Publisher's summary

A closed-door, Small Town, Forced Proximity, He Falls First romance from Amazon best-selling author Susan Henshaw.

Clementine

When my best friend passes away, her twin brother finally comes home.

Regardless of how Silas keeps pinning me with those eyes, or how I can’t breathe whenever he smiles, I won’t forgive how he amputated me from his life a decade ago.

If I can make it through the will reading, I’ll never see him again. I’m certain of that.

But when the will is read, I can’t believe my ears. Sophie left her daughter for me to raise.

But, not just me.

Silas too.

Silas

It’s just like my twin to concoct some wily scheme now that she’s out of reach.

Of course, we can’t sign a few papers and divide Anna’s life down the middle. Sophie had to throw in an insane stipulation: the three of us must reside together for ninety days before a custody arrangement can be made.

Now, I’m forced to spend the summer sleeping across the hall from the one woman I moved two thousand miles to avoid.

I’m fairly certain when my sister asks us to do this One Last Thing for her, she’s having one last laugh at my expense.

Perfect for fans who enjoy big emotions, crackling chemistry, and steamy kisses. Books in the Seddledowne Series are connected but can be read in any order.

Roller coaster of Emotions

This is a series where the characters become your friends…you spend time with them and know everything about them, you want to help them and emphasize with them. The small town Seddeldowne vibes, (child)friends to lovers and best friend’s brother tropes, along with a slow burn, closed-door romance make for such an immersive read. Sophie, Silas’ late twin and Clementine’s late best friend, asked for the two to care for her daughter after her passing, as she knew they should always be together. Their journey to a happily ever after isn’t all rainbows and sunshine-there are many situations requiring honesty and true that don’t come easy. Real, relatable characters and a rollercoaster ride of emotions make a win for this book! I am a big fan of two narrators when the story is dual, first person: CJ Mission and Rebecca Gibel did a fantastic job, keeping me engaged, portraying emotions and bringing Silas and Lemon to life.

I want more!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. I could NOT stop listening to this book. Very rarely do I come across an author that writes a book so well I can't put it down but this author has me. The characters were written well and the narration was perfect for me.
If you love a small town story with twists and turns and romance this is it. I wish I could listen to the rest but will have to settle for reading them.

This book hit all the right notes for me! I couldn't put it down and have picked it back up to re-read favorite parts multiple times. I seriously loved it!! The way that Silas loved Clementine for YEARS and then finally, finally gets his chance with her just melted my heart. Forced proximity makes every other trope better! So much swoon and so much healing and so many tender moments between them and with Anna. I just could not get enough! And that ending?! Be still my beating heart!!

A beautiful, heartwarming story of family and friendship and the kind of love that only comes along once in a lifetime. Can't wait to read more from this author!

CW: mild language, characters walk in on infidelity, makeouts/kissing only

This made my heart happy

This is the first book of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, but can be read as a standalone.

This is such a sweet, heartwarming story 🥹 I absolutely adored every single moment of this book. The narrators do such a great job bringing the characters to life! Anna was definitely my favorite character, seeing just how resilient she is was inspiring. The banter and tension between Clementine aka Lemon, and Silas was soooo good! I listened to this in one sitting. Highly recommend

An Affecting & Romantic Story

This was my first experience with this author's work. I thought the story was sad, tragic, heartwarming and engendered an emotional roller-coaster for me as it unfolded. I enjoyed the small town setting. I liked the characters as they were realistic and personable. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I was entertained by the dual narrations of C.J. Mission and Rebecca Gibel, and I felt that their performances enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

A Captivating Story

I recently finished the audiobook "One Last Thing" by Susan Henshaw, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! The story is beautifully crafted, weaving together emotion, humor, and profound insights that kept me engaged from start to finish.

The narration by CJ Mission and Rebecca Gibel was nothing short of spectacular. Their voices brought the characters to life, adding depth and nuance that truly enhanced the storytelling. Each inflection and pause felt perfectly timed, making it easy to lose myself in the world Henshaw created.

What I loved most was how the narrators captured the essence of the characters, making their journeys feel personal and relatable. It felt like I was right there with them, experiencing every twist and turn.

If you're looking for an audiobook that combines a compelling narrative with outstanding narration, "One Last Thing" is a must-listen. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Bingeable Small Town Romance!

Short Synopsis:
When Clementine’s (AKA Lemon’s) best friend, Sophie, passes away, Sophie leaves her daughter, Anna, to Clementine and Sophie’s twin brother, Silas. The catch? They’re not together. And Sophie is requiring them to stay under the same roof for 90 days.

My Thoughts:
Cowboy romances have been all the rage the last few years - but shockingly this is my first. Thank you Susan Henshaw for easing me in to the genre.

This was a sweet emotional romance with complicated family dynamics. I loved how Lemon faced things head on as she put the pieces of her life back together. Silas was so far gone for Clementine and his dedication was beautiful. But Anna with her spunk was my favorite character.

CJ Mission and Rebecca Gibel are the audiobook narrators for this one. And they did such a beautiful job bringing Silas and Lemon to life.

What You’ll Find:
Cowboy romance
Small town
Forced proximity
Best friend’s brother
Matchmaker

I love this series!

Silas Dupree thought he’d left his hometown - and his childhood crush, Clementine Shepherd far behind. But life has other plans when his twin sister, Sophie, passes away, leaving behind her teenage daughter, Anna, and a will that forces Silas and Clementine to co-parent under one roof for ninety days.

Susan Henshaw ropes you in with:
Friends to lovers
Dual POV
Forced proximity
Slow burn
Tire slashing!
He makes her quesadillas!

It’s a beautiful story of loss and grieving, redemption, being seen, and loved for who you are!

I HIGHLY recommend!!

There are 3 books out in the Seddledowne series. I can’t wait to get the other two on audio.

The audio narrator’s did a fantastic job. I love the reader they chose for Silas!

Romance content: closed door - Just (GREAT) kissing

LOVE THIS!

I love this series so much! After reading Anna and Blue’s story, I HAD to come back and read the series from the start. I love Silas and Clementine’s characters and their second chance love after facing so much personal trauma. There were so many moments throughout this book that touched my heart and soul. Absolutely love Susan Henshaw’s work. Highly recommend this series!
