Audible audiobook
Author: Avery Maxwell
Narrators: Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais
Dillon Henry’s favorite day of the week is Wednesday – it’s the day he gets to see his friend’s assistant, Penny Mulligan. He brings her coffee, they chat, and it’s the highlight of his week.
Penny lives for those Wednesdays too, because her life is a disaster of gigantic proportions and everything feels like it’s out of her control. Her ex-husband’s cheating and alcoholism has thrown her life (and, consequently, her three boys’ lives) into a spinning circle of hurt, disappointment and shame. She can’t bring anyone into this mess. Plus, her boys will always come first and she’ll fiercely protect them.
What she is not counting on is that Dillon knows she’s it for him – and he knows and embraces that she is a package deal.
One ride to a kid, one blizzard and Dillon is stuck in her town, witnessing her chaotic life up close. And to Penny’s (and the boys’) surprise, he won’t leave.
I went into this audiobook completely blind and I was utterly surprised. I thought I was getting a rom com but was delivered a beautiful, poignant book about love, dedication, loyalty and perseverance.
Narrated dual style by Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais, they even made me tear up a bit. Samantha’s performance as the determined single mom who desperately needs a break is heartwarming and touching. Connor brings all the swoon as the man who has been pining for THE one for three years and has finally decided it’s time she gives him a chance.
It’s a standalone, but now I want to go back and meet everyone in the Westbrook series! Lovely audiobook!
