Publisher's summary

An orphaned, small-town Southern girl held hostage by responsibility and self-doubt.

A Hollywood A-list megastar on the run from his latest scandal, with everything to lose.

A chance encounter that leads to an unlikely arrangement and epic love affair that will change them both forever.

When his costar and real-life girlfriend is caught cheating on him with her director, A-list hottie Jack Eversea heads to sleepy Butler Cove, South Carolina. He hopes the sultry Southern heat in this tiny coastal Lowcountry town will hide him from not only the tabloids and his cheating girlfriend but also his increasingly vapid life and the people who run it. He doesn't count on meeting Keri Ann Butler.

Keri Ann has relied on herself so long, dealing with her family's death and keeping up her family's historic mansion, that beaus don't figure into her equation - especially with the meager offering of eligible bachelors in Butler Cove. But fate has other plans.

Keri Ann, suddenly face-to-face with the man who played the movie role of her favorite fictional character, finds herself yearning for everything she has previously avoided. And Jack must decide whether this funny, sassy girl is worth changing his life for before his mistakes catch up to him.

Love the story, but...

I LOVED the book version of this story, so I thought I would give the audio version a try. I just couldn’t tolerate the narrator. Sort of ruined it for me.

Seaglass, turtles and CLIFFHANGER!

This is a love and loss story, placed in the deep south. The narration and dialect spoken by Jorjeana Marie was perfect. Her emotion in this story felt authentic and carried the story through any bumpy spots in the story. While it might have been predictable, the character development gave meat to the story. Johnathan McClain narrated the male character and he was very good also.

Loved!!

Loved every minute. Both characters are wonderful. And I could listen to Jorjeana Marie's accent and narration forever.
Audible should have released sequel instead of leaving us with this cliffhanger.

Cute Young Adult Romance

The Good: Very cute young adult, small town romance featuring popular actor (25) who is NOT an arrogant jerk

The Bad: Not expecting the story to feature a 22 year old virgin; being choosey is admirable but never tempted? Really?

I loved the characters and the narrator

I loved the southern accents, and the main character was so loveable! Moreover, she had some self respect, and generally was prepared to make good decisions with her life. Of course there's some of the usual tropes, but I really liked how spunky she was.

Only half the story.

I really hate this new publishing trend of splitting books in half.

The story is good and I enjoyed the narrator, but if it weren't for the fact that it's included in the Plus Catalog I would be annoyed to have to pay twice for one story.

Pretty Good

While this book had some issues, it also depicted several feminist ideas that I enjoyed seeing in writing.
What upset me most is that the heroine slapped the hero. That is not ok. I wish she would have been called out for that.

It’s Ok

It’s slow and the characters will get on your nerves. A good book to listen to if it’s raining outside or goin on a looonnngggg road trip

Decent Story, Horrible Accents

I am not one to write negative reviews but the accents for this story were so far off that it was painful. The South Carolina accent is not a twangy backwoods sound and the story would have been SO much more enjoyable if it were correct. I enjoyed the story but it was a constant push to remind myself they were in the low country and not the hills of Kentucky.

Great book! You won’t want to stop listening.

Very good book. The characters are easy to love. I found myself very invested in finishing this one!

Really this lovely book.

I don't know why this book got some negative reviews because I thought it was really good. It is a little predictable in places, but it doesn't take away the fact that it's a well thought out, well written story.
I thought the narrators did a great job. Jorjeana did a fabulously! It was like listening to Dolly Parton. Hoping to hear more from Johnathan in book 2.

Rubbish

Loved the narration, thought the story slow, weak and predictable. Don’t waste your time or effort

Loved it!

Took me a while to get used to the females accent but after that loved every minute

Waste of time

Rubbish love story. So predictable. So much of the heavy breathing talk. Complete, utter rubbish

love the accent

story brought to life. Amazing proformance. Good storys. 👍🏾 slow ending but I think they should have had Jack's point of view before the ending.

So glad I found book 2

I really enjoyed this book the story and the characters we enjoyable and believable. I was slightly worried by the abrupt ending but I've found book 2 Forever Jack so I'm hoping for good things

That’s not an ending

I really enjoyed this story but was so disappointed to find there was no real ending. What a shame.

Sadly I had to stop listening

I really wanted to like this book but I found it so boring, there wasn’t much story up to chapter 14 which is where I had to give up! I’m not sure if it did improve but I couldn’t waste anymore time on it. I was disappointed.
