Publisher's summary

Brooke Markham needs a man. A real good man.

But she's not looking for a keeper. She's too busy kicking ass, running an empire, and caring for her ailing father to spend time with men who want annoying things like relationships and commitment and...conversation.

Brooke knows what she wants, and it's not a future with the growly barkeep.

JJ Harniczek needs money. A whole lot of money.

He's determined to launch his distillery, expand his tavern, and put Talbott's Cove on the foodie tourism map. But there's no way he's asking Brooke for a dime. Not before he takes her to bed and definitely not after.

JJ knows where he's headed, and the blonde bombshell isn't about to change that. Not until she changes his entire world.

Return to Talbott's Cove with this steamy rom-com stand-alone!

Produced by BlunderWoman Productions.

Small town romance that sizzles

The story that I have been waiting for since Fresh Catch and what a story it was. Brooke is feisty and snarky but is hiding a huge secret from everyone in Talbot Cove and JJ the barkeep is a grump who just want to enrich the sleepy town with fresh ideas. This enemies to lovers has the hottest hate sex I have ever read. Virginia Rose is truly a voice artist and her Brooke is everything I could ask for and more. I was chuckling so hard during those text stream between the soul sisters because seriously Kate writes the best dialogue in texts. Jeffrey definitely has the grumpy Maine thingy down pat. When the book is cast well the narrators can transcend the words and emotions and they certainly did.

Far Cry

Another great installment in the Talbot's Cove series. Brook & JJ's angsty love-to-hate/hate-to-love you relationship comes across as hard and aggressive but they both need to hold on to their protective armor until the moment they realize it's too heavy to maintain without being able to lean on each other.

Jeffrey Kafer's narration at times seemed like a Walter Cronkite news delivery, but most of the time it fit JJ's crotchety bar-keep character. Virginia Rose's narration of Brooke was great.

Thoroughly enjoyable!!

Brooke and JJ’s fiery relationship is loaded with smack talk, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor that leads to the combustible sexual game of cat and mouse that drives Kate Canterbary’s story. Brooke is beautiful, brilliant, and ballsy but her outer confidence is a ruse that hides a fearful heart. JJ was a little harder to love because he has no patience for social niceties but he’s an interesting combination of grumpy, irascible, and tender hearted when it comes to his old high school crush. I loved the banter between best friends Annette and Brooke, the uncomfortable man to man talks between JJ and Jackson, and the brotherly relationship between JJ and Nolan. Kate’s books always make me laugh and swoon while they help me understand more about the human condition. I listened to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed Virginia Rose’s narration of Brooke’s vulnerability just as much as I appreciated Jeffrey Kafer’s interpretation of JJ’s snarky personality. Their character delivery was spot on and well done.

Very solid

I really liked Virginia Rose’s narration but Jeffrey Kafer doesn’t do the best job distinguishing between JJ and Brooke sometimes and it got a little confusing.

Great book.

Far Cry is an enjoyable book. Set in a small New England town with people full of history of the town, its people, the landmarks and all the gossips. Quick, easy to read and very enjoyable book.

Surprised I made it to the end

I don’t know how to adequately explain why I didn’t like this listen but, I will try my best. This didn’t feel like i was listening to people that are living lives. (It makes since to me so don't question it ok.) What was with the all the texting. There were so many chapters where all they did was text. The texts really didn’t even add to the story they were more like filler. And I appreciate clever writing but I often found myself wondering why they couldn’t just have a couple of conversations where they would just Get. To. The. Damn. Point. It was too much. The lack of details was also off putting. Again about a good 60% of the story was text messages and during all these chapters of texts months were passing. Like about 4 months passed. There was no progression in the story, no thoughts from the Characters while these txts were taking place. So the story kinda got lost for a while. And don’t get me started on the lack of chemistry and connection between the h and H. The first sex scene was in the 2nd or 3rd chap and there was NO foreplay at all, nor was there any in the second and barely any in the third. They didn’t even kiss until the 35th chap ( if they had it wasn’t described.) I could’ve forgiven all of that if they were passionate encounters but they really weren't. It almost seemed like the author didn’t want to write it. Sorry for the long review but I had to share my take because I really like this author and I think I understand what she was going for but it really didn’t work for me.

Enemies to Lovers

This is the epitome of an Enemies to Lovers trope, only taken to a whole new extreme with the level of brattiness the main female character Brooke exudes just to seemingly save face. JJ's surliness does not take a back seat in this either. Both are so made for each other it's a wonder they didn't get there again sooner.
The story brought smiles to my face albeit watery at times. the banter and snark between best friends Annette and Brooke balance out the steam and headbutting done in out out of the sheets with Brooke and JJ.
Jeffrey Kafer was a great fit as he has a style of narration that works best with no nonsense characters. Virginia Rose brought out the essence of Brooke's character, giving the perfect imbalance of hard and soft at the right times for the story.

couldn't get engaged

I struggled to listen to the narration. I couldn't get past first chapter.
Might be great book, she wasn't able to engage my attention. Might be just me.

Male narrator is totally miscast

I had to stop listening to this book because the male narrator is narrating a Humphrey Bogart type murder mystery and the female narrator is narrating a romance novel (which is what I wanted to listen to). It was like trying to listen to two different books at the same time. Whoever decided to cast the male narrator in this role should get out of the business.
