About this listen
A sexy, small-town, grumpy-sunshine romance by bestselling author Stacy Travis
Ever heard the one about the rom-com princess who gets swept off her feet by her fake fiancé?
Yeah, that’s not my story.
I’m an actress whose reputation is currently circling the drain, thanks to a string of public relationship disasters. All I want is to adopt a baby and leave my tabloid trainwreck days behind me.
When the adoption agency doubts my ability to provide a stable home life, I agree to a fake engagement with a guy who screamed “PR-approved.”
Easy enough—until Archer Corbett blows it all to pieces.
He’s a broody, hockey-playing winemaker who makes grumbling an art form. He also hates my fake fiancé—pretty sure “douchebag” was in there somewhere—and doesn’t care who knows it. But when Archer rescues me on the side of the road and keeps me safe, I discover there’s more under his scowl than grunts and muscles.
A lot more.
Turns out, Archer has a guarded heart, a fierce loyalty to his family, and a self-sacrificing streak a mile wide. He’s also infuriatingly hot—and impossible to resist. One stolen kiss turns into carwash-steamy nights and a bond I didn’t see coming. But there’s a problem: he doesn’t want kids, and I can’t imagine a life without them.
Our lives don’t fit together. Our dreams are miles apart. But what if Archer’s exactly what I need to rewrite my story? And what if I’m the one to thaw his frozen heart?
If only this were a movie, I might get the happily ever after I’ve always wanted.
Love You Always is a standalone romance with a HEA, and it's the anticipated final book in the Buttercup Hill series.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

At least…that’s what she keeps telling herself.

Football star. Single dad. And once, a long time ago, mine. I’ve spent the better part of a decade forgetting Ford Ellis.

Avoiding him was easy when the only place I saw his face was on ESPN—and a remote control could fix that problem.

Beautiful story with amazing narration
I love everything Stacy writes…when I pick up one of her books I know I will be take on an adventure filled with love, laughs, fantastic characters and a beautiful setting.
This series is one of my favorites from her. The way she describes the scenery in each book is breath taking…I want to go visit Buttercup Hill!
There are so many fun tropes in this story - grumpy/sunshine, fake fiance, and celebrity romance.
Archer and Ella are AMAZING! Their banter, chemistry, slow burn and undeniable attraction for one another is written so beautifully. I love how they are there for one another and begin to trust, share feeling and fears and work together to become stronger. They have a few ups and downs along the way but love always wins.
The band of brothers and their dialogue is so good. They are fiercely protective, love giving each other a hard time and love one another so deeply.
Ava Erickson and Lee Samuals did an amazing job with the narration. I love their voices! They give the characters perfect voice, personality and emotion. They voice are strong, vulnerable when needed and the smexy times are delivered perfectly!!! An amazing listen!

A sweet simple romance ♥️
This is a cute easy romance. It was the perfect easy listen while I did my weekend clean around my house. I put this on and was able to finish it in a few hours.
This was a cute story of a Hollywood starlet who is trying to move past the tabloid gossip in order to become a mother. Desperate to adopt she needs to clean up her image after bad press thanks to a string of public relationship disasters. So in order to look good to the adoption agency, her PR company drafts up the idea to marry a PR approved guy in a marriage of convenience. It will clear up both their bad reputations while also serving her desire to show a stable home for a baby.
Unfortunately, Ella didn’t plan for a grumpy, broody, hockey playing wine maker who makes grumbling an art form. Archer doesn’t like Ella, but he doesn’t like her fake fiancée even more.
I loved Ella. I don’t know that people appreciate how difficult it is to be a celebrity and live your life under a microscope and constant judgement for every decision you make. On the outside she comes off as a spoiled celebrity but inside she’s kind, bright, and a bit of a nerd. I honestly loved it.
Archer was grump. Miserable after feeling forced to take on his family winery and unable to follow his own dreams. After a bad experience in LA he returned home to take over a job he never wanted.
The audio narration of this book was really good. I felt like the narrators' voices worked well for both characters. I highly recommend this audiobook if you are looking for a simple sweet romance ♥️

A Sweet Conclusion to the Series
⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️.5
Love You Always is the last book in the Buttercup Hills series. I loved the family and setting of this series since it is located at a winery. This was another sweet edition with one of my favorite tropes, grumpy/sunshine.
Archer has a lot of weight on his shoulders since he is in charge of the vineyard, and his dad left things in a bit of a mess. He is grumpy and closed off because he never wanted to run the vineyard. Ella is a famous actress and comes to Buttercup Hills to plan her wedding. She has an arranged marriage situation with a country singer to help their public image and, more importantly, to improve her chances of adopting a baby.
Archer is irritated he has to give her a tour of the winery, but they immediately feel the sparks and attraction. He learns there is so much more to Ella the more time they spend together, and he starts to fall for her. This is a little instalove, but I still really enjoyed it.
🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧
This audiobook is narrated by Lee Samuels and Ava Erickson. They are two of my favorite narrators and delivered an amazing performance. Lee Samuels did a great job showing Archer's grumpy and gruff side. Ava Erickson always does a great job, and they were the perfect duo for this book.

Cute Hollywood x small town romance
Grumpy x sunshine
Small town
Spicy
Dual Narration - Ava Erickson & Lee Samuels
Despite this audio being in dual I very much enjoyed the story. The narration was done very well. Ava Erickson is a favorite of mine and I enjoyed Lee Samuel’s voice as well.
Archer is running the family winery, making the wine since their father is too sick to do so anymore. His siblings all have rolls to play in running the business. His sister is trying to get it to be a top wedding venue by having a celebrity wedding at the winery. Archer is not interested in having anything to do with this side of the business. That is until Ella shows up.
Ella is hollywoods romantic comedy sweetheart and she is getting married. Her reputation is that she is the girl who jumps from guy to guy not a settling down type. She wants a family and to settle down. She will even go so far as to marry the wrong guy, but when she meets and spends time with Archer her thoughts about the future begin to shift slightly.

Beautiful story
** Arc reader review **
I’m a sucker for a grumpy x sunshine love story. This was the first book I’ve read from the series but not knowing the backstories to the other characters from before didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this book. But I will for sure go back to read the rest of the books from this series because I loved this one so much I can’t wait to catch up to the other siblings stories.
The banter between Archer and Ella was so good. The slow burn between them was killing me but once they were able to be together their story was beautiful. They were able to open up to each other and share things they never felt comfortable sharing with anyone else. They supported each other and just loved being with each other.
I love that the men in this family were there to support and love each other. They knew when tough love was needed.
I genuinely loved this book. I can’t recommend enough.

Enthralling & Heartwarming💘Great Story & Listen🎧
Stacey Travis started her fabulous “Buttercup Hill” series with a grumpy Corbett family member and she ends one with an even grumpier one, the eldest Corbett, Archer. I have been loving spending time with these wonderful characters in this equally wonderful world Ms. Travis created. Each book features a different Corbett sibling, and their stories stand on their own, but characters crossover into each other’s books and knowing their back story adds depth. Besides, seeing them again is like seeing an old friend, not to mention each book is just as amazing as the other. Archer was not happy when Ella, the Hollywood romcom queen, picked Buttercup Hill vineyards to host her wedding, but his sister is ecstatic and is hoping it will help generate publicity and more business. Ella’s marriage is one of convenience, to better her and her fiancé’s, Callum, a country singer, public image, but her end goal is adopting a baby and being married will help her chances. Ella does not know what Archer’s deal is, but she gives as good as she gets with him and the more she sees, the more she can tell there is more behind the man and his grumpy demeanor. I enjoyed learning more about these two and watching them interact and see a relationship form and then morph into something so much more. I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, angst, heartfelt emotions, and a slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. The Corbetts come together in this book and they finally get some answers to questions regarding their father and the vineyard. Like the first four books, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Stacy Travis, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 Ava Erickson and Lee Samuels did a fabulous job voicing the characters and delivering a perfect portrayal of each. I loved how they took each role and made it their own, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Samuels nailed it as Archer, grasping every aspect of his personality and demeanor, from his grumpy side to his caring side and all in between. Erickson was just as fabulous in Ella’s role, showcased her wit, as well as her strength and determination. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary/side characters too. They set the right tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling each one. These two made a great narration team, with talent and voices that complemented each other and a performance that captivates your attention and takes the already wonderful story to another level. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Highly Recommend
Can I cry because the Buttercup Hill series is over?
Archer has been the grumpy, fearless leader of the family's winery. Closed off and guarded, he is reluctant to give the hollywood princess a tour of the winery for her upcoming wedding. Forced by his sister, he takes Ella on a tour and indulges her in the "boring science" of the winery. Surprised by how interested she is and how different she is he begins to question everything.
Ella is desperate to improve her reputation and become a mother through adoption which has led to her upcoming marriage of connivence. What happens though when she might just be falling for the vineyard owner?
I listened to Love You Always narrated by Ava Erickson and Lee Samuels. They did a phenomenal job of bringing the story to life with emotions and chemistry. Highly recommend!!

The narrators play these parts perfectly. I loved every word.
The narrators bring this beautiful story to life perfectly. Ava Erickson and Lee Samuels are perfectly cast. Set in dual narration, it’s a captivating listen and definitely hard to let this story leave your ears. I was up way late listening. Book 5, the final book (say it isn’t so!) in the gorgeous Buttercup Hill series, set in the beautiful Napa Valley, centers on eldest Corbett sibling, Archer and actress Ella who arrives at Buttercup Hill to tour the winery for her upcoming wedding. An arranged marriage to help her career and much more. Not exactly how Ella saw her wedding. Archer, the grumpy winemaker, wants no part of any of it including the bride who is interested in the actual winemaking process and needs Archer to show her the particulars. To keep the peace among his siblings, Archer reluctantly agrees and this sets the stage for an intriguing, romantic, emotional story. I cried happy tears in chapter 38. Couldn’t help it. Oh Archer you ARE a good guy. And the Epilogue? Family. All about family. Beautiful way to end the series. I couldn’t stop smiling until the last words were spoken from this brilliant audiobook. Five. Huge. Stars.
