On Borrowed Time

Blossom Peak, Book 2

By: Harlow James

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin

Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasn’t the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.

But showing Henley Clark my bare backside wasn’t in my plans either.

When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.

I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.

But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldn’t resist his plea.

Or his massive physique—the one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.

The problem with living together though is there’s little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that he’s like a nut I want to crack open.

And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungs—and reignites my creativity as well.

But I gave myself a deadline to figure out what’s next.

Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.

Turns out the heart doesn’t care, even when you’re on borrowed time.

Just yes!!!

Harlow James is amazing! I am absolutely loving this series. She has written such a fantastic, heartfelt story for Elodie and Henley. I’m a big fan of single-dad romances, and this one was no exception—it was tender, emotional, and completely swoon-worthy. My heart was so full after finishing this book, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!💜💙

“She’s the sunshine pulling the darkness from my soul.”

I absolutely loved this story. Elodie and Remy are completely adorable together, and Henley's growth was just beautiful. The narration was also top-tier. I will never get tired of listening to Daddy Connor, he nails it every single time. And Vanessa Edwin did a great job as Elodie as well.

I really enjoyed how both characters grew and found their way. Even though one could say he didn't completely do it for the right reasons, I loved the fact that Henley didn't ask Elodie to stay, and I also loved how she found a way to get both her dream of working in the music industry and the family she fell in love with.

Quote: “Everything with this girl is tilting my world on its axis, and even though I feel completely off balance, I feel like I’m learning a new way to stay upright too—the one that involves being able to lean on someone and trust them completely.”

Great series

On borrowed time is book two in the Blossom Peak series. It follows Elodie and Henley! I really enjoyed this one! Harlow James never disappoints! Elodie and Henley were everything and more! Elodie came into Henley’s life at the perfect time! She was so amazing with Remy and Henley was a goner seeing Elodie with his daughter.

Henley’s past broke my heart but it definitely makes sense with how he was with everyone and especially when it came to relationship. It was so nice to see him finally open up to Elodie!

Their friend group was amazing! They all cared for each other and it was so nice to see all the support they had for each other especially the guys! You don’t see guys seek therapy much and that was nice to hear! The girls taking in Elodie so quickly was so beautiful to see!

The audiobook was narrated in duet form by Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais. These two were the absolute perfect choice for Elodie and Henley! Vanessa had definitely made her way to my list of favorite narrators! You can never go wrong with Connor! I definitely recommend this audiobook!

Loved Henley and Elodie

This book exceeded my expectations. The narrators Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin were an amazing duo. Their performance was flawless and utterly perfect. They knocked it out of the park with this one. Their tone and pitch was on point. I couldn't get enough of this story. And getting to listen to it while reading took it to a whole other level. It is an addictive story that I couldn’t stop listening to and reading. I'm amazed by this beautiful heartfelt read. It's flawlessly written with wonderful characters. Loved Henley and Elodie. These two were incredible. And there's so much growth between them that happens over the course of the story. You'll want to read this especially if you like small town romance with a single dad, a nanny, and emotional healing. It's a book that I highly recommend.

Female narration

I could not finish listening to the book due to the female narrator. Absolutely the worst I have ever heard. And it’s too bad because I like Conner. Money waisted!!!!!
