Publisher's Summary

I don’t want him. I can’t do this. That’s what my ex said after our son was born, leaving me a single dad.

These days, my world consists of two things: Noah and my bar. Until her - the woman I want - but can never have. My ex’s sister wasn’t supposed to be stirred into the mix.

Even though I try to push her away, my son falls in love with her. As much as I want to keep my distance, I can’t break his heart.

Lines become blurred, and fighting our attraction becomes nearly impossible. Even though we know it’s wrong, desire doesn’t always fade away. As soon as we cross that line, nothing will be the same and everything will fall apart. And it does.

Narration needs work, but storyline was good

I enjoyed the storyline throughout the book. But the narration made me lose interest.

Devoured so fast - must listen/read

Cohen is a single dad of the sweetest little boy Noah. Noah’s mom
Is no longer in the picture but a random chance encounter brings her sister Jamie into the picture again.
However Noah has no clue Jamie is his aunt just thinks she is Georgias (Cohens sister) “friend”.

Jamie has always had a thing for Cohen but he was always off limits because of her sister. And now Cohen is developing those same feelings but has the same off limits idea flashing in his mind.

These two have this tension that’s unbelievable however they are so natural together. There’s so many obstacles in their way and I just love how they overcome them.

I listened to it on audio and found the narrators easy to follow along with and capture the story well for me. I found myself stopping what I was doing at times and just being completely captivated by the events of the story. I can’t wait to continue on with the Twisted Fox series.

Loved the book

It’s a good story but I do not like the female narrator. Get voice is just too…I can’t even think of the right word. But I did love the book.

Good story but. . .

Overall it was a good story. My biggest complaint , I don't want to be mean or hurt anyone's feelings but I can't stand Lacy Laurels voice as a narrator. I didn't realize she was the female narrator until after I already bought the book. Otherwise I would have skipped it. I've heard her narrate before and it's like listening to someone with a bad head cold speaking in a high whining voice.
It could just be me but her narrating ruins the story. It has before and it did again.

Loved this!!

Book 1 in the new Twisted Fox series and it was such a great start. Single dad with a forbidden romance theme was all I needed to see to know that I wanted to listen this story. Jamie and Cohen stole my heart and had me rooting for them the entire time I listened to their story. They had some much history between them and not all of it was good. When he needed help for his son, Jamie was the one who ended up helping him. They started to slowly navigate around each other and get to know each other again and that was they needed to help get over the past. The chemistry and attraction between them was so intense.

No matter how much chemistry and attraction, will they be able to find the HEA they both need or will there be something or someone standing in the way of happiness? You will have to listen to find out. Highly recommend this listen. The narrators are new to me but they did a great job bringing Jamie and Cohen to life.

Loved it!!

“Looks like it’s just you and me against the world, buddy.”

I’ve been waiting for Cohen’s book! There’s nothing sexier than a single father who has his sh!t together!! Add in a little forbidden romance and I’m a goner!! Jamie and Cohen have major chemistry!! I read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down!!

“If anyone is off limits, it’s her.”

Jamie is the little sister of Cohen’s ex. She’s all grown up now and chased her dreams of being a doctor. So what do you do when you accidentally run into the nephew you’ve never met? You plead for a truce with his hot as sin father.

“My heart beats for my son, and I’ll stop anyone from hurting him.”

Cohen has a heart of gold, IF you are in his inner circle. Problem is, he doesn’t open that circle. EVER. (Everyone can thank his sh!tty ex for that.) His top priority is always Noah. *swoons* Letting Jamie back in shouldn’t be a problem, until it is. Will she hold up her end of the deal? Will her conscience get in the way breaking both their hearts??

Narration was on point! Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas did a fantastic job!

Cute and steamy shakes up the heart.

Stirred shakes up the heart while putting the hormones on high alert. Cute and steamy give emotions quite a beating but the beauty of hope never stopped lighting the way.

Loved Cohen, Jamie, AND of Course Noah!

Stirred was a unique story by Charity Ferrell and a great start to the Twisted Fox books. Cohen has been hurt before in a way that makes him hesitant to ever trust someone with his child and his heart ever again. But when he runs into Jamie, his exes sister one night at the hospital she works at, things take a turn that he tries his best to resist.

All Jamie wants is to be in her nephews life, even if that means him not knowing who she really is. But the more time she spends with Noah, the harder it becomes to keep that secret, and even harder to resist his father. She's had a crush on Cohen for years, but definitely feels like she lost out to her sister when he chose her over Jamie.

This book was really well done, especially with a story line that can be sticky at times and difficult to write. The audio version was good, but I did feel there was something missing with the narrators. Still give it 4.5 stars though, and cannot wait for the next story in the series!

I can't imagine navigating a situation like this!

I can not imagine having to deal with a situation where I was in love with my sister's ex. And to make things more complicated, he'd be the father of my nephew. Family relationships can already be somewhat tricky to navigate but in this story, things were taken to a whole other level.

Charity skillfully maneuvered her characters through this impossibly difficult situation and made us feel for Jamie and Cohen.

My only complaint and I realize I'm probably in the minority, is that there was too much use of curse words. Maybe it sounds more realistic to some people to hear those words so often, but to me, it was jarring each time, and somewhat distracting because I kept wishing they wouldn't say it.

Otherwise a great story that I would recommend to everyone.

Undecided

I like the story but the narrators voice was hard to listen too. It reminded me of an adult version of Caillou.

Cohen and Jamie!

Fall in love with a single dad, an adorable son and a second chance at happiness for him! Charity Ferrell has a written Stirred, a wonderful story that captured my heart. Cohen was left with a newborn son, Noah, when his girlfriend decided she didn’t want to be a mother. Now in the emergency room, he bumps into her sister, Jamie and now life as they know it is about to change. Building relationships and family, finding your way to your own happiness and understanding life as it is meant to be all come full circle. Cohen is an amazing dad, very protective and knows his own heart. Jamie is loving, and has great instincts but is conflicted. And Noah steals the show with his fun and enthusiasm. It’s heartwarming, and addicting, investing my heart in their happiness.

Lacy Laurel and Gregory Salinas narrate the story to perfection. I love this team! Laurel is amazing as Jamie. She is the perfect mix of confident and insecure, trying to find herself. We could feel her love and her conflict. Salinas nails Cohen. The over protective dad and loving boyfriend, he brings us all the feels and makes us fall for him. Their voices complement each other and give an entertaining performance.

Cohen and Jamie!

It’s been five years since Cohen’s ex-girlfriend Heather gave birth to their son Noah and than left to pursue the life she wanted to live with no concern about those she left behind. Cohen was determined to ensure that nothing or no one would hurt his son so he refused to allow her family into their lives until a medical emergency changes everything.

Jamie is not only Heather’s sister but a doctor as well. She didn’t agree with what Heather did but she has also crushed on Cohen for as long as she can remember. She wants to be part of Noah’s life and is determined to prove to Cohen that she would never hurt him or his son. Noah has fallen in love with Jamie and isn’t long before the father does as well but when the past resurfaces will it bring them closer or tear them apart?

This is a story about love, family, healing from the past and it definitely has all the feels. The narrators did a great job with both the emotion of the story and the characters.

Great Listening

Ok... so, normally I wouldn't be interested in a sibling's ex story- but since it's a Charity Ferrell book I thought I would chance it.
And boy, am I glad that I did.
It's super sweet.
The sexual tension-the want and the longing- made it absolutely riveting.

Single dad? Yes, please!
Awesome secondary characters? Check.
Do I want their stories as well? Also check.

Lacy and Gregory did a great job with narration.
