I really enjoyed this story about finding love when you don’t believe in it, in a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business and gets right into the mix of it. Steph knows there are no lasting relationships all she has to do is look at her parents to know this is true. She is a very strong woman but at the same time weak. She isn’t about to let a man take over her life and tear her world apart. That is until Gavin walks in and turn her world upside down. He is so strong and knows just how to get to the lady. Oh he would love to find love and the woman of his dreams but it sure isn’t Steph. Gavin has been told she is a man eater, one nightstand only. He believes this for a while that is until he sees the real her and the pain she hides from everyone else. Gavin has one rule let the other men go, or he walks, she has one rule never giving up playing the field. When these two meet there are some very delightful baiting as they dance around each other demanding to have their way.

Mr. Dove’s narration he pulls you in with a very strong and powerful voice. There are no background noises or repeating of words just a wonderful delightful listen. If any breaks were taken I could not tell he just delivers a very clean, clear and power audio. His tones are outstanding you can feel the passion, excitement coming right out of your speakers. His male voices are a wonderful as his female. You always know who is talking and what they are feeling. His normal voice is just a delight to listen to as he gives you the facts pulling you in to a world that has gone crazy. You can tell he has put a lot of thought into each character the voices fit them so well. He gives just enough pause, to let what he just read sink in giving it a powerful impact on the listener. Mr. Dove knows how to pull you in taking you on a ride that will leave you holding your breath wanting to pull the characters out of the story to keep them safe. His Performance is one of the best narrators I have listened to. I know when I see his name it is going to be a wild exciting ride.

I thought the author gave a wonderful story that shows excitement, pain and just what bought that all about. There are a few stories inside of this story that really holds your attention making you want to go back and read their stories. I just loved the humor and how Gavin handled Steph. I would be just like her if he called me sweetheart in the tones he did. You will laugh and chuckled your way through, I found this to be a delightful listen that really pulled me in. I honestly didn’t want it to end I was having so much fun. I don’t know which one of them was more shocked at finding they fell in love with the opposite of what they thought they wanted. It was a wonderful listen that I couldn’t put down and plan to listen to it again. It is well worth your time. I do hope you will give this a listen.

Summary
It's New Year's Eve...and now or never for these two hearts.
When a woman with no faith in love meets the quintessential nice guy determined to breach her mile-high walls, sparks fly as both fight a decidedly unwelcome but equally unavoidable attraction.
Steph Hargrove was a bombshell, a sexy, intrepid woman operating in the business world with guts, brains, and daring. She was accustomed to going after whatever she wanted, until a man she called a friend betrayed her and the company she'd helped build - and nearly killed her in the process. Since that time, she's been a shadow of the wild, wicked woman who'd carved a swath through her world.
Gavin O'Neill is an artisan with wood, a gardener, a restorer of battered homes, and a savior of strays. When first he meets the wounded woman who postures as invincible and worldly, the sadness in her eyes draws him even more than her lush figure does. However she insists otherwise, he sees that she needs the kindness and friendship he can give to her while he's waiting for the woman of his dreams, who will be small and soft and sweet, different in every way from the woman he keeps returning to see.
Yet while he's not interested in the virago, and she refuses to be nurtured, a potent attraction keeps them circling each other. And while they're busy listing the reasons they're unsuited, something powerful is growing between them.
New Year's Eve is for lovers and new beginnings.... Will these two stubborn souls take the risk?
