About this listen

I hired a single mom to help make my small town fall in love with a baseball team. And now I’m the one falling in love…with her.

Buying a small town baseball team might seem an odd choice for a millionaire tech developer, but I welcome the challenge.

Moving back to my hometown and reviving the once-beloved Cedar Creek Thunder is an impulsive attempt to find a deeper purpose, and a life that is measured in happiness rather than dollars.

A chance encounter with the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen has my temperature rising from more than the tea she’s spilled on me. When she walks into my office for an interview later that morning, it quickly becomes clear there’s no one better suited for the job.

Isla Forrester should be off limits, but with a smile that pierces my soul, the single mom is fire wrapped up in sweet temptation. I’ve always had thick walls around my heart, but Isla and her son are breaking them down.

Now my sole purpose is getting her to believe that loving her is no challenge at all.

Luca is a successful businessman who has purchased the baseball team in his hometown and turn their fortunes around. He knows that the first step is promoting the team and that begins with hiring someone to handle the PR. His first meeting with Isla is unforgettable and knows she is perfect for the job however trying to deny his personal feelings for her becomes more difficult with the more time they spend together.

This job is an opportunity that Isla and her son Charlie can’t pass up even if it means starting over in Cedar Creek. She has always felt that she was judged for being a teenage mother and is determined to prove herself worthy of the position and not because of being personally involved with Luca even if he is the most enticing man she ever met and understands her son in ways that few others can.

There are a few twists in the story which allows it to be unique but still has the heartwarming romance and all the feels that we have come to expect from this author. Heather Firth was a great choice for Isla as you feel the conflict she was feelings between her head and her heart while Connor Crais allows you to feel how supportive Luca is by allowing Isla to set the pace of their relationship.

Luca and Isla!

Cedar Creek has all the elements to be a hit as a full of romance small town. Near Dogwood Cove and it great community, lots of characters from the Trident baseball team up in Vancouver and a whole new set of wonderful characters ready to fall in love. Luca and Isla is the first love story full of emotions, fears, but meant to be. Looking forward to the next book in the series. The audiobook with Connor Craigs and Heather Firth will melt your heart.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story was very sweet and I loved the relationship between Luca and Charlie, and how well they connected. Isla was a great character, full of life and all the fears and stress that mother's worry about, but still very strong and capable. I loved the duet style narration and thought both narrators gave great performances. This was a really strong start for the Cedar Creek Thunder series and I'm excited to see what's next.

Sweet and swoony, heart and home
