Hello Trouble

By: Kelsie Hoss

Narrated by: Allyson Voller, Luke Welland

What happens when the eternally single curvy girl becomes the blue-collar bad boy’s new obsession?

I love my small town and having all my friends and family around. But I’m almost forty and still single. Clearly, my Prince Charming isn’t finding me here. Especially with my car continually breaking down and sending me to Hayes Madigan’s shop.

The tatted mechanic acts like being a perpetual bachelor is the only point of life. He’s happy with his parade of one-night stands and regular hookups.

But I want more. I want romance, the kind of love that sweeps you off your feet and takes your breath away. So when I get offered a job in Dallas, I think it might be my chance to meet someone and finally have my own happily ever after.

Except Hayes surprises me by asking me out. After spending more time with him, I have to wonder: Am I just another number on his list? Or is he giving me the reason I need to stay in Cottonwood Falls?

Never judge a book by its cover

Had me cry just a little! I’ve been hooked on this series from hello temptation via Facebook. The fact that I find myself in the protagonists albeit male or female for how they are perceived. Ms. Hoss does a fantastic job at harnessing that very sentiment. Thank you.

🎧 Narration: Dual - 2.5x - Allyson Voller & Luke Welland
both narrators were new to me but i was very impressed with them both. i loved the smile you could hear in allyson’s voice during the banter & her more vulnerable parts were so believable. luke was fantastic. i loved his performance, he added so many small details like a half laugh before he spoke. he also nailed the emotional moments for hayes’ character. definitely will be keeping my eye out for more books from both narrators they really brought this story to life.

i love hayes madigan with my whole chest. he was so precious. protect this man at all costs. a surly, tatted up, playboy mechanic who falls first & falls harder?! say less. i loved the OWYM age gap & how it never mattered to either of them. they were in their 30’s & acted like they were which i really appreciated. this is a bit of a slow burn but the tension & connection & communication between hayes & della was everything. i got super emo at the end & cried happy tears for these two finding their happily every after. if you’re looking for a quick read full of banter & good spice - definitely recommend this one!

Hello Trouble

What a great story! I love how all of your books stand alone but also commingle together!! Love you whole series!! Keep writing!

The story behind the tough exterior

The story of Hayes was so worth waiting for. Alit of this is real in that you never know what is behind a person’s own personal heartache. Hayes has to get through his fears to see that with live everything is possible

Trouble

Oh this was such an amazing book! Everything about it, from the falling in love, the playful banter, the romance. I didn't want it to end but looking forward to the next book!
