About this listen
The international best-selling author of Beside Golden Irish Fields brings listeners an unforgettable story about not judging a book by its cover and trusting in love and second chances.
"An entertaining ride...." (Readers’ Favorite)
Twice burned, twice shy, she’s done with love.
But he’s more than meets the eye.
Peggy McBride didn’t expect a white knight in a poker player, but after Mac Maven saves her and her son from a deranged, pie-crazed moose with his race car, she can’t dismiss his appeal. But if she has learned one thing from her divorce, it’s that love is a messy business. As a single mom and the new deputy sheriff, she has her hands full.
Then there’s the billionaire’s ambitious plans for his new boutique poker hotel. She just can’t jump on board with a gambling venue in her town. Her family fell into ruin because of such places. She can’t help but become his fiercest opponent even as Mac treats her with a tenderness and passion she’s never felt.
Having helped his sister raise her teenage son, Mac understands Peggy and can see past her tough-as-nails exterior. When a threat to his hotel surfaces, he and Peggy must join forces to find out who’s responsible.
Working together ignites the white-hot connection between them, and their cooperation takes a decidedly personal turn. But can Mac convince Peggy to set their differences aside and take a gamble on love?
Discover why Ava’s best-selling small town Dare Valley series—filled with romance, family, second chances, suspense, and happily ever after—has captured millions of hearts around the world. Dive into the whole series today!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 142
Trevor Merriam doesn’t like being ordered around by his older brother, much less to a sleepy Irish village to complete a business deal for their family company. Worse: the owner of the land he needs to buy doesn’t want him there. In fact, Becca O’Neill loathes him so much that she won’t even serve him the award-winning scones her famed Wild Irish Rose Bed and Breakfast is known for. Even worse than that (and not getting scones is bad in Trevor’s book): Becca has an ornery cat, a mischievous Irish setter, and a famous ghost all intent on making sure he fails.

The knight was supposed to be a man. Not me, Sophie MacKnight, a marketing associate from California. This must be a practical joke that the Scots play on visiting Americans. Because otherwise I’ve inherited a haunted castle in Scotland, along with one irritatingly sexy Scotsman. Frankly, I thought I would fly here, sell the heap of bricks, and head back home to a life that I…well, I was comfortable with at the very least. Instead, the people of Loren Brae are in trouble, and it appears that as the new owner of the castle, I’m next in line to reinstate the magickal Order of Caledonia.

With her long ponytail and sparkling green eyes, Tessa Donovan looks more like the girl next door than a businesswoman - or a heartbreaker. Which may explain why Detective Luke Asher barely notices her when he arrives to investigate a break-in at her family’s brewery. He’s got his own problems - starting with the fact that his partner, Simone, is pregnant and everyone thinks he’s the father.

wonderful series!
This is series you don't want to miss! If you like a story that sucks you in the first 5 minutes this it. I have listened to 4 of these and every character has a different personality with believable stories on how to mess things up and the pain to fix it back, laugh out loud, maybe shed a tear or two, go get a cup of coffee sit back and enjoy.

Good Read.
If you could sum up The Grand Opening in three words, what would they be?
Hard headed women !
What other book might you compare The Grand Opening to and why?
Hmmm... nothing comes to mind but it certainly got my dander up ! I wanted to strangle the female lead (Peggy) and Abby came in at a close second !
Have you listened to any of Em Eldridge’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes and she's excellent !
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were times I was actually yelling out loud to the characters Peggy & Abby. Peggy was the worst ! Hard nosed obnoxious & bitchy. What did that gorgeous man see in her? I wanted him to dump her & walk away !

Great book
Would you consider the audio edition of The Grand Opening to be better than the print version?
Both are good, depends on personal preference of the reader or listeners
Who was your favorite character and why?
I don’t know the characters blended well together
Have you listened to any of Em Eldridge’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I enjoy listening to her narratives, she has good inflections in her voice and her male and female voices were easy to tell whichever character was talking.
Any additional comments?
On the story I had four stars, only because I couldn’t get the fifth star to take. It’s definitely 5 stars for all categories.
