First rule of being a nanny? Don’t fall for the single dad, even if he is smoking hot.

Neither of us is thrilled with the arrangement, but he’s desperate for help, and I need the money for grad school this fall.

Story
When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty, and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana’s new chief of police, she’s determined to prove herself. According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town’s founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths.

At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Forced Proximity & Brother’s Best Friend? Say Less.

Publisher's summary
A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best seller Sarina Bowen!
Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.
What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.
In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after 14 years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.
In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too....
Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.
What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is 2,000 miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

I saw her first. Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty. I was smitten. But it didn’t matter because she chose him, and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. Now, I’m screwed. From her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways.

Sure, I can get any woman I want, but I've got a no-relationship clause in my contract, and the only woman I want has relationship written all over her. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me. At all. Something about the next Ice Age might have even come up in her rebuttal. Adorable.

My name is Courtney Jane Salinger...and I'm sick of games. Sick of the Friday night bar-scene-cum-meat-market. Sick of awful dates and one-night stands, booty calls and guys who don’t call back, mixed messages or no messages and - and - and...I'm sick of all of it. I’m done. It's too hard, and worse: little by little, it's making me hard. It's breaking my heart. What do I want? That's easy. I want a house in suburbia with a white picket fence. I want babies to buckle into a minivan. But most of all, I want to be married. I want a husband.

Story
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work - starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way. But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world? Only there’s so much more to him than that. Billionaire playboy? Check. Troubled soul? Check.

College parties, beer, and one-night stands - that was my life. Now, I hunt down criminals, ethically or not, but if no one's asking, then I'm not telling. Drinking and women are still included, although I can't seem to forget the girl who almost gave me her virginity. She would've until I realized she was too young, and I wasn't looking to get thrown into jail.

I’ve kissed a lot of frogs, just to be covered in warts. I’ve been lied to, cheated on, and used more times than I can count. I don’t have it in me to keep going. I need a break from it all. I need time for the wounds to heal, and the scars to fade. Wouldn’t you know it’s my luck to meet a gorgeous man after declaring my self-imposed break? He’s charming, sexy, and determined to change my mind.

The boy's father is the most beautiful, most dangerous man I've ever met. Darkly seductive and filthy rich, Nikolai Molotov is as magnetic as he is enigmatic.

My second chance at freedom begins now, and I won’t waste it. I should’ve been paying more attention. Ambushed. Captured. Stranded. When I wake in the depths of a snowy forest, all seems lost. I’ve been left alone in the wilderness with zero means of escape. Until someone rouses beside me. I recognize Blakely Cross instantly, yet she’s barely more than a stranger.

Oh Matteo, my heart!
Good as Gold is Sarina Bowen's newest romance set in Vermont! It's a second chance story of sorts. Ya'll this is Matteo Rossi's story! We have loved his siblings, and now we get to know why he left home and why he stayed away so long. Matteo and Leila were friends in high school. There was always an attraction there, but they never acted on it. Now Matteo is home for the summer to see his family and runs into Leila. After Leila gives him hell for staying away so long, they spend some time together. A drunk Leila asks Matteo to be her baby's father. Matteo can't stop thinking about what Leila offered. He's willing to help her out though, I mean, what's some sexy times between friends. Seems like a win-win. But his feelings become too much to handle when he has to go back to Colorado and his business. Leila didn't admit how she really felt when Matteo left, but it doesn’t matter. She can have this baby alone. Will Matteo realize he can't let the only woman he's ever loved get away again before it's too late? Oh man! I freaking love Matteo. Wow. From the long hair and the soulful brown eyes to the sweet words and kind gestures. He won my heart from the very beginning. I feel for Leila, she's been through a lot and never expected to see him again. It's sweet, swoony, spicey and fun. I loved seeing the Rossis and their loves again! I'm hoping we get Nash's story soon!
Audio: Jason and Lessa were perfection. I love the emotion they convey with their sweet and sexy voices.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
I’m absolutely in love with this book. The emotions I felt and life lessons that were snuck in there were so relatable. The character development was amazing, although the flashbacks caught me off guard sometimes (but trust me, you’ll get why there are flashback scenes towards the end). Such a great job closing the circle! Kudos to Sarina Bowen!
Oh and , Jason Clarke and Lessa Lamb, bravo… as usual.

Small town, friends to lovers, pregnancy!
Good as Gold is the first book in a new series by Sarina Bowen! It does exist in the same world as her True North series so you definitely see characters and familiar places make appearances. This is a small town, friends to lovers, with the heroine asking the hero for help in having a baby!
Leila, Matteo, and Rory grew up together in Vermont spending their highschool years snowboarding together. Rory noticed Matteo interested in Leila and ended up making a pact with him, that Leila was off limits to both of them. Matteo ended up leaving Vermont after graduation and Rory and Leila got married! We then jump to 20 years later.
Matteo Rossi hasn’t been back home to Vermont for 14 years, but decided to come back for his brother’s wedding. He finds out Leila and Rory got divorced recently and when he runs into her again, all those old feels are still there. While babysitting his nephew he needs help and reaches out to Leila, who is also a preschool teacher. Leila and Matteo end up spending time together now that he’s back in town. His best friend and business partner back in Colorado was killed in a slope accident while Matteo was filming him on the slopes, so he’s taking a break back home in Vermont helping out his family with their businesses. Leila ends up telling Matteo she wants to have a baby, she’s 35 and already looking at sperm donors. But one night she gets drunk and asks Matteo to impregnate her!
This had some great mutual pining, both have been into one another for so long and it was fun seeing them finally give into one another. I loved how much his family and her family, the Giltmakers, were in this. The flashback chapters did throw me off as they’re told in 3rd person POV, while the present day chapters are 1st person. This story definitely focuses heavily on pregnancy and Leila’s fertility journey of trying to have a baby. The chemistry between Matteo and Leila was really good and I just wanted him to get the girl already. The audiobook was really good, Jason Clarke and Lessa Lamb, definitely delivered! I feel like we got a good setup for her brother having a book next and I’m just excited for more in this new series.

Heartwarming Gold
I love the flow of this audiobook. The narration perfectly portrayed both of these characters, the story was a beautiful and the very realistic friendship and love story. What I love the most was how tender Matteo was with women in his life from the very start. His character was genuine and Jason Clarke did an incredible job with his performance. Lessa Lamb is becoming one of my favourite female narrators. Sarina Bowen has done it yet again. She is an automatic purchase for me and this trio is perfection for this story. The internal struggle these characters work through together and apart feels very real life and relatable. You don’t need an abundance of angst to keep the reader interested and the solid foundation this couple has speaks volumes about Sarina Bowens writing and her gift to pull you into her books from the very first chapter.

Small town Vermont & Second Chance ❤️
I love being back in the True North world. Yes, this is its own story but we see characters from True North. And I feel like we’ll be getting some more books in the world of the Giltmakers/Rossis and I am here for it.
Leila and Matteo were best friends growing up. They were also attracted to each other but never told each other. So this is one of my favorite tropes: a second chance romance.
Matteo returns home after being gone for over a decade. Leila is recently divorced and looking to have a baby since she’s getting “old”. After a drunken night she asks Matteo to help her get pregnant the old fashioned way. This forces them both to face their old feelings and come to terms with what they want in life. Matteo is also dealing with the loss of his best friend in a tragic snowboarding accident.
This is such a hard story to review/talk about. It’s very emotional. It was definitely harder for me to read about Matteo dealing with his grief. They both have heavy stuff to deal with, his just hit me harder at this point in my life. The decision to have sex with the intention of having a baby added an interesting dynamic. I’m not sure I’ve read something like that before. It made the pacing odd. Not bad odd, just odd. Those scenes were hot and emotional but were prompted in a different way. Also because of that, the emotional beats for the romance just felt different. Again, it’s hard to explain. I think as a romance reader you kind if expect certain plot points at certain times and this was varied.
This was a beautiful love story and I’m so happy to be back in Vermont with Sarina’s characters. You can easily jump in here and read it as a stand alone or read this after the True North books and love all the mentions if characters we already know.
Sadly, Jason Clarke carries this audio. Lessa Lamb just doesn’t connect as well. It isn’t un-listenable, but I recommend reading by ebook if that option is available to you.

Female narrator didn’t do it for me.
Good story, love Jason, wish they had gone with a different female narrator. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I REALLY wanted to love it…
Unfortunately, because of the female narrator, it was an absolute whip to finish this audiobook. Serena Bowen = auto by. Jason Clark = auto by…, however, Lessa Lamb = hard pass. It was the first book of hers I’ve listened to and it will be my last, I ended up having to skip over her chapters and read them in Kindle instead. I honestly hope she reads these reviews, not because I want to hurt her feelings or anything, but I think she has the potential to be good if she would not over enunciate and over act the entire time. The part didn’t sound natural… it sounded acted which ruins it for me. Her male voice was almost as bad as Savannah Peachwood.
The story itself was great, I really liked it. I like all of Serena Bowen stuff. The only complaint I would have is that Leila was not nice to Mateo when he was trying to be helpful. Also, any couples in these types of romance novels where they have such a lack of communication, it’s annoying. What could’ve been cleared up with one short conversation, didn’t happen until the end. I get that the book needs some kind of drama or angst, but when the characters won’t tell each other how they feel a lot of stubbornness is very annoying.
All in all, I’ve got book though if you can deal with a female narrator otherwise I’d recommend reading it
