Always love a single dad romance

This was such a good, quick listen. Jamie is an ER doctor, and Cohen comes in with his son. You see, Cohen is Jamie’s sister’s ex-boyfriend - but there is no love loss there.

This is such an angsty romance but on the lighter side of angst. I truly enjoyed the relationship they built together and how Noah (the kiddo) fit in so seamlessly.

I did listen to this on audio and while I didn’t LOVE the female narrator (just a personal choice), they both did a great job narrating this book.

Narration needs work, but storyline was good

I enjoyed the storyline throughout the book. But the narration made me lose interest.

single dad forbidden slow burn

Whew, Jamie and Cohen were a slow burn in the best way.
This single dad forbidden secret pining story had me in the feels.
Cohen is a single dad of the cutest little dude, Noah. Jamie is Noah's mother's sister, however, Noah doesn't know that. He thinks Jamie is just his dad's friend. Cohen needs help with Noah and Jamie steps in. She's always had feelings for Cohen, but obviously kept those under wraps since he's her sister's ex. Slowly feelings come to the surface, truths are told, and their chemistry and attraction bubbles to the surface and takes over.
Charity maneuvered this entire forbidden situation like a pro and the story line was on point! My only minus is the female narration. I don't feel like Lacy fit the character at all and kind of made Jamie sound a tad whiny. Gregory was ah-mazing!

It’s so swoony

The mutual pining and longing is so well done here, not to mention I’m such a sucker for a messy and complicated story.

The narration? I was always a fan of the male narrator before and this just cemented it even more. The female narrator, I’ve learned that while she may not be a favorite of mine personally, she did so well in getting the emotions across and really making you feel the good and the bad

Story was good; narrators were bad.

Let me start this off by stating that I’m an audiobook consumer. I listen to 2-3 books a day. So when I say the narration is bad, the narration is bad. The female just didn’t fit and at time she was incredibly hard to understand. For this reason alone I nearly stopped the book midway through. But I stuck with it and am glad I did since the story was actually a good read. Too bad the narrative took away from it.

My first Charity Ferrell book!!!!

I have had this book on my TBR for some time now and had the opportunity to listen to it. First let me say I absolutely LOVED this story. The characters (all of them) held my attention. The female narrator took a bit to get used to. The male narrator was great from the beginning.

Cohen had his heart broken when his girlfriend/mother of his son walked out of their lives and signed her rights away like it was nothing. He cut off all communication with anyone from her family and has raised his son his own with help from his sister. Imagine the shock he feels when one day he has to take Noah to the ER and his ex's sister is the doctor.

Jamie always crushed on Cohen but he was 1,000% off limits considering her sister is the mother of his son. Now years later she decides to take a chance and asks Cohen if she can be in Noah's life. While hesitant at first he allows it and over time they start growing closer and closer.

The tension with these two was top notch. There were some bumps in their road but it was enjoyable to see Jamie take charge and go after what she wanted instead of considering everyone else over her happiness and Cohen being right there ready for her!

This series is off to a great start and I cannot wait to get to the rest of the books in the series.

Love This Author

Stirred is the perfect beginning to the Twisted Fox series. I like the characters, I can't help but root for Jamie and Cohen. Heather is the type of woman I can't understand and don't like very much. I love Georgia, the tension with Archer is kinda funny. I have a theory about those two. I really like Charity Ferrel's books. I'm sure this series is gonna be very good, I'm excited to find out.

Stirred is book #1 in the Twisted Fox series and will have you hooked right from the start!

Lacy and Gregory blew my mind with how they brought these characters to life!!! They were perfect and Jamie and Cohen and Noah is freaking adorable!

I am so in love with this series and can't wait for more!

It’s Okay . . . Not The Best . . .

It’s just okay; it’s not the best romance novel I’ve ever read . . . I think the main thing that made it just okay for me was that all the female characters were kinda annoying & I didn’t feel like I could really connect with them because of this. At one point, I even got annoyed with Jamie, the MAIN character, the one you’re supposed to be ROUTING for. She just got really whiny in ski trip scene & I was like, “C’mon; I know you’re not really an outdoorsy person, but you’re acting WORSE than your 5-year-old nephew is right now AND you AGREED to go this trip in the first place for HIS birthday!” 😒 Also, the mother annoyed me at some points, too . . . The way she INSISTED that Heather, Jamie’s sister, stay with Jamie even when she KNEW that the 2 sisters didn’t really get along . . . It’s like, “Why can’t Heather stay over at her parents while she fines a place of her own? Answer: Just to create even MORE unnecessary drama ton the story. That’s it.” But it was really Heather that really got on my nerves. First of all, her behavior just confused me: she wan’t acting like a domestic violence survivor AT ALL. She didn’t try to go back to her abuser ONCE, like so many of them do. She didn’t “blame” it all on yourself, either. She even was mad when she woke up at the hospital; again, not with her abuser, but at her own family. She didn’t seem to be really affected at all by the abuse, either. Almost like she made it all up for attention or something. The whole thing was just really weird and not like a DV survivor AT ALL. AND she was REALLY annoying, too. I found myself asking, “Okay, why did Cohen stay in the relationship for as long as he did? She’s clearly not a very nice person to begin with & Cohen doesn’t really seem to have a lot in common with her, anyway . . . Maybe if they showed more flashbacks to when they were together . . . 🤔 But, anyway, the only characters that DIDN’T annoy me were the men . . . Cohen, hot, single dad who owns a bar, & Noah, his 5-year-old little boy (I guess he’s six now that he had a birthday in the book . . . 😅). Yes, a 5-year-old didn’t annoy me as much as the woman did! 😆 Anyway, I am still gonna continue this series because, despite all this, it did have me smiling and laughing by the end . . . Let’s hope Georgia isn’t so annoying . . . 😉

Great story

I really did enjoy the story, but the female character was pretty naive that it got a little annoying. She does grow through the book a little at a time so that’s a plus. The male narrator was perfect. The female narrator was a little annoying. Her voice didn’t really fit the story for me.
