Entertaining Story!

Once I started listening, I couldn't stop. This story was frustrating at times, and funny at others. This is a riches to rags story, and I couldn't be more pleased on how it developed. At some points I wanted to throttle both main characters, while still rooting for them. There was a special character (shotgun toting grandma) that I loved - she was my favorite. A very entertaining story.

OMG . . . LOVED THIS BOOK

What can I say about this book to truly convey how amazing it was? I do not often get a chance to review a book, but after reading this one I knew that I had to make sure that everyone knows how funny it is.

This was my first R.S. Grey book and I loved it. Aiden Snow is wonderful. I don’t think I have ever listed to any of his narrations. But I can now add him to my list of narrators that I will look for. Aiden’s deep voice made Jack sultry and mysterious, bringing him to life.

Carly Robins always does a great job as a narrator. She brings a vibrancy to her characters. Jack’s grandmother was the best. I loved her interfering in their relationship.

I absolutely loved the story. I loved that Meredith walked away from a life that she realized limited her and led her to blaze a new path, and the path took her to Cedar Creek, Texas. This is a must-read. Funny, engaging and sheerly entertaining.

So much fun!

The woman can write a damn good book! I smiled through 90% of the book and when I wasn't smiling I was laughing. Such a great read. Er... or actually listen. I listened to the audiobook. It was fabulous. R.S. Grey has a way of picking the best narrators. They were so good. I loved their voices and delivery. Really well done!

This is a light read, not something to be taken too seriously. I'm not going to nitpick the hell out of every detail and complain about the characters I hated or try to pick apart the abuse aspect (like so many other reviewers want to do).
Fact is, the villains were great villains and the heroes were great heroes. In my opinion, it was perfect. The characters were perfectly imperfect and human. That's what I want. I want to read about imperfect people who don't always say or do the right things. So, yes, Jack was a jerk in the beginning. Guess what--people are jerks in real life.
So, yes, Meredith didn't have a plan when she left. Guess what--people leave bad situations without a plan all the time. It's real life.

Bravo, Ms. Grey! Loved this book! It's a solid 5-star read. Now I'm off to grab Make Me Bad, and then to devour all your other books. Please keep doing what you're doing!

Witty and wonderful!

What a fantastically written story! And the narrators were so perfect for the main characters. There was some serious verbal sparring happening between the characters of Meredith and Jack. And we cannot leave out Edith! Such a special brand of prickly she was; truly, the story would not have been the same without her. I really loved the uniqueness of this plot line and could not quit listening to it. If you like a happy ending to a story that makes you smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside then get this book! It’s sort of a being mean to each other to friends to lovers kind of read and I loved every spicy word.
Kudos to the narrators too! I loved the way they read Meredith and Jack and Edith etc., etc. All of the characters really. Of course, they had a wonderfully written story to work with!❤️

👏👏👏

Wonderful story and performance! I usually don’t like the Southern accent in narrations because some people REALLY overdo it, but I enjoyed Aiden Snow and Carly Robins narrators. RS Grey narrators rarely disappoint! They’ve set a high bar for me and it’s hard to find expressive tones like theirs. These two are super cute and super sexy without going overboard, especially when voicing other characters. I’m glad that there was a good balance of male and female voices chapters.👍

Jack and Meredith are wonderful together even when snapping at each other lol Jack’s life is basically all work, no play. Heck, he saw his gf of 2 years only a few times a month! He had big shoes to fill and ranching is not easy, especially when he ventures into other businesses like winery and being a go-to wedding spot. I like the cute interactions amongst the ranch hands, Jack, and Meredith and how Jack’s jealousy gets the best of him. Meredith came into his life so suddenly and was quick to judge, but he’s a good observer. He sees HER eventually and not how she’s painted to be.

Meredith’s life was great in the beginning, but she’s the product of money can’t buy everything. She learned that stuff was stuff and her leaving with nothing but the clothes on her body shows it. Grey does go a little bit into the mind of a survivor of verbal abuse, but not intensely. The psychology of abuse is extensive and while I would have not minded Grey going into it a little more, I’m glad the story focused on moving forward. Even though Meredith is eager to move forward with Jack, Jack understands how important space is and was willing to wait for her. He made his promise to be one of her people (explained in the story) and he loves her more than anything.

The epilogue was a sweet follow up to their lives and depicts that there is hope after trauma. Meredith became strong on her own the moment she thought she was on her own and she still is with additional support from Blue Stone. A support group is always important for everyone.

The only thing I’m confused with is her background of cleaning and cooking if her ex had hired people to do that stuff. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe that’s what she used to do when she and her ex were not rich? It’s not a big deal lol but I was just suddenly surprised that came up. She was all of a sudden an expert at cleaning. It’s not rocket science, but it can be when using the correct cleaning solutions, tools, sanitizers, etc.

Also, wish there was more Alfred!!!!!! Where was he in the epilogue?! He needs more scenes!!!!!! 😂

Sweet and light

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The narrators were amazing. I must admit, at the beginning I didn’t really like Carly’s voice for Meredith. I’ve been imagining something a little softer. But she totally won me over with her interpretation.
Back to the story itself, it was nice and easy to listen to. The banter between the main characters and a witty grandma were very entertaining.
I’m gonna add Grey to the list of the authors whose books I purchase as soon as they are published.
Time and money well spent.

Another hit from R.S.Grey

I love these books. A good story with fun and very likable characters with fantastic banter and a storyline that’s believable.
And to top it up always fantastic narrators. They did an amazing job of bringing this story to life.

Arrogant Devil

A feel good, heartfelt, adorably sweet story. R.S. Grey is slowly becoming a go to author for me. The story pulled me in with the witty banter, the slow burn between Meredith and grouchy Jack. I enjoyed this story.
Aiden Snow... is well, Aiden Snow. He’s outstanding, I could listen to him all day. And of course Carly Robins is prefect, loved how she truly brought Meredith to life.

Love, love, love some R.S Grey!

I really loved this story. If you love a romance with a take no crap kinda gal who is relearning just how great she is, well then this story is for you.
Sexy, Funny and real.
