About this listen
Bestselling author Melissa Ferguson's The Cul-de-Sac War takes "all's fair in love and war" to a whole new level in this hilarious enemies-to-lovers rom-com about two neighbors. Fences get crossed, pranks escalate, and sparks fly, perfect for fans of Set It Up and It Happened One Summer.
"Melissa Ferguson delivers another heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply felt story." --Patti Callahan, NYT bestselling author
Actress Bree Leake doesn't want to be tied down, but just when it's time to move on again, Bree's parents make her an offer; hold steady in Abingdon for one full year, and they will give her the one thing she's always wanted--her grandmother's house. Her dreams are coming true . . . until life throws her some curve balls.
And then there's her new neighbor. Chip McBride.
For the first time in her life, she's met the person who could match her free-spirited air--and it's driving her to the ledge of sanity. She would move heaven and earth to have him out of her life, but according to the bargain she's struck, she cannot move out of her house and away from the man who's making her life miserable. So begins Bree's obsessive new mission: to drive Chip out of the neighborhood--and fast.
Bree isn't the only one who's a wee bit competitive, and as Chip registers what Bree's up to, he's more than willing to fight fire with fire. But as their pranks escalate, the line between love and hate starts to blur.
"Melissa Ferguson delivers romantic comedy at its finest--full of banter, heart, and irresistible charm." --Katherine Reay, bestselling author of The Printed Letter Bookshop

Melissa Ferguson paints vivid pictures with her words, uses hilarious metaphors and funny dialogue.
Although you don’t find out the characters are Christian until about chapter 15, the “showing” of their characters and how they conducted themselves overall is evident. Chip shares his insight to Bree that this life has its limitations and the life to come is where true contentment can be gained.
There’s a beautiful scene of the father’s heart also shown at the end regarding Chip’s dad.
I can appreciate that this book “shows” Christian living rather than “preaching.”
The pranks and fun are great for entertainment and I cracked up several times throughout and had a smile on my face for most of the book.
The narrator did an excellent job with the character voices and nailed the male voices which can be off putting in a romance if done wrong. So well done to Kate Rudd. 5 stars for your performance too.
Overall, 5 stars all the way.
So much fun
