She's from the wrong side of the tracks...
Liberty Jones has dreams and determination that will take her far away from Welcome, Texas—if she can keep her wild heart from ruling her mind. Hardy Cates sees Liberty as completely off-limits. His own ambitions are bigger than Welcome, and Liberty Jones is a complication he doesn’t need. But something magical and potent draws them to each other, in a dangerous attraction that is stronger than both of them.
He's the one man she can't have...
When Hardy leaves town to pursue his plans, Liberty finds herself alone with a young sister to raise. Soon Liberty finds herself under the spell of a billionaire tycoon—a Sugar Daddy, one might say. But the relationship goes deeper than people think, and Liberty begins to discover secrets about her own family’s past.
Will they find their hearts' desires or will heartbreak tear them apart?
Two men. One woman. A choice that can make her or break her. A woman you’ll root for every step of the way. A love story you’ll never forget.

Story: 4 Stars. I fell in love with Hardy, Liberty and Gage all over again.
Audio: 3 Stars. This narrator's voice is fairly high-pitched and works well for female characters, but not so much for male characters. As far as audios go, this was just okay for me.

Story: 5 Stars. The subject of domestic abuse is never an easy one to tackle but Lisa Kleypas has done so with honesty, heart, and Hardy. Hardy Cates is my jam, that is all. *swooning*
Audio: 2 Stars. This narrator has a low, husky, seductive voice that did not match (in my head) with Haven Travis. She also managed to make all of the Travis men, as well as Hardy Cates, sound like ignorant good 'ole boys which they are not. If not for the story, I would have DNFd this.

Story: 5 Stars Watching Jack, Ella and Luke's story unfold was even better the second time around. (The epilogue made me cry--again.)
Audio: 2 Stars This was not my first audiobook by this narrator, and she generally does an okay job. However, 90% of the time, she sounded like she had something in her mouth which became increasingly distracting.
Wedding planner Avery
Crosslin may be a rising star in Houston society, but she doesn't
believe in love—at least not for herself. When she meets wealthy
bachelor Joe Travis and mistakes him for a wedding photographer, she has
no intention of letting him sweep her off her feet. But Joe is a man
who goes after what he wants, and Avery can't resist the temptation of a
sexy southern charmer and a hot summer evening.
After a one night stand, however, Avery is determined to keep it from happening again. A man like Joe can only mean trouble for a woman like her, and she can't afford distractions. She's been hired to plan the wedding of the year—a make-or-break event.
But complications start piling up fast, putting the wedding in jeopardy, especially when shocking secrets of the bride come to light. And as Joe makes it clear that he's not going to give up easily, Avery is forced to confront the insecurities and beliefs that stem from a past she would do anything to forget.
The situation reaches a breaking point, and Avery faces the toughest choice of her life. Only by putting her career on the line and risking everything—including her well-guarded heart—will she find out what matters most.

Story: 3 Stars. A good story just wasn't the one I was expecting. Read my full review HERE.
Audio: 4 Stars. This was the first time I'd listened to an audio read by Brittany Pressley, and she did a great job. She captured the voice of the characters and brought them to life without going overboard on the Texan accent. It actually made the story more enjoyable for me.
