The One I Didn't See Coming

Plain Daisy Ranch, Book 3

De: Piper Rayne

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Ava Erickson

It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.

Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.

My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.

He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.

It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

Cute story

I loved the series. Can’t wait for the next book. I was kinda hoping it would be about Bennett. Maybe there will be five books

Oh man

Oh man. I thought for a while there I was gonna hate briar. I didn’t like that briar had a grudge against him. It was so annoying how she seemed to dislike him for no reason. But I’ve been that young woman and I’ve had my heartbroken before so I understood after we found out what happened. The spice was hot. And Emmett is literally a dream come true.

All the Romance!

The Plain Daisy Ranch series is still holding first place in my heart. Briar and Emmett were made for each other.

Loved it!

The One I Didn’t See Coming came right out of the gate with hilarious digs and snarky comments. The dislike and tension between Emmett and Briar pulled me in immediately. Out of options, Briar reluctantly agrees to move into Emmett’s house and it was in that moment Emmett captured my heart.

Emmett is one of my favorite MMC I’ve read in a long time. His caring, attentive, and protective side melted my heart. The way he supported Briar was literally everything. The plot twist, so freaking good!

These two together, my gosh. She changes him in the best ways and he fast so hard to her. Their chemistry was electric and I could not get enough.

If you are looking for a book that will have you laughing on minute, giddy the next, awing in between, and fanning yourself by the end pick this one up immediately.

I could listen to Jason Clarke all day long. He and Ava Erickson delivered an outstanding performance. I loved this story on audio!
