We were childhood friends, me and the boy who would grow up to become Hollywood's hottest star. When I was six, I fell for him at the bus stop. When I was 15, he moved away, taking my heart with him. When I was 24, he came back for me, even though I didn't want him. The nine years we spent apart, I tried like hell to fill the void. Apparently, so did he. Instead of being addicted to me, he became addicted to women, drugs, and money.
I'm a reporter, and I've got the best assignment in the world - get dirt on the hottest country star on the charts, Keith Perkins. The sexy beast who rocks those tight jeans like nobody's business. I'm supposed to learn all of his Dirty Laundry, his deepest and darkest secrets. Without sleeping with him. Easy enough, right? Wrong. I mean, just looking at him makes me wonder what those big, rough hands could do to me. With a voice that's one part velvet and one part growl, it's hard for me to sass him when he melts me into a puddle with a single look.

I couldn't have scripted a more perfect night. For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I'm not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine - multimillionaire. But who's counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I've ever met. And that's why I'm eager to get to know her more, since my mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge...bank account. Everything's coming up aces. Until the next day, when things get a little complicated. (Newsflash - a lot complicated.)
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides. First by the team's coach, who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

At 34, I'm reeling from a divorce. I don't want to party or try to move on. I just want to stay home and post a new recipe on my blog: Brynn's Dips and Balls. But my friends aren't having it. Get out there again, they say. It will be fun, they say. I'm still taking a hard pass. Free designer cocktails, they say. And that's a game-changer. Too bad my ex shows up with his new arm candy. That's when I lose my mind.
Have my baby. That was what my single-dad best friend, Seth, said to me while I was waitressing at the diner. His little girl wants a sibling. But Seth is a workaholic millionaire and doesn't have time to meet someone. Someone who won't screw him over, like his kid's mother. Only problem is this someone has secretly been in love with him since high school. I've been hiding it forever, not wanting to risk our friendship.
I'm one puff piece away from tearing up my journalism degree and hurling my laptop into the Hudson River. So when I smell a juicy story brewing at my brother's Wall Street investment firm, I'll do whatever it takes to get my scoop. One clever disguise later, I'm deep undercover as the firm's newest broker, simultaneously gathering intel and spouting off stock tips like a boss. Go me, right? Sure, it sounds good on paper, but there's a catch: the actual boss. Chief Executive Panty-melter Jack Holt is cocky. Infuriating. And one smoldering look has me ready to violate every rule in the employee handbook. Thank God my assignment has an expiration date. Because falling for my brother's best friend and business partner is a lose-lose proposition. Right?
I'll be the first to admit that I live at extremes. After going 10 years locked in what felt like a dysfunctional marriage, I'm now decidedly boy-free. In nearly three years I've had no boyfriends, no flings, no dates, and no sex. For the sake of my dream career, the sacrifice has been easy. At least it was. Until he came along. Lukas Hendricks. He's rude, gorgeous, arrogant - a stone-carved wall of muscle and distraction. He's everything I know to avoid but there's no avoiding your next-door neighbor.
For six generations, the women of wine country have had a saying: don’t bang a Hunter man unless you want a bun in your oven. Yeah, well. I’ve got a saying too: no thanks. The last thing I need is baby makes three. My business is expanding, and the only thing I’m interested in getting knocked up is my bottom line. But then one night, Emma Haverford makes me an offer I can’t refuse - she backs away from the land I have my eye on in exchange for a favor...a big, fat, baby-making favor....
Kyle Sommerville is in hiding and doesn't want to be found by anyone. Certainly not by his quirky, free-spirited neighbor who's managed to push her way past the walls he's built around him. But Jane Cresson's indomitable will and insatiable curiosity about her reclusive neighbor makes it impossible for Kyle to stay immersed in his dark world. Little by little, she claws through his shell. Day by day, she gets him to smile a little more. Night by night, they both find pleasure they never knew existed.

Dear Isaiah, eight months ago, you were just a soldier about to be deployed and I was just a waitress, sneaking you a free pancake and hoping you wouldn't notice that my gaze was lingering a little too long. But you did notice. We spent one life-changing week together before you left, and we said goodbye on day eight, exchanging addresses at the last minute. I saved every letter you wrote me, your words quickly becoming my religion. But you went radio silent on me months ago, and then you had the audacity to walk into my diner yesterday and act like you'd never seen me in your life.
You have the right to remain sexy. Anything you say can and will be used to get you in my bed. You have the right to use my body to give yourself a delirious, life-changing orgasm. If you have trouble...don't worry, I'm a bit of an expert in that department.
She's the tutor I hired to teach me Italian. She's way too young for me, but she's also gorgeous, bright, and filled with a curiosity about life that I find incredibly refreshing. It's f--king adorable. I’m old enough to know better, but this pretty, young thing tempts me beyond belief. And for the first time in my life, I can see myself falling. But is our attraction enough to get us through the complications of a massive age gap and an international love affair? Only one way to find out....
We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.
It's just a docuseries about your career as an OB/GYN, they said. It won't interrupt your life during or after filming, they said. It's a great opportunity for the hospital and your practice, they said. Well, they - the television executives who seem intent on ruining my career and personal life with a fair number of creative liberties - lied. Now I'm stuck dealing with the consequences of believing them. Instead of being known as Dr. Will Cummings, head of obstetrics and gynecology at St. Luke's Hospital, I'm now being called Dr. Obscene.
Wake up and feel the wood! In the first of a series of irresistible standalone romances from New York Times best-selling author Sawyer Bennett, a city girl rediscovers love and lust in the Alaskan wilderness.
Valentine French may be the sassiest dating columnist in New York City, but the abundance of metrosexuals in her adopted metropolis is seriously cramping her style. Where are the beefy all-American boys? Hoping to find some inspiration, Val heads to Alaska, where the men outnumber the women 15 to one and wrestle grizzly bears for sport. Or so she can only imagine. Suddenly the most eligible bachelorette in a town full of horny lumberjacks, Val is writing her best columns ever. But if she doesn't get her nose out of her laptop, she just might miss out on Mr. Right.
Logan Burke is the sheriff of the little podunk town that Val finds so charmingly backward. He's not that different from the guys she's using for her little experiment; it's just that one date would never be enough for Logan. As he listens to Val complain about love over beers in the local tavern, he realizes that she can't see the forest for the trees. Because if she would ever give up her Prada bags and $14 martinis, Logan would give her the only luxury that matters: his heart.
First off I love Sawyer Bennett's style of writing.
I buy her books as soon as they're available because she never disappoints.
This one is low on drama and quite funny.
Of course it's uber hot with detailed bedroom scenes that rock.
It reminds me of the movie new in town with Renee Zellweger only this takes place in Alaska.
When val tires of the metrosexual dating scene in New York there's only one place to go to find a sexy manly man... Merritt Alaska of course where the man to woman ratio is a whole town to two in vals case😄
When cab service is not an option the local chief of police 🚓 Logan steps in to save the day.
Sparks fly and it's just a matter of time before val discovers just how useful Logan's handcuffs really are.
This book is more than just a romance it's packed full of great supporting characters that give a (northern exposure ) kind of feel to the town.
Joe and Maxine did a awesome job portraying the characters.
I would give this funny feel good listen 10 stars if I could.
Give up the credit and start listening immediately!! It's worth it.

My newest fantasy will be moving to Alaska and meeting a mountain man.
Ok, not really but it sure was fun to live in this fantasy world Sawyer Bennett created. Valentine moves to Alaska to blog about dating "real" mean. Not like the type she meets in New York that have better manicures and spend more time looking at themselves than looking at her.
What she doesn't expect is to meet the love of her life. Alaska is not the face paced life she is used to in New York and BEARS, so can she make her life outside the city and when her blog comes back to bite her in the butt... can she be forgiven?
I loved this light hearted book. While completely predictable from the beginning, it still warmed my heart and was so hot and funny and sweet... I loved listening to it.
Maxine and Joe are a power couple and their narration matches wholly. I love when these two pair up.

Rich girl, completely out of her element. Beautiful man (not an a%#@&le).
Turbulent start, fast moving story. Plausible love story, easy listen.
Ms. Bennett does very well with these kind of stories but I don't purchase all of them because she has a formula that she sticks to. Entertaining but basic fluff. I still enjoy them very much.

This audiobook was different than Sawyer Bennett's usual fare. It takes one rather snobby New York woman and transplants her to Alaska, in her quest to contrast her usual metrosexual boyfriends to Alaska's tough men for her blog. This made for entertaining listening and there were some really hot scenes as well as romantic ones. At times I found the heroine hard to relate to, because she seems so out of reality in her way of thinking. Do big city girls really get that cynical? Overall the story was good and the hero rugged and sexy. Good narration by two of the best.

Any additional comments?
I can fully appreciate that this is a smutty little light read and how that's enough for a lot of readers. I wanted to murder Valentine character multiple times, and while it was somewhat refreshing to have a rich, sheltered, city girl who isn't a snob, just naively ignorant yet also willing to learn, I just.. never got the point where I cared about her. At all.Since she is a trust fund baby she can do whatever she wants, and after a suggestion from her cousin, decides to test out the male population in Alaska. Val is probably the most difficult heroine for me to like. I really couldn't find anything redeeming about her other than the fact that she doesn't hide who she is or pretend to be less shallow or egocentric. Val and Logan has no chemistry !I didnt feel any attachment in between them!!!

These two narrators complimented each other perfectly. Their voices added tremendously to the "hotness" factor. Story very well written with a wonderful combination of humor and sensuality within the plot line. My first time listening to this author. I am already to try another in the series!
Normally, Sawyer Bennet writes very engaging characters. Logan was. Val was NOT. When she said she wasn't good enough, she was right.
I am never disappointed by Sawyer Bennett nor these narrators. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell are magic together.
This story is a great city girl vs. rugged man story. I love the banter.
This was an absolutely wonderful read/listen about a New York Socialite, Valentine French, blogger that is tired of the New York metrosexual regular men that she dates and decides that she needs a different scene. So she goes to Alaska where she runs into the chief and tries to meet different people but falls for the chief, Logan Burke. But what happens when the town finds out about the blog. This was so interesting and the chemistry between these two is great. Sawyer Bennett did a great job with another hit.
I can always count on Sawyer Bennett to deliver a irresistibly sweet and sexy book! I loved the smouldering chemistry between Logan and Valentine, as well as the quirky and witty banter between them. This book delivered with the feels and laughs! I listened to the audiobook and the amazing talents of Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell were fantastic at bringing these characters to life!!
