Story
Caelan James should've known better than to let a dating app set him up on a blind date. Nothing in life was guaranteed-perfect, especially not guys, and most definitely not guys in the immediate vicinity of tiny O'Leary, New York. But then, sexy Navy SEAL Ash Martin walked into Cal's bakery, and made him wonder if fate might have cooked up something sweet for him after all.

Story
I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life. Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check. But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan. And I definitely didn’t expect Fenn Reardon, the island’s incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can’t live without.

Story
The job at Sunday Orchard was supposed to be temporary. A chance to gain some work experience, to have some fun. I had not expected to be welcomed into a family of gorgeous and weirdly efficient lumberjack-types, or to find purpose in the tiny Vermont town whose claim to fame seemed to be apple-based products and copious amounts of charm. And I most definitely hadn’t expected to fall for Knox Sunday, my grumpy, burly, fifteen-years-older, reluctant roommate, with his infuriating lectures, his hot-as-fire body, his superior attitude - I’ve never been one to put down roots.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built generations ago by the working men who founded this town.

Miserable

Publisher's summary
Jamie
Parker Hoffstraeder is gorgeous, cocky, and totally irrational. He also broke my heart when he left town 11 years, four months, and 28 days ago.
Not that I’m counting.
I don’t mind admitting it: I was young. I got burned. I learned my lesson.
But the guy swaggers back into O’Leary like he owns the damn place, and suddenly, I’m expected to welcome him to my town...to my life - like nothing’s changed?
Yeah, that I mind.
It’s only a matter of time until he’s gone again. And there’s no way I’ll give him a chance to take another piece of me when he goes.
Parker
Jameson Burke is the most arrogant, infuriating human on the planet. He’s also taller, broader, and impossibly hotter than he was before I left town.
But, whatever. It’s fine. I can handle it.
Coming back to O’Leary was supposed to be like coming home. I hadn’t realized that there’s no statute of limitations on how long your first love and former best friend is allowed to hate your guts or how much bad luck can befall a person in a short time.
But, I can handle that, too...or at least, pretend to.
When Jamie and I are thrown together in a blizzard, though, everything changes in the space of one single, scorching night. Suddenly, I’m dreaming of a future I can’t have, and he’s stuck in a past he can’t let go.
It feels like we’re playing with fire, and this time, I’m the one who’s gonna burn.

And I’m 1,000 percent sure that Josh Carter's not the man to find me a boyfriend. I mean, if I’m so great, why isn’t he the one dating me? (For the record, I don’t know the answer. That’s just what the guy on the internet asked.) I’ll humor him. If I go on his little dates, he’ll teach my bookish, introverted self how not to be totally, completely, utterly, unforgivably awkward.

Now I’m back in Forest Heights to care for my aunt with my son Rainer — the son I’ve been raising on my own for nine years because gruff, tough Grizz didn’t believe our baby was possible.

Love always finds its way home
Where do I begin with this book? 🤔 I have so many mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I liked it .. on the other hand, it frustrates me to no end. Let’s start with a synopsis. 😁
Parker and Jaime were childhood sweethearts. They loved each other madly and deeply. However, they broke up when Jamie pushed Parker away so that he’d have a chance at better life in a big city. Seven years later, the wayward lover has returned. But Jamie seems to have moved on with a new boyfriend and Parker’s bar literally got burned down. Without hope and nothing else to anchor him in O’Leary, Parker decides to leave the small town for good this time. Until he got stranded in the middle of nowhere in a snowstorm and Jaime was the one who rescued him. Will these two stubborn lovers be able to reconcile once and for all?
It was truly gripping and enthralling in the beginning. I loved Parker’s snark and Jaime’s stubborn and wry humor. ❤️ And I liked how things gradually start to develop between them again. However, I got a bit tired and frustrated if the constant push and pull and unending misunderstandings. 🤦♀️ How hard it is to just talk? 🤷♀️ Seriously, the misunderstanding continues until the very last page just before the happily ever after. I just wish I saw more of the romance and affection between the two of them. The saving grace is the snark and humor and the lovely narration of Michel Pauley. He did a good job with this one. 👏 I really enjoyed listening this book. 🥰 I think if you like second chance romances and like a lot of conflicts with your romance, this is a good listen. ☺️

My favorite in the series.
I absolutely love this series. Parker and Jamie are my absolute favorite. I love reading/ listening to friends to lovers. I found myself many times laughing out loud. This book has it all. Laughs, heartache, and love. Oh and Michael Dean’s voice is beyond amazing. He did an amazing job with Jamie and Parker. Highly recommend this book and series!

great story, narrator not so much
love this story and May Archers style of writing but I am over this narrator, does he have to always in the thousands of books that he narrates make one character whiney? this story is about 2 strong men but now it sounds like a valley girl in distress and his rendition completely put me off. Honestly every MM book sounds the same now.

Great Story *slight spoilers*
But the narrator was not so great. Yes, I really really like the previous narrators, so I really worked to decide was it the switch or did I just not like the new one. I just really felt the narrator made Parker sound very flamboyant, and nasally. When he did Jamies voice while in a Parker chapter he gave him a deep voice, but during the Jamie chapters he gave him basically the same voice he gave Parker. He also seemed very stilted, breaking every sentence up into parts. Saying approximately 4 words, pausing unnaturally, and then finishing the sentence. I did think he did the female characters better than the original narrators and towards the end, he seemed to do less of the stilted Captain Kirk way of talking. I did like how he was able to make his voice crack, or gasping words during emotional scenes, but it didn't make up for the stilted speech and nasal, whiny, flamboyant voice of Parker, although Parker could absolutely be whiny at times, in which it bothered me less during those scenes. But the whiny tone was constant, not just when he was whiny.
The story itself was sweet, and I absolutely LOVED the ending. I love love love O'Leary and wish I lived there, with their quirky residents and silly holidays and the love and support the townspeople gice each other. Reminds me of Gilmore Girls town a little. I have been waiting for Parker and Jamie's story for several books and I wasn't disappointed, although I really expected Brian to be evil, but liked how it turned out. I do wish more attention was spent on Jamie's motivation for the remodel of his house, it felt a little rushed and I think May could have spent more time discussing why/how Parkers involvement changed Jamies way of thinking. I totally got the Kitchen issue, but I would have liked more emotional information for Jamies motivation for painting the non damaged rooms, and maybe some scenes of them working together on the house. It was briefly touched on, but I think it would have brought the reader into the storyline and the emotional impact that work had on both the characters more fully.
The couple, as all the couples, are sweet and adorable, which, while unrealistic, I don't care. I love them like that. I really truly felt Parker feeling overwhelmed at his entire life falling apart, and the narrator did do an excellent job of his breakdown and emotional state, but that was also due to her excellent writing of that scene.
It absolutely broke my heart in the previous book when the bar was burning and Jamie rushed to Parker, held him and called him baby. I think we have all been angry at someone but when we are worried or scared for them, we forget all our anger. That previous scene was excellently written as well.
Overall, excellent book as usual, emotional, especially at the end, I cried like a baby. The narrator was ok, better than many but nothing as good as either of the previous ones, especially Iggy, I absolutely adore Iggy, but Iggy and Alex (I think that is his name) make auch an unbelievable team. I listened to all of Eden Finleys books with them, and Iggy in Anna Zabo's books, and they are just absolutely a great team together.

Love continues tow grow in O’Leary
This is the first book I’ve heard narrated by Michael Pauley. It took the first three chapters to lose a “fidgety” feeling his enunciation caused. Happily, by the Chapter 4, he settled into the story, allowing this listener to do the same. I am ready to begin Book 5 of the Love in O’Leary series with excitement and a wee bit of sadness, as it appears to be the final of the series. What a lovely series!

Second Chance To Get It Right
Great second chance romance based in a small town where everyone knows everyone else and their business. MCs were childhood sweethearts that have been apart for several years but a snowstorm might be just what it takes for them to get their act together. May Archer is a new to me author that will be added to my TBL/TBR list. As always Michael Pauley’s narration was superb.

Coming home is never easy and then to get snowed in together. I love this story! Jamie and Parker are amazing together! Michael Pauley once again does a fantastic job narrating!

Jamie and Parker are complex, wonderfully steamy!
I really enjoyed how the narrator really got these guys and brings them to life with just the right nuances.
A moving second chance romance where communication and trust and the theme. I really enjoyed getting to see these MC's find their way to forgiveness, honesty and trust. Finding the reason for their split years ago was so sad and so poignant. Motives so beautiful and yet so heartbreaking. It was terrific to get to go back to O'Leary and be there for a time. There are so many little jewels in this story of keepsakes and future dreams that will warm your heart for a long time.
Jamie and Parker are complex and wonderfully steamy together. i loved their history of friendship and love and their chemistry was amazing. The characters were really we crafted and the dialogue was wonderful. I loved their banter. Supporting characters were just terrific and we got to experience a bit of O'Leary magic with the Lilac Day festivities. This was an emotional and fun read and i am so glad i took the journey.
This is the fourth book in the Love In O'Leary series and i am looking forward to reading the next one!

old love ♥️
It's review time 🎧
The Fire: Love in O'Leary, Book 4 (Unabridged)
By May Archer
Narrated by Michael Pauley
Narrator score🎧 ; I will admit that though I adore and love Michael pauley and he did an excellent job with the book (as absolutely always!) It was a bit difficult in the beginning with the sudden change of narrator's ... but don't get me wrong he is an incredible narrator.
Level of steam🔥: the book was hot. Very much so even. It didn't took them a long time but they know each other from childhood and it felt natural. And about time even. I loved it.
Level of anxiety and sadness0😱😢: this book is laced with sadness loss and death... but yet again i would not call it a sad story.... it's sadder than the other ones ... but it's as good.
The book itself📖: it's a book laced with personal history of two people. Everyone in the town knows they love each other. But a lot of things happened. The love story is sweet and complex and very human. The way that this author describes feelings is very accurate and I love it. The book was very good and full of emotion.
