Great Narration decent plot

Lance is an ex military doctor who returns home to help run his mother’s clinic after she dies in a car accident. Avery, a private investigator and Lance’s ex girlfriend, comes across the accident and begins to suspect foul play. As Lance digs deeper, he discovers someone has been stealing opioids from the clinic’s pharmacy. While investigating his mother’s death and dealing with threats and close calls, Lance and Avery begin to rekindle their relationship.

This was a great and easy listen. Even though I figured out the plot early on, the story was still well written and enjoyable. It was nice to listen to something engaging without feeling like I needed to constantly rewind to catch important details. I will definitely continue the series.

The narration is where this audio truly shines. This was my first time listening to Tiffany Vanlandingham and she did an amazing job. She brought so much emotion into the story and really made the characters feel alive. Her tone fit every scene perfectly and she gave each character a clear and consistent voice, which made the transitions smooth and easy to follow. Her pacing was strong from start to finish and the production was clean with no noticeable breaks or rerecorded segments. It was a seamless listening experience.

Overall, I loved this audio. The mix of mystery and rekindled romance made for a heartfelt story, and the narration elevated the entire experience. Tiffany is now on my list of top female narrators and I will absolutely be looking for more of her work. I cannot wait to continue this series.

Great new series!

Love the new series. AJ Rivers does a great job pulling readers in with her interesting storylines and engaging characters. Looking forward to the next book!

A gripping small-town mystery with heart and heat!

When a tragic accident claims his mother’s life, Lance returns to Juniper Springs to temporarily run her clinic—only to collide with the woman he never thought he’d see again. Avery, now a lawyer and private investigator, was at the scene the night his mother died… and the details aren’t adding up.

The deeper Avery digs, the more it’s clear this wasn’t a simple accident. The suspense kept me hooked from start to finish, and the slow-burn tension between Lance and Avery added the perfect touch of romance. I listened to the audiobook, and both narrators were fantastic—they brought the mystery, emotion, and chemistry to life. Highly recommend giving this one a listen!
