The Billionaire Is Back

By: Kayley Loring, Connor Crais

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Samantha Brentmoor

Length: 11 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's summary

People in this small town are whispering…
What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.
What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.
What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.

Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.

I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.
And what I want is her.

Whenever Kayley and Connor team up I always know I’m going to be captured right into the story!! This book was just such an easy romcom to listen to from start to finish! There was humor, banter, sexy kitchen spice, amazing chapter titles, billionaire moments, lobster races and all the small town vibes I love!

Claire always had a crush on Grady as kids but when she made her move one day he denied her. Not only was she his best friend’s sister but he was also leaving town to pursue the career path he wants in New York City. Twelve years later and news brings Grady back to the small town in Maine that he grew up in. Claire now has her own bakery and is just getting by. What happens when the billionaire that she’s mad at comes back into town and all those feelings come rushing back??

As always Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor did a phenomenal job narrating this audiobook with a dual narration. They voices blend so well together and both of them do an incredible job adding all the sounds from sighs, to chuckles to even the voice chance when they both were talking with toothbrushes in their mouths! Those little details make an audiobook feel even more realistic and I LOVE it!!

There is a good amount of spice and plenty of humor as well! Plus. lobster racing! The narration by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor is always amazing 🔥❤️

Better than most

The author does a great job of telling the story of them meeting and being apart and getting together.
It’s a believable story that is wonderfully illustrated and it’s a nice easy listen where you can cheer for love without too much fast forwarding for those of us who aren’t interested in “Penthouse Forum”

Made my heart so happy! 😍

5 ⭐️ I will immediately buy anything written by these two! They can write such heart warming hilarious books! I loved everything about this book it’s a small town billionaire brothers best friend which are my personal favorite tropes. The narration was as always on point with Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor. If these two are narrating I will almost always buy it love them.

The story line and the narrators

I loved all of it ; Kayley and Connor are such amazing great writing team. I laughed and cried and enjoyed every word of this book

Small Town Quirks, Big City Kinks

This newest release by the dynamic duo, Kayley Loring and Connor Crais, really ties together three of my favorite tropes!

As Claire’s brothers’ best friend and future billionaire, Grody Borber(which TOTALLY should have caught on!) Eh-Hmm- Grady Barber - begins at a sort of end in the small town of Beacon Harbor.

This story is filled with delicious puns, THE PERFECT S’MORE, Lobster Races, and epic acronyms that will have you snort laughing your way through the story! Claire and Grady absolutely bring the heat, to the kitchen and a few other places..

With the Crabbiest and most entertaining secondary character and loving but sometimes embarrassing family members, the first in the Beacon Harbor series snarkily delivers; sassy banter, charming romance, and hilarious heartwarming moments.

When Grady sets his mind and sexy hand action on Claire, she doesn’t stand a chance!

Connor and Samantha absolutely nailed this sweet and sexy romcom!

Loved It!!

I love it I can't wait for the next one!! Samantha is amazing at her craft. As is Connor. Now I think I'm going to bake sometime this week. You’ve made me want to be in the kitchen. ❤️❤️

Impressed!!!

I saw Connor Crais as the co-author and I had to listen. Definitely a must read. Funny parts with real life stuff. Looking forward to read more.

Superb!

This is what a rom-com is all about! Funny, sweet, sexy, and a small town full of amazing characters. All the things I love!
Small-town boy turned big-city billionaire Grady has arrived back in Beacon Harbor, ME to help his ailing father. The first thing he does is run into his best friend’s little sister, Claire, the object of his long-distance obsession and admiration for years. And so begins the best banter in the biz. Connor and Kayley have perfected their cadence, and I loved this book madly.
What sent this book into the stratosphere for me was the narrator’s performances by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor. There’s something very special when an author narrates their own book.

Hilarious, hot, and heartfelt romance!

I have a serious craving for dark chocolate and swoony billionaires! The Billionaire is Back by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais is simply the perfect dash of sweet small-town mixed lavishly with all the spicy billionaire! Add in some brother’s best friend, a little pinch of fake dating with twelve years of pining and you have an exquisite recipe for LOVE. (See what I did there?!) I fell hard for Grady and Claire’s delicious love story, and the amusing people and quaint coastal town of Beacon Heights, Maine.

Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in dual narration, and both truly embodied the slow-burning tension between Claire and Grady! Samantha’s sassy sultry tone perfectly conveyed Claire’s vulnerable and passionate persona as she overcame pent-up feelings from the past and gave into slow yearning desires for Grady. Connor’s melodious baritone voice complimented Grady’s confident, charismatic, and determined personality as he gave into temptation and spoiled Claire with all his irresistible billionaire ways. Both Samantha and Connor also blew me away with the various character voices they portrayed including my favorite, Crabby Crawford!

Overall, I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of a small-town romance with a hot hunky billionaire CEO, a sweet and spirited baker, small coastal towns in Maine, s’mores, supportive families, coming home again, lobster races, closing a big deal, NYC fancy galas, slow-burn so good spice, mega yachts, pastry puns, neckties, quirky town folk, vibe fun steam, discovering what truly matters, and a HEA that is the icing on the cake, then you will love Claire and Grady’s story. I always look forward to more from Kayley and Connor!
