The Billionaire Is Back

By: Kayley Loring, Connor Crais

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Samantha Brentmoor

People in this small town are whispering…
What they’re saying is that the billionaire is back and he’s going after his best friend’s sister.
What I’m trying to do is help Claire Sweeney’s bakery business.
What I haven’t been able to admit to myself is that in all this time, no matter how hard I tried, I never forgot her.
Now she’s all grown up. I can’t stop thinking about her muffin. Or how guilty I feel when I fantasize about buttering it.

Claire has always been as much a part of Beacon Harbor as the hanging flower baskets, the boat tours, and the lobster races. She has no idea how beautiful I think she is. Even when she has flour on her face. Even when she’s rolling her eyes at me.

I’ve got her brother’s approval, but now it’s Claire that I really have to convince.
She doesn’t believe we have the right ingredients for a real relationship—so she only agrees to pretend to be my girlfriend to help me close a deal in New York.
I believe she’s about to discover exactly how I roll when I know what I want.
And what I want is her.

Amazing story & audio with humor, heart and heat!

Whenever Kayley and Connor team up I always know I’m going to be captured right into the story!! This book was just such an easy romcom to listen to from start to finish! There was humor, banter, sexy kitchen spice, amazing chapter titles, billionaire moments, lobster races and all the small town vibes I love!

It’s Always Been You

Claire always had a crush on Grady as kids but when she made her move one day he denied her. Not only was she his best friend’s sister but he was also leaving town to pursue the career path he wants in New York City. Twelve years later and news brings Grady back to the small town in Maine that he grew up in. Claire now has her own bakery and is just getting by. What happens when the billionaire that she’s mad at comes back into town and all those feelings come rushing back??

As always Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor did a phenomenal job narrating this audiobook with a dual narration. They voices blend so well together and both of them do an incredible job adding all the sounds from sighs, to chuckles to even the voice chance when they both were talking with toothbrushes in their mouths! Those little details make an audiobook feel even more realistic and I LOVE it!!

spicy hallmark movie

I hate the cover of this book but don't let that stop you from listening. it's so good and cute. highly recommend. very spicy and surprising. of course these are awesome narrators. Just wish it was duet narration.

A fun story with lots of humor

This is such a cute story with loads of humor and fun use of baking innuendos. A must read if you want a light hearted read with lots if laughter mixed in. Not a ton of spice but so worth the time. Love the narrators too!

Lobster racing and swoony vibes 👌

I absolutely loved this audiobook! Kayley Loring and Connor Crais create magic writing together. In this story, Grady Barber is a successful billionaire currently living in NYC. He goes home to Beacon Harbor, Maine due to a health scare with his dad. He then finds that his best friends sister, Claire Sweeney owns a bakery. He decides to help her become more Loring
profitable and requests her help to accompany him to a business event. They share how they really feel about each other and he gets her brother's blessing. There is a good amount of spice and plenty of humor as well! Plus. lobster racing! The narration by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor is always amazing 🔥❤️

Better than most

The author does a great job of telling the story of them meeting and being apart and getting together.
It’s a believable story that is wonderfully illustrated and it’s a nice easy listen where you can cheer for love without too much fast forwarding for those of us who aren’t interested in “Penthouse Forum”

Loved it!

This is what fairy tales are made for!
Narrators were perfect. Story was beautifully written.

I needed a light read after the book I just finished. And after reading a few books by Kayley and Connor I knew they were the place to start! These two together have written some super fun books! And I can always count on the narration to be top tier. I adore the fact that Connor narrates the books they write together! If you know me you know he's been a favorite of mine for years! This man could read me the back of a shampoo bottle and I would be swooning!

The book was exactly what I needed!

I fell hard for these characters and FAST!

Grady might be a billionaire in the city used to getting his way, but Claire gave him a run for his money! I loved how bratty she was. And how he had ZERO problem putting her in her place in the most delicious way. 🔥 These two had some unbelievable chemistry. The playful banter between them was hilarious! And the history between them only made it better!

Grady was perfect. The way he took care of Claire while boosting her confidence... SWOON!!

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW:
Both of these Narrators are a favorite of mine so I knew I was going to love this audio. But what I wasn't expecting was the HEAT! Oh my gosh! This was wayyy hotter than I expected. I loved everything about it from listening to Connor's growly voice while he narrates Grady punishing Claire. No words. Just. HOT. It was all HOT. 🔥 My brain kinda short-circuited. Then to Samantha's sweet voice confessing her love for Grady and explaining to everyone how long she had been in love with him! The audio was perfect!

If you love childhood crush to lovers in a small town!
This one's for you!

I can't wait for the upcoming release!

All the Puns!

What do you get when you dump Tabasco sauce on a Hallmark movie ? This book! Come for the spicy sweet story, stay for so many puns!!! Audio performance was excellent!!

Such a Fun Listen

The Billionaire is Back by Kayley Loring, and Connor Crais is a riotous small-town, second-chance, brother's best friend romance that's like a delicious mix of sass and spice, featuring a struggling baker and an oh-so-tempting billionaire that'll leave you cackling! Toss in a lovably eccentric, yet utterly clueless, family, a curmudgeonly raccoon-feeding, chocolate chip-obsessed regular, and a scatterbrained baking assistant, and trust me, the hilarity knows no bounds!

In the realm of dual narration, Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor are the dynamic duo that brings to life the slow-burning tension Claire and Grady have been nursing for over a decade. Samantha's impeccable comedic timing captures Claire's vulnerability, passion, wit, and humor, while Connor's deep voice oozes CEO confidence and unwavering determination as he channels Grady's character. Both seamlessly switch between characters, but Samantha's portrayal of Crabby steals the show!

This book was an absolute joyride. Kayley and Connor's collaboration is a fantastic concoction of humor, steamy moments, heartwarming scenes, and did I mention humor? I'm practically on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting more brilliance from this dynamic duo!

Hilarious, hot, and heartfelt romance!

I have a serious craving for dark chocolate and swoony billionaires! The Billionaire is Back by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais is simply the perfect dash of sweet small-town mixed lavishly with all the spicy billionaire! Add in some brother’s best friend, a little pinch of fake dating with twelve years of pining and you have an exquisite recipe for LOVE. (See what I did there?!) I fell hard for Grady and Claire’s delicious love story, and the amusing people and quaint coastal town of Beacon Heights, Maine.

Samantha Brentmoor and Connor Crais perform this audiobook in dual narration, and both truly embodied the slow-burning tension between Claire and Grady! Samantha’s sassy sultry tone perfectly conveyed Claire’s vulnerable and passionate persona as she overcame pent-up feelings from the past and gave into slow yearning desires for Grady. Connor’s melodious baritone voice complimented Grady’s confident, charismatic, and determined personality as he gave into temptation and spoiled Claire with all his irresistible billionaire ways. Both Samantha and Connor also blew me away with the various character voices they portrayed including my favorite, Crabby Crawford!

Overall, I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of a small-town romance with a hot hunky billionaire CEO, a sweet and spirited baker, small coastal towns in Maine, s’mores, supportive families, coming home again, lobster races, closing a big deal, NYC fancy galas, slow-burn so good spice, mega yachts, pastry puns, neckties, quirky town folk, vibe fun steam, discovering what truly matters, and a HEA that is the icing on the cake, then you will love Claire and Grady’s story. I always look forward to more from Kayley and Connor!
