Love You Anyway

Buttercup Hill, Book 2

By: Stacy Travis

Narrated by: Hannah Chiclana, Aaron Donaghue

A Swoony Small-Town, Billionaire-Next-Door, Age Gap Romance

I thought hot nerdy billionaires only existed in books.

Then brilliant astrophysicist Colin Hathaway moved in next door.

After losing his cool on camera, tech’s most eligible bachelor is hiding out in Buttercup Hill, getting a two-week taste of small town life while driving me crazy with that gorgeous smile and those deep blue eyes.

But I need to keep my distance. Not only is he ten years older and my brother’s college best friend, but I’m busy fending off the vultures trying to take over our family winery–and my siblings are just waiting for their little sister’s next bad decision.

Unfortunately, Colin is everywhere I turn. Offering to build me bookshelves, eating grilled cheese sandwiches in my kitchen, flying me off in a luxury helicopter to look at Mars through some fancy telescope.

Who knew the solar system was so sexy?

He’s impossible to resist.

The heat between us is white hot, and no one has ever looked at me the way he does–like I’m smart. Beautiful. Worthy. Strong. When he defends me in front of my family, I realize I’m in deep.

But one slip in front of the media could derail both of our careers. And my heart bears the scars of mistakes I’ve made in the past.

Trusting him could ruin everything I’m working for.

But what if I love him anyway?

Welcome to Buttercup Hill, where the men are hotter than the Napa Valley sun, and the wine flows all day long. LOVE YOU ANYWAY is Book 2 in the series of standalone novels, each with a happily ever after.

PJ & Colin...

Love You Anyway is the second book in the Buttercup Hill series. It is a brothers college best friend, age gap, small town, close proximity romance. This was a cute fun read between Colin & PJ. It's full of passion & steam. You get all the feels, witty banter, over protective siblings and so much love. This was an enjoyable read.

Hannah Chiclana & Aaron Donaghue did a great job job bringing this story and these characters to life.

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧Charming & Heartwarming!

It is great to be back in Stacy Travis’ “Buttercup Hill” series for another fabulous romance novel, a brother’s best nerdy billionaire and his friend’s younger sister romance. Buttercup Hill Vineyards, a vineyard in Napa, owned and operated by the Corbetts, and each book in the series features a different sibling, and this second book is the youngest daughter, Penelope June, aka PJ or Junebug. She is the public relations coordinator for the family business, the fixer of all and also a spitfire, not afraid to speak her mind. Colin Hathaway, an astrophysicist and self-made billionaire, is Archers good friend and former college roommate, and when Colin needs to get away from it all and stay low key, so Archer offers him one of their cabins. PJ and Colin have a somewhat awkward first meet, but he found her intriguing, and it was clear from the start that there was an undeniable chemistry between them, but he knew he needed to steer clear, not only because of who she was but because of the baggage he brings. Colin is career focused and does not have time for a relationship and PJ is not looking for one, but the two can not stay away from each other and they could only deny themselves for so long. It was great to watch these two get to know each other and see their relationship morph into something more, despite neither one wanting it, all is good until he needs to get back to his life, and as a nerdy workaholic he is not relationship material, but if you want something bad enough, you make it happen even if you have to compromise, if he does not blow it with her first. I adored these two and was rooting for them the entire time. This wonderfully plotted, multilayered story has the perfect balance of drama, angst, charming humor and witty dialogue, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance. The Corbetts are still trying to figure out what their father did with the money and they are finally on to something after discovering something very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing where that goes and for the next book in the series, Dash’s story. Stacy Travis, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donaghue’s wonderful performance continues and they do an amazing job bringing the characters to life, humanizing them with their personality and giving each a voice that suits them perfectly. Chiclana was a natural in her role as PJ, handled her witty dialogue with ease and never missed a beat, and Donaghue was just as fabulous in his role as Colin. Both were fantastic performing the roles of the secondary characters too. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling each one. These two voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Colin and PJ

Get ready for this audio to hit a lot of your tropes. PJ and Colin are the perfect match because they allow themselves to be vulnerable without even meaning to. PJ is the little sister who feels unseen/misunderstood while she tries to prove that she’s changed. Colin is a workaholic who hasn’t taken time to do much outside of work or work engagements. When Colin and PJ meet it starts off with banter/sparks that will have you falling in love.

Enjoyed this small-town romance!

Love You Anyway by Stacy Travis was a brother's best friend small-town romance that did deliciously good things to my heart. PJ and Colin's journey to HEA is full of steamy twists and swoony turns that make this book a fun, low-angst listen. This is book 2 in Stacy's Buttercup Hill series.

Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donaghue perform this audiobook in dual narration. Both narrators do a great job of bringing their characters to life. Hannah captured PJ's dedication to the winery and desires for Coline perfectly while Aaron conveyed Colin's doubts and confidence brilliantly. Both brought the longing and the heat too!

Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook. It was an easy, quick, and loveable listen. I look forward to more from Stacy Travis.

Buttercup Hill Book 2
 
I adored PJ and Colin’s relationship from the very beginning. Their connection was immediate and electric. Colin, a billionaire businessman and astrophysicist, is hiding out at his best friend’s winery to dodge a PR scandal. Meanwhile, PJ, the sassy and witty younger sister of the Corbett family, is always busy managing the winery’s various challenges. Their meet-cute was absolutely charming ☕♟. I loved their chess games, stolen moments, and sweet dates. Colin was truly a dream 🥰. The book was filled with angst and forbidden romance as they tried to keep their relationship a secret from Jackson.
 
🎧 The narration by Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donaghue was fantastic. They brought the story to life with heartwarming moments and relatable characters
 

Love You Anyway

This is the 2nd book in the Buttercup Hill series. I love this small town we get to visit with each book. PJ (Penelope) runs the public relations department at her family's winery and Colin is the brother's best friend, billionaire 'hiding out' for a few weeks to escape from some bad press. Well que the fireworks because this couple certainly can't stay away from each other but decide to keep things a secret since their time together is limited. They had all the feels and swoon, I mean a helicopter ride to see Mars through a special telescope?!?! I loved watching them develop into a real couple throughout the book.

Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donaghue are both new to me narrators, but they did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life.

Yes to Billionaire Goes Small Town!

💭I’m a sucker for both billionaire and small-town romances, so putting them together made me love this story even more. Their relationship was a slow burn, with plenty of spoiling moments by Colin, just how I like a billionaire romance to be! I would prefer Colin to grovel a bit more, but that public grand gesture almost made it up, so I was okay with it. This book was the perfect mix of sweetness and steam, and it’s a fantastic addition to the series!

Hannah and Aaron are back at it again, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I really love it when an author sticks with the same narrators throughout a series – it just brings a sense of comfort and familiarity to the story. Both of them were fantastic, as always, and I thoroughly enjoyed their performances. I couldn’t imagine anyone else bringing this story to life the way they do!

....brings the burn to romance.

Love You Anyway is the ultimate underdog story. There is just something so endearing about PJ and Colin. She's a sassy firecracker and he's a closet romantic. From their fiery from meeting to their passionate battle of wills, Travis grabs your attention. Chiclana and Donaghue push the boundaries of heartache and temptation within this paradox of love. With a hint of mystery and an overwhelming amount of heart, Love You Anyway brings the burn to romance.

Amazing and beautiful

Absolutely love this small town romance. The build up for Collin and PJ keeps me on edge wanting to see how the sparks will combust into flames. The yearning for one another has me screaming for them to break what rules they think there are and to run into each others ares. When they finally do the romance is tearful and leaves you in awe. The spice leaves you dripping from the heat and in the end you can’t wait to see how their story will unfold. Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donaghue were amazing bringing these two to life and giving the romance a voice. Emphasizing the feelings of passion , fear of losing them, and the desire of their love.
