Publisher's summary

Lexi Miller restarted her life five years ago and has been living a regimented routine ever since. With a great job and a best friend who tries everything to get her to break-out of her boring life, it’s not until her birthday present arrives at her door, opened by a stranger, that things finally start to get interesting.

Alex Miller is ready for his second career after retiring from the military. He’s excited to start training contractors in safety issues and getting to know his daughter after being away for so many years.

When a package addressed to him shows up on his doorstep, he is kind enough to deliver the box to the rightful owner. When Lexi opens the door, Alex quickly realizes that he’s found the beautiful woman he has been catching peeks of as she comes and goes from the building.

From misunderstandings to new beginnings, Alex and Lexi come together, but a business trip threatens their future right before Valentine’s Day, and neither is sure they will ever be reunited.

Alexandra and Alexander

Package delivery mistake.

Alexandra and Alexander. What a great way to meet. I did not understand why she would think to date her boss, potentially a very messy situation. A wonderful, dramatic read. I'm looking forward to reading about the rest of Alex's team.

unexpected packages

I thought this was a very sweet intriguing story that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Haven did a wonderful job narrating this story.

The complete package

I've listened to about a dozen Stacy Eaton books and this one is my favorite so far. This book has some comedy, romance, love scenes, action, and drama. The h and H were flawed and well developed. you can understand both their viewpoints and why they react to situations the way they do. Stacy's writing from different character viewpoints can be a little frustrating. She will write a scene from one view then switch characters and start the scene over in the other character's view. Sometimes the second view doesn't add any more to the first character's view. This book was edited to minimize those issues. the narrator did a good job voicing both male and female characters.

Funny, romantic, a little of everything!

This is a pleasure to listen to! I have listened to all of what Stacy Eaton has to offer, and this book is a little different from her others. That is what I love about her! Lots of versatility and the stories are always fun and exciting! This one started off with a bang of a meet cute! Laughing at the situation, it certainly broke the ice with Alex and Lexi! And now the interest in each other begins. Alex is just getting to know his daughter as he begins a new life post military, but it doesn't keep him out of danger. Lexi is hesitant with starting a relationship, and Alex's job is definitely a downer when it comes to making choices. But feelings are still growing! Where does it all go? With some laughing, crying and suspense, you too can find out how it all plays out. With Clare, Lexi's friend keeping things light and real, this book is a winner!

Haven R Powers gives us this story with a wonderful narration. Each feeling is felt, great comedic timing and building suspense, I was hooked til the very end.

who would guess

two people with similar names: Alexander and Alexandria. mail gets messed up so Alexander gets Alexandria's package, opens it, figures out what it is and then decides he should deliver it to her. waiting for her to open it and embarrass herself, he finally gets his laugh. now every time they run into each other he gives her a hard time. after awhile they start to date. something bad happens but you have to wait and see how it turns out. great narration and storyline. awesome author

Okay story!

Alexander Miller and Alexandra Miller (what are the chances) both answer to "Alex" and live in the same apartment building. What can go wrong?! When Alex opens the mail intended for Lexi, they have a most hilarious first meet-cute. What better way to introduce yourself to your neighbor by saying, "I think our mail got mixed up because I didn't order this vibrator." Oops! Alex is definitely interested in Lexi and she might be ready for a relationship, again. She lost both her boyfriend and brother in the military and she's been slow-walking through life, but Alex pushes her boundaries and has her thinking that there might be something there. I have to admit that I had a hard time getting into the story because the storyline was fairly thin. As much as I adored Alex, I had a hard time connecting with Lexi. She was whiny, woe-is-me, pity party and her treatment of Alex was reprehensible. She was so "afraid" that he'd die overseas that she had to break up with him and break his heart? Her fatalism was the last straw and I really didn't care if Alex came back to her. I am glad there was a HEA, but I wasn't as invested in it as I normally am with a Stacy Eaton story. This really is a one-off. Haven R. Powers does a wonderful job with the narration. Her clear voice, with excellent intonation and dynamic delivery, gives each character a unique personality and attitude as they come to life.

Good Listen

I was given this book for free.

This is a good listen, and narration is fine as well.
