Old Flames, New Beginnings

Maisey is Brooke’s little sister we met Brooke in Tempting Brooke’s book.
Maisey’s old flame comes back to town and they kindle a relationship. It’s a sweet story and fits with the Big Sky books.

I really don’t have anything profound to say.

I enjoyed the narration a lot Teddy and Savannah just work well together.

Couldn't finish

This story had the elements of a great romance book: good length, dual POV, interesting premise but the the execution did not work. The writing was not good for me and listened to one hour and the story felt too long and the dialogue too immature. I couldn't finish it.

Whoa, Just Don’t

I love Teddy Hamilton, Savannah Peachwood, not so much. This story was boring and Peachwood’s narration was totally annoying so don’t waste your time.

A short, sweet second chance romance

I have been excited to get Maisey’s story since Tempting Brooke. She is Brooke’s sister and owner to cake shop next to her flower shop. Maisey has a fierce, strong independent personality. It is clear from the moment she spots Tucker back in town she has some serious unresolved feelings towards him and their past. Tucker, a NFL star is back in Cunningham Falls 10 years after he left, breaking Maisey’s heart by leaving her and ending their teenage relationship. He has some serious making up to do to get back in her good graces. The chemistry and heat between these two was incredible. I couldn’t get enough. Monica Murphy has written a beautiful second chance love story and devoured it in one sitting. I cannot wait to read more by this author in the future. This is a super short novella and the only flaw is how quickly in ended. Would have loved a bit more of these characters.

Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton are talented narrators and perfectly cast for this short story.

4 STARS

Tucker and Maisey

Letting go of the past isn’t always easy. This was a heartfelt, sweet, and heartwarming journey to go in with Tucker and Maisey. I enjoyed this story.
Teddy Hamilton is my all time favorite, he is always fantastic. Savannah Peachwood is another favorite, she certainly knows how to become the character.

Bad

I felt like the heroine gave in too easy and too soon. The guy broke her heart and when they met years later he acted as if nothing had happened. He broke up with her when he finished high school, and went to college where he slept around, while the girl stayed in town and built her cake shop.
And, while they were apart, the guy didn't even think about her, but at some point in book he says that he was always in love with her.
He never even apologized or did anything to get her forgiveness. He just shows up, they hook up, and suddenly they're madly in love.
Both narrators were really good.
I would not recommend this to anyone.

Short

Story was good, but way to short. Would have liked to have more details once they decided to try again.

Nothing Without You

This is too sweet. And I didn't enjoy listening to different narrators with different chapters. The characters didn't get my attention. I was able to go into another room and not miss anything in the story line. The beginning talked about him leaving her and how angry she was with him. His excuse was that he wanted to screw all the different females and didn't want to be tied down. Not even five chapters they are changing their minds. And not even half way thru they are together. Not the type of story I enjoy. And the different narrators doing both male and female voices in one chapter detracted from the story. Won't listen to another like this.

Ridiculous waste of time

Not sure which of the main character I liked less. The pompous full of himself man who ditched the love of his life or the spineless woman who took him back. Neither has any redeeming qualities. Save your ears and time.

very PG

the story was really good the build-up was good but it was so PG that it kind of took away from the book...
