About this listen

Welcome to the Frisky Bean, with coffee to wake you up and pastries to turn you on.

Listen. My daily goddess card tried to warn me that a big change was coming. She did. But I was still not prepared for the impact that he would have on my life. That day when we met, I quite literally fell into him.

It was mortifying. It was exhilarating.

It was totally unprofessional. It was hot.

While our actions and bodies were most definitely aligned, our intentions were not. How so, you ask?

Well, I was blissfully busy pursuing my goals for my new café, The Frisky Bean. I did not ask, nor have the time, to deal with complications. And since I felt as though we were both falling hard, all seemed well-blended.

That right there was mistake number one through five thousand, because he has no understanding of love, and my goddess cards have some explaining to do.

Here’s what I know. Sometimes, even the best recipes flop, while a recipe riddled with mistakes can yield unexpected perfection. What were we?

A freaking delight. Stop asking me and listen to our story.

Don’t forget your oven mitts, because one thing we were very good at is bringing the heat.

CW: discussed childhood, loss of a parent to cancer, and parental neglect.

This was such a cute and fast paced romcom by a new to me author. Summer is seriously lacking a verbal filter which is super awkward for her, but fun for us. Jason keeps showing up at just the right time. Both are hard working and focused on their careers and neither are quick to let people in.

I really enjoyed this sweet story. The MCs fell hard and fast from the first awkward meeting and stumbled, much like Summer, into their HEA. The writing worked for me and the side characters helped fill it out well. The narration was excellent as I've come to expect from Emma and Joe. They are a great narrator team as their emotional performances and beats are well matched, and the transitions between POVs are really smooth making it a very easy and enjoyable listening experience.

🧁Fun, adorably awkward and charming

This is a new to me author and it was a great surprise.
The writing was quick and smart with great banter. I found myself laughing and giggling through so much of the dialogue
The spice level was great and those scenes were hot
The narration duo of Emma and Joe was well done as usual.

I enjoyed this book immensely, the story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and holding it the entire time. It is a sweet and spicy story with a perfect balance of drama, humor, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst, and a steamy romance. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they were easy to care about too. Summer is the co-owner of The Frisky Bean, a unique bakery and coffee shop, and I loved the whole concept behind it and the naming of the products. The shop is doing well, but Summer and her partner work hard to keep the people coming into their business and area looking at ways to expand. Jason Winters is an agent for the stars and a potential client raved about the shop and its goods, so he went there to get some treats for her. And then there was Summer, and he felt an instant attraction to her and the feeling was mutual. I adored Summer, quirkiness and all. Jason was straight-laced in comparison, but they worked and it was great to watch their relationship blossom. Except Jason’s insecurities and need to compartmentalize his life may cost him the best thing in his life. There was never a dull moment in this wonderfully plotted story, and I loved how it all played out. Michelle Mars, thank you for this entertaining story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧  And for the fantastic narration, Emma Wilder and Joe Arden were the perfect cast to bring these characters and the story to life. They had a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice fitting to that character’s persona and were believable in every role they played. Wilder aced it as Summer, and I loved how she owned the role, grasping her quirkiness and all the other sides of her personality. Arden did the same as Jason, nailing his demeanor and personality perfectly. Both were fabulous playing the secondary characters and handling the humor and witty dialogue easily. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters' emotions and had you feeling them all. These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.  

Sweet, Spicy & Entertaining! Great Story & Listen!

This was the first book I’ve read or listened to by Michelle Mars, but I expect to listen to more. I enjoyed the book/author/book store references. I also liked that the characters talked about what was bothering them.

I’ve listened to many books performed by Emma Wilder and Joe Arden, and yet they somehow exceeded my high expectations. Emma Wilder’s male voices are exceptional, and Joe Arden delivers lines while sounding truly distracted, out of breath, etc. I’d like to give them more than 5 stars for their excellent audio performances.

I received a copy of this book at my request, and the opinions here are my own.

Excellent performances by both narrators

This is a new author to me and I am glad I had a listen to this one. The narration was top shelf and this book has everything I expected. It was funny, steamy and has characters you just wanted more of. I loved Summer & Jason’s story and can’t wait to get more stories from their world. I would definitely recommend this book.
