A string of mean, kinky (the alarming kind, not the good kind), and crazy dating debacles combined with a boss who appears to be experiencing male-prenatal-psychosis means Steven's stress levels are high. They're so high, he's decided to quit dating and focus instead solely on his job. Until he meets Dr. Ken Miles. Doctor Ken Miles is having a fantastic year. His hard work is paying off in a big way...professionally. But his social life? Not so much. Until he meets Steven Thompson.

Naomi Winters will be 40 soonish, and she’s only been with one man. One night. One time. Long ago. She believes everything happens for a reason, and the universe spoke about Nathan Ryder. Nathan Ryder isn’t the same man who hightailed his bike out of Green Valley, 18 years ago. As a rule breaker, women are one area he acts a fool. Case in point, the local librarian. He can’t get a read on her, but she’s one risk he’s willing to take. Again.

Story
I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

Sometimes it takes an outsider to force us to see who we are. The real struggle is accepting what we learn. For Beverly Townsen, nothing could be closer to the truth. Virtually a shut-in, Beverly has pulled back from Green Valley’s community, preferring the isolation of her farmhouse and her daily routine of viewing home improvement television shows. When the opportunity arises for her own home improvement and a personal re-assessment, she’s not so excited about the reality of real life versus DIY programs.

I don’t care what other people think as long, as they leave me alone to focus on my research on soil microbiology. Plus, I walk with a cane thanks to a childhood accident. I have scars on my face. And if that isn’t enough to scare people off, my bad attitude and general grumpiness seal the deal. Which is just the way I like it. Except, I’ve been short listed for one of the most prestigious academic fellowships around. To win it, I’ll have to give a series of speeches. On a stage. With an audience. While being filmed.

Publisher's Summary
Rian Thompson thought she joined the gym to get healthy. Little did she know she was about to add 190 pounds of swoonworthy abdominal muscles and arrogance to her life.
Every day in Rians's life follows a predictable pattern, and she wouldn't have it any other way. She's got a nice job, a nice place to live, and a nice family - even if they are a little wedding-zilla-ish at the moment.
She doesn't need anything spectacular to be happy. She just needs to get healthy - mentally, physically...and maybe spiritually if that happens. But she'll settle for two out of three until her sister finally gets hitched.
Carlos Davies thought his life was perfect. Little did he know it was about to be turned upside down by a woman who is not his type.
In Carlos' mind, his life is damn near perfect. He's got a great job, a great place to live, and a great stash of pickup lines that always work. It has occurred to him that maybe no one actually takes him all that seriously. But with these bulging biceps and thick, dark hair, does that even matter since he's never sleeping alone?

Weird choice for male narrator
I actually liked the story quite a bit, but it was hard to get past the male narrator’s voice. It was annoying, but bearable at first, since towards the beginning of the book Carlos was a total tool. When the Carlos’ words became more heartfelt and genuine though, the narrator sounded anything but. I couldn’t help rolling my eyes because the narrator sounded like such a douche canoe. It made me kind of sad that I didn’t read the book instead. Now if I read it, I probably won’t be able to hear Carlos with any other voice in my head.

Awful male narrator
I am not one to give up on a book....but this male narrator is THE WORST I've ever heard. I looked up other books he's done and people seem to feel the same. Audible, please quit using Alex Kydd: he ruins it!!!

Awful Narration
I could not even get into this book due to the awful narration. Alex Kydd made Carlos sound like he didn’t have two brain cells to rub together. While Stephanie Rose made everything sound too breathy or whinny. Not everything needs to be over exaggerated. I typically love these books but this was not good

What the heck happened?
Ammendment: I am upgrading my review now that I finished. It 2/3 of the book, but Carlos became more likeable and the story had a good message...without being preachy. Unfortunately, I am still not a fan of the male narrator.
First, I am a huge Smartypants Romance Universe fan, get ready though because here comes the but...What the heck happened here?!?!? While I really enjoyed the female leads story and narrator, I cannot even remotely say the same about the lead male character OR narrator. There has never been a character I was so disgusted by in any of the Smartypants Romance books as I was by Carlos and the narrator made it much worse. So much so, that I stopped mid book to write this review. It is rare, even if it is bad, that I don't finish a book and I'm not going to make an exception here...but I am VERY tempted. It makes me sad.

i recommend reading the series
im a huge penny reid fan, i recommend reading the knitting in the city books first to understand more of these spin off smartypants romance series (i like the Winston brothers series even more). the book was good overall, but i felt it lacked something. like characters weren't fully developed. but i liked the main characters and the supporting ones fine. narration,,,I'm sorry i just didn't like the male lead. i got used to it and finished, but not my favorite. he sounded like a wanna be surfer.

Male narrator made it hard to listen to the book.
The book started out well. The female character is witty, and the female narrator does a good job. However, I found it took a turn for the worse when the male narrator began. The exaggerated surfer dude / obnoxious fratboy voice he chose to use was irritating. Coupled with his dialogue, it was very off putting. I think we are supposed to like his character, but the combo of what he was saying and how the narrator was saying it, had me rolling my eyes and dry retching. It made him sound like such a douchebag. I couldn't listen to it past chapter 2. Returned it.

worst male narration ever
If the male narration was included in the sample, I would not have purchased this book. Not quite sure why Alex Kydd chose to use a smarmy, Rocky accent but the second I heard it I wanted to scrape it out of my ears. Maybe he used that accent because the male character was an awful human being. Sorry but I returned this one unfinished.
