My stepbrother’s estate is fading fast. My resistance to him is fading faster.

When my marriage hits rock bottom, I escape to South Carolina to help my charming disaster of a stepbrother, Charlie—aka "the douchiest man in Manhattan"—fix up the decaying Southern mansion he's just inherited.

But the house has other ideas. Doors slam, voices whisper, and something—or someone—wants us to be more than reluctant roommates. An old journal confirms it: Charlie and I seem to be mirroring every step of a love story that took place a century ago.

A doomed one.

With every soft moment and stolen glance, it gets harder to imagine ending up with anyone else. But all I’ve ever wanted is a family, and that won’t be happening with a man who once said he’d rather be murdered than father a child.

Our story was written long before we came to this house. But do we still have time to rewrite the way it ends?

There were times that I really disliked Maren during the first book, which is Kit & Miller's story (and is wonderful), but I have loved listening to her & Charlie find their own happiness during this book.
This was an absolute joy to listen to. Wonderful writing and amazing narration from two excellent narrators. It being Duet Narration was just the icing on the cake! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loved Charlie & Maren's story so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sweet slow, slow burn. Charlie and Maren have been fighting their attraction since they met many years ago despite not realising that everyone could see how much they meant to each other. Charlie was never the poster boy for good choices and Maren always felt second best to everyone… money doesn’t buy you happiness and they both had plenty of it.
Renovating a dilapidated mansion brought them closer as friends but also showed them how good they could be together by stepping out of their comfort zone.
Despite their relationship being taboo, the story never really revolved around that but on Maren being married and of course, her infertility. The history enthusiast in me also loves the WWI USA memories that were included in the book.
Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor’s narration of Charlie and Maren was superb.

Elizabeth O’Roark blows me away with another fabulous novel, a heartwarming romance novel that captivates your attention the entire time. This second book in her “Favorites” series is Charlie and Maren’s story, and their story stands on its own, characters from the first book make appearances, but everything you need to know is in the details. BTW, the first book, “My Favorite Bad Decision,” is just as amazing as this, and I recommend them both. Maren always wanted children but has had no luck with getting pregnant, and the stress of that is finally getting to her, as well as her husband’s dictating and demanding ways, and she is seeing him in a different light. She soon realizes that she married for the wrong reason and that their marriage was doomed from the start. When her family sends her to check on her stepbrother, Charlie, she does not like what she finds, him lost in his player ways and not dealing well with the loss of his mom. When she learns what his mother left him, a mansion in South Carolina, she convinces him to fix it up and volunteers to go with him and help. The place was in worse shape than they thought, and haunted, but that did not stop Maren from investigating what or who was calling to her. Maren and Charlie may have been step siblings, but there was an undeniable chemistry between them, one that was far from familial, and one that they did not want to give in to. The more time they spent together, the more drawn they were to each other, until they could not deny each other any longer. It was great watching these two first fight their feelings and then give in to them. Both want different things, so could a relationship really work, and what would their family think? I loved all the layers of this story and how it all played out, with the perfect balance of drama, angst, charming and heartwarming moments, heartfelt emotions and a slow burn, but so worth the wait romance. Also loved the storyline of the history and mystery of the old house, and the parallels to their lives. As always, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Elizabeth O’Roark, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke are amazing at what they do, and adding the words of Elizabeth O’Roark into the mix, you know you are in for a treat of a listen. With voices that were fitting, they delivered a perfect portrayal of each character, embodying each of their personalities, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. Brentmoor was a natural in Maren’s role, just as Clarke was in Charlie’s role, conveying all their characters’ emotions palpably. They are entertaining storytellers, and their captivating performance rivets you to the story.

My Favorite Lost Cause blends family drama, romance, and a touch of the paranormal. When Charlie inherits a run-down South Carolina manor, Maren joins him, and their simmering chemistry finally sparks once she leaves her unhappy marriage. The paranormal thread, with Maren uncovering parallels to a past resident, adds depth to the story.

The audiobook narration is excellent. Samantha Brentmoor captures Maren’s vulnerability and strength, while Jason Clarke is perfect as grumpy, devoted Charlie. Together, they make this an addictive listen, and I’m excited that this isn't the end of the series.

Samantha Brentmoor and Jason Clarke deliver a stellar performance in this audiobook. Their voices are perfectly cast, bringing depth and authenticity to each character. The emotional range they convey, from subtle tension to heartfelt moments, makes the story come alive. Their narration turns listening into a truly immersive experience. Brentmoor and Clarke elevate the story, transforming the listening experience into a truly immersive and delightful journey.

My Favorite Lost Cause, the second installment in The Favorites series, is a beautifully written slow-burn romance that swept me off my feet. Centered around Maren and Charlie, the story is both emotionally charged and irresistibly engrossing and I was hooked from the very first page to the last. This is a captivating read that I’d wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves romance with a touch of mystery and soul.

Excellent
