Chapel Bend

Huckleberry Bay, Book 3

De: Kristen Proby

Narrado por: Kit Swann, Lee Samuels

From New York Times best-selling author Kristen Proby comes Chapel Bend, an enemies-to-lovers small-town romance in her beloved series Huckleberry Bay!

There’s a fine line between love and hate.

In Huckleberry Bay, Oregon, everyone knows that when it comes to Juniper “June” Snow–what you see is what you get. When you hire her construction company to do a job, it’s done right, on time, and on budget. When she’s your friend, she’s a ride-or-die who will support you no matter what. And when you’re her enemy...well, she can hold a grudge.

And she’s never forgotten how the tall, dark, and delicious Apollo Winchester hurt her so many years ago.

In a small town, it’s impossible to ignore someone who greets you with a death glare every time you meet. Apollo can’t recall why June hates him, but it doesn’t stop him from stirring her up every chance he gets. There’s something about her stubborn, “don’t mess with me” attitude that keeps him coming back for more. But June is his sister’s best friend and permanently on the “off-limits” list.

June puts aside her war with Apollo and hires him to work on her most important project, the renovation of a chapel into her dream home. She wants the best...and Apollo is the best...on the job site and in her bed. He won’t turn down the chance to spend more time with June, especially when it’s clear that she wants him as much as she hates him. Proximity leads to opportunity, and opportunity leads to steamy times between the sheets.

But a mystery threatens June and Apollo will protect her and their growing connection, no matter the cost.

Loved it!

June and Apollo! I loved that these two figured it out! I listened to the audio on a long drive. Loved it!

Enemies then lovers

Apollo and June will absolutely charm you in every way possible. The thin line between love and hate slowly ebbed away with each encounter and they found everything they were searching for. This small town romance is everything you need.

Great series

I've enjoyed this series and I've been waiting for Juniper and Apollo' turn. They've been at each other's throats since they were young. Now they've had one night together and can't quit thinking about it. Will the animosity turn to more than dislike? Kit Swann and Lee Samuels are wonderful narrators.

4 Stars

Juniper and Apollo, where to even start with them? We start at the beginning when they were just little kids and already had that enemies thing going on. In reality, both of them from a very young age, had an amazing crush on the other one. When some not so nice words were spoken a flare of anger grew and continue to fester over the years. June and Apollo have been bickering and bantering and fighting with one another for almost as long as they have known one another.

Even as adults, they have continued their mortal rivalry. Juniper and Apollo fall in the same circles, and it absolutely makes her crazy when he uses her full name. It makes her heart go pitter patter. Apollo and June have an intense chemistry that just about anyone can see. One night they decide is what they’re going to give it and that is it well little did they know that one night was going to make everything that much more. Yet they continue their banter for a bit more.

Chapel Bend was a wonderful small town romance. I love Juniper and Apollo, even if it took them a but of time to find their way. But that’s the story, finding their way. Apollo is truly a top-notch and wonderful guy. June is a bit harder around the edges but in time you learn that she does have a softness within her. Together they make a great team it just took 20 couple years to figure that out.

A Quick Love Story

Chapel Bend is a best friend’s brother, small town romance where June and Apolllo sneak around until they multiply. It is low angst and sweet. It has a quintessential Kristen Proby vibe to the story.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

I don't normally like enemies to lovers but this book was more banter than enemies and I always love great banter. I have to be honest I haven't listened to the first 2 books in this series but now I plan too because I loved the friends in this book and am excited to listen to their series.
June & Apollo were what I love most about small town romance, they have a very long history, the same group of friends and the same love for their town. I also loved the side story about Rose, that added a little something fun to this book for sure. In the end this book left me smiling and excited to to back and visit the other books in the series.
The narration was good too!

This entire series is very down to earth and great to read

I love reading the entire series and I think I like this book the best. It’s a little bit entertaining. But I loved all of the books in this . I was looking forward to maybe having additional books on this series with the other characters that were left over but sadly that’s not the case. Hope I find another similar series that I can read and occupy my day.

Loved this Grumpy/Sunshine!

It's been a long time coming but I'm so glad to finally get Apollo and June's grumpy sunshine, frenemies to lovers story that has been building since Lighthouse Way. I loved Apollo in this book, he was so sure of June the whole book and so patient with her. June continues to be the independent strong willed boss babe who has supported Luna and Sarah through the previous two books. I loved that she was the grump in this grumpy sunshine pair, and no matter how much she pushed, Apollo did not leave or give up. This story continues to have the supernatural aspects that were introduced in book 1 and we get to see the progress of the inn and the girls and guys we love in this series. I hope Kristen Proby continues to write in this town, I really love the vibe!

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

I had an opportunity to listen to the audiobook narrated by Kit Swan and Lee Samuels and these too brought Juniper and Apollo to life! Spectacular performances. They really brought their acting chops to this one and I was impressed!
