Fierce Family

Greenview Manor Tales, Book 1

De: Dani Elias

Narrado por: Jack Hart

Single mum falls for the local fire chief—it all sounds so simple until it isn't.

Sheila: Juggling two teenage boys and being the General Manager at the top hotel in the area keeps me busy. The last thing I need is the persistent and charming fire chief on my tail. I can't help but be drawn to him, though. Just when I start thinking it might work out, my worst fear becomes a reality.

Josh: One thing's for sure, no one gets my heart racing like the fiery redhead. But when I find "the one," I won't let her slip away easily. Chasing after her and proving that it's worth giving us a shot feels natural. Even if it means putting everything on the line for her and her family.

Things are heating up

I was thrilled for the opportunity to listen to this book 🎧 The book is read by Jack Hart who has a beautiful voice and brought the characters from Fellside to life.

This is the first book in the Greenview Manor series and the one I missed reading!

Things are heating up at the manor with Sheila and Josh 🔥
Sheila keeps busy as the general manager of the manor and keeps having run ins with Josh, the fire chief 👨🏻‍🚒, especially when the guests smoke 🚭 and set off the fire alarm.

This series is small town romance with relatable characters (the main characters being in their 40s) who live their lives in these short, sweet novels. I am glad I got to listen to the first one and get caught up. I can’t wait for more!

Thank you to author, Dani Elias, and Happily Booked PR for the opportunity to listen this book. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Suchhh a good, quick read!!!

I didn’t expect to fall so hard for this story, but Dani Elias completely pulled me into Fierce Family. Sheila is a hardworking single mom who’s spent nearly a decade focused on her boys and career, leaving little room for her personal life (other than BOB. IYKYK). Enter Josh—the town’s fire captain who keeps showing up at her hotel thanks to a troublemaking guest setting off alarms every chance they get. He’s been drawn to Sheila for a while, and when fate throws them together after an accident with one of her sons, their connection seems destined.

What I loved most was how naturally their relationship developed. Josh falls first and hard, but he never pushes—just supports, showing up when Sheila and her boys need him most. Their chemistry is undeniable on paper, and the slow burn between them had me rooting for them the entire time. The story doesn’t shy away from the struggles of parenting teenagers, and there were moments that hit me right in the heart (especially being a mom of 2 boys!). But through it all, Josh proves he’s more than just a love interest—he’s a safe place for Sheila and her boys.

This audio/book was definitely a bit short, but don’t let that fool you. It packs an emotional punch; pulling right on the heartstrings. I even teared up a bit when certain things went down. (I’m a VERY “I wear my emotions on my sleeve,” type of person!) It’s heartfelt, a good bit steamy, and full of small-town charm… tag in some heavy hitting emotional points, and definite suspense… this one nailed it all.

A HUGE thank you to Happily Booked PR and Dani Elias for giving me the chance to listen to this awesome audiobook. I LOVEEEE me a good accent!!!

good book but didn't care for narration

I recently finished reading this story, and overall, it was a good read! I enjoyed the plot and how everything unfolded throughout the chapters. However, I wasn't completely sold on the narration style, which made it hard to follow at times. I've read other books by this author, and I've enjoyed them.📚 I'm eager to see what the author comes up with next time.

Sweet and spicy 🌶️

I received this audiobook as an ARC

I really enjoyed the overall story, and though I’m not used to the short novella style it was a nice change of pace. Sheila and Josh’s story was so sweet in finding love again while also working with having older children who have struggles of their own.

The female MC was a little hard to distinguish from the male MC to begin with, but as I got used to listening it got easier. Otherwise, a very nice pick for a voice actor especially for the emotion put into words.

wow !!

the story line was great, the narrator was amazing. I could feel the emotions, the change of characters and all of it.
