With This Ring

A Sweet Small-Town Second-Chance Romance

By: Amy Clipston

Narrated by: Brittany Goodwin

Say “I do” to this sweet romance from bestselling author Amy Clipston, who “writes with warmth and heart” (RaeAnne Thayne). Dakota Jamison spends her days making brides’ dreams come true. But when will the time finally come for her own storybook ending?

Dakota thought she had left her dreams of happily-ever-after behind, along with the pain of a broken engagement to her high school sweetheart, Hudson. Now, as the proud owner of Fairytale Bridal Shop in the picturesque town of Flowering Grove, she’s built a life and a business on helping brides find their perfect dress for their own fairytale weddings. But running a small business is not for the faint of heart, and when her ex-fiancé unexpectedly returns to town with a mission—to put a stop to his sister’s wedding—Dakota’s problems go from bad to worse.

Hudson Garrity should be living his dream. After selling his software company, he’s single, handsome, and rich, but an unexpected call from his baby sister has him flying down to his hometown, determined to protect Layla from yet another big mistake. Though he’s single-minded in his effort to derail the nuptials, he instead finds himself thrown into family chaos and roped into helping his sister with her plans . . . bringing him once more into contact with Dakota Jamison, the one who got away.

For Hudson, coming home means revisiting his painful childhood, repairing a strained relationship with his sister, and coming face-to-face with the woman he never stopped loving. For Dakota, it means confronting the tender memories she buried deep within her heart. As Layla’s wedding date draws close, the two reunited lovers begin to question if what went wrong between them really happened the way they remembered it at all. Will they continue believing the lies they’ve told themselves, or will they remain forever entangled in the threads of what could have been?

With This Ring by bestselling novelist Amy Clipston is a heartwarming story that weaves together rekindled romance, rediscovery, and the transformative power of forgiveness. You’re going to love this standalone novel, which features a second-chance romance storyline, a billionaire hero, and a charming small-town setting—think The Wedding Planner meets a tale of reunited lovers. What sets this one apart is its sweet, clean romance; it delivers all the emotions and butterflies, leaving out the explicit scenes.

Critic reviews

'Once again, Amy Clipston delivers a heartwarming book about love and second chances. WITH THIS RING is like a warm hug and a perfect feel-good read about the beauty of family, friends, and reconnecting with your first love.'

'Say 'I do' to WITH THIS RING, a warm and fuzzy second-chance romance filled with family, forgiveness, and fairytale-wedding feels. I loved the charming town of Flowering Grove, especially Dakota's bridal shop, and I was cheering for her and Hudson to make their own trip down the aisle from the very first chapter.'

Sweet family reunion over money

The way the author builds and develops her characters. Pure enjoyment. The narrator was very good as well.

storyline

it was a very sweet story. easy to read listening was very good and easy

Almost quit listening

If this had been the first Amy Clipston book I had read, I would never pick up another. In the past I have enjoyed both her contemporary works as well as the Amish and usually applaud her character development. These characters were both very unlikable and very irritating. I almost quit listening several times because they were so opinionated, arrogant and interferring! Neither got clue until the last hour of the book! Boring story line. This is so unlike previous books by this author! I also agree with another reviewer …. Though clean (thank you). This is NOT a Christian book as there was hint of faith or the need for it.
