Kissing Cooper

Heroes of Henderson

By: Liz Kelly

Narrated by: Charles Lawrence

Scorched by an old flame, Cooper Crenshaw, Henderson High's championship-winning baseball coach, has done everything in his power to avoid coming back to town. So running into Christy-Lynn Brilhart 10 minutes after his return is less like a Christmas miracle and more like Cooper's own personal nightmare before Christmas.

Now a stylish businesswoman, Christy-Lynn may be done wearing hand-me-downs, but she sure isn't done setting Cooper's blood on fire. As the Christmas season heats up, so does his desire to get to the bottom of their abrupt breakup. Realizing the town he still loves could use his major league help, Cooper figures it's time to tie up a few loose ends.

With holiday ribbon.

To his bedpost.

Kissing Cooper: Heroes of Henderson

What did you love best about Kissing Cooper?

The humor! This author has written this series in a way that each story is fresh and new but the humor is the same in each book. I laugh out loud. When a book can make me laugh or cry or both I know it is a good book that I want to read more than once.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Kissing Cooper?

I loved when Cooper took Christy Lynn Christmas shopping. She hadn't had anything new in years and he made her feel like a princess but did it in such a sweet, heart melting way.

Have you listened to any of Charles Lawrence’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Charles Lawrence only in this series but have been looking for other books he has narrated because he has done such a great job with these books. Thoroughly enjoy listening to him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My heart broke as Christy Lynn tells Cooper why she said no to going with him 12 years earlier. The burden she had carried all those years was so sad. However, Cooper tries his best to make it up to her.

Any additional comments?

Cooper is my second favorite Hero of Henderson in this series! Loved this book!!!

Great Story!

Any additional comments?

I LOVE this series! Kissing Cooper can definitely be read a stand alone novel. This was a quick read that brings back characters from previous stories in the series. Cooper and Christy-Lynn are strong, likable and real. Great book about a not giving up on your true love!

Phenomenally entertaining!

What made the experience of listening to Kissing Cooper the most enjoyable?

I love both the sweet small town southern charm and the endearingly engaging and highly amusing romantic relationships between the men and women of Henderson, North Carolina.

What other book might you compare Kissing Cooper to and why?

Kissing Cooper is exactly like the previous books in this series. They feature the delightful missteps on the rocky road to love between sexy southern men and feisty southern females they can't live without.

What about Charles Lawrence’s performance did you like?

I especially enjoy Charles Lawrence's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of the hilarious shenanigans of lifelong friends, and partners in crime, Brooks and Vance. Their bromance is phenomenally entertaining!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My heart broke for Kristy Lynn when she had to tell Cooper the reason why she turned down his proposal many years ago. She was truly caught between a rock and a hard place and she really couldn't choose him no matter how much she loved him.

Any additional comments?

This series is beautifully written, hilariously amusing and the team of Kelly and Lawrence is complete perfection!

My Favorite

This was definitely my favorite story in the Heroes of Henderson Series. Cooper and Christy-Lynn’s story is emotional and heartwarming. I loved this couple and was glad that Cooper didn't give up on Christy-Lynn and that she finally trusted him with her secret. Of course some of the characters from previous books helped make the story funny and enjoyable. Charles Lawrence always adds to making the story come alive with his excellent narration.

Cooper & Christy-Lynn

If you could sum up Kissing Cooper in three words, what would they be?

Second chance romance.

What did you like best about this story?

Christy-Lynn has not had an easy life and spends the time not caring for the town, covering up her father's problems. I love when she finally opened up to Cooper.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wished I could have listened at one sitting. A great story.

Love

I Love this series cannot wait to read the next one and hopefully they'll just eventually have an epilogue that ties them all together to let us know all of their forever happy endings

Great Series!

This is a great book; this is book 4.5 in the Heroes of Henderson series written by Liz Kelly and narrated by Charles Lawrence.

So running into Christy-Lynn Brilhart 10 minutes after his return is less like a Christmas miracle and more like Cooper's own personal nightmare before Christmas.

The narrator Charles Lawrence did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. He did a great job with the different characters and their voices.

If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read/listen to this book. The story flowed really well. I can’t wait to read the next book by this author. Once I started listening to this book, I didn’t want to stop until the end. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

Oh Coach

Kissing Cooper was quite the quick stop in Henderson. I don't know who I loved more Coach or the Angel of Henderson
