About this listen

As a single mom with my hands and heart full, finding love is the last thing on my mind.

Then Everett Windward comes along. My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy—and before I know it, I have a new friend…with benefits.

Fun and filthy benefits. There’s just one problem—He’s also my son’s teacher. That alone should have me pumping the brakes… except it doesn’t. I’m drawn to him and to the way he makes me feel. Everett has a filthy side that has reignited something inside of me that I haven’t felt in years.

Something I thought I lost. But there are rules…My son can’t know.

No sleeping over.

And absolutely no feelings involved. But as time goes on, it becomes impossible to ignore the butterflies in my stomach when I catch him looking at me, or when I watch him play ball with my son day after day. Before I know it, he’s so intertwined in our lives, and I can no longer deny the desire to break the very rules that I put into place to begin with. But it’s not just my feelings I have to consider.

I can see how quickly my son is becoming attached to him. See the way he yearns for that father figure in his life. We have experienced enough hurt and loss to last a lifetime. Can I really open up our hearts, knowing the risk I’m taking?

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 ok i don’t know how Ashley does it but she truly writes THE MOST delectable spice, i never understood everyone thirsting over the nickname “mama” until this book! I genuinely screamed at the realisation of how insanely hot it was 😂 the story was also so cute and heartwarming!

🎧Duet Narration🎧
Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais absolutely nailed this performance, both of them are some of my favourite narrators and once you hear Connor Crais say “mama” you’ll be changed for good 🥵

HOT!! …and heartwarming 😍

I adored this authors MM writing so this was a real treat as a debut in MF. the story is so touching, the spice is next level and Everett's pet name for Gemma is surprisingly sexy. Gemma needed someone to challenge her while still holdingbsoace for her and that is exactly what Everett does. He is the book boyfriend we all need. His relationship with Sutton is equally as beautiful as ghe one with Gemma and it made the heart of this story come alive. Can't wait for more Blossom Beach where we will hopefully see Gemma's sisters Grace and Georgia get their HEAs as well.

An incredible debut

This wonderful small town romance does not just captivate your attention the entire time, but it warms your heart and tugs at your heartstrings too. It is a beautifully written story by A. James, Ashley James’ alter ego and it was great to see another side of her creative mind in this steamy contemporary single mom romance novel. Everett Windward’s father disapproved of his career choice of becoming a teacher, instead of following in his footsteps, but practicing law was not his calling and teaching was. When he inherited his grandmother’s house in Blossom Beach, South Carolina, he uprooted his life, leaving Seattle to move there. He already lined up a new job, now he just needed to get in with the locals, and the friendly small town vibe and rumor mill is helping that come along. Gemma, a single mom of a ten-year-old boy, Sutton, lost her husband when her son was a toddler and she is doing the best she can raising him, and has a great support system who is there for her. She is a published author, so her work hours are flexible, which helps too. She was writing when she met the newcomer in town, but the big surprise came when she learned he was her new neighbor. The two clicked immediately and her son clicked with Everett, too, and it worked out since he would be his new teacher. Gemma has not gotten involved with anyone since her husband, but Everett has wakened something in her, something she had not felt in a long time, a desire for another. The chemistry between these two was smoking hot, and it was great to watch them get to know each other. I loved all the layers of the story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, some charming and heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions, and a sizzling passion filled romance. A. James, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and were fabulous with their portrayal of them, giving each a voice that was fitting and was believable in every role. Brentmoor was a natural in Gemma’s role, showcasing every aspect of her personality and demeanor, and Crais did the same in Everett’s role. Both were just as fabulous performing the roles of the side/secondary characters including young Sutton. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’s emotions and had you feeling each one. These two versatile voice artists make a great team, with voices and talent that complement each other and a performance that elevates the already amazing story to another level. Thanks for another wonderfully entertaining listen!
