Butter You Up

A Grumpy Sunshine Romantic Comedy

By: Liz Alden

Narrated by: Erin Mallon, Alastair Haynesbridge

Cows are better than people–a fact I've sworn by until the irresistibly upbeat Molly comes barreling into my life, running my farm stand and bringing the summer heat with her.

She's also working for Fork Lick’s most debt-ridden business: my family's farm. I try to stay out of that manure pile. Except the crush I have on her makes me think about doing things like smiling all day and patching up my relationship with my brother.

And then I learn she has a thing for me in flannel and we’re on fire between the sheets. Just when I think Molly might be having feelings for me too, old pain comes bleating back in–this was all a set up and I’ve been played.

Butter You Up continues the Farm 2 Forking crop of laugh out loud romantic comedies set on Bedd Fellows Farm.

Get ready to grab life by the teats with an a-derp-able farm dog and baby goats galore with this hilarious and heartwarming romance by Liz Alden.

Loved Alex & Molly

I enjoyed Alex and Molly’s story wonderfully narrated by Alastair and Erin. I really like this narrator pairing. This was a cute small town romance and I loved seeing Alex open up and find his happiness. He has harbored such resentment towards his grandfather and his siblings have always wanted to mend the relationship with him.

Molly really brought out the best in Alex and I loved their chemistry. And I was so glad when Alex was able to help his brother understand what happened between him and his grandfather. Alex really deserved to find his joy in life and to be able to be around his family without the anger and sadness.

I’m excited to see what’s to come for the other siblings.

Love It!

Alex and Molly

This is the part of a series where a couple authors take one of the Bedd siblings and write their story. This is Alex's story the second eldest. Can be read as a standalone. He is a grumpy dairy farmer who is holding a grudge, but when the patriarch of the family dies the family finds the family farm that he walked away from is in jeopardy and he is recruited to help save it. Molly reconstructs a van and is traveling around she connects with the matriarch and finds that she can park her van in one of the barns in exchange for help on the farm while she gets someone to do repairs. These two meet while Molly is working on the Bedd farm and there is an attraction but Alex tries to ignore it but then Molly ends up working some days at his farm. This was a good story I enjoyed it truths are discovered as grudges where held from both brothers and they realize they both misunderstood a situation. Look forward to the other siblings stories.


I really liked listening to this more than I did reading it. The narrators did a good job with giving Alex and Molly a voice. An entertaining and enjoyable story. I find it relaxing listening to this.

Great narration to go with a witty story

If you love romantic comedy look no further than Butter Up (Farm 2 Forking #2). This is grumpy business man Alex and free spirt Molly’s entertaining read and it’s a great addition to the series.
Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge did a wonderful job bringing the characters and their story to life. They were spot on with the passion, the love and the drama but more importantly they got the humour.
From the moment these two meet sparks fly but Alex is more interested in cows than people but Molly comes barreling into his life and it’s not long before they both realise there is an instant attraction. Problem is Molly is working on Alex’s debt ridden family farm and that could cause some issues if he doesn’t make amends with his brother…..
This is a laugh out loud rom com that captivated from the first page to the last line, characters I fell hard and fast for as well as a heartwarming romance. So what more could you ask for. Can’t wait for my next visit to Bedd Fellows Farm.

Entertaining

Liz Alden is a new author to me and I am shocked that not come across this author before.

Set in Fork Lick ( I just love the name) Molly and her van “Vaniel” need some help. In exchange Molly agrees to work at the farm shop which is where she meets the grumpy farmer Alex Bedd.

From the first chapter I was hooked on their story, add in Alex’s grandmother and the Bedd family and you are in for an entertaining read.

I fell hard and fast for Molly and Alex, they are such wonderful characters and so easy to relate too. She brings the light into Alex’s life that he didn’t know he needed.

This book ticked all the boxes for me from the first to the last chapter. I love romantic comedy stories and this was a good example of the genre.

The narration by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge brought the characters to life for me. Their voices were easy to listen too and they brought all the passion, drama, romance and humour to their performances.

Loved it!

It was a great story. I love the continuation of the brothers. We get more world building and a cute new couple between two opposites. I definitely recommend this story. Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge did an amazing job narrating this story.
