About this listen

Like his parents Andy and Laura Friessen, Gabriel knows what it means to face an impossible situation. When he puts up an ad looking for a roommate, he never expects to meet a down-on-her-luck gorgeous single mom with a meddling family, a crazy ex-boyfriend, and enough chemistry between them to heat a county. The only problem is she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after and sees falling in love as a mistake only fools make. But Gabriel can’t stop thinking about her, wanting her, and is determined to show her the road to love isn’t as dangerous as she believes.

I enjoyed listening to this book. It was sweet and satisfying with flawed relatable characters and a wonderful happily ever after. It was my first book by Lorhainne Eckhart and I was happy to see that it was part of a larger series focusing on a very large family.

Elizabeth is a single mother down on her luck thanks to her crazy, stalkerish ex. Gabriel has a house he is renovating and living in and needs a housemate to manage the expenses of his project. It may seem like a match made in heaven but there is the ex to contend with as well as their personal issues. I do wish that there was more of a gradual buildup from Elizabeth and Gabriel's initial attraction to the actual start of their relationship. Considering their personal issues, their relationship started a little suddenly for me.

Lili Dubuque does a great job narrating the book. She is able to give the characters voices that match their descriptions and personality.

Overall, this book definitely a feel-good, sweet romance.
