Busy Bean Series

De: L.B. Dunbar

Narrado por: Tor Thom, Tieran Wilder

Who does that sexy silver fox think he is, sitting in her spot in the Busy Bean Cafe?

Over 40, with zero filter, Rita Kaplan loves her coffee, her hiking boots, and her law practice. Life hasn't always been carefree, though, and Rita's past holds the scars of poor decisions after deep loss. She survived, though, and no smirky silver fox is going to get in the way of her happiness. Even if he knows how to use his drill, screwdriver, and every other tool in his box to tempt her....

Former arson investigator Jake Drummond could add ex-con to his resume if he had one. Instead, he's serving the final year of his sentence on probation. This involves mandatory AA meetings, hosted by a feisty local attorney, and working on a renovation project, supervised by the same annoyingly attractive whirlwind, who also believes she owns the exclusive rights to a comfy couch in his new favorite coffee shop. Soon she's everywhere, including the few places she shouldn't be - like in his bed and in his heart.

Can opposites lower their walls and construct something everlasting...or will their connected past lead to demolition for two hearts in need of a rebuild?

Contains mature themes.

Good

Enjoyed Rita and Jake, though the lack of conclusion with the real culprit for the fire was… frustrating for me. I have a strong sense of justice, so it rankled not to have the outcome I expected! Open door, 🌶️🌶️.5.

Everything stood out as wonderful, exceptional & outstanding!!

Everything is exceptional, likable, cohesion incl. characters, compelling, original storyline, narrators with superbly original fine casting!!

beautiful book!!!

I love this book so much! Complex and well-written characters, addictive plot, fast-paced, wise, poignant, romantic, sexy, sweet! Excellent narrators too! I'm going to listen to it more than once!!!

Heart Warming

So heart warming. So filled with hope and second chances. Best one yet in this series!

Rita and Jake

Great narration - no issues

I enjoyed reading this. A bit of a redemption story for Jake (and his brother Nolan). I didn't really relate as much as I probably should to the over 40 main characters - and lord knows I don't want to read books about people my age (haha).

Rita and Jake couldn't resist one another - even if she was technically his supervisor for his parole assigned job.

Finding out how Jake ended up taking the fall and doing the time was interesting - I wonder if the rest of that story comes out in another book?

Likeable main characters. Story moves along nicely and resolves without an excessive amount of dramatics.

Sweet Scale: 3/3
Spicy Scale: 3/5
