Publisher's summary

It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.

Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.

My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.

He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.

It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

5 "The One I Didn’t See Coming" ⭐ - a must-listen!

After a string of dark romances and a bit of a book slump, I found the perfect antidote in Piper Rayne’s The One I Didn’t See Coming. This spicy, small-town romance is an absolute palate cleanser, brimming with charm and warmth. For audiobook enthusiasts, it’s a must-listen—veteran narrators Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson bring the story to vibrant life with their captivating performances.

The One I Didn’t See Coming by Piper Rayne is the third installment in the Plain Daisy Ranch series, and here, readers return to the charming world of Willowbrook, Nebraska. This time, the spotlight is on Emmett Noughton, the youngest Noughton brother, whose innovative ideas for the family ranch are often overlooked or ignored. Known for his carefree attitude and reputation with women, Emmett struggles to be taken seriously until Briar returns from a life in the city.

Briar, who once had a high school crush on Emmett, finds herself reluctantly moving into his home when her initial living arrangements fall through. Despite her resistance and their rocky start, Emmett's genuine support and their undeniable chemistry lead to a surprising and heartwarming connection. As Briar's hidden secrets come to light and Emmett faces challenges with his family, their evolving relationship becomes a source of comfort and growth for both.

I haven’t had the pleasure of reading the ebook yet—but fear not, I’ve already purchased it and plan to dive in momentarily.😉 The audiobook, however, was outstanding. Narrators Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson did a fantastic job of bringing Emmett and Briar to life. Their vivid portrayals captured the emotional depth and witty banter between the characters beautifully. Jason and Ava are among my favorite audiobook narrators, so my anticipation for their performance was sky-high. (I might have a bit of a Jason Clarke addiction, but that’s neither here nor there. His voice perfectly complements one of Piper Rayne’s heroes!) With the help of their engaging storytelling and dynamic performances, Piper Rayne delivers another delightful and poignant addition to the series. I’m eagerly anticipating the next book. Don’t miss out on this feel-good gem that’s sure to leave you smiling!

Cute story

I loved the series. Can’t wait for the next book. I was kinda hoping it would be about Bennett. Maybe there will be five books
