About this listen

I fled Boston and my cheating jerk of an ex with $300 and a lip gloss in my pocket. Waking up the next day in Burlington, Vermont, with a crick in my back and a frozen ass wasn't exactly in the plan. If there was one. Which there wasn't. Story of my life.

Three hours later and I've been hired as temporary help in the local veterinary and grooming clinic, which is kind of impressive since I know zip about animals and even less about grooming. But one thing I do know - I'm crushing hard on the sexy, absentminded vet for whom I work.

My life is a hot mess. The last thing I need is another relationship. Emmett pushes all my buttons, but he isn't out. He's overwhelmed with a business to run and a son to look after and the kind of domestic life I never thought I wanted.

I should walk away.

But Emmett believes in me, and I might just be starting to believe in myself. As different as we are, is it possible we're exactly what the other needs?

Contains mature themes.

I loved this story. It had some genuine laughs, and kept me wanting to listen. Ok, so we gotta talk about the narration. Gary Furlong was great as usual. I normally like Iggy Toma, he's got a distinct voice that makes the characters come alive. But the man cannot do a Kiwi accent to save his life. I'm sorry, but it was terrible. He didn't even keep the accent straight, it sometimes drifted British, sometimes South African, not once was it Kiwi like the character was supposed to be. It took me out of the story. The upside though was whenever I heard it, right up until the end, it gave me a laugh because of just how bad it was.

Lovely story with a couple of surprises

Loved the story. The highs and lows. The drama. I really like Iggy Toma as a Narrator. But felt they should have stuck with one narrator. In this case Gary Furlong did the NZ accent better. Assuming he is a Kiwi. Iggy's Kiwi accent sounded like South African instead. Or they could have used Iggy for Emmett and Gary for Ty. Overall still thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Wonderful story, I enjoyed listening immensely. Jay Hogan did an amazing job, I love his voice, he does an excellent job.
This is my second Jay Hogan book and I’ve loved how the story is put together, the character build ect. I enjoy the humour, the snark, everything really.
Well done.

The actors ' voices were wrong. One was too old for one of the characters. The other's attempt at a New Zealand accent were... dismal. It's a shame.

a disappointment

It’s a story. Adored the MCs but the horrifying accent is tough to get passed.

Story great but…

I listened to the audiobook after already reading the book - so I knew that I loved the story. Gary Furlong's narration was excellent - pretty close to a NZ accent, and super engaging. He really brought his character alive. The other narrator's NZ accent wasn't strong - but it was still enjoyable overall.

Great and engaging audio

Loved this story so much but could not get in to the audio. The characters are written with so much life and passion but the narration is so wooden and lifeless. In the end, I bailed on the audio and stuck with the written.

Disappointing Audio

the kiwi accent completely ruins it. it was bad enough in the first chapter but in the Emmett chapters it was the worse

That kiwi accent is so grating
