Publisher's summary

Jenny Dawson moved to Nashville to write music, not get famous. But when her latest record goes double platinum, Jenny's suddenly one of the town's biggest stars - and the center of a tabloid scandal connecting her with a pop star she's barely even met. With paparazzi tracking her every move, Jenny flees to a remote mansion in Louisiana to write her next album. The only hiccup is the unexpected presence of a brooding young caretaker named Noah, whose foul mouth and snap judgments lead to constant bickering - and serious heat.

Noah really should tell Jenny that he's Preston Noah Maxwell Walcott, the owner of the estate where the feisty country singer has made her spoiled self at home. But the charade gives Noah a much-needed break from his own troubles, and before long, their verbal sparring is indistinguishable from foreplay. But as sizzling nights give way to quiet pillow talk, Noah begins to realize that Jenny's almost as complicated as he is. To fit into each other's lives, they'll need the courage to face their problems together before the outside world catches up to them.

Critic reviews

"I couldn't read this fast enough! Lauren Layne created witty and well-developed characters who pulled at my heartstrings and had me falling in love over and over again! I highly recommend Good Girl, one of my favorites of the year!" (Brooke Cumberland, USA Today best-selling author)

Listen to this audiobook!

I absolutely loved the story! It was so adorable, sweet and truly funny. I laughed out loud so many times and rewound the audiobook just to listen to certain parts again. I love the two protagonists in the story. I want to be friends with Jennie, and I want Noah to be my handyman. 😂

This is the first time I have heard Loretta and Eric as narrators. Larreta perfected Jennie’s voice. They made this book even more amazing than if you were to have read it by yourself. I wish they didn’t have as many F bombs, but like Jennie says in the book, it doesn’t sound as bad when it’s coming from a southern voice. 😊

Listen to this audiobook!

....

Feels like the main character was modeled after Taylor swift but other than that great read

Not my favorite but okay

I love most of Lauren’s books. This one was slower than most. I kept waiting for it to kick off but it just rolled on like a slow rainy day.

Feminist Grade:A

loved the book! didn't really have issues with it which is rare for me! good book to read on rating days

Love this story

I enjoyed this storyline. I enjoyed the narrator will check out more by this author

Worth it!

I almost passed this by, but decided to give it a chance. I am so glad I did. it is a perfect mix of cute and sexy!

Feisty!!!

Noah and Jenny are two of the feistiest souls! They are cute and sweet but bullheaded when need be! sexy sexy!!

Such an entertaining listen and read

This was such a pleasant surprise. The dialogue between Him and Her was sassy, witty and entertaining. Loved Vaughn and Finn not to mention Dolly and Ranger. Such a pleasure to read an entertaining book with an HEA. Try the audible too. It brings the characters to life and when you need to do other things, you can continue with the story by listening. Recommend you try both.

Ended too quickly.

Overall the story was good, enjoyable. I generally liked the characters and how they interacted. However, I felt that the character development was a bit slow and once they were fully established the story just ended. Unless she's setting up for a sequel, this book needs like 3 more chapters.
I will say that their little exchanges with the weird leering and forced intimacy gave me pause. But they were addressed in the context and I guess I can't project how I would react to those situations into the characters.

Sweet and Sassy!

Loved this one! the narrators are excellent and the storyline made sense, unlike some others. I liked that Jenny's strong character is consistent throughout the book.
