Denim & Diamonds

By: Penelope Ward, Vi Keeland

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Teddy Hamilton

From New York Times best-selling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone romance.

When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldn’t have included:

• 1. Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
• 2. Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
• 3. Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar owner’s wall.
• 4. Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.

But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.

He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.

And the last man I should’ve been falling for—because my time in this small town was limited.

I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.

He was denim. I was diamonds.

The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasn’t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldn’t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.

A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.

Go big or go home.

I just didn’t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brock’s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

Fantastic

Wow…another amazing book by this great duo. I loved this book. The stories the family shares had me crying tears. The whit and banter. The fun in their relationship. Oak was the cherry on top. The lessons certainly make you think. Adorable epilogue!

The story line

This book was especially good. The plot was wonderful. The storyline also wonderful the fact that they ended up having a child of their own at the end was the icing on the cake.

Setting

To much detail about rural setting. Liked the story line. She spent a lot of time overthinking things. When at the beginning, she was so impulsive.

Loved it

This is my second time reading/listening to this book this year. It’s amazing. Not at all predictable.

Opposites attract

I always want to read any books by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. This book is wonderful with the opposites attract. February and Brock are totally opposites but still are attracted to each other. They don't want the other to give up what they love doing. They work on giving each other what the other needs. Wonderful narration by Teddy Hamilton and Andi Arndt.
