The Buy-In

Love Stories in Sheet Cake Sweet Rom Com Series, Book 1

De: Emma St. Clair

Narrado por: Stephanie Rose, Rock Engle

"You can't Schitt's Creek a town, Tank."

"And you can't verb a noun, son."

When a family of former pro football players buy a small Texas town, they didn't intend to start a war with its residents...or to fall in love.

Ever since his career-ending injury, Pat has bounced from job to job, idea to idea, short-lived relationship to short-lived relationship. But when his father purchases the town of Sheet Cake, Pat suddenly sees his life with clear purpose: get his brothers on board with his dad's wild idea and win back the one woman who got away.

Lindy was supposed to be traveling the world, not stuck in a small town, caring for her niece. But she would do anything to keep custody of Jo, even if that looks like a marriage of convenience with the man who already broke her heart once.

Now, if she can only keep herself from falling back in love with her husband...

This is a small town, marriage of convenience romantic comedy with plenty of sizzle while keeping the bedroom door closed. It's the first in a spinoff series following Harper's brothers (from Falling for Your Best Friend). You don't need to have listened to the Love Clichés series first to enjoy this book.

4.5 Fun story

I found myself looking for excuses to listen. I especially liked the football game. 😏

What is the best deal you’ve ever gotten for your investments?

Pat’s dad bought a town! Even better it is the town his ex girlfriend lived in. Tank said he bought the town for his family, is there a chance Pat and Lindy could be a family? What about Jojo? Who will she live with?

Cute

From the first southern accent to the end. Very cute. Delightful. Feel good. A lot of great characters.

great story, incredible narration

loved this book and all the characters. the narrators really brought it to the next level

FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a clean book, this book sure has a lot of passion. Which I like because although I don't like reading/listening to graphic sex scenes, why can't 'clean' books contain passion??

All’s well that ends well??

I believe that I might have enjoyed the story more if there was a different female narrator. It seemed as if she was trying to channel Mae West. ADHD may be more desirable than I thought. After all, Pat was able to coach football, complete 1/3 of a long “to do” list, and remodel a two bedroom loft while shopping for all kinds of items and cooking. THERE WAS SOME education about Autism, ADHD, self-destructive behavior.

cute and squeaky clean

Amusing. Fit for very young readers. Female lead held on to her gudge way too long. I live in the area the book is set in. The narrators accents were terrible!

Hilarious and sweet story with great voice actors

I loved The Buy-In as a book and possibly even more as an audiobook! The voice actors are absolutely perfect for Pat and Lindy’s characters.

Good story!

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in this series. Good characters and plot line.

I enjoyed the storyline, the narration not so much

I enjoyed the story for the most part. It was nice to catch up with the characters from the previous book. I also like that we get to see into the heads of both the guy and the girl so things aren’t so one sided. I also like the twist of how they got together. The narration detracted from the script. If I hadn’t been so OCD about finishing the book, I would have quit early. The continual repetition of the marvelous physical attributes of the “male lead”, extolled in a snarky voice was irritating, and made me disrespect the girl. It was in most respects a clean novel, but all the sweating and heavy breathing every other scene, even though they restrained themselves from going too far, was off putting. The one thing I did appreciate was the emphasis on good communication being key in any relationship. A lot of heartache could be avoided if only hard conversations were not avoided but attacked head on.
