Publisher's Summary

When a bookworm on borrowed time meets a younger free-spirited chicken farmer, sparks and feathers fly....

Harrison Phillip Fletcher III isn't supposed to be here. Not in Burlington, Vermont, not running Vino & Veritas, a quaint inclusive bookstore and wine bar, and definitely not still alive, at 42. Also not supposed to be here? An unexpected delivery of chickens.

Finn Barnes knows chickens. The burly organic farmer knows all about rare breed poultry, but dealing with a hot older bookseller is an entirely different matter. City-slicker types like Harrison never end up staying in Vermont for the long-term.

They should steer clear of each other. But the flare of attraction is mutual. And somehow amid book discussions and farm tours, they discover plenty in common. Now they're stealing kisses in Finn's barn, sneaking out like teens, and burning up the sheets.

What starts as a fling brings very real feelings for two lonely souls, but a future together seems as unlikely as chickens in a bookstore. Feathers may be flying, but learning to trust takes time neither may have. Can they take a leap of faith together before it's too late?

Contains mature themes.

Comfy but a bit of a snooze fest!

In this series opener, stuffed-shirt Harrison Phillip Fletcher III has moved to Vermont for health reasons to open Vino & Veritas, an inclusive bookshop and wine bar. A postal snafu introduces him to organic poultry farmer Finn Barnes and while the two get on like oil and water, over time they learn to appreciate each other. The audiobook is perfectly performed by legendary narrators Kirt Graves (as the buttoned-up Harrison) and Alexander Cendese (as the relaxed Finn), two huge favourites of mine. Like other V&V outings, this is extremely good-natured with minimal angst and maybe that was the problem for me. I felt like we were going through the motions, the initial spark of desire and subsequent romance didn’t quite convince me, and the storyline didn’t hold my attention. I also think Annabeth Albert did such a good job of painting Harrison as stuffy early on, that I had a hard time warming to him or believing he’d thawed. I like the multi-author series and I’m fully prepared to revisit this in case it’s just my current frame of mind.

Enjoyable performance from both narrators

I really enjoy listening to the 2 narrators of Featherbed, so I knew this would be an enjoyable & easy audio to listen to.

At first, the 2 main characters may appear to be not well suited, but they turn out to be just what the other needs! Finn was so good for Harrison, with Harrison rediscovering an appreciation for the smaller every day experiences in life, and learning to just enjoy life and not worry so much about the future.
