Summary
Noah and Oscar have been married for five years, and now they’ve become parents to an adorable baby girl. Life seems just about perfect, but a sudden illness puts Noah’s sister Rebecca into a coma, which brings Noah’s mother and father back into his life. As they battle for control over the care of Rebecca, Noah must also defend his little family against his bigoted parents. Oscar and the Lozada clan have his back, but only Noah can truly stand up to his parents, once and for all - if he can find the courage to do it.

Intense
I loved visiting with Noah & Oscar and and there while family but wow it got super intense, thrilling and a little scary towards the end there, very drastic story but I love a good thrill and I honestly didn't see half of this happening which is really awesome. I'm glad they got their HEA, closure and hopefully a more peaceful life from here in out

Interesting story line
So I rather enjoyed this plot. I found Oscar and Noah to be engaging and well written. Their story did have some aspects of the unbelievable, but after all fiction allows for that. Bradley does an okay job of narration over all but there are times that are ehh.

Settling Down and Settling the Score
Settle Down is the sequel to The Troll Whisperer and really should be read after reading the first book; however, it does work well as a standalone. The main themes of this contemporary romance are family and acceptance.
Oscar and Noah have been happily married for years and are new fathers to their infant daughter, Betty. However, a family tragedy has Noah reaching out to his bigoted parents—a mistake that will have devastating consequences. But don’t worry! Just like any good romance, this one does have a happy ending.
This book is told from Noah’s point of view, the same way the Troll Whisperer had been told from Oscar’s point of view, and we really get a deep look at all the insecurities and trauma Noah has from his upbringing. There are some really dramatic and crazy moments, but the book has a satisfying happy ending that I thought was well done. I really enjoyed this book and finished it in one day. The pace of the plot was fast but never felt rushed, and there was a lot of character development. I absolutely love Oscar’s family and the relationship between Noah and Oscar is wonderful.
The audiobook was narrated by Michael T. Bradley who did a great job. The voices he choose for each character were perfect and consistent. I had no trouble following along with the story. Plus, he infused a lot of energy into his performance and that made the audiobook just as exciting as the story. I highly recommend it.

Not at all what I expected!
I have to be honest; I did not read the blurb for this book. I wanted to listen to it simply because it was the sequel to The Troll Whisperer. That was a story I had a hard time getting into but ended up liking a lot. While this is a sequel, set five years after The Troll Whisperer, I actually think it stands alone pretty well. However, for all of the background on Oscar and Noah I do recommend reading The Troll Whisperer first.
So, since didn't read the blurb I didn't really know what to expect and boy was I shocked – but in a good way. This story kept me engaged right from the start, grabbed hold and didn't let me go. My heart was pounding so hard in places I got a little bit worried (OK, not really, but it was very tense). I listened to this from beginning to end in one session.
If you read The Troll Whisperer, you already know some of the background on Noah's family but I never thought they would turn out to be as evil as they did in this book. A word of warning, if you are a Jehovah's Witness you won't want to read or listen to this book. Thank goodness I am not and I floved it!!
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author and/or narrator.

A wonderful continuation on the series!
After reading the first book on this series, I'd never expect a continuation like this with a complex plot, involving religion, intolerance, a kidnap and even dangerous situations. Of course, as they overcame all these obstacles, we witnessed just how strong and powerful is the love between Oscar and Noah. Above all, this is simply a wonderful and unique love story complemented by the amazing performance and voice acting of Mr Bradley. A captivating narration.

very very good!
I really love this series and all the characters (both the main two and the side characters) and the second book was as good as the first. I loved catching up with Noah and Oscar and meeting their cute daughter. The storyline was interesting and heartbreaking and I really liked how it was resolved. Great book and the narrator was brilliant!

I bought the ebook of this before I ever finished "The Troll Whisperer" because I knew I wanted more of Noah and Oscar. I enjoyed this story just as much as the first one. In that book, the focus was on Oscar and his growth as a human being. Here, our focus is on Noah and his toxic family. I have a weak spot for stories where a character must face the fact that it may be necessary to your survival to stand up to and then leave behind your birth family to make a life with a supportive, found/made family. That is Noah's job here and it is wonderfully depicted. Noah's pain will break your heart, but if you thought Oscar was really something in book one, wait until you see him in this book. His love and support for Noah will make you fall in love with him all over again and when the crisis comes at the end you will be rooting so hard for this couple. Another stunning achievement by an author who has become a "once click" buy for me. The performance by Machael T. Bradley is equal to the emotional requirements of this book. He makes Noah's pain achingly real and listening to Noah and Oscar together is magical.

Read at 1.05 speed on Audible.
This is my first book by Sera, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I didn't read the blurb, straight in to the book.
I struggled a little with the narrator but I think that's because I'm from England and he had an American accent that was hard sometime.
The story is lovely, but also tragic, with lots of heartache, abuse and religion. My heart was all over the place reading this.
It ends in a partial Happy ending. I wish I could say more but I don't want to put any spoilers out there.
Great characters, great story I listened straight the way through and I started at 10.30pm. So yes it late now. But I needed to finish it.

Couldn't connect
I wanted so hard to love this, but I couldn’t figure out how Oscar ended up married to Noah. Noah was genuine and just sooo nice! Oscar seemed like a deep seated jerk. Noah’s parents were awful. Some of the things that were said were horrific. I admit I didn’t read the first book in the series, but I can’t imagine there would be anything there that would endear me to Oscar.
It was a bit disappointing for me, but if you enjoy the characters and the series, you’ll probably enjoy this listen.
