About this listen

Sienna Diaz is everyone's favorite "fat" funny lady. The movie studio executives can't explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood's most beautiful elite. The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna.

But she has a problem: she can't read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. Therefore, when Sienna's latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the back roads of Green Valley, Tennessee. Much to her consternation, Sienna's most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky park ranger by the name of Jethro Winston.

Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it's not Jethro's chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. It's his southern charm. And gentlemanly manners. And habit of looking at her too long and too often.

Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heartthrobs. But can she traverse the tenuous trails of Tennessee without losing her head? Or worse, her heart?

Another fabulous addition to this series about the Winston family and how each find their HEA.

When Jethro comes upon a lost Sienna who would have thought that two people so diametrically opposed in their upbringing could find true love.
Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook and the narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life and I highly recommend ❤❤❤❤❤

This is a wonderful romance between two characters that should never have met but, once they did, just could not resist each other. I enjoyed listening to this book and I often laughed out loud at the humour and banter not only between the two main characters, but also the H’s many siblings.

That said, I did have a minor criticism: A huge part of the plot centred around the consequences of a romance between an A-list Hollywood movie star, and a small-town “mountain man” with a shady past. However, after much anticipation of what could happen, we never really got to experience the resulting fall-out. After their engagement went public, there was a bit of a minor mis-understanding which was sorted quickly, and that was pretty much it. I was left feeling just a little cheated at not actually finding out what happened next. Was her career affected? How much trouble did the press cause descending onto a small town? How was the H portrayed by the media? What about the implied threat from his father? Like the previous book, there was several plot threads that were just not tied up and that left me feeling a bit frustrated.

Not frustrated enough, however, to deduct any stars, because this was a fabulous book, very witty and very funny with an extremely likeable couple. Their romance was told equally from both POVs which helped to understand them both and while they may have seemed a very odd pairing to the outside observer, they were, in fact, a perfect match for each other. Much credit must go to Penny Reid for portraying an h who was “fuller figure” but also, active, sexy, comfortable in her own skin and completely unselfconscious. Although a feature of the book was the fact that she was “breaking the mould” in becoming a fuller figure, ethnic minority, leading lady actress, it was not dwelled upon or obsessed over, and we were not constantly reminded she was larger than the normal leading lady (both in romantic fiction, and the movies!).

Penny Reid does make a habit of developing character pairings that run against normal expectations, and developing characters that are definite individuals, and once again she has produced a romance that does not fit into any traditional romance book “mould”. I hope she continues not conforming, because her books are a true pleasure to listen to.

Where can I meet these brothers???!

I've only just found this series of books, and I'm already addicted! 😁
They are total feel good stories with so much humour in them, as romance and wonderful characters.
I can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. The excellent writing and the wonderful narration are so rich and entertaining.

Loving this book series!

I knew before I finished the first chapter that this book was going to be a full give star read for me. It drew me in hook, line and sinker. I'm a huge Penny Reid fan and loved Truth or Beard, this series is becoming a firm favourite for me, I just love those Winston Brothers. Jethro is truly adorable, a true gentlemen, and he's a Park Ranger "insert googley eyes". We get to read about all the interactions between this odd family that had me laughing out loud to myself. I so can't wait for book 3. Sienna Diaz is a famous Hollywood actress and writer, lost en route to her house rental while on set making a movie. Jethro's rescues her (with absolutely no idea of who she is), and Jethro's and Sienna build a friendship, even though Sienna allows him to think she is someone else for a whole week. The book is beautifully written, and so funny, all the characters are charming, and the chemistry and banter between Sienna and Jethro is 5⭐️

A Firm Favourite

I am a fan of Penny Reid and of Jethro Winston, so I was disappointed that I found this story a bit dull. I felt like it dragged and lacked any really oomph. I struggled to like the female lead, but that may have been down to the narrator. Sometimes she was spot on, but a lot of the time she was montone and a bit robotic, with intonation in odd places or not at all. I was disappointed to hear she is also the narrator in Folking around. There was definitely too much focus on their physical connection, and their relationship actually felt like it lacked depth. Still funny though! Penny Reid is always funny!
