Publisher's Summary

Megan Flannigan wants only two things in life: to run her bakery The Rise and Shine and to avoid the handsome and insufferable officer Caleb Thornton.

Caleb has made her life difficult ever since he arrested her, over a decade ago, and her one wish is that he leaves her alone, while they both continue to deny the attraction that sparks between them every time they meet.

Her wishes are dashed when her bakery is robbed. To make matters worse, Caleb is assigned to the case and he’s the officer charged to protect Megan from a dangerous criminal.

Caleb Thornton decided to become a police officer to atone for a tragic adolescent mistake. As part of the famously rich and privileged Thornton family, he’s always been aware of how he can never measure up to his family’s expectations.

As a result, he follows the letter of the law in both his job and his personal life - except when it comes to the beautiful and fiery Megan. She makes him yearn for something more, and she attracts him as much as she frustrates him. When Caleb is assigned to watch over Megan, he’s forced to reconcile the feelings he’s harbored for her for years. 

But as danger draws closer to Fair Haven, Megan and Caleb must come to grips with the past or risk losing the love of a lifetime.

Couldn’t get into the story

Sometimes, like in this story, I just couldn’t get into the storyline.

The bickering of the two main leads just didn’t work for me. So, I decided to DNF.

Frustrating.

Crabby drama queen repeatedly tortures her hero with her ridiculous hypocrisy. Parents of both families wanting “what’s best” have learned nothing from Round 1. Apparently, good chemistry overrules common sense and expectations of decent human behavior.

Megan and Caleb

Megan and Caleb both have trauma in their past that has been tough to deal with. Then a threat against Megan's cafe brought the two of them together. Sparks fly, emotions are high, secrets are uncovered and past hurt gets dealt with. Enjoyable book all the way around. The use of dual narrators worked well with the story. Both narrators were easy to listen to and had excellent narration.

Worth the credit

I started this book even though it’s in a series. It can be read as standalone. I really enjoyed it. This is a new to me author, and was really impressed. Low angst book, perfect book for a lazy day.

Ok story

I enjoyed the story for the most part ( Cover shows a blonde not a redhead) during the story when one main event happened in the beginning of the story it says the boys were 16 and then at the end of the story they said they were 17 so that just kind of bugged me. I did not do the first book so now I’m thinking I need to backtrack because I’m not sure whatever happened to her dad if I missed it or if it said in the first book but the story was pretty good and I think the narrators did a pretty good job there was just a few things that were confusing

A great enemies to lovers story

Megan's bakery is robbed and the one person she has been avoiding, is the person assigned to her case, Caleb Thornton. Megan and Caleb each have a past that brought them to where they are today. It once brought them together in a different way. Will Megan be able to overcome that anger and embarrassment? Will Caleb ever get past and work through his big mistake? The way their lives are tangled together really gives depth to their story. This story caught my heart and attention and would not let go until the end. Iris Morland wove these two lives together through her words and I was caught in the tangled web.

Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer have complimentary voices. The transitions betweent ehm was smooth and kept he story flowing. I enjoyed listening to this narration. Ms. Costa and Mr. Kafer brought this story to life.

Loved It

Brashy Megan Flanders, is independent, she wants to do things her own way, but when a stalker interrupts her life, Caleb Thornton wants to protect her. He sees more of her weaknesses than what she wants him to see. Caleb is hiding a major secret that has been, really been bothering him. But when it becomes public, how will it effect her feelings for him?
I really enjoyed listening to this story narrated by Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer. They tell the story with emotion. 🎧audiobookobsessionreviewer🎧

Great Read

The Very Thought of You: The Thorntons, Book Two was another great read by Iris Morland. Megan has two goals; to run her bakery and to avoid Caleb. He has made her life difficult since he arrested her a decade ago. Unfortunately her bakery is robbed and Caleb is assigned to figure out what happened. Through the investigation, they both can't deny their attraction anymore. I loved Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer's narration of the characters. I can't wait to read more by the author.

The Very Thought of You

The Very Thought of You was the story of Caleb and Megan. I have not listened to the first book in the series which appears to have been about Megan's sister and Caleb's brother, but this is a standalone so while the characters are interconnected, each story is about a different couple. This is an enemies to lovers romance with a bit of suspense mixed in. The very last sentence in this book makes me want to listen to the next book in the series. Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer did a great job bringing this story to life. I received this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
