When Shay Zucconi’s step-grandmother died, she left Shay a tulip farm—under two conditions.

First, Shay has to move home to the small town of Friendship, Rhode Island. Second—and most problematic since her fiancé just called off the wedding—Shay must be married within one year.

Marriage is the last thing in the world Shay wants, but she’ll do anything to save the only real home she’s ever known.

Noah Barden loved Shay Zucconi back in high school. Not that he ever told her. He was too shy, too awkward, too painfully uncool to ask out the beautiful, popular girl.

A lifetime later, Noah is a single dad to his niece and has his hands full running the family business. That old crush is the farthest thing from his mind.

Until Shay returns to their hometown and turns his life upside down.

CW/TW: absentee parent(s), brief mention of parent death, brief mention of parent chronic illness, mention of incarceration, mention of temporary foster care placement, reference to teenage teasing/bullying (not detailed, not explicit), brief incidence of fat-shaming, living with a neurodivergent child.

Produced by One Night Stand Productions.

This is a long story, but it's one that you have to listen to all at once! That is what I did because I could not stop! Kate Canterbary has a gem with In a Jam! What do you do when you are dumped right before your wedding? Shay goes back home, to the place her step grandmother took care of her! The place she couldn't wait to leave. Maybe she can figure out her life there. But the caveats in her will leave her with a few decisions to make. Noah is there, the skinny, high school boy, who now is a gorgeous man in a suit, with the solution. A fake, secret wedding so they can both benefit from the terms of the will. Plus, his unrequited feelings would continue to grow and the biggest plus, Shay can help his niece with tutoring. But how will it end? This book has it all. Laugh out loud scenes, romance all the time, a snarky 6 year old that is impossible not to love, delicious bread and lots of jam! I loved every minute of this amazing book. Full of obstacles and a bit of drama, including tears, it's a listen that you too will not be able to put down.

To make it even better, Kit Swann and Jason Clarke brought it to my ears! Swann is amazing as Shay. She has layers upon layers, each one peeling away and her voice let me hear the changes in her. Clarke's warmth and underlying feeling of love had me loving Noah from the start. Both have spot on comedic timing and as Gennie they pull off this amazing child. Loved it!

Fall in love!

This is a fun and steamy story with some real emotion, well narrated by both actors. Grumpy/ sunshine, fake relationship, second chance, found family. So many great tropes!

excellent narration

This was a reread with the audiobook and the narration made a great story even more amazing. First time around I got this book on KU only, as it was recommended in a reading challenge and I loved it. So, this reread I decided to add the audio (1/2 price for subscribers that have the ebook) and it made it all even more amazing. The story starts with drama and it is sweet and addictive with slow burn and delicious tension until it all happen and it becomes very steamy. Amazing performances from both narrators.

Sweet and spicy story and Great narration
