Narrado por: Mollie Stark, Scott Rose

She's built a successful career from the ground up, he's just trying to take care of his son...neither are in the mood for love.

Shiloh Baxter is Lighthouse Bay's best realtor. Her spunky personality and wide smile are part of why she's called the "Friendliest" shop on Main. But when her roommate gets married, leaving her alone...she needs something to take her mind off the loneliness.

Buying a fixer upper was supposed to be easy, but Shiloh quickly realizes she's bitten off more than she can chew. When she calls on her friends to help, they bring along Granger Lowery. A handsome, single dad who seems to have a smile for everyone except Shiloh.

Granger doesn't have time for a pretty face. He trusted one years ago and now he's a single father with medical bills and alimony that are about to take him over the edge. His dwindling bank account is exactly why he took the job Jett McCoy offered, to work on a flipper home, but Shiloh's stunning looks and take-charge attitude and perpetual smile make him regret it immediately.

So when he ends up playing her fake boyfriend to keep a colleague at bay...Granger knows he's in real trouble. How is he supposed to keep his small family intact with Shiloh stealing both Granger's and his son's heart without even trying?

If you enjoy single dads and grumpy/sunshine interactions..."The Friendliest Shop on Main" is for YOU!

Grumpy Sunshine Wholesome Story

The Friendliest Shop on Main is such a cute, wholesome story. I loved Shiloh in the first book so I was happy to get to read more of her story. Granger is a single Dad to Zane and they meet Shiloh at a wedding. At first, Granger judges Shiloh and doesn't like her, but Zane loves her from the start. She is such a big personality compared to Granger's grumpy demeanor. I loved watching their relationship grow into more. Shiloh has a stalker and Granger steps in to help her and his protective nature begins to take over.
The twins, Tate and Jett, are back with their banter! We also get more of Serenity and Luca.
Mollie Stark and Scott Rose did a wonderful job at bringing the characters to life. Both Mollie and Scott had an awesome kid voice for Zane! Mollie was perfect for Shiloh's upbeat, quick witted personality. She also brought out her vulnerability and fear when it came to the stalker. Scott brought out Granger's gruff and grumpy side and shifted easily to his loving, protective side for Zane and Shiloh.
Overall I loved this story. I'm looking forward to the next book of the series!

Love me a single dad story!

Another cute & heartwarming story, the second book in the series. I am a sucker for a grumpy single dad and a sassy sunshine FMC and it didn’t disappoint. I loved that it was romance (sans spice) with a little bit of suspense. If you’re looking for a sweet clean romance this is book for you. Narrated by Mollie Stark and Scott Rose, who both did an amazing job bringing Shiloh and Granger to life.

Cozy wholesome romance!

The Friendliest Shop on Main by Laura Ann is book two in the series and follows Serenity’s best friend Shiloh and single dad Granger.

While the story was sweet overall, it took me a bit longer to settle into this one. The instalove between Shiloh and Granger, especially after their initial friction, felt a little far fetched to me, and I struggled with some of Shiloh’s choices throughout the story. I also didn’t find the antagonist’s motivation particularly believable, which made those moments frustrating rather than tense.

That said, Zane absolutely stole the show. I loved him as Granger’s son, even if he felt more emotionally mature than most kids his age. He brought a lot of heart to the story.

In audio, Mollie Stark and Scott Rose delivered solid performances, though at times I had trouble distinguishing between Mollie’s male and female character voices. But their kid voice was amazing!

Overall, this was a gentle, closed door romance with warm moments, but the execution and character decisions didn’t fully land for me.
