Publisher's summary

Welcome to the world of Whispering Bay romance, where hot heroes and smart heroines collide to find their happily-ever-afters!

When Mimi Grant becomes mayor of Whispering Bay, she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for. Her biggest concern? The city's annual festival is in financial ruin and the former housewife doesn't have a clue how to fix things. But, she's determined to bring the sleepy beachside town into the 21st century.

Hunky Police Chief Zeke Grant isn't happy that his estranged wife Mimi has just become his boss. But for the town's sake, he's willing to swallow his pride and let her order him around - to a point. Everything aside, he doesn't count on someone from his past coming back to haunt him, forcing him to reevaluate what's really important.

While Mimi and Zeke continue to butt heads on how to get things done, there's one thing they can't help but agree on: their chemistry is hotter than ever. However, when a robbery threatens to derail the annual festival, some of the town's residents question Mimi and Zeke's ability to keep Whispering Bay safe - as well as keep their war-torn personal life out of civic business. Mimi and Zeke must team up to solve the crime, and decide once and for all if it's time to move forward with separate lives, or if true love really does conquer all.

That Man of Mine

Deke and Mimi… they’ve been together since they were teens. They made it through teenage pregnancy and school and hardships to only grow apart as their oldest daughter entered her senior year of high school. Through misunderstandings and a deep love of each other they are able to conquer and learn that they can make it as long as they gave each other.

Great book. Loved the narrator- she was really good

Oh Mimi

I literally cried during the last chapter! It was such a great tale, I really enjoyed the surprises!

Light and fun

A nice break from news and chaos for a well performed audible… thx for the escape

loved it

I think the most memorable is the fact that the small town is hit on and living in a small town myself I related to all of it.

3 very enjoyable.....

books so far, read perfect, storyline nicely together, wish more than 1 left in series!

Mimi & Zeke ❤️

Mimi and Zeke are Whispering Bays power couple but Zekes past keeps them apart and on rocky ground. They are the couple everyone roots for to stay together and I enjoyed this story a lot.

Interesting but frustrating

I love the Whispering Bay series, but I actually disliked Mimi. The plot of the story was unique and has many twists and turns but for me all the ridiculousness could have been easily avoided. There were several funny moments but I found Mimi to be such a huge drip. (I could never be her friend). Why? Because...

SPOILER ALERT Below




I found her to be a manipulative game playing wife. I disagreed with almost every decision she made. Her actions were a poor example of unconditional family love. She is judgemental, arrogant and dumb.

Even in her professional life, in the end, she needed her astranged husband to bail her out of the messes she made. These crazy situations originated because she was not a team player. She was more concerned about protecting her ego rather than doing what was best for the town or her family... minus 4 stars for the awful FMC - plus 3 stars for the otherwise well written fun MMC & town characters.

Narration good as usual , although I do reduce my speed for this actor to .85.

This series was amazing!!!!!

The author took relatable everyday life situations and masterfully created a storyline that drew you in each and every book! The characters are everyday people and I for one want to find Whispering Bay and visit just to see if it’s a place I want to live! ♥️

Swoon-worthy!

What did you love best about That Man of Mine?

I enjoyed every single minute of this story! I love the small town atmosphere, the history of Mimi and Zeke's relationship throughout their 18 year marriage and the love they have for each other and their family. I thought the 9-1-1 call had a great ending too!

What did you like best about this story?

I really love the way the author highlights Maggie's relationships with her children, her husband, her mother and sister in law and the fact that she is a extremely intelligent and highly capable woman who also happens to be the mayor of her small town. I enjoy strong woman with vulnerabilities.

Which scene was your favorite?

The 9-1-1 call is definitely my favorite scene! It highlights the frustration of life in a small town but it also celebrates the loving community feeling that demonstrates why small town romance is such a popular genre in romance right now. This book engaged all of my emotions.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Come to Whispering Bay where everybody knows your history and celebrates that history with you, whether you want them to, or not.

Any additional comments?

I love this collaboration of author and narrator and I can't wait to meet more of the citizens in Whispering Bay. I wish I could live there too!

loved it
