Along Came You: Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

Elliot carries guilt over past family tragedy, Fern has carried the weight of raising her siblings when their mother was absent. I loved this insta-connection, age-gap, secret billionaire romance. Claudia Burgoa has a lovely and heartbreaking style of writing family, friendships, healing hearts, and swoon-worthy romance. When Elliot offers to aid in Fern’s dream to build an affordable community in California, sparks fly between the two. Fern and Elliot have a steamy, heartwarming, tear-jerker workplace love story that will melt your heart. I love the way the Spearmans welcome Elliot into their lives as he volunteers his time to help build the community project. Family dynamics, life changes and unexpected bonds are formed in this age-gap, second chance at love romance.

Connor Crais and Stephanie Németh-Parker are brilliant as Elliot and Fern. Connor’s performance of Elliot’s tormented, handsome, maverick character is everything! Stephanie gives a beautiful performance to bring Fern’s young, heartfelt, witty, kind-hearted personality to life. Connor and Stephanie do a terrific job of voicing all the ancillary, big-family characters. Fern and Elliot’s altruistic-minded, compassionate, big-hearted characters and Claudia Burgoa’s heart-wrenching, sweet, flirty story make this a lovely listening adventure!

I am loving this series and the Spearman siblings, well before this book I would have said I loved the Spearman brothers, but Claudia Burgoa made love their sister, Fern, just as much, maybe even more since she was their rock and the glue who helped keep them all together, maybe not single-handedly but she was there for all of them and continues to be.And if the Spearman’s are not enough to love this book, add Elliott McPhee into the mix and wow, just wow. The man is everything you want and don’t want in a man, good looks, power, charm, smarts, drive, money and did I mention good looks, oh yeah, he is a winner and a catch, except he does not want to be caught. He had met the love of his life, married her, then blew it all and he never got over that and never wanted to, he just built a fortress around his heart and locked the doors. But a chance meeting with a girl who was just looking for a table to eat her lunch turned into something way more and possibly found someone who could open the doors to his heart. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted with a perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst, humor, and a wonderful romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Connor Crais and Stephanie Nemeth Parker are superbly talented narrators and voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit for their character’s persona, and were believable in every role they played. Crais nailed it as Elliott and Parker did the same for Fern, both were great performing the roles of the secondary characters as well. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they captured their characters’ emotions and projected them into their performance and had you feeling every single one. They set the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with ease and never missed a beat. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances the amazing story another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.
