It Takes Two

A Maple Glen Romance, Book 1

De: Christina Butrum

Narrado por: Lorana Hoopes

When Clayton is offered his family business, his initial excitement is weighed down by overwhelming worry. Keeping it in the family has always been his top priority. The only problem? He's a butcher, not a bookkeeper. Numbers were never his thing, but he's determined to make it work. That leaves him with only one choice: He'll have to learn the books or give up what he's always wanted. And there's no way he'll let that happen.

Unless Emmalee can find a job, she will have to forfeit her lifelong dream of living successfully in a quiet, friendly small town. The only problem? There's only one job available and it's not even remotely close to business management. But being a dog walker has its perks - like meeting a handsome butcher at the meat locker, for instance.

What happens when two ideas for one business threaten to take away what matters the most?

Clayton and Emily’s story.

Fun story of Maple Glen. Clayton and Emily’s story has him sweating over the imminent retirement of his parents and him feeling unprepared to take over the butcher and deli shop. He meets Emily on her dog walking gig and is instantly attracted and her skills complement his own. He has back issues he has to deal with. Emily also has issues but there isn’t even a mention of them until the last third of the book. They probably should have been at least hinted at earlier. This is a “clean” book with nothing explicit but the bedroom scenes are hinted at.

Sweet, clean story

I was given a copy of this audio book for an honest review. This is book #1 in the Maple Glen romance series. This story is beautifully written, filled with emotion and bold characters who are unapologetic in their beliefs. Sparks fly from the get go with these two. Fantastic story by Christina Butrum and beautifully narrated by Lorana Hoopes. Highly recommend this series.

Sweet clean HEA

I really enjoyed this audiobook! The narrator did an excellent job distinguishing between the characters and she has a pleasant voice. The author did a great job developing the characters and drawing in the reader. The story flows nicely and I look forward to reading the next book.

Working it out

A lovely romantic story . It has twist and turns . Clay wants to take over the family business but doesn’t know how to manage the books. He meets Emily and sparks fly until his parents ask her to do the books. I received a ARC and recommend reading this book.

Sweet Romance

I enjoyed this sweet, clean romance between Emmalee and Clayton. I also enjoyed all the other characters in Maple Glen. The only thing I didn't feel was real was how quick they fell in love because it was so quick after they met and they really didn't even know each other yet. The narration was great with Lorana as it always is.
