A little subdued, a little stubborn, a little tired of going out on blind dates with men who drive vans with sofas in the back, Jane Alcott is living the Single Girl existence in the big city. She is also leading a double life. By day she's a reporter covering the raucous Seattle Chinooks hockey team - especially their notorious goalie, Luc Martineau. By night she's a writer, secretly creating the scandalous adventures of "Honey Pie"...the magazine series that has all the men talking.
What is it about men anyway? Bad cars, bad jobs, even bad teeth - nothing convinces them that they can't snare a size-two babe with a D-cup chest. And after way too many Internet dates with men named "luvstick" and "bigdaddy182", Lucy Rothschild should know. But sitting across from her now is "hardluvnman", and he seems different - sensitive, honest, and hot! He says he's a plumber while Lucy claims she's a nurse. She's really a mystery writer, dating online while researching her next book.
Nick's always trying to fix people, and nobody could use a good fixing more than Taylor. Sure, she's gorgeous, with mesmerizing silver eyes, but it's her vulnerability that kills him. Now that they're shacking up together, the chemistry is out of control. Soon they're putting every part of their two-bedroom apartment to good use. Then Taylor's ex comes crawling back to her, and Nick figures she'll jump at the chance to go back to her old life - unless he fights for the best thing that ever happened to him.
Dumped by her boyfriend and burnt out by her job, Kate Hamilton has returned to Gospel, Idaho, where a Mountain Momma Crafters' original poetry reading is about as good as it gets on a Friday night. Then her first attempted seduction of a hunky stranger is completely rejected. So much for her self-esteem! It turns out that Rob Sutter, former ice hockey madman, owner of Sutter's Sports - and the hunky stranger who told her to get lost - has been more than burned by love and isn't looking for a relationship.
Officer Luc Moretti had no idea that his dive into the East River would have him drowning in a media frenzy. No matter how many times he tells reporters he was just doing his job, they're determined to make him into NYC's newest hero. Coming from a long line of NYPD's finest, Luc knows that being a cop has nothing to do with headlines and viral videos, and he's more than ready to get back to life away from the cameras - until he meets the gorgeous but jaded journalist assigned to film a TV special on him....
After losing her sister in a devastating car accident, chef Quinn Weller is finally getting her life back on track. She appears to have it all: a loving family, a dream job in one of LA's hottest eateries, and a gorgeous boyfriend dying to slip an engagement ring on her finger. So why does she feel so empty, like she's looking for a missing piece she can't find?

Daisy Lee Monroe thought she'd brushed the dust of Lovett, Texas, off her high-heeled shoes years ago, but she's come back home only to find that little has changed. Her sister is still crazy, and her mom still has pink plastic flamingos in her front yard. And Jackson Lamott Parrish, the bad boy she'd left behind, is still so sexy it hurts. She'd like nothing better than to avoid this particular man, but she can't. Daisy has something to say to Jackson, and she's not going anywhere until he listens.
Jackson learned his lesson about Daisy the hard way, and now the only word he's interested in hearing from Daisy's red lips is good-bye. But she's popping up everywhere, and he doesn't believe in coincidence. It seems the only way to keep her quiet is with his mouth, but kissing Daisy had once been his downfall. Is he strong enough to resist her now? Strong enough to watch her walk out of his life again? Strong enough to make her stay?
This is one of my favorite Rachel Gibson books and was thrilled to see it was out on Audible now ! I loved listening to the story - it was good & entertaining. I recommend this to anyone who likes contemporary romance books. Great chemistry between the characters !

I'm about three-quarters through this book and I have to say I am soooo over the angst. I love Rachel Gibson novels mostly because they are fun and sexy and have characters that are easy to like. But, this one has so far been a UBER let down. Even this far into the book, I cannot make myself like or root for the heroine. I think the secret she kept from Jack is unforgivable and I cannot see this working out. All of her excuses for why she kept her secret were lame, unfounded, and completely selfish. Not only did this lowdown woman keep a horrible secret from a man she claims to have "loved, " but she married his best friend to boot. WTF, Rach? I can't help assuming at this point that any HEA would be totally forced. I want my money back. This chick is not heroine material.
*The overall 3 stars is because I enjoy listening to Kathleen Early.

I really liked this story. The sweet friendship of the school children followed by betrayal and then the home coming worked very well.

This story was perfect. Perfect pacing and characters and depth. Loved every minute and didn't want it to end. Love how Jack learned to forgive.

Rachel Gibson books are always a good romantic escape. Nothing very heavy or deep, but a nice read about characters who seem real, dealing with everyday problems and finding love along the way.

I'm a big fan of author when Ms Early reads her books!! Together they paint a great fun listen that takes you right to the center of story.
Note: I do use the new 1.25x speed to match the author's intent.
The dialogue, especially when set in Texas, is my fave. e.g. Rescue Me (listened more than once as it's one of my best faves from author, just brings big smiles to your face)
This book e.g. Sugar Muffin is just a small example of the dialogue, that just makes you smile.
This is light story, so take note that our heroine has come back to Make It Right. If you don't like weak heroines who bury emotions and situations until they go away, then this light story may not be the one you start with, but when you become a big fan, you will really enjoy this book.
Another fave of author read by Ms Early, Sex lies and online dating, yum. Simply Irresistible ranks right up there as well but Ms Early male voice had not quite been as deep as in later reads. However, it's not too be missed. I hope these stories bring you enjoyable listening time.
Let me know if my comments helped you?

Other reviews have said it. The reason for the conflict is very weak on the part of the h. The betrayal of the best friend and all he says in the letter is so messed up.
Bottom line the book needs to be about 40k to 60k words longer. The h was really small minded and was not begging for forgiveness but demanding it. No she needed to really suffer and learn that she was truly small minded and her and the guy she ran away with knowing what the knew where cruel at a level to be groveling and showing a turn around that was just not here.
If this was a book where the H did something that messed up (and there are many) the H would need to do a lot to earn back the h good graces. Not demand forgiveness but earn it by action and true contrition.

What a waste of listening time. I give up on this author. The plot is always the same. I have a secret I have to tell you . Oh wait it’s not the right time. Let’s have sex, now it’s not the right time to say my secret. I’ll do it tomorrow.. oh no! I was kissed let me enjoy this moment I’ll tell you later. It goes on and on like this in all her books then ta-da he accidentally finds out we fight then live HEA.
I didn't enjoy the characters in this story. The book was read with to much smokey breathy voice. It was hard to like Jack the main character when the voice sounded like too many cigarettes and talking sexy breathy during the regular friendly dialogue. Trying too hard to talk sexy all the time. Daisy is an idiot in this story, makes me not care want happens to the main characters unless they died..and the friends are like- I had to kill them- they were on my nerves.
