Story
Charlie is back in his hometown of Chester Falls for his sister's wedding. What he needs is a date to keep him away from the wandering hands of his ex. Prince Kristof of Lydovia, or simply Kris, needs an escape from the latest press scandal. Hiding away in an American small town doesn't mean he can't pretend to not be royal or be someone's boyfriend. Especially when that someone keeps falling all over him, literally.

Milo. Unusual. Quirky. Different. I’ve heard it all. I’ve accepted I’m not for everyone. When I find out I inherited a bookstore and apartment on a small East Coast island, I jump at the chance for a new life. Turns out I’ve also inherited a sexy, tattooed guy who not only rents the space next to my store but my apartment too. Gideon. I wasn’t looking for a roommate, but it’s not like I can stay at Milo’s place while he’s banished to a hotel. According to Milo, we’re bestie goals. And if he doesn’t wear pants at home, who am I to complain?

Story
Meeting at a bachelor auction for charity had trouble written all over it as far as I was concerned, especially when the guy that won the bid for me seemed to be after only one thing...a good time between the sheets. Refusing Fletcher’s advances was easy the first time round. After all, we weren’t meant to see each other again. Except I’ve just moved to Stillwater where Fletcher lives. Except both our kids are in the same class. Now the kids are fighting and I’m ready to throw my own punches. If only Fletcher wasn’t as goddamn irresistible as he is irritating.

Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. At 52, he doesn’t believe in keeping anything. Men, sofas, books—everything gets jettisoned, eventually. He’s divided his life into happy compartments. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement planning, and corns when he can date men who don’t care to discuss anything at all?

Some people are born lucky. Then there’s me, destined to be loved by the man who knows my darkest secret. My gift has followed me my entire life—the ability to see the threads of fate. I can see the red thread tying together two people destined to love one another. But my gift has another side to it. A darker side. I can also see a simple black thread tied to the fingers of those who aren’t aware of it, connecting them to the person destined to kill them. And when I look down at my own finger, I can see the red thread stretched over to Bishop King.

The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Every bartender should follow one simple rule - don't go home with the customers. That’s been easy for me to stick to, until the night a cocky, confident, and sinfully charming hockey star walks into my bar. This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar - also known as me. Still, I’m not keen on breaking my own rules since I know where that can lead - no place good.

At seventeen, I ran. I joined the military and planned to never step foot in my home town again. Nothing could make me return to that hellhole and the pain I buried there, or so I thought—until I found myself on a plane to that very place. Almost two decades later, I’m forced home to help find a missing nine-year-old. As a member of the most elite K9 special unit in the country, it was my job, and you can’t exactly say no to the FBI. It should be easy, and I won’t have to face what I ran from. However, the case is anything but simple.

Look, when I met the sexy, witty Brit on the streets of London last night, I had no idea who he was. He was just that hot guy I wanted to have a drink with, so I asked him out for my first evening in town. One thing almost led to another. After a midnight kiss, we made plans for a whole lot more the next day. But when I unlock the door to my rental in the morning, the English hottie is lounging on the couch like he lives here too. Great. For the next year, I’ll be sharing a tiny flat with the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.

I didn’t mean to stow away on the yacht, I swear. My first mistake was going home with the jerk at the bar, but in my defense, Prescott said he owned the Worthington - 90 feet of sleek, yachty perfection - and if I could get the chief mate’s job, I’d have an excuse to stay on board and keep avoiding my family and my future. How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?

Short and Sweet Intro to a New Series
This short story is a prequel of the Chester Falls series that spotlights the owner of the town book store, Bookmarked, and Tristan, a new town resident who is fleeing from the memory of his cheating ex. They meet at on out of the way bar where they share a heated hookup. However, Ben decided not to contact Tristan after the encounter, despite the chemistry that occurred between them.

Then he caught his lovely bookworm
A sweet story set in a small town in New England which is very LGBT friendly. This was short and enjoyable.
Chester found out that he’s been cheated and was down in the dumps. So he was driving around town and ended up in a gay bar to unwind and hooked up with a cutie there. He gave the cutie his number but never got a call. Instead of getting his heart broken from his a-hole ex, he couldn’t forget the cutie he met in the bar. Then by a chance encounter, they met again.
This is very short and sweet and I really wanted more from this sweet couple. I have read/listened some other books in the same universe and I think this was a good and short introduction to the rest of the series.
3.5 Then he caught his lovely bookworm stars

Ben & Tristan
A quick and sweet listen that is a prequel to the wonderful Chester falls series. Ben and Tristan meet at a bar and have a one night stand. They each stay on the other's mind but the last thing they expect is to see each other again. But when they do, their chemistry and connection are hard to ignore. The narrator is wonderful in bringing these characters to life and also the story. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy of this audio book.

This was a super cute one! The narration was pretty good, Nick Hudson had an excellent voice for the characters. He brought passion and angst to life with his tones and vocal sounds. The story was sweet and fun. I really liked the side characters and the way the author connected the two without them realizing it until it was too late. Over all it was an excellent piece to enjoy 😊

Ben & Tristian’s Story
It was good to finally see Ben & Tristian’s start! They pop up in the previous books of the series, and getting to see how they meet and eventually get together is nice. While this book is a good, sweet read, it is much shorter than the previous books I’m the series and I felt that at times there were things being rushed.
The narration by Nick Hudson was okay but the extended pauses between sentences/paragraphs/chapters got to be very annoying.
While it was nice to see Ben & Tristian’s story, this will probably be one that I skip on the audio if I read it in the future.

Perfect introduction to Chester Falls
I really wish this had been longer because I absolutely loved this little snippet of Ben and Tristan.
A chance encounter leads to a sizzling night of passion that leaves both men wanting more.
Neither one can stop thinking about thinking about the other until fate intervenes and they realize they live in the same town.
Absolutely sweet and adorable.

Lovely prequel to a great series
I admit I love Chester Falls. A picturesque New England town that is very LGBTQ friendly. There’s something charming about that, especially in the world we’re currently enduring. I’ve listened to all the Chester Falls books, and I have to admit this one started a bit differently. Like with a bang. A literal one. In the bathroom of a gay club. A well-used incident, to be sure, but one that works in this case.
Tristan has just discovered his jerk boyfriend is not into fidelity and he’s hurt. He probably saw this coming, but that doesn’t lessen the pain. He drives around until finally winding up at a gay bar far out of the new town he’s just settled in. A quick bang with a cute guy in the bathroom? Just what he needs to feel better.
Except it leaves him feeling empty and wondering about the adorable guy he’s been with. He gave the guy his number, but the guy never called. Still, Tristan is doing his best to settle into his new job and even attends his friend Hannah’s party where she is with her girlfriend Ellie. These two lesbians appear later in the series and I loved watching their relationship blossom and thrive.
Anyway, it isn’t until Tristan meets up with the bookish guy that the pieces fall into place and Ellie, meddling woman that she is, ensures her boss Ben and the man he’s obviously attracted to get some quality alone time. Forced proximity, if only for a short time.
There are other characters who appear later in the series who pop in but the story truly focuses on the two men and whether they can overcome their hesitations to commit to each other.
I’ll give a shout out to Nick Hudson who is doing a fantastic job of narrating the series. He just suits it perfectly. If you haven’t tried these, this audio is a great short and fun introduction to the town and its inhabitants. And hopefully you’ll want to go on and read the rest of the books.

Short and sweet
Nice bonus by Ana Ashley for the series and Nick Hudson did a brilliant job with the narration.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Short, sweet and fun!
A cute short story in the Chester Falls series - the prequel really.
Ben and Tristan are a fun and hot couple. When they meet at a club, it's insta-lust. The rest ost of the story is about them moving beyond the instant attraction.
Nick Hudson dies a great job, as always! He's been really good for the series. Enjoyed the audiobook a lot!

How a great series began
I didn't start the Chester Falls series with this prequel, but have loved every book in the series, so it was great to back up and kind of see how things started. I adore books about nerdy bookworms and bookstore owners so this was right up my alley. The two characters were great for each other, the romance was hot and as always with Ana Ashley she knows how to end a story perfectly. Her last chapters and epilogs always make me sigh, smile and close the book with a sense of warmth and comfort. Nick Hudson is the perfect narrator for this series. He has the right mix of emotional depth and lightness the stories require. It just sounds like he is having a ball performing these.

Short, cute Chester Falls prequel!
A short prequel to the Chester Falls series, a small town with a big heart. Ben meets Tristan a week after Tristan has broken up with his cheating boyfriend and sparks fly. All these books are cute and good-natured and this is no exception. I always prefer longer books over shorter ones, so I would have loved a full novel - it gives me time to really sit with the characters, see their personalities at work, and learn their backstories. This story was the definition of short but sweet. 🎧 Nick Hudson is one of those voice actors who can make his words smile with warmth, it’s always fun and pleasant to hear him narrate.
