Publisher's summary
Since moving to beautiful Cedar Tree, Colorado, Emma Young, mother of one adult daughter, has worked from home doing some online bookkeeping and baking for her best friend's diner to supplement her disability pension. Life has been pretty good, that is until she received a strange phone call that starts an alarming chain of events.
Investigator Gus Flemming is hot on the trail of a bail skip with organized crime connections that bring him to Cedar Tree. Once there, the focus of his investigation lands squarely on the gently rounded shoulders of a vivacious red haired Emma, whose physical limitations have done nothing to dampen her zest for life.
When it becomes clear that Emma is at risk, Gus does't hesitate to step in and protect her. Call it a job with some very hot benefits....

Story
In the dark alley of a pub, the words "Please don't" take hold of her heart and break the silence she seeks. Thinking herself beyond redemption, she tentatively grabs on to the slim thread of hope that unfolds inside of her. Holding her secrets close, she can't resist the comforting draw coming from The Skipper. The unconditional friendships it offers, the protective roof it provides, and the spark that its owner ignites in her - melting the frost off her heart, and slowly stripping away her resistance.

Desperate to find a new mechanic, the last thing Reddington expects is a woman to show up, let alone one with a sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to just do her job and not give him lip. He can't deny he's hoping to catch a view of her bent over a hood, but there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. As much as Red wants to take her for a test drive, he knows he needs to keep his priorities straight.

Story
As an ex-Navy SEAL there are a few guarantees in life. Avoiding relationships is one of them. Dealing with PTSD is another. So when I come across the Reckless Bastards MC, it’s perfect for a man like me. Last thing I expect is to encounter Jana Carter at a painting class. Don’t ask why I was there. I can hardly keep my eyes off of her. She’s a shy, sultry vixen, and she grabs ahold of me so hard, I can’t let go.

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest. Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

Regret, she's a snarky little bitch. I've tried several times to regret the events that took place on June 5, 2008, but for the life of me, I can't. I'd never regret the pain, the suffering, or the heartache because they ultimately led me to the place I am in now. And I can't regret the place I am in now. What I still can't figure out is this: How is it possible that the single worst day of my life inadvertently became the very best day? Five years ago my life was irrevocably changed. Seventeen minutes was all it took to lose my best friend, to lose the love of my life.

Before senior year, I was forced to move away, leaving behind the only man I have ever loved. He promised he'd love me forever. He vowed nothing would tear us apart. He swore he'd wait for me, but Jack lied. Six years later, when our paths cross again, his broad shoulders, rock-hard chest, and rippling muscles almost make me forget his betrayal. His rugged voice, tempting lips, and sinful smile make it harder for me to deny the feelings I still have for him. He wants to make me his again, but our past may be too much for us to overcome.

Incredible story with mature characters
Audiobook: Narrators - Tanya Eby and Noel Harrison
I really enjoyed this narration. Both of these narrators did an excellent job and I soon found myself immersed in the story which was enriched by their performances. Mr. Harrison’s voice is very deep and I had to adjust to it a bit by slowing the speed down, but once I did I was goner for his portrayal of Gus.
Wow! Talk about a sizzling read with mature characters! I loved everything about this couple.
Emma is disabled but fiercely independent. When a wrong number shakes up her life she suddenly goes from adjusting to life in a new place to adjusting to the fact that Gus appears to truly be attracted to her. She was more than capable of taking care of herself but wasn’t so bullheaded as to not recognize that there were times she needed to yield to him.
I love a strong, take charge hero. Especially when he recognizes that he has to use a lighter hand, and that was Gus. He was deliciously alpha and extremely protective. When the conflict between this couple arises, my heart ached for what he was going through. What’s not to love about a hero who is strong but vulnerable?
This has several plot layers and going through them kept me invested the whole time. With plenty of steam, lots of good friends, and enough drama to keep the story moving and the questions coming, I had a hard time stopping this when life got in the way.

I want a Gus <3
This book is a perfect example of my AHA moments when I think to myself why did I wait so long to get to it, it has been waiting patiently for a few months now, but life throws me curveballs from time to time. After listening to it, I know I am hooked to the series, good thing all the books are lined up on my iPhone YAY
Loved the story, the content feeling it left me with because of the HEA ending, despite the suspense that had me sitting at the edge of my seat while Gus was searching for Emma or her daughter and best friend. As the story unfolds we get to know the characters, their lives, their hopes, dreams and disappointments. Emma is such a great heroine and I like that she is not perfect or young and she gets her HEA afterall with Gus... He makes me believe they might exist. Loved Emma's BFF, Arlene.
Now for the voices.. OMG what a great combination!!! I loved them both, such a great variation and passion. Mr. Harrison's voice for Gus was so yum, fit him so well. Ms. Eby's voice is pure delight. I can't wait to start the next one in the series.

Love Freya's other books, but not this one
I'm normally a big fan of Freya's writing. I've listened to several of her other books and loved them, but this one was a real miss for me. I never became invested in the story or the characters, and didn't feel any chemistry between Emma and Gus. I feel that was in part due to Tanya Eby's narration. It was lacking.... something. Just a little bland. The story fell a bit short, as well. I'll definitely keep listening to Freya's books, but may jump to another series. If you want to check out some great Freya Barker books, listen to the Rock Point series. You're welcome. 😉

Love this series!!!
Love the characters. I can’t pick just one favorite. It’s nice to read stories about women who are my age who still find love. Was hoping there was a story about Julie and Clint’s brother. I’ve read the series 3x and just bought the audio books so I can listen to it while I’m at work.

A wonderful "Seasoned" Romance
Slim to None by Freya Barker and narrated by Tanya Eby & Noel Harrison is my happy place.
Emma, my heroine is 47 with some mobility issues due to rheumatoid arthritis but that does not keep her down. She is independent and spirited 🥰 Gus...Oh My Gus, is 45 and I champion him throughout the whole book. He is a man's man and he's caring. Emma's " issues" do not keep him from "putting his Thang down" on her either. 🤣 I LOVED it and started literally saying, "Give it to her, Gus" during the sexy times. 🤣🤣
Tanya Eby's narration was EVERYTHING for me. I did struggle a little with Noel Harrison but he was Gus, so I got over it.

Loved it
I loved Emma and Gus when I read the book and have loved re-reading by audio this time.
Emma taking her life back and living to the best of her ability disabilities be damned. Such a strong woman. Loved the humor between her and Arlene. When things go a little crazy and Gus quickly wedges himself in to Cedar Tree and Emma care, things get a little hot and sexy.
This books is full of suspense and keeps you wanting more needing to know what happens next.

🥧A Delightfully Delicious Surprise 🥧
I am so very glad that I ignored the online reviews that said negative things about this listen. Absolutely NOT ONE of them is true.
The real deal is Slim to None is a beautifully performed & written story of mystery, danger, lust, sex, acceptance, true love and friendship.
The story follows the relationship of Emma & Gus who in their 40's (totally refreshing) who are thrust together as the past brings evil & mayhem to their doorstep. The fight to trust, love & live is on!!!
This story TRULY HAS IT ALL!!!
This Audible Addict has already downloaded the next 2 in the series bringing my audible library up to 1225. Use that credit and start listening NOW.
Enjoy!!!

Needed More Information About Emma
Interesting first book to a series. I would have liked more background on Emma. At some point in the book, I got the impression that life was going along fine for her and then she became disabled, as she stated. Maybe I misunderstood, but it didn't sound like a gradual process, or a particular event that started her heath issue journey.
I knew she had a daughter Kara. Emma baked pies and had an online bookkeeping service. Other than that, I had questions. What did Emma used to do? Why was she given a settlement? What was the focus on the online support group in which she met Arlene?
Then the phone sex thing. Did she not recognize the voice of the man on the other end of the phone? I did like the way Gus was so patient with and supportive if Emma. I thought he was more focused on making her happy than she was on him.
I got a much more detailed story of Gus' past and the reasons he was in Cedar Tree. So when Emma got upset with Gus about keeping information from her, I was kind of irritated. Lady, I don't know anything about your past.
I listened to the audio book. The narration was well done and interesting. I had been used to one narrator reading a chapter, and the other reading the next. This book seemed more like the female narrator would be reading, and the male narrator would slide into the same chapter to read his part. I wasn't made about that. It had a nice flow.
My overview of the story was that it was decent. Some of the things going on were obvious and some weren't. My biggest issue was questions about Emma revolving around her lack of background and insecurities.
I am going to move on to Arlene's book. Maybe that will provide some of the info I didn't find in this book.

A Perfect Start to the Cedar Tree Series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I loved this audio version of one of my favorite books. The story grips you from the very beginning and the twists and turns of the storyline keeps the reader engaged and eager to delve deeper into the story. The audio book complements the authors words and gives the reader a greater understanding of the characters.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Emma is one of my all time favorite characters. Even though she is far from perfect and has health issues, she is far from an invalid. She's smart, funny, passionate, loving and feisty as can be. She's the kind of woman I think we all strive to be, insecurities and flaws and all.
Which character – as performed by Tanya Eby and Noel Harrison – was your favorite?
Emma, I think Tanya Eby did an awesome job as the character. Her voice matched the one I imagined when I first read the book two years ago. Her intonation conveys the emotion and passion that Emma has.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Imperfect people, impossible circumstances, but a perfect love.
Any additional comments?
The Cedar Tree series is one of my very favorites and this audio book makes me want to listen to the entire series.
