About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story.
The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea.
I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body and 9-to-5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.)
Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude. Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no.
Turns out no isn't an option.
I have a quickie wedding to plan, and Dr. Jake Kissinger doesn't have a choice. He looks at our situation like he's stuck with me, but in reality, I'm stuck with him. Stuck with his pouty mouth. His long, lean body. And stuck with those loose, low riding scrub pants. (Okay, so the doctor thing is growing on me.)
When spending time together turns into more than it should, I know I'm in trouble. He isn't supposed to make my heart pound. I'm not supposed to make him look twice. And we aren't supposed to spend the night together. (Okay, so he has more than one artistic vein in his body, and other places.)
Falling for him is definitely a mistake. Here's the thing... Jake is unavailable, and I know it. Just not in the way you might think.
I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Story
Turning 27. No problem. Inheriting my grandfather's winery. Been waiting all my life. Moving back to my hometown. I can handle it. Getting married to my old high-school sweetheart. Wait, what? We hate each other's guts. But I only have 30 days to turn my company around or lose it forever, so I don't have time to worry about that. Besides, she's days away from declaring bankruptcy, and merging is our only chance. There's a big problem though - only one winery can survive.

Story
All I want to do is get to work on time. But he’s trying to steal my cab, and that’s not going to happen. In the midst of the battle, I discover I don’t have my wallet. So I bargain - a free ride for a kiss. His lips taste like mint, and when he tugs me closer, I can feel the hard muscles beneath his expensive suit. The kiss ends just as we reach our destination, and I’m so taken aback by the explosiveness of it, I rush out without so much as a good-bye.

The tabloids are reporting that I’ve taken the crown and run. That’s not entirely true. As you might have guessed, I’m not an ordinary girl, and I don’t lead an ordinary life but that doesn’t mean I always follow the rules. This time, though, I feel compelled to obey...which means I have to find a king to sit alongside my throne or lose it all. With only the clothes on my back, I head to the land of majestic playboys, where a royal rebel strides right into my life with his sultry eyes and sinful lips and turns my world right-side up.

Brooklyn James should know better. Born into Hollywood royalty, the brooding prince has a reputation as being a player. A manwhore. A womanizer. Adoring fans are his thing. His best friend's little sister is not. Even thinking about her the way he is isn't cool. Not cool at all. And yet every time she pouts those sexy lips at him, she turns him inside out. Makes him harder than he's ever been. Drives him to the brink of insanity.

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. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

You might think you want to be a member - but trust me, this is one club you don't want to join. It's not a place where people go to live out their deepest, darkest sexual desires - there are no handcuffs or blindfolds. The 27 Club only admits those who die young and tragically. Having just lost my brother to the club, there is no doubt: I'm next. This is my destiny... and I was ready to yield.

The day I showed up to Dax Moody’s sprawling home, I had no idea what was coming. As a traveling massage therapist, I was used to entering the houses of strangers. But this assignment was different from any before it. From the outside, I’d correctly assumed the owner was rich. What I didn’t realize was that he would be younger than I’d imagined, single, stunningly gorgeous, and mysterious.

A delightful listen in it's own right! Loved the story line, the narrator's were on point. I have listened to a couple of books by Christian and I actually like his voice. Summer is always a treat to listen to. Glad I stumbled upon this one😉

I have another top favorite narrator
This was a great book. I've had it for a long time and just now got around to listening to it. There is more depth to the story than I anticipated. It was great. I highly recommend it. And I don't believe I've ever heard these 2 narrators before and while I'm a huge AA/SY fan, these 2 are a tough competition.

Jules and Jake
A beautifully captivating, witty, and charming story. Jules and Jake are perfectly imperfect, the start off on the wrong foot, but slowly they develop a cute friendship. We are taken on a journey of letting go of the past, growth, and undeniable love. I liked this book.
Narration as wonderful!

Love isn't just one thing!!
When I first started listening I thought this was about a woman that was failing at trying to hold onto her uncle's wedding planning business she took over after his retirement.
But it was so much more. Jules/Juliet had lots of insecurities due to a very traumatic life experience that I dont want to spoil.
This book took me in an very unexpected direction.
After listening you will also be surprised of the tradgies that both Jake and Juliet experienced.
But there is a lovely romance here and flashbacks that are important to the story which impacted us all.
Great narration and story by Kim Karr. I'm playing catch up on some of her books but shes a favorite author of mine. I liked everything about this story and the journey and characters I experienced for their HEA.

Made it through 1 chapter
It's rare that I cant even get through a chapter of a book but even making it past the first 2 minutes was rough. Summer Morton's narration was grating just because she speaks SO SLOWLY and I have a pet peeve about heroines who are this painfully insecure that it permeates their entire life. thankfully I borrowed this through the escape package or I'd be upset I wasted a credit.
