Publisher's summary
A fun romantic comedy about a woman down on her luck and a handsome, mysterious stranger.
"People like you don't fall in love with people like me."
Meet Holly Hughes, a moderately successful teen advice columnist living in a studio apartment on the Upper East Side with her boyfriend Stephen. She has it all, but at the ripe age of thirty-one, she wants more. She wants to be married, she wants a family, and she's going to have it all with Stephen.
At least, that's what she thought, until Stephen announces he's gay, and the domino effect of unfortunate events begins. She soon finds herself unemployed, single, and living in her sister's house on Long Island, working as her niece's babysitter for less than minimum wage. She's pretty certain she's destined to live in the Land of Mediocrity forever.
And then, her niece runs face-first into a tall, handsome man at the bookstore.
Holly Freakin' Hughes is an HFN title about acceptance, feeling good enough, and the reality that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
NOTE: This book contains some strong language and sexual situations. Age discretion is advised.

Story
Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Story
I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

She needs a husband to receive her inheritance, so I’m on the hunt for a wife. As long as it’s her. I’m not who she thinks I am. But she has no idea who she really is either. I’ll be her groom.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Story
Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

Holly Freakin' Hughes is my first book by the author and I absolutely loved this! Holly has had a bad breakup with her long time boyfriend. She has also had a string of really bad luck and is regrouping at her sister's house along with her niece. Brandon was dumped by his fiance the night of his first big book celebration and has sworn off relationships ever since. An accidental meet cute at the coffee shop/bookstore has these two starting a situation-ship that is filled with funny banter, lots of angst, and untold truths. Holly never feels worthy due to her string of horrible circumstances. Brandon doesn't think he will ever love again and thinks Holly deserves better. You'll love the FMC, you'll love the MMC. You'll love most of the side characters that operate in their universe. This story is heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, with an HEA that will bring you to tears!
The narration was *chef's kiss!! Teddy Hamilton and Marie Hawkins really brought this story to life. I'm a fan of these two individually, but as a duo...fantastic! 5/5 stars!!

Freakin' LOVED Brandon & Holly
More like "Brandon Freakin Davis!!!" Gosh, I LOVED this audio so much. I thoroughly enjoyed this story & Kelsey has written a perfect MC. I was seriously dying over Brandon, a man who says, "Resisting you was like telling myself to quit breathing!" Gah!!! Tell me more Brandon!
Holly Hughes is in her 30's. Recently fired from her job & left single unexpectedly by her boyfriend of 5 years who she thought she'd be marrying. He decides he's not into her but into guys! Her life has fallen apart & she finds herself living with her sister on Long Island & babysitting her niece. She thought she'd be living her dream of being married & having a family but she now believes she's destined to live a life of mundaneness.
Brandon Davis, also known as B. Davis, is a wildly well-known author with fame, fortune & a beautiful girlfriend he's had for 10 years. After landing a very lucrative publishing deal, his career takes off but his fiancées doesn't. His life falls apart because of the jealousy his fiancé has over his success & she leaves him.
These two meet by accident after Holly's niece runs face-first into a tall, dark, tatted & very good looking guy at the bookstore. This story grabbed me from the very beginning. From Holly's quick-witted banter, to the messy situations she gets herself into, there's never a dull moment with her around. I wanted to seriously shake her a few times but fortunately she's got Brandon around watching over her.
There's some real heartfelt moments in this one, some hilarious dialogue & one of the sweetest declarations of love by an MC I've heard in a long time. It was so dang sincere & tender. I was clutching onto my heart for dear life, rooting for these two to get their happy endings.
🎧Let's talk narration...Marie & Teddy are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT in this sweet story & there is no question in my mind that their performances elevated an already wonderful story into something that I'll most definitely listen to again. This was my first experience listening to Marie & I'm slightly obsessed with her now. I ADORED her performance of Holly. She was wonderful at portraying the wit, vulnerability & insecurities that Holly was experiencing. Teddy's portrayal of Brandon just about melted me into a puddle. You could hear all the emotions & anguish he put into Brandon's character. The struggle he was having over trying to keep himself in the friend zone but realizing she was THE ONE he'd been hoping for. These two were such a DYNAMIC pair & I have already listened to multiple parts over because of their amazing work! WOWZA!
This is a romcom with a side of angst, slow burn & a load of emotional feels. The steam on this one comes from the slow build up between these two & its HOT, ya'll. There's some language but without explicit on page activities. Don't let this deter you. I was such a goner when these two got together & it was so worth it! I LOVED every flippin second of this audio. Maire & Teddy's performance make this a must-listen!!!!

Slow but cute
***ALC Review ***
I received a copy of this audio in exchange for an honest review.
Duet Narration is my favorite, so that’s what kept me listening to this story. The narrators put on a great performance for an okay story. It was slow moving and I didn’t feel like I got a lot of the MC’s relationship. They seemed more like side story until the last third of the book. It was cute, but the performance of the narrators kept me listening to the end.

Amazing Voices
I got the incredible chance to listen to the audiobook narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Marie Hawkins.
I absolutely loved this book because it’s so much more relatable than other contemporary romances I have read and doesn’t have too much drama in it (not that there is anything wrong with that but it’s great for this story).
Holly is such a strong character trying to find her way through all the hurdles in her life and she runs into someone who becomes her best friend and changes how she thinks about her life currently at almost age 32.
Teddy and Marie brought the characters to life so amazingly well in this duet style audiobook. I was able to distinguish the different voices and not be confused by who was who.
Whenever I see Teddy is in an audiobook it is usually an automatic listen for me and this was my first Marie Hawkins audio but I will definitely listen to her again.

Couldn't stop listening!!!
My title your review says everything. Holly Freakin Hughes was an amazing book. It made me laugh and want to smack the characters to get them to realize what was in front of them. Kelsey Kingsley did a fantastic job keeping me intrigued with her words! Teddy and Marie brought the characters to life! Pulling me further into the book. Such a fantastic pair and the right choice! Run don't walk to get this book and sit back, grab a drink and enjoy!

This is a new author to me, and while I thought the story was okay, I can’t say that I would have picked this book to listen to, the cover is sort of off putting to me. The story was really slow honestly a little boring and I found myself not really caring to listen at parts. Finally about 2/3 of the way through I started caring what happened to the 2 MC’s.

So Freakin’ Good ➜The Characters, Story & Narration🎧
This book drew me in right from the start, grabbing my attention and never letting it go, a romantic comedy like no other, one that puts a smile on your face and brings out all the feels. The story starts off with the breakups of two different couples, Brandon and his fiance Julia break up because she could not handle his success and her lack of it. And then there is Holly “Freakin’ Hughes, who thinks her boyfriend Stephen is going to propose, only to learn he is breaking up with her, because he is into someone else. Broken-hearted and then jobless, she moves to Long Island to live with her sister, a single mom, who needs someone to watch her daughter. Holly is quite the character and there is never a dull moment with her, from her witty dialogue to her shenanigans and the messes she gets herself into, and you can not help but fall in love with her. And then she meets him, Brandon, and the two hit it off, but he was never the same after his breakup and winds up putting Holly in the friend zone. As their friendship deepens, dating other men makes him realize the depth of his feelings for her. I loved the originality of this story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, humor, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. There are some heavy-hearted moments, but the humor and witty dialogue lightens things up. Kelsey Kingsley, thank you for this fabulous story, the laughs and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Marie Hawkins were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, and did so with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting. Both were natural in their roles, with Hamilton nailing it as Brandon and Hawkins as Holly, grasping all aspects of their character’s personalities, from their wit to their insecurities and all in between. They were just as fabulous performing the roles of all the secondary characters, too. The pacing and tone were just right for the story, and they handled the witty dialogue with ease, landing the humor naturally. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These two made a great team, with voices and talent that complemented each other and a performance that elevated the story to another level. Thanks for another fabulous listen.

Love these characters!!!
Audiobook review: narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Marie Hawkins
This was such a fun listen. I really appreciated the way it started, with a bit of backstory from both characters, that helped with character progression through the story. The plot was great with a relatable storyline and characters that are so lovable. Brandon was great and the way he wanted to just be normal had my heart breaking for him. Holly was a mess but in all the best ways. I liked that "real-world" things happened quite frequently. The relationship wasn't automatic and while they were still friends, they had to endure some things that were hard and it felt real.
The narrators were absolutely amazing. I could literally listen to Teddy Hamilton read anything, but give him a character like Brandon, and all the emotional ups and downs he experiences, and he is at his best. Marie Hawkins was new to me, but she blew me away. The way she performed the different female characters, in particular Anna, was nothing short of brilliant. Add in the duet style narration and this was a no-brainer recommendation.
