About this listen

The football star, the lumberjack, and a small-town love story…

Silas

Not to sound dramatic, but I can’t decide if I’m a hot mess, a has-been…or both.

There’s nothing quite like being in the spotlight at my lowest point. I could use a break from LA and my agent just for a little while. But Vermont in the middle of a blizzard? Probably not a great idea. However, the sexy lumberjack who lives next door is a sweet surprise. And so are his kids and the town.

I like this place. I could be happy here…at least till my new season begins.

Cooper

My time is split between work and fatherhood. That’s it. Boss and Dad. Maybe that’s why the football star is a breath of fresh air. Silas is funny, charismatic, and cool.

My kids love having a celebrity living next door. And me? I can’t remember the last time I felt quite so alive.

Yes, I’m well aware this isn’t going anywhere. Our worlds are just too different.

Too bad, ’cause this guy feels like the real thing.

Silas Anderson is retiring from the NFL. His marriage has ended in divorce. His friend, Val offers him his house in Wood Hollow, Vermont for a while. Just as he arrives a snow storm closes in.
Cooper McMurry finds his new neighbour interesting, but clueless in the snow.
Finding Silas walking in a snow storm and incoherent, he knows he is suffering from mild hyperthermia. The best way to get him warm is skin on skin contact and a warm fire. What could possibly happen?

This is Lane Hayes’ first book in the Wood Hollow series. I loved the previous series Elmwood, it was one of my favourites, so I just knew I would love this book. I loved how the characters from Elmwood were mentioned too. The writing and the easy way the story flows is exceptional, which I have come to expect from Lane.
Nick J Russo does an exceptional job of bringing these characters to life. His narration and annotation of his voice are second to none.

Amazing narrator
