Publisher's summary

In Spring Fever, the New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews delivers her delicious new escapist novel about small towns, old flames, and deep secrets

Annajane Hudgens truly believes she is over her ex-husband, Mason Bayless. They've been divorced for four years, she's engaged to a terrific new guy, and she's ready to leave the small town where she and Mason had so much history. She is so over Mason that she has absolutely no problem attending his wedding to the beautiful, intelligent, delightful Celia. But when fate intervenes and the wedding is called to a halt as the bride is literally walking down the aisle, Annajane begins to realize that maybe she's been given a second chance. Maybe everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, she wants Mason back. But there are secrets afoot in this small Southern town. On the peaceful surface of Hideaway Lake, Annajane discovers that the past is never really gone. Even if there are people determined to keep Annajane from getting what she wants, happiness might be hers for the taking, and the life she once had with Mason in this sleepy lake town might be in her future.

Critic reviews

“Kathleen McInerney perfectly presents this cheerful, funny story about second chances and true love. It's a story full of Southern charm and witty dialogue, and McInerney's Southern accents are well done. Her fake ‘sweet' voice for the villainous Ceila is enough to make one's teeth hurt, and everyone would love to have a best friend like Mason's determined sister, Pokey. A superior listen leaves one smiling.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Narrator Kathleen McInerney does the book proud, conferring subdued Southern accents on the Carolina natives and distinguishing between men and women with unobtrusive variations in key. She gives a pint-size, non-icky voice to a mystery child, Sophie, and a perky, uber-yummy Midwestern accent to the Nebraska-born manipulator, Celia. The book is a sparkler with just desserts and comeuppances dished all around.” —Newsday

“Kathleen McInerney's narration is clear, crisp, and appealing…The Southern accent she creates is effective in all its forms: soft and sweet or acerbic and cold. This entertaining, contemporary romance is perfect for light, summer listening.” —Publishers Weekly

Andrews never disappoints!

Would you listen to Spring Fever again? Why?

Would listen again & again (but don't have time to even listen to all of the new books I want to hear!)

Any additional comments?

Always Southern in charm & always desriptive enough to bring you right into each scene.

LOVED this one!!!

One of my favorites by this author. Going to share this with my friends to hopefully convert them to audible listeners!!! Just really loved the story and the twists in it.
Super!!!

A fun listen

This was fun listening, but the story was not without problems. There were bits that should have been edited out, because they went nowhere in the end. But overall, I enjoyed it very much. The characters were believable, as was the plot. It made me want to cry, did make me laugh, and I sympathised with the people who came to life. The setting was part of the story, so it was enjoyable as well.
I enjoyed the narration. Many books set in the South are read in a 100% Southern accent, so when a character isn't from there, it is jarring to hear that accent. Kathleen McInerney reserved the Southern accent for the characters' dialog, and eschewed it for the descriptions, so when the character with the mid-western accent was speaking, it didn't disturb. The characters are also given distinct voices, so it's relatively easy to know who is speaking.
As well as all that, there is a bonus interview with Mary Kay Andrews at the end that was informative. Sometimes it's nice to get those questions of "how do you start a story" and "how do you invent your characters" answered. Her answers are interesting and surprising in some ways.

A delightful read

Storyline very well scripted with characters very much believable. Found story light, a few laughs & tears along the way. An interesting ending that I didn't see coming. Thank you for a very delightful read. Mel @ Yamba

Light Summer Reading

A great summer read. Light weight with obvious events but I wanted the heroine to come out on top and I liked her.

simple but good

A predictable plot with likeable characters in the hands of an experienced author still makes 4 stars. Not my - personal - best in this genre, but still highly recommendable if you're looking for a couple of hours of easy listening.
No complaints on the narration either.

Interesting

I'm new to this author and have only listened to one other book which I loved. This one isn't as great but still kept my attention and wasn't a bore to listen to!

Loved it 😊

An amazing story, one of my favorites so far, getting ready for the next one.

One of my favorite MK Andrews books!

The story comes alive and jumps off the pages!
Hit home and was sos similar to how I grew up, the small town and relationships between lifelong best friends, down to the husband I have known my whole life, and the bumps in life they conquered

A good light read
