amazing tropes wrapped into this one beautiful love story - cross country road trip, opposites attract, single mom, fake marriage and instant attraction. Erin gives us amazing characters who are a bit down on their luck and throws in an amazing hero to help them work through their troubles. Allie is a struggling single mom who is doing her best - she is strong, determined and creative in order to support her and her son. Logan is the ideal man who has a big heart, work focused and is very accommodating. During their unexpected trip they find fun and exciting g adventure and help one another become better people. They face some challenges along the way but are determined to see them through…together. Towards the end you wanted to shake both of them and say get your $&@t together, open your eyes and realize what’s in front of you! Lol Thomas Locklear and Keira Stevens did a great job on the narration - they are new to me narrators but would definitely listen to them again. They did a great job of bringing out all the emotions for all the characters. I enjoy audiobooks because they bring a different dimension to the story.

Loving this series

This series is so good I can’t wait to listen to the next one. Narration is good too

Cute Rom-Com!

This was so lovely. Such a cute Rom-Com. I love how the author gave the single mom a way to have fun and fall in love without neglecting her kid. The cross-country trip was so cute, and I loved all the little things they did together, like picking out shirt souvenirs. That ending! Oh goodness, I was in happy tears. It was so sweet and perfect.

I look forward to book three (All Inn Thyme) in this series that comes out March 2nd!

I enjoyed the female narrator and felt she did an excellent job on different depths for different characters and inflection for emotions.
