Carmichael Family Series 

Audible audiobook provided by Valentine PR

Author: Adriana Locke

Narrators: Mackenzie Cartwright and Jacob Morgan 

Banks Carmichael is the “baby” of the family – a position he is not willing to relinquish. He’s got everything working for him. He’s super cute, adorable, everyone loves him and he gets away with everything. Including the never-ending pranks he pulls on his brothers. Life has been pretty good until his newlywed brother and his wife rope him into hosting her best friend Sara at his place for a few weeks. Sara’s been down on her luck, having lost her great Jon, her boyfriend and her apartment in one sitting. Neither one is happy with the arrangement because they have a history of bickering and it won’t be fun. Well, after a hilarious situation that includes a certain “toy” clogging a pipe, Banks agrees to take Sara in. Well, we all know where this is going, right? And we’re here for it! 

Oh, I had SO MUCH FUN with this one! Banks could be just an annoying man-child but he is actually adorable and swoony. Sara is hurt and so very much alone and despondent and Banks (and with him come all the Carmichaels) is just what she needed! 

As soon as I finished this one, I went to get the stories of the other Carmichaels because, just like Sara, I feel for this whole family of chicken daddy pranks, silly races, Sunday dinners and a man who takes an old lady to lunch regularly. 

Narration: This narrator duo is an absolute dream! Mackenzie Cartwright plays Sara perfectly – sassy but with an underlying sadness and vulnerably that’s very touching. Jacob Morgan is at his best as the witty, charming, swoony and adorable Banks (as well as his family. He’s a hoot as Damaris!). He cranked up the Southern boy full on for this one and it’s a delight! Highly recommend!
