Summary

Get ready to savour this delectable romantic treat - an audio-first novella by New York Times best-selling author Emily March! 

Valentine’s Day has always meant trouble for wedding photographer Ali Lovejoy. All her worst romantic disasters have happened on V-Day, so she’s made a habit of hiding out at home in her pjs until it’s over. But when her best friend begs her to do an engagement photoshoot on the dreaded holiday, Ali reluctantly agrees and travels to the quaint Colorado mountain town of Eternity Springs to help her bestie.  

While scouting romantic locations for the shoot, Ali is stunned to encounter a naked man skinny dipping in the hot springs. After the most awkward meeting of her life, she eventually agrees to a Valentine’s date with the sinfully delicious stranger. Is she destined for a fresh new disaster - or will she finally find real love?

Trivial but entertaining

The ending is totally predictable. But this is an entertaining short listen if you're doing something else and need a background book (eg doing the ironing or out for a walk). Be prepared to ignore the clichés.

Gorgeous

This is one of the sweetest love stories I have heard and it is not at all gooey. The balance of humour and the spark between Ali and Max is brilliant. I’d love to know if the author has written more - either about the Romano family who sound brilliant or other books. I adored this one.

Short'n' sweet

A lovely bitesize romance giving a sweet story, well delivered and nicely rounded. All in all it is worth a listen when you want easy listening and a reason to smile.

Sweet and easy

This story was a little bit of uplifting on a rainy day.
Nothing deep, complicated or ending with a twist. Just straight forward hope for new love.

Charming

A lovely and charming story it made me want to be there. The final tie-in was a bit weird, though.

Disappointingly rushed plot

In my opinion it feels like the main character doesn’t protest to anything. You say fetch she says how high 🙄 The plot moves wayyyyy too fast like met and 24 hours later they’re planning for 70 years. That’s crazy considering the MC’s past. It’s too bad cause I remember liking the last book I listened to from this author. This one is infuriating, she’s basically given no choice and just goes along with it. Ew

Nonsense

Ridiculous and unbelievable characters. Laughable character names . Read by hammy actors. Time I will never get back! Although I can thank this book for putting me to sleep at least 4 times.
