About this listen

 This small town has got a big heart. And it's about to steal hers.

Hazel Hart was a successful romance novelist until a break-up drove her straight into writer's block. Having failed (and failed some more) to deliver her new manuscript, her publisher finally lays down the law: if she misses her next deadline, it's The End.

Desperate for inspiration, Hazel flees NYC and instead lands in the tiny town of Story Lake, Pennsylvania, enticed by look of a charming new home and convinced that a change of scene is all she needs. That is until she discovers on arrival that 'charm' may have been slightly exaggerated: the house is a wreck, and suddenly the book is the least of her problems.

Enter: Campbell Bishop. Six-feet-three inches of grouchy contractor, who might just be the answer to all her troubles - in life, and in writing. Before Hazel knows it, she's writing a romance novel and living one: fake-dating her contractor is giving this burnt-out writer all the inspiration she needs.

That is until the drywall dust settles, reality hits, and growly Cam suddenly remembers why - away from their make-believe - he's not actually the one who can provide her happily ever after . . .

Get ready to fall in love with this steamy and hilarious romance from the author of the bestselling Knockemout series, packed with sizzling chemistry, small-town charm, and a love story you won't be able to stop thinking about.

Editorial Review

Happily ever after starts here
Lucy Score kicks off a new series with a hilarious and heartwarming rom-com that swept me off my feet. Hazel Hart is a struggling romance writer who impulsively buys a house in Story Lake, Pennsylvania, in hopes that moving to a small town will spark inspiration for a new book. But what Hazel finds in Story Lake is more than she bargained for, in particular Campbell Bishop, the handsomely rugged contractor whom she hires to refurbish her dilapidated new home. Sparks fly as Hazel and Cam navigate renovations, fake dating, and their undeniable chemistry, alongside a lovable cast of side characters you won’t soon forget. Their grumpy-sunshine dynamic is bolstered by funny and flirtatious banter, delivered flawlessly by Score’s go-to narrators, Lila Winters and Sebastian York. Listen to my interview with Lucy Score to learn more about Story of My Life, and to get a sneak peek of what to expect in Book 2. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

I was going through something personally and had given up reading too. After the knockemout series I downloaded this just to pass time and now I feel like it actually made me laugh. It also cheered me up enough to want to get back into motion .. This book means a lot. Amazing read. A typical Lucy Score sassy read. Also my first ever comment and rating ❤️

I love you Lucy Score

This had me laughing out load, while stuck in traffic. To the point where the person in the lane next me to gave me a look. I think they where jealous because I was having fun, and they where not.

4.5✨
