Publisher's Summary

Perrin is through with men. After dumping her cheating fiancé, she started a new career, and her life is finally on an upswing - until Gage comes to town.

Gage King, of King Construction, represents everything the small town of Jasper Falls is not. His big Texan upbringing disguises his secrets well. At first glance, he’s all luxury and a lavish lifestyle, but to a girl like Perrin Harris, he’s one big eye roll.

When Gage tries to buy the land Perrin has her heart set on, she puts a plan into action. She will stop at nothing to get what she wants, but will Gage - and Gage wants her.

Small town romance with a billionaire twist.

The story is short and sweet. It’s easy to connect with the characters. The narrator adds layers to the story that I really enjoyed. I loved her different voices for everyone. A story with heart. Well worth a listen.

I’m not sure he’s actually a billionaire he’s definitely rich rich.

Great addition to Jasper Falls!

I loved this one. Ava Erickson did phenomenally and the story was a lot of fun. I loved Parrin and Gage so much even when they were frustrating. I can’t wait for the next book!

Such a great read!

I have listened to a few of Lydia’s audibles and they are so enjoyable.

Samantha joins her friend/more than friend as he visits his family on school break. The chaos of their thick Irish family overwhelmed her, until she met his older brother Colin. She never knew she could feel what she felt when she was around him.

Colin was conflicted when he locked eyes with Samantha, knowing he was making his vow to God to become a priest and anything they start would end in sadness.

This was a beautiful love story that showed the reality of this real scenario and I felt so engrossed with the story. Such a good audio!

Go for it! Sweet small town romance

I enjoyed this book quite a bit! Ava Ericsson did a terrific job with the narration, and while the steam level was low, the story had so much heart and gave me all the feels. I loved Gage! This can be listened to as a stand-alone, I had no issues catching up, no complicated back stories. Go for it! I’ll be looking for more books by Lydia Michaels!

New book boyfriend?

First things first, Gage is a 10/10. He's got all the traits I seek in a good MMC and his one flaw is not sharing something he should have. It didn't change my viewpoint on him at all because I've seen that situation happen in real life and can only imagine how much stress it causes, let alone having to bring it up to someone new that you have an interest in. Some of the stuff he says to Perrin *fans self* He's a keeper.

This story is well done and though it's quick because it's a novella it hits all the points. Lydia Michaels always writes stories that keep me interested and leaving me wanting more of her characters when they're done and this one was no different!

Ava Erickson did a wonderful job narrating this one. She has the type of voice that makes you want to listen, and paired with this well written story I was sucked in from the very first chapter. Without a doubt worth the listen.

Ava Erickson was perfection!

Perrin was talking to Luke when a stranger entered the bar. She and her sister Maggie had purchased O'Malley's last year from Maggie's husband Ryan's family and it was finally back in the family...well, kind of...Maggie's deceased husband was Nash O'Malley and the bar had been lost in a poker game causing a feud which in a small town made things very uncomfortable.

Perrin had finally talked Maggie in to an expansion and Perrin's dream of a restaurant was closer to becoming a dream. She just needed the bank to accept her offer on the foreclosed property behind the bar. Jasper Falls has gotten a growth spurt after the new mayor's revitalization program and she wanted to be part of the towns growth.

Perrin had vowed off men after her fiance was caught cheating, but even she had to admit the tall man with black hair was gorgeous. You could tell he wasn't from around here since he wasn't wearing a plaid shirt and jeans and when he orders a Scotch they find out that he is Gage King owner of King's Construction Outlets and was looking to add a store in Jasper Falls.

Perrin is upset because this would prospectively hurt their town. Ryan's family owned the lumber business and hardware store and half the town would be out of a job. She is further upset when she finds out that the property he wants is where she wants her restaurant.

Love Me Nots is book three of the Jasper Falls Series and narrated by Ava Erickson. I love this continuing series about Jasper Falls and Ava Erickson does a wonderful job bringing Perrin and Gage's story to life. This story is action packed from word one and has a not so happy twist for Perrin.

Perrin had a jaded view of relationships due to her ex-fiance's betrayal and Gage has his own relationship issues. I loved this storyline and Gage's mishaps. This story may be short but it is steamy hot. Can't wait to see what Jasper Falls has in store for us next. Highly recommend!

Small town meets big city romance

I loved reading Perrin and Gage’s story. Perrin is a small town beauty with big dreams. She has plans for their newly acquired bar and works hard to make her dreams come true. When big city millionaire Gage visits Jasper Falls, she feels her dreams and her town’s livelihood are in jeopardy. Gage and Perrin have fantastic chemistry but a lot of baggage to work through. I enjoyed reading their story of courage after heartbreak. The audiobook was easy to listen to, Ava Erickson does a very good job as the single narrator hitting all the highs and lows of the book. She really captured the moment of so many scenes. Well done!

Love Me Knots review

I think it’s become clear that I am on a Lydia Michael audiobook binge and I absolutely love it. I am obsessed with the Jasper falls series and I’m now on my third audiobook from the series. Let me just start off by saying every single one of her couples in the serious 10 out of 10. She brings different women and different men with different backgrounds, different situations, different trauma and when they meet the person they work, they just fit and it’s so beautifully written and put out there. It truly makes me emotional at times. I thought I loved the last couple of the last book from her now I love this one and I’m gonna love the next. I love them all too much. I love the plots this is definitely my favorite series I have ever read and I do not plan on stopping until I’ve read every single one of them. It’s the books like these that bring me back to why I started reading in the first place and why reading makes me truly happy. Now I beg of you please run and get all the books just get them all. And don’t stop until you have them.

An Interesting Direction

Love Me Nots is more of a novella than a full length novel. Love Me Not uses quite a few narrative shortcuts that make the romance feels as if it is being fast forwarded. The characters are lovely and the writing is infectious, but narratively Love Me Nots does not do its characters' romance justice.

enjoyable quick listen

Perrin has just had a terrible break up, so it isno surprise that the story begins with her swearing off dating to focus on building the business she owns with her sister, O'Malley's Pub. Suddenly, big time business man Gage is in her pub and he challenges everything she has just committed to.

I enjoyed this fast-paced, sweet story, but I wish there had been more to it. I didn't get to emotionally connect with the characters because it was so short. It felt a little too rushed in terms of their relationship development.

Perrin and Gage!

Perrin hasn’t made the best choices when it comes to the men in her life so she is focused on ensuring the ongoing success of the pub that she owns with her sister. She wants to purchase a parcel of land that will allow her to expand only to find out that another person has placed a bid above the market value.

Gage has overcome a difficult past and is a successful business. He purchased the property intending to build the next construction store in his chain never expecting his attraction to Perrin or that she wanted it as well. He soon realizes that nothing is more important than Perrin however both of their pasts are about to catch up with them.

Both Gage and Perrin are cautious as they have been burnt by love in the past so even though they have some challenges to overcome the feelings between them are undeniable. The narrator did a great job with both the pacing of the story and making the characters relatable.

Sweet and funny

Love Me Nots is sweet and funny. It was a thoroughly enjoyable quick and easy listen on audiobook with wonderful narration.
The fun banter and red hot chemistry had me hooked from the start.
Love Me Nots is a standalone story in the Jasper Falls small town Romance series. It was my first book by this author but definitely won’t be my last!!
-5 Stars!-

Sweet, Cute, and Heartwarming Romance!

This is the third book in the Jasper Falls Series, a Small Town Romance. This is another great addition to the series. Perrin and Gage's story is sweet, cute, and heartwarming. Ava Erickson did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Pining for You, the next book in the series.

Loved this audiobook

I LOVED THIS!

This book is so sweet and very quick.
Perrin and Gage are the ultimate couple. Perrin recently found out her fiance was cheating on her and Gage has had his own secrets. Their relationship is very quick but I loved every second of it! Mostly the communication. Most rom-com's base the tension around lack of communication. However, in this book, that wasn't the case. It was funny, smart, sweet and I loved it.

Even though the relationship is built very quickly, I didn't feel like the pace was rushed. The chemistry between Perrin and Gage was clearly visible, I would be surprised if it wasn't so fast!

Overall I highly recommend this audiobook, as the storyline is fantastic and the narrator really captured the story!

Sweet listen!

This was my first book by Lydia Michaels & my first visit to Jasper Falls. Loved the small town feel of this story. Gage & Perrin went on quite the adventure together! Lots of highs & lows in this sweet & sexy story. Ava Erickson was amazing as Perrin. I could listen to her narrate forever!

My first visit to Jasper Falls!

What happens when the big business tries to come into the small town? Gage King finds out when he comes to Jasper Falls. Wanting to open his store in the small town, he comes into the local bar and meets Perrin. Perrin has had her share of heartbreak. She is now putting all her energy into her restaurant. When she catches wind of Gage's intentions, and then finds him interfering in her own dreams, he finds out he has met his match. Their attraction is real, but the conflict is too. Will Gage see things in a new light? Will Perrin be able to open her heart? This is a quick listen but packs a punch. A lot of witty banter, chemistry that is easy to feel and a small town I have fallen in love with, Lydia Michaels has a wonderful love story to warm your heart.

Ava Erickson has pulled me into this series, and I am so happy! She brings out all humor, the tension and love with her performance and I loved it!

I am in love

Absolutely loved this book! It was short and sweet! I fell in love with the characters and Jasper Falls!

It was the first time for me listening to this Author, and it will not be the last, I am looking forward to listening to the rest of this series.

The narration was brilliant, Ava is definitely one of my top 10 narrators.
