Fun and exciting

Awesome story and great narration. Love the characters and story lines in Stacy Eaton’s books.

Heartfelt

Remarkable book that lodges itself in your heart!! Emotional story that can relate to in some aspects. Love conquers all.

Beautiful Story

I really enjoyed taking this journey with Roan and Finley. Their story is sweet and full of passion.
Finley is a wonderful character. She’s beautiful inside and out. Finley is also very intelligent. Unfortunately, she suffered abuse for many years and has no idea how incredible she is.
Roan is a widower and father of one amazing son. He lost the only woman he ever loved years ago. Roan doesn’t believe he could ever love another as
much as he loved his late wife.
When the two meet the connection is instantaneous. Their road had a few bumps but together they help each other move forward and heal.
I absolutely loved how their story interconnects with Chris and Robin’s.
I’m excited to find out what happens next.

Sweet story

Finley comes to work for Robin at Heart of the Family Catering. Finley meets widower Roan and they both are attracted to each other. Too bad Finley thinks he is a lowlife cheating on his fiancé. This is just the beginning of misunderstandings between them.
Great characters and storyline.

Love and Friendship

Audiobook Review…I usually listen to books that I have read before so that I am familiar with the story. I have not read Roses & Champagne so this was a new-to-me story. Lisa Beacom did an amazing job of telling Stacy Eaton’s story and making it come alive as I listened.
eBook Review…Love, friendships, new opportunities are some of the amazing storylines woven together to make one amazing book. Abuse, death, and cheating are also found within the story but they are written in with care and respect. The difficult topics make good things even more wonderful.

Finley is a tough character. She is all woman but she doesn’t need a man. She does not even want a man but she has one. She has Roan, whether she wants him or not. Roan, he is all man. Tough, sexy, protective, and alpha. When life gets complicated for Finley, Roan steps in to keep her safe and of course falls in love with her. I loved this. They both needed someone in their lives who would respect and love them for who they were. Both Finely and Roan had pasts that were holding them back and they needed to be able to get past that to find their HEA. Together they showed that anything was possible and that all they needed was a good person in their life to make their world better.

The widower & the fair maiden

This story ‘stars’ Finley...Robin Landry’s friend and employee. Finley is on the run from her abusive ex but seems to have finally found friends in the small town. She enjoys working at Robin’s catering company. When Robin has an unfortunate accident, Finley has to take over planning a wedding for a bridezilla. After a misconception is cleared up, she finds herself falling for the brother of the groom. Roan Waterman, widower, single dad & ex-model, is helping his twin’s fiancée plan their wedding when he meets Finley. Sparks fly and the pair embark on a tentative relationship. Can they survive the shadows from Finley’s past? Will Roan allow himself to love again or will the pain of losing his wife be a stumbling block for an HEA? Great story, great characters and great narration. I am really enjoying this series.

A great addition to the series

I thoroughly enjoyed the audio of book one in this series, and have to say, this one was also very good.
In the previous story we met in passing Finley Parker and Roan Waterman.
Finley works in Robin Landry’s catering business. Roan is the father of Robin’s step-son best friend. A man that has been a widower for over 6 years and is ready to open his heart once again. The person that he has eyes for is Finley.
But Finley believes she’s not enough for him. As the story progresses, Roan is determined to show Finley that they are meant to be together.
Things get complicated when discoveries of her past are revealed, her life is in danger and to make matters worse, she overhears a conversation that has her confused and unsure on how she should handle it.
The story was engaging from beginning to end and I am looking forward not only to the next audio in the series, but also hope that we get some insight on how these two are doing.

Great

After years of being alone and thinking you will be that way for always, life blossoms. This was a great story. All the characters were well thought out and go together well. The storyline was interesting and kept my interest through the whole thing. I enjoy the narrator she made it come to life. I received it as a gift and this is my voluntary review. I recommend this author to all!

Book 2 - Heart of the Family

I really loved the characters in this read / listen. The narration was a little stilted at times but was easy to follow and I enjoyed the tone change when "being" different characters. I loved the continuation from book 1 and although this is book 2 it can be read as a stand alone but I'm glad I'm reading / listening to these in order. I also loved the twists and turns the story line took - I hated that Finley had such low self esteem but she also came across as a real character with real flaws so I really appreciated that as well and hot twins - yes please! This story had laugh our loud moments as well as gasps of surprise, some heat and heart warming moments all blended in a wonderful flowing storyline!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
