“I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.” When those words left the lips of Damien Shaw, my childhood nemesis, I should have told him to kick rocks right then and there. But sadly, his scheme to impress his boss left me with something to gain from it too—getting my meddling mother, who was obsessed with my love life, off my back just in time for my parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary celebration in Hawaii.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

I was doing great pretending he doesn’t exist until I was assigned to write an article about former college athletes and I learn that the sexy single-dad is my first interview. Determined to wow my editor with an amazing sportsball piece. (Have I mentioned I know nothing about sports?) I head to Ember Falls, ready to face my fears—and the man I love.

When I find out on my wedding day that my fiancé is cheating on me, my whole world comes crashing down. The only bright spot? My best friend Leo is by my side every step of the way, offering his unconditional support — including a temporary getaway, which I so badly need right now. Once in Boston, he invites me to stay with him until I get back on my feet. Temporarily, of course. And I don’t even think twice before agreeing. But I quickly question if this was the right thing to do. Did I forget to mention Leo is the hottest man on the planet?

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Being traded to the Boston Rebels could not have come at a better time. With serious family obligations to fulfill and a contract renewal with a new hockey team on the line, I have no time for anything else. I return to Boston knowing I need to buckle down and focus on what really matters.

He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Publisher's summary
“So you’re single?”
“Are you seriously hitting on me right now while I have breastmilk all over my shirt?”
When Grant Thomas, the handsome stranger standing in front of me in line at the coffee shop, stripped his uniform shirt off and handed it to me, I could have sworn I was on an episode of Punked. Not only was the man Gabe Kapler’s doppelganger, but he was also a pilot and good with babies, which my six month-old daughter could attest to as she settled in his arms while I changed into his shirt, contemplating all of my life choices at that moment.
Being a single mom is a lot harder than I thought it would be, but that was the decision I made when I chose to have a child via sperm donor since I was tired of waiting on Mr. Right.
But suddenly, Mr. I’m-Too-Sexy-for-my-Shirt appears in my life—not only once, but twice—and has me wondering where the hell he’s been and why I didn’t meet him sooner?
Grant demonstrates time and again that he’s invested in me and my daughter, shows up for me when I need him the most, and makes my toes curl in a way I didn’t know was possible.
He’s perfect. Our relationship is perfect.
Until it’s not.
When the inkling that I’m missing something comes to fruition, there’s only one question I need to answer…
Will my heart end up broken like every time before, leaving me destined to be alone?
Or could our path to find one another prove that not everything happens as planned?

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with my best friend’s little sister before our lives went in different directions. Now, I’m the grumpy to Juliet’s sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover. And find the house has only one bed. Located under a mirrored ceiling.

Story
One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Harlow Hayes loves water. In its liquid form. The chlorinated kind she swims in. The perennial droplets soaking her adopted hometown. The waves she ventures out on to observe the ocean. Water, in its frozen state, holds no appeal to her. That's not the only—or most divisive—difference between her and Conor Hart. The arrogant, arresting captain of Holt University's hockey team spends every second not picking fights or partying atop a sheet of it. Plenty of girls fall for the charming lines and that cocky smirk. Harlow knows better. Knows more.

I’ve rebuilt my father’s media company with hard work and determination, but my single status leaves me on the outs with the one businessman I need to get close to. A little white lie and I’m suddenly in love, head over heels. Now I need to find a fake girlfriend, someone to keep up appearances without any emotions. When I find my mother’s fiery assistant in a compromising position, it’s the perfect opportunity to get what I want: a girlfriend for business appearances, without any feelings involved. I won’t let the fact that I’m wildly attracted to the petite redhead get in my way.

They look out for me and I look out for them. Which is how I end up wedged in a broom closet with Mr. Frazier’s sexy as sin nephew.

Not just because the former Special Forces soldier respected her father and liked his job, she was too good for him—all sunshine and smiles while he was darkness and filth.

I've got enough on my plate trying to keep my shop from going under, my overbearing mother off my back, and my baseball team in contention for the league championship.

She wants a fairy tale, and I’m no prince.

Considering I just got divorced, I’m not looking to do that again. But Beckett makes me an offer that I literally can’t refuse, so I don’t.

NOT AS PLANNED
📚By: Harlow James
🎤Narrated by CJ Bloom & Connor Crais
Harlow James has outdone herself with the 4th book in this series. She's written literally the perfect book about being a mother, whether you're single or not & how falling in love can complete the dream you've been wishing for all your life. Every mother, new mom, woman whose pregnant needs to read this book. I think back to being a new mom & how hard it was & this book would have saved me so much time feeling the "mom guilt." Feeling like I was not a good mom because the career I had, I stopped, & now I didn't know who I was without it. Motherhood changed my identity. There were days I didn't feel like I wanted to be a mom, felt exhausted & wanted a break from my child. Feeling guilt of wanting to go to the store by myself or have dinner with my girlfriends because society told me this was my #1 responsibility. Motherhood is a part of me, not all of me. It's a role I play along with many others & that's ok. Harlow's writing of what it's like to be a new mom, her description of situations gone bad & embarrassing circumstances hits home hard & real! A book that brought me utter joy with every word I listened to & reminded me that my feelings were valid back then & I still loved my children despite feeling all of that. My kids were and still are my world.
Noelle is a single mother, a successful literary agent, who decides to have a baby on her own because she hasn't found "the one." Life hasn't gone like she outlined for herself years ago. She feels all the feels of new motherhood & her friends are right there cheering her on, giving her support & great advice.
She literally runs into Grant Thomas, a hot pilot, & he gives her the shirt off his back (his uniform shirt) because baby Scarlett has made a mess of hers. Their attraction is fast & they fall hard. Noelle is feeling overwhelmed & discouraged & Grant.....GAH, there is not a more perfect man. He is everything. He listens to her, really listens, making little mental notes along the way & I haven't fallen this hard for a fictional man ever! Truth!🙌 He helps her with Scarlett, gives her time for herself & with her girlfriends. He's perfect & she's wondering where he's been all her life. He shows up time & time again for her & her baby but Noelle has the notion that she's missing something & things finally come to a head. She's wondering if she'll end up with a broken heart again or if their paths crossed for a reason because not everything always happens as planned.
CJ Bloom is astounding as Noelle, depicting the exhaustion, anxiety, & fear of being a new mom. She's emotional, funny, dramatic, & delightful. I can't say enough about her performance. She's an enchantress.
Connor Crais....well, suffice it to say, when he would say "How are my girls?" I melted like snow on a sunny day, sinking down like soft pudding.🥵 He turns the thermostat up & you'll be sweatin' from swooniness. He's absolutely perfect as the tender, protective, thoughtful & loving Grant.
Every woman needs to read this book. It reminds you that happiness isn't a destination, it's a choice. We are mothers but that's not ALL we are. The women before we were mothers still matters. We're gonna have curve balls thrown at us, but the way we react to them is what will make the difference in how we feel about our lives. The IF and WHEN is trivial, it's the WHO that truly makes us happy! Thanks for reminding me that Harlow!💕
Thanks to @homecookedbooks for providing the copy. All thoughts are my own, honest opinions.

Grant & Noelle
Is there anything sexier than a man who would offer you the shirt off his back?! Grant and Noelle’s story definitely had a unique start. A handsome man in uniform showing off his gentlemanly ways and don’t get me started on his sweet interactions with Scarlett. Noelle always seemed to be the quietest of the brunch ladies, but the love of a good man helps her find her voice. It was entertaining listening to CJ Bloom and Connor Crais bring this series to a close.

📚Story Summary and Review📚
Noelle Parker: “lover of romance, believer of soul mates”, planner, and “type A” to a tee. Tired of waiting for her Mr. Right Noelle takes matters into her own hands and makes herself the mom she always wanted to be via sperm donor. Tired, overwhelmed, and covered in leaked breast milk, Noelle meets the swooniest and most chivalrous man on the planet. A dead ringer for Gabe Kepler, he leaves her nothing short of speechless.
I devoured this story and it easily moved into first place of the series for me. There were so many laughs! Noelle goes on a rant about her ex’s that will have you rolling. The funniest part is that Harlow said they’re all true stories from readers! 😂🫣
Not As Planned wholly and accurately reflects the trials and tribulations of motherhoods. The good, bad, ugly, and smelly….And the MOM GUILT!
@harlowjamesauthor writes the most relatable and real life characters. I cannot express my gratitude enough that Not as Planned captures just a glimpse of the internalized emotion and struggle surrounding infertility.
Having experienced a not so straight forward journey myself, the emotion and connection I felt for these two fictional characters was off the charts! These two could easily be our friends, family, or neighbors and it was truly a beautiful reminder that we never really know what others are going through, and there’s no right way to make a family.
🎧❤️Audiobook Review❤️🎧
In the world of narration, @carleyrobinson and @connorcrais are remarkable talents who consistently mesmerize me with their captivating performances. Their seamless delivery, rich character portrayals, and impeccable pacing make every listening experience unforgettable. It's simply another job well done, they consistently deliver nothing but excellence.
Special thanks to: @homecookedbooks and Harlow James for this ALC. It was my pleasure.

Love everything about this story
"We don't leave impressions on this planet by what we do, but by our relationships with others. " Grant
Noelle has always played it safe, but when she meets a sexy pilot who saves her day at a coffee shop, all bets are off.
Grant gives her the shirt off his back, literally, and then another chance encounter has them both thinking they shouldn't let this opportunity go and see where it takes them
I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, but I have to say, this one has my heart. I love that Grant truly sees Noelle, and he gives her experiences she's never had. He's pure swoon.
I always enjoy listening to Connor Crais and CJ Bloom and their performances of these characters is beautiful. I felt the emotion of Grant's pain, knowing he possibly could not give Noelle a future she may want. As a mom myself, I could also feel the emotions of Noelle always questioning her choices as a mother. These two give a stellar performance.
"Happiness isn't a destination, it's a choice" Noelle

Sweet and Spicy
Not As Planned is the 4th book in The Ladies Who Brunch series by Harlow James. The series follows four women who met in college and have formed quite the girl squad. Not As Planned follows Noelle and Grant’s love story. Each story from this series is so unique! You can’t help but love this group of girls and the way they support each other.
When Noelle’s life doesn't go as she planned, she takes life into her own hands and becomes a single mother to her sweet baby Scarlett. A few months after Scarlett is born she meets Grant. Grant is a commercial airline pilot who has given up on love after surviving a traumatic past experience. The two bump into each other at a coffee shop and the attraction is instant. After leaking through her shirt (IYKYK) Grant literally gives her the shirt off of his back. SWOON!
I absolutely loved this book! Not only was it spicy and romantic but the description of motherhood was spot on! Noelle’s struggles and internal thoughts were all too relatable. No matter how much you want to be a mother, or what you go through to become one, your feelings of wanting a break or missing your old life are completely valid and I feel like Harlow James captured that so well in this book.
The narration was perfect! I mean at one point Connor Crais is reading a romance book, within a romance book. Does it get better than that?! This was my first time listening to CJ Bloom and I loved it! She was the perfect Noelle. She also captured all of the other women so well. Anytime all of the women were together she did such a wonderful job giving each of them a unique voice, I never had to wonder which character was speaking.

Harlow James has crafted a captivating story that is part of the "Ladies Who Brunch" series. The latest installment is a romance novel that delves into the joys and struggles of motherhood, and it features a cast of relatable characters.
I was extremely impressed with the audio, CJ Bloom and Connor Crais, were exceptional in their performance and brought the characters and brought the characters stories to life. The emotions were portrayed perfectly, the voice of Crais was ideal for his role as a larger, protective character. Bloom, on the other hand, was equally amazing as Noelle, and both narrators grasped every aspect of their character's personality. They set the perfect tone for the story and captured all the character's emotions, leaving me feeling them all. Their performance elevated the already impressive story to another level, making them both entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to.

Noelle and Ethan
Noelle and Grant
Another great job for the narrators. Noelle is a single mom who works with authors meets Tall handsome Grant who is a pilot when waiting for coffee Noelle leaks through her nursing pads and Grant literally gives her his shirt off his back. Their is a connection but Grant chickens out, but kismet is in play when Noelle is on Grant's flight. Love the epidural part of the story reminded me of a similar situation my sister went through with her third child. Love when Noelle discovers they know someone in common and Grant learns something about someone he knew his whole life. Another great story that flows beautifully and entertaining that I enjoyed listening in one sitting.

Wow! This was so great!!
Not As Planned is book #4 in The Ladies Who Brunch series. Noelle has successfully had a baby through IVF and it is throwing her into a tailspin. Single parenting and work obligations are taking their toll. When a pilot gives her his shirt to cover her boobs (wet from breastmilk leaking), she can't seem to forget him. Serendipity is in play, folks! Grant can't forget Noelle either, so when they meet again, he isn't losing this opportunity. Both have to overcome past issues with relationships, but Grant is ready to prove to Noelle that he is solid! Not As Planned is another fantastic installment in this series. It's funny, heartwarming, and has ALL the spice! And when all the ladies get involved, well, these two don't stand a chance against fate. This is a standalone, but you won't want to miss this series. It's AMAZING!
The narration was fabulous. CJ Bloom and Connor Crais always give their performances a personal feel, like these are people you know. 5 glorious stars!

Absolutely beautiful
This book was amazing!! I told my husband I wish I could read a book about a real woman going thru the difficult times I had with pregnancy and after. And boy did Harlow deliver!! I’m recommending this book to any one and every one. I love spicy and there wasn’t as much as I’m used to but the plot and details of life make it better
Thank you Harlow for printing true words of womanhood
