Great book

I loved this story! It made me laugh and have happy feels! Well written and the different voices the narrator used were fun to listen to.

Such a sweet listen!

This story has themes I think we can all relate to—wanting to forget a painful past, healing a broken heart, feeling like you’re never good enough and just wanting to be loved for exactly who you are. This story has it all and more and Rebecca Hansen’s bright and cheerful voice helped make this listen a lot less emotionally painful for me than if I’d read it.
There are supporting characters who are downright horrible in their behavior towards the main characters and I could feel my blood boil whenever they appeared in a scene! Rebecca infused them with just the right amount of attitude to portray them accurately without being over-the-top in her performance.
This is a really enjoyable sweet romance and I look forward to reading and listening to more from both the author and narrator!

Get your tech on

This story is so relevant in today day and age. Online dating is all the craze. I loved the chemistry between the main characters. Haleigh and Ian were great together.

Counting on You

The dreaded high school reunion is coming up. Haleigh can’t go and face the ex who dumped her... but what if she can find a date? Never mind the fact she hasn’t dated in almost 10 years...

Ian has led his company in the development of a new dating app. They just need a good beta test and testimonial to present to the potential investors...

Can a mutually beneficial agreement be arranged between Haleigh and Ian, or will they get more than they bargained for?

Counting on you is a clean, sweet story with lovable, realistic characters. Rebecca Hansen’s narration was well done.

Fun Meet-Cute

This story was cute in all the best ways. The characters were funny, entertaining, and relate-able. I always love a book with socially awkward characters, they always make me think of myself!

The narrator wasn't bad but is not who I would have chosen for this book. If the narrator would have put more emotion in her voice, I think that would have changed things.

Cute romance

This was the cutest little romance story. Great, fun, quirky characters and storyline. New series and I can't wait for more. I loved Haleigh and Ian and how oblivious they were to the fact that they were made for each other. Great read!

I think that the narration started out a little rocky in the beginning but then the narrator was able to bring these lovable characters to life.

Awesome Listen!!

Counting on You by Laura Chapman really pulled me in. I found myself wanting Haleigh to overcome her insecurities and for her ex to have karma visit him. This book is a sweet story and Rebecca Hansen does an awesome job of bringing the characters to life. I enjoyed the distinguishable voices she gave the characters. The story was original and is a standalone listen. I will most definitely listen to more books by this talented author and narrator. I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review.

Entertaining

Counting on You by Laura Chapman is book one in the Amarillo Sour series and I for one, can’t wait for the next book in this series. I listened to this book through audible and while the narrator took some getting to use to, I did enjoy the story. I was able to distinguish the different characters just fine with this narrator.

Haleigh is a high school teacher with a reunion coming up. A reunion where no one thinks she will show because of a bad breakup. Her ex-boyfriend even thinks she won’t show, but Hailey is set to prove them wrong and decides she will bring a date, just to show the town and her douchebag of an ex that she’s over him and doing well.

Ian Henning is an app developer who believes he can find the right date for Haleigh. Haleigh will have a date to her reunion and Ian will have a reviewer for his newest dating app. But once they spend time together, it won't just be any guy who will be right for Haleigh, putting Ian in the running.

A light-hearted read full of entertaining characters and witty dialogue.
