Ribbonwood

Narrado por: Katherine Littrell

GCLS Goldie Award Winner for Best Contemporary Romance 2025

Lara Bennett is world-famous in Ribbonwood, population 907.

She's the woman you don't trust your husband with: a real-life femme fatale. If there's a scandal in town, she's at the center of it, ruining businesses, marriages, and egos everywhere she goes, with her sharp tongue and that body that makes you look twice. Besides… didn't she more or less kill a man?

Ollie Gabrielli left Ribbonwood right after high school, back when Lara was her arch-nemesis. The queen bee and the closeted soccer star: natural enemies. When she comes home for three months, it's to recover from burnout and spend time with her chaotic family, not to reconnect with old classmates. Only somehow, she can't seem to take her eyes off Lara. How did she only get hotter? And is she really everything they say she is?

Sometimes, there's a reason you should never try to go home.

It’s good

The writing and the story a great, but Ollie is annoying. A woman in their 30’s acting like a conceited teenage boy is super annoying. It’s a bit disappointing how annoyingly childish one of the main characters is. Good otherwise.

Great story and narration

Ribbonwood was very favorite book of 2024, maybe of all time. I was really shocked about how good the narration was. There was no mixing up who the characters were during the dialogue. If you loved Ollie and Laura’s love story in print then give this audiobook a listen.

needed an encore...read it again after finishing it immediately. finished in less than a day.

Loved!

Wow I loved this story! I loooove Laura Bennett and I loved how this wasn’t just a love story but a story about women supporting women! The relationship between Laura and Ollie was very well constructed with the perfect amount of sweetness, humor, antagonizing, and yearning! Love them! The narration was amazing, her voice/accent is super enticing and it was fun hearing all the cute Aussie words!

Great Characters & Story
