Shameless

By: Abby Brooks

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Connor Crais

I'm structure. She's chaos. I'm practicality. She's spontaneity. I'm off the market. She's Evie’s best friend. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will happen between us.

Jack Cooper’s a devoted single dad, just trying to make it through the morning without burning breakfast. His life is all about lists and rules and boundaries. (Raising three kids on his own, who can blame him?) Meanwhile, I’m a shameless free spirit looking for signs from the universe.

And Jack? He's a sign. No doubt.

The way his gaze skates across my face, gentle and questioning. The tired circles under his eyes and the hopeful smile quirking his lips. The proud lift of his chin....

Jack's my sign, all right...and he's flippin’ hot. Like total package, scream-his-name-while-biting-a-pillow hot.

But he's sworn off dating. And we're total opposites.

The last thing I want is to further complicate his life.

So what if I melt a little every time he smiles? Who cares if I have a thing for dark hair and blue eyes that caress my body when he looks at me?

All right, so I can’t stop fantasizing about the guy and completely adore his kids. It's not like that should stop me from trying to help the guy out...

...right?

Laughter and Tears

Jack and Amelia, such a wonderful love story. Connor and Stella are great narrators! They work so well together. Another home run for Abby Brooks!!!!

Absolutely Lovely!!

I have fallen head over heels with Abby Brooks writing and it just lends itself so well to Stella and Connor's voices.

I'm still choked up over that beautiful HEA ending and cannot come up with enough words for how Absolutely Lovely the words and performances were in this book.

Loved it!!

I received an ALC of this book and I loved Jack and Amelia's story... lol especially all of her Woo woo stuff!! Lol

Amelia has moved to Wildrose Landing to live in Evie's house now that's she living next door with Alex, and she has grand plans to open her own shop to sell "good vibrations" (lol) which are essential oils, tshirts, and other items to remove negativity. She is just waiting for the perfect spot on Main St to become available first. Jack is just trying to make it day by day after being suddenly widowed with 3 children under 10 who have decided that "hellion" is their normal attitude.

They meet at the candy store as Jack's kids literally run into her making her purchases go everywhere. As they get to know each other a little more, she offers to help Jack out watching the kids during the day. She helps them calm down and remove their negative energy. Jack is skeptical about it all, but he has to admit that his children are much better behaved.

Finally they give in to their attraction and start at relationship. Unfortunately they don't hide it too well from the kids, and the eldest becomes very upset. He encourages the other two kids to make her life horrible. In addition to this new development, there is a old lady in town who has taken to posting negative things about her and Jack on Facebook (again!! Same lady from Fearless).

I don't want to ruin the story, so I'll stop there and just say that I truly enjoyed this story. Sigh... 😍😍😍. The narrators did an absolutely fantastic job. I typically don't like books in duet, but this one was seamless and very well done.

I wholeheartedly loved this book and the series! Can't wait to Reckless which features Jude and Izzy!

I recieved an ALC for my honest review.

Another great one!

So far in this series this one is my favorite! I loved the first book Fearless but this one I felt a real connection with. The narrator's delivered beyond expectations! Can't wait to start the next one!

single dad/opposites attract

I really enjoyed this 2nd book in the series!
Jack, a widower with 3 young kids finds himself running into (literally) Amelia at her friends shop. She's the calm to his chaos. There is an instant awareness of one another even if they (or really just Jack) ignore it at first.

Amelia is this sweet free-spirited woman who I felt such a pull to. I loved her character, she has such a big heart and so much love to give.

Jack is just trying to be a good dad and drowning in the stress of daily life.

Stella Hunter and Connor Crais are back to narrate this one and they nailed these two!
