Story
It’s been two years since the divorce papers slapped Jenna in the face, and it’s high time to dive back in. Step one: find a romance-novel-worthy man for a hot summer fling. How hard could it be? But disastrously bad flirting, a failed honky-tonk hookup, and a mix-up with one of Sunview’s finest have Jenna seriously doubting if this is all worth it. Maybe she’s better off leaving the world of love and sex to others...or maybe, she’s just looking in the wrong place.

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?

What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

Finding a good roommate through a classified ad isn’t as easy as it sounds. I was starting to lose hope. Until a knock at my door came, and God answered my prayers. Except...uh...wrong prayer, God. I’d definitely requested the big guy find me a drop-dead gorgeous man on more than one occasion...just not as my roommate. Declan Tate talked me into interviewing him anyway. While he was amusing and charismatic, I wouldn’t have been comfortable living with a man, so I regretfully declined. Then, cupcakes showed up at my door.

It started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…. Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

I’m a single female who’s tired of relationships ruining my life. However, there are times when a date would be helpful. If you’re a single man, preferably mid-20s to late-30s, and are in a similar situation, we might be a match. Candidate must be handsome, charming, and willing to pretend to have feelings for me (on a sliding scale, as the event requires). Ability to discuss a wide variety of topics is a plus. Must have your own transportation and a (legal) job. In exchange for your time, I will give you mine. If interested, please email me. Time is of the essence.

Which is why I prefer to keep my life as simple and uncomplicated as possible. Until him. Blake McAdams barrels into my life and refuses to leave. He’s relentlessly optimistic, sexy as hell, annoyingly persistent, and…wants to be friends? Because…he thinks I’m interesting? Yeah, I’ll pass. Thanks. Only, somehow, we end up doing just that.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Publisher's summary
Surly, rude, selfish, and inconveniently attractive. Meet Milo Papatonis, the king of all jerks.
I’m not normally one to judge, but I’ve been down this particular road before and I can unequivocally say he’s earned his title. It’s not enough that Milo crushed my dreams when we were kids, but now I’m somehow being forced to dwell under the same roof with his ill-mannered ass. If he thinks his sexy shower noises and ovary-imploding smile can tempt me into forgetting, he’s nuts.
This situation is strictly business and blessedly temporary. Because my dreams are still out there waiting for me, and they won’t be found anywhere near this town - or this guy.
Jerks do nothing but break hearts, of that I’m certain. But I’ve been known to be wrong a time or two....
If you've listened to Then Again by Sylvie Stewart, you've met Jill, the hopeless flirt and younger sister to Jenna. Catch up with Jill as well as your friends from The Nerd Next Door in this fun, sexy, irresistible new addition to the Carolina Kisses series.

Great enemies to lovers comedie
As always this author wrote a super funny story, and is a very well written book. I am usually not a big fan of flash backs, but they way it was done here was great and necessary to understand the history between Hero and heroine. I liked both the Hero and heroine, the heroine being a bit of a drama queen created several laugh out loud moments. The female narrator did an excellent job both as young Jill as grown up Jill.
The young Hero was a grump, due to a horrible accident and in a lot of pain. The male narrator also did an excellent job as the young and the adult Milo. He has a very nice voice to listen to.
Overall I enjoyed listening to this book very much and I think every of the five stars is well earned

Second the story itself was super cute, with a little bit of steam(closer to the end). I just kept thinking I need myself a southern man.

Great Rom Com
I enjoyed this audiobook. Jill and Milo had a tumultuous past. They reconnect 12 years later by chance. Jill showed up in her old town to find herself. She kept hitting bad luck one episode after another. Milo also returned to attend his dad's funeral and move into the house left for him. Jill and Milo had constant bickering and insulting each other.
I always like listening to dual narrators. This is my first time hearing Matt Hicks who has a panty melting voice. Amanda Stirling was partnered well with Matt. She was fabulous.

Even more fun as an audiobook
4.5 Stars
I read this book shortly after it came out, but I just listened to it as an audiobook and it was so much better! Amanda Stribling and Matt Hicks knocked it out of the park, really bringing the characters to life. Their performances were amazing. The story is even more fun when they add all the emotion to the words.
New Jerk in Town is more missed opportunity/enemies to lovers than second chance/enemies to lovers. I love the rom com writing style. It is a stand alone, but I can't wait to read Andie's story.

Cute
Milo and Jill are a great couple. The past and present scenes helped explain the relationship between Milo and Jill, how far back it goes, Jill's anger towards Milo. and Milo's feelings for Jill. The restaurant where Jill worked was a wonderful idea. My mom loves The Sound Of Music so I was familiar with the female characters and we definitely would have eaten there. I loved that Milo never gave up on Jill, even when she was being awful to him. It was a fun listen and the narrators did a wonderful job.

Who doesn’t love second chances?
This is my first listen by Miss Stewart and I really enjoyed the book. First it was a little hard for me to get into but by the third chapter I was definitely more invested and wanted to hear what happened next. I found it a little difficult to follow when the characters would switch back-and-forth from the past to the present but it didn’t distract from the overall quality of the book. The narrators did an amazing job I absolutely loved their accents and voices and how they brought personality to each character through their voice.

misconceptions and snark
I like the story and the wit and the snark. Mostly, I live the way Milo is so caring and so sweet and how he is a protector. Jill can be a little much but it fits with the story. Well done from the writing to the narration.

Satisfying, funny and heart-warming romance
I’m doing a strange seal-clap of giddiness as I think about writing this review because I just adored this book. It’s actually the second book in Sylvie Stewart’s Carolina Kisses series - but it stands completely alone with its own couple and HEA.
Jill has ditched her normal life to go on an adventure in order to find herself and make her dreams come true. It’s just sheer bad luck that her car breaks down and she has to hole up in a small town with no money and no friends. Her luck turns around when she finds a room for rent at a really cheap rate. But that room is in the home of Milo, the boy - now man - who broke her heart one summer 12 years ago. And he’s still the biggest jerk in town.
So yay for legitimate and deep-seated enemies to lovers. Milo is a proper grump and is so annoyed by Jill and her sunny nature invading his life once again. I love the way she infuriates him but it’s a hot second before we realise that Milo is properly smitten with Jill. So it becomes something of an unrequited love, yearning and longing thing that made me happy. In the audiobook, Milo is voiced by the drawl-tastic Matt Hicks. His voice is so delicious and he definitely channeled the growly, grumpy Milo.
Jill was a really likeable character - a sunshiny, upbeat sort but still worldly and practical. I loved the way her feelings were so back and forth towards Milo - and how through it all, even if she professed to hate him, she still had the hots for him! Jill is voiced by Amanda Stribling and I believed her portrayal and her voice was nice to listen to.
The pair had explosive chemistry - and not just because of the ‘I hate you’ vibes! It was hot and I was here for it. But on top of that, every few chapters, we’d go back in time 12 years to when Jill and Milo met one summer as teens. Those scenes were adorable and they really showed the beginning of the feelings and emotions between the pair. It wasn’t full on angst, but as we see this young couple having a happy summer, you know that they’re going to end up as enemies and that something is going to go very wrong. Waiting for that to reveal itself was a strange form of delightful torture and it kept me listening long into the night.
This is Sylvie Stewart so of course we get a lot of laughs in the story - but there’s definitely an emotional undercurrent that really gives depth to Milo and Jill’s tale. There were so many things about this story that made me happy and I honestly feel a bit bereft now that the story is over. I enjoyed every single second of this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a satisfying, funny and heart-warming romance. 5 stars.

Sylvie’s stories crack me up.
Oh man.
Matt and Amanda did a fabulous job narrating this story.
I was almost crying with laughter at some of the bickering between Milo and Jill.
Absolutely hilarious.
Although, there were some sweet and sincere moments between them. These seemed to hit harder because of the tension and uncertainty between the two of them. And don’t even get me started about Mrs. Von Trapp lady 🤣
It was nice to see some of the characters from previous books make an appearance, I always love when that happens.
Great listening.

Wonderful Story & Narration🎧An Enjoyable Delight!
Sylvie Stewart pens another delightful romantic comedy set in her “Carolina Kisses” series and I loved every minute of it, from her wonderful writing style to the fabulous characters and storylines she created to the perfectly cast narrators who bring it all to life from the pages to your ears. The story swept me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and captivating it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, relatable, easy to connect with and care about, I adored the two lead characters, Milo Papatonis and Jill Holloway. Milo inherited his father’s beach house, life has not always been easy for him and not all went as planned, he suffers chronic pain from an old injury but none of it has stopped him from helping others when they were in need, including taking in his teenage niece, Felicity. Jill is at a crossroads and is trying to figure her life where she is in life and where she wants to go. Driving aimlessly, she finds herself in the same Carolina beach town her family vacationed in when she was younger, only this time broke and a car that won’t start. She has the car towed but the outlook for the car is not very good, so she plans on staying, getting a job and saving up for another car. She sees a help wanted sign in the window of a restaurant and applies for the job, it is an interesting and uniquely named and themed restaurant, the owner is on the eccentric side. She stays at a seedy hotel and attempts to find a place to rent for her short-term stay. And with the universe working against her at the moment, she is face to face with him again, Milo, the one she vowed to hate forever. Wow, you could cut the tension between those two with a knife, each gave as good as they got, Milo the grump and the take no crap Jill stood her own. But the one thing that was apparent was that there was still something between them and the chemistry was undeniable. This is a beautifully written and plotted second chance romantic comedy, and the story contains the perfect balance of drama, angst, humor and witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions and a meant to be romance. Sylvie Stewart thank you for another wonderful story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride, Milo and Jill’s journey to their HEA was a great one.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful narration, Amanda Stribling and Matt Hicks are mega talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit that character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and just as I pictured the character to sound. Amanda Stribling’s Jill was perfection, she grasped all her strength’s as well as her no crap attitude when warranted, her timing was impeccable too. Matt Hicks played the perfect Milo as well, angst, grumpiness and all. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with ease and landed the humor effortlessly, never missing a beat. Thank you for another wonderfully entertaining listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your work.

Book 2 standalone
It took me a little bit for this book to catch my attention but when it did I was hooked. I enjoyed this story. It tells about the past but it is very clear when we are in the past or present, so that was good. I enjoyed these characters. I liked that Milo wasn’t “perfect” he was injured and has visible scars. The narration is great. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession

Story
It was one freaking kiss with a stranger. I wasn't looking for a hero the day Brent Eden charged into my life. He saw a damsel in distress facing humiliation. We played pretend. Swore I was his. Baited sweet chaos. Blew apart everything. My dating disaster? Gone. Our kiss? Electric. Divine. Toe-curling. His mistake? Oh, boy. Dropping the ultimate F-bomb: fiancée. Especially when my gossipy cousin tells the whole family.

Story
“I’m a virgin. And you need to relieve me of that.” What respectable guy could say no to that? Yeah, she was my best friend. But she was also the hottest chick I’d ever known. I thought it would be simple. I thought we’d have a good time, then pretend like it never happened. It turns out, I was an idiot. Now, she wants nothing to do with me, but I’m determined. I’ve spent the last five years without her, and I refuse to waste another day.
