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.

A nice romance for a burst of serotonin.

A nice predictable romance for when you just want something light that will give you the serotonin burst you need.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed listening to this book, even though there were times when Harry was a bit depressing. However, the narrators were good and I probably would listen to it again.

Good book

I enjoyed the book though I did at times find Harrison annoying. The narrators were good as well.

New low for Cendese

I have avoided Cendese for years, but lately I am able to listen to him. I got used to his insulting depicting of women. The two senior lady's in this novel are a new low, for him.
The story was nice but avarage.

Worry can destroy your life

A coincidence in the family can play on your mind and worry you into your grave unless you find something to put you right. This story shows you how. It's charming and beautifully written and narrated.

An alright listen

Adorable story of two unlikely men meeting and figuring out how they fit together and how to let someone love you. I liked the story overall. But I’m not a fan of the narrator for Harrison, I’m now reconsidering his other audiobooks on my TBR 🤦‍♀️

So predictable and not in a good way

I listened to this because I like Kirt Graves and it was free.

I never made it to the end.

The first problem was Alexander Cendese. He really is a terrible reader. He runs one sentence into another so you can't work out what he's saying. His cadence makes no sense and he has some problems figuring out some sentences. It's like he's got somewhere else he would rather be and he just wants the reading over and done with and can't be bothered to get it right. It is made worse by the fact that Kirt Graves is a really good reader. Mr. Cendese's high squeaky voice was also totally wrong for the big strapping farmer. It did not suit him at all. When will the higher-ups at Audible realise they are in the business of producing audiobooks and needs to spend more time and effort getting these details right?

The second problem was the story. The relationship between these two opposites was ridiculously improbable. On occasions, the Harrison character was incredibly rude to the Finn character. But as long as they all fancy each other that doesn't seem to matter. I couldn't feel anything for either of them as they both seemed incredibly shallow.

This is one to avoid folks.
