Strung Along

Cherry Peak, Book 1

By: Hannah Cowan

Narrated by: Stefanie Kay, Zachary Webber

Love. Sucks.

I don’t know where I went wrong. Whether it was letting a man convince me that suddenly, the things I’ve never wanted are right for me, or if simply believing the best in the person who I wasted three years of my life on was what lead me here.

To Cherry Peak. A small town nestled in the heart of Alberta, Canada.

The hometown of rising country star, Brody Steele.

It only takes one brief encounter to mark him as a broody jerk. An all-knowing, arrogant celebrity with a complex I don’t have the energy for.

But if I truly dislike him the way I’ve convinced myself I do, then why am I always looking for him in crowded rooms? Why are his surprisingly thoughtful gestures melting the wall of ice I’ve stuck between us?

Cherry Peak was supposed to be my fresh start, a place to heal and rebuild. Yet, just as I begin piecing my life back together, Brody’s preparing to leave, as if he hasn’t become a vital part of that journey.

The thought of losing him keeps me up at night. I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to find our footing, or if we were just stringing each other along the whole time.

OMG! Elsie Silver fans rejoice!

The narrators were great and the story is AMAZING. Do not pass this awesome book by!

My favorite Slow Burn!

I originally read this in EBook format and when the audio was released I knew I HAD to re read it!!

The narration was top notch. Both narrators really fit my idea of the characters and really brought Brody and Anna’s story around full circle for me.

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me online knows the obsession I have for anything written by Hannah Cowan. Every single new book she writes just solidifies my love for her creations more and more.

I didn’t think anyone would top Noah & Tiny for me but boy was I incredibly wrong!

Anna & Brody were PERFECT!!
I’m not usually a fan of slow burns, I usually avoid them but this was truly worth ALL of the waiting!

I loved all of the characters and the way Brody treated Anna, totally swooned over him and all of his gentleman tendencies.

Also, the truck scene is absolutely living rent free in my head still🥵

5/5⭐️
2/5🌶️

Wholesome Romance

I loved this story and the slow burn romance, while not my style of storyline was fun. I loved the male narrator but didn’t like the female.

Country Singer meets the new town hair stylist

When Annalise catches her fiancé cheating on her, she decides she’s taking back her life and going to be independently strong. Moving to a small town, she starts working and ends up making friends. First time having someone she can depend on. One day she’s trying on bridesmaids dresses and she to the wedding she’s attending had a strict outfit policy, she sends a picture of her in the dress to the wedding planner. When she gets a message back she realizes she sent it to the wrong number. (Annalise ends up becoming friends with the guy she texted and they banter off of each other.)

Brody is back and helping on his family’s property while he’s healing his vocals, due to injuring them. He’s grumpy and his friends take him to the local bar. At the local bar, he is introduced to Annalise. She’s star struck but Brody is a jerk and she’s instantly turned off.

Brody one day spots Annalise at the store and offers her a ride home. She gives in because she’s freezing and doesn’t want to walk the snow. He offers to bring and pick up every day for work. Over time Brody and Annalise realize the person they’re texting is the each other!

I loved that when the walls between these two came down, their true pure feelings were able to shine!

Cute small town romance

This was a really cute story! I loved main character Brody, and even better that he was read by one of my favorite narrators!
