Publisher's summary

Restaurant owner and bajillionaire Miguel Santiago literally tops the list of Boston’s Most Notorious Bachelors. He’s also handsome as sin, a world-class a**hole, and thanks to the fickle real estate gods? My new neighbor.

When my BFFs and I opened Yogasm right next to his restaurant, we had no idea he wanted the space. Nothing personal, big guy.

Now that we’re here, we’re not leaving, no matter what kind of Epic Playboy Tantrum he throws. The best way to handle a bully is to ignore them, right? So that’s exactly what I plan to do.

His smoldery dark eyes? Pfft. I barely notice them.

His broad, muscled shoulders? Samesies.

The way he smiles that slow, crooked smile like he wants to show me exactly how he earned that spot on the Notorious List? So. Super. Ignorable.

But when his feisty little niece comes to me for help locating her mother...well, that’s the kind of thing a girl like me can’t ignore, even if it forces me to get right up close and way-too-personal with the force of nature next door.

If Mr. Notorious wants a battle of the wills, he’d better buckle up, because this girl plays to win....

Meh.

Wasn't a huge fan of the narrators and there wasn't anything particularly engaging in the story. I didn't find it all that unique, nor did it build the romance. Basically, if you like the combo of Virgin at nearly 30, abandoned super-precocious child needing care, grumpy H who is generally nice to the h, Very little drama, little tension, little chemistry stories, then this one's for you.

Fantastic Romantic Comedy

Jane Henry, your ability to write a book that is so captivating to read/ listen to demonstrates your writing genius. Romantic comedy is a new genre for Ms Henry, and she nailed it. Miguel has a reputation as a wealthy playboy who gets what he wants. Samantha and her 2 best friends have a yoga studio and smoothie bar next door to Miguel's restaurant . I love the banter and chemistry between these two characters. Add a wonderful little girl to this mix and there are more heartwarming and fun moments. Gunnar and Jenna bring out the comical situations as well as the serious and sexy ones. I highly recommend this Audible book for your listening pleasure. I found it extremely fascinating to listen to and hard to put down. This book will brighten your day.

Wonderful

A truly sweet romance with some suspense. It was a lovely captivating story that I loved.

A refreshing listen!

Light, funny and romantic, Jane Henry shows her versatility by giving us this treat! This story definitely is a change from her dark, romantic suspense and shows just how talented she is! Meet Samantha. With two of her friends she is opening Yogasm, a smoothie shop with a twist. Next door is a restaurant owned by Miguel Santiago, and he isn’t happy. Life is not treating him right. Recently granted guardianship of his niece, Antonia, his hands are full. And now the space he wants is rented by a smoothie shop! Determined to get it, he makes his way over, but when he meets Samantha, everything changes. Plus Antonia has hired Sam to help her find her mother. Exciting, sensual, sweet, witty banter, this story has it all. A great weekend or beach read, you too will love this one!

Gunnar Qualen and Jenna St. Claire bring this gem to life! I love this team, and together, with their amazing voices and comedic timing, the story is hours of enjoyment. Qualen is strong, yet sweet as Miguel. St Claire is compassionate, and loving as Samantha, and her voice as Toni is fantastic! It’s an easy, enjoyable time and I loved it!

Sweet & fun story w/ amazing narration

I enjoyed this story. The narration was amazing. There were some very steamy scenes and a some mystery with the case that needed to be solved. I really loved the little girl Toni. She was funny. Sam annoyed me a bit with her infatuation with Miguel from the first minute. She just couldn't stay focused on anything because of that. Yet, in some other ways she seemed a bit more mature. Overall, it was a pretty good story.

Great!

I loved this fun story. It had everything I could ask for!
G. Q. and Jenna were the perfect narrators for this one! They have a connection that shows and I can picture them as the main characters! Don’t miss this one!

Fabulous Story & Narration🎧 An Enjoyable Delight!

This is an enjoyable romantic comedy, the story is original with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. Jane Henry is a gifted author, it is great to see another side of her creative mind as lightens things up from her usual dark romance with her first RomCom and she nails it by delivering the perfect balance of drama, humor, heartfelt emotions and some steamy romance. Miguel Santiago is a successful business owner and one of Boston’s most notorious bachelors. He was looking to expand his restaurant and when the owner of the adjoining store decided to retire, he offered to buy the place. Except the owner went with another buyer. Samantha, Allie and Madison needed a store front to cover what they really do, detective work. Their store Yogasm will offer healthy smoothies and cookies and have yoga classes too. Miguel is not happy about this and plans on taking them down. But a guardianship of a seven-year-old girl, Antonia, changes everything, he has met his match in that girl and in Samantha Graboski who Antonia ran to for help find her mother. There is never a dull moment in this fast paced and wonderfully plotted story, it is entertaining with loads of laughs and witty dialogue.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Jane Henry cast the perfect narrators to bring her characters and story to life. Gunnar Qualen and Janna St. Claire are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit their character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable in every role they played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Gunnar Qualen plays Miguel Santiago with perfection, Jenna St. Claire did the same for Samantha, as well as Antonia. Both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured all the characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with ease and landed the humor flawlessly, without missing a beat. These entertaining storytellers make a great team, their duet performance enhances an already great story to another level of greatness. Thank you for another amazing listen, it is always a pleasure to listen to your audiobooks.

Jane does RomCom fantastically!

Yogasm by Jane Henry

Let me just off with, wow Jane writes RomComs brilliantly too!

I was snickering tons throughout the listening of this book. And loved the bantering between all of them. Especially the little pipsqueak Toni who was full of sassy mischievousness for such a youngster, and was a little go-getter and wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted.

The writing has humour but also dealt with some really serious issues too which is how I pictured Jane tackling this genre.

The narration was superb. Jenna’s voice of Toni made me smile a lot! The natural teasing and loving banter between GQ and Jenna really shines in this audiobook and made the book so very enjoyable.

The real life issues that Sam and Miguel talk about as they got to know each other was a huge eye opener for peeking into Jane’s feelings on a whole wide series of topics that had me going… Wow and Yes!!!

Fantastic story!

This is a fantastic story! It’s a well written book and fabulous narrated story. A trio of friends that are private detective and operate several businesses.
The narrator’s do a magnificent job with the characters and the voices of each character making it easy to distinguish between the characters. They are fantastic narrator’s!

Not for me...

Female character far beyond young compared to boyfriends age. I thought she was downright immature, whiney & well annoying. This book was definitely not for me.
