About this listen

In Mapleton, love takes a village …

Julia Derks loves the small town of Mapleton where she grew up and launched her business, On Deck Café. What Julia doesn’t love is change. So when a smooth-talking stranger arrives with plans to develop the site of Mapleton’s cherished, shuttered paper mill, she doesn’t even try to hide her contempt. First impressions aren’t everything, though …

Samson Baker has never put down roots. He charms people wherever his development firm sends him, and he’s dealt with his share of pushback from communities unable to recognize the value of growth and change. Mapleton is no different. There’s just one problem, and her name is Julia.

As Samson and Julia’s worlds collide, sparks as bright as Mapleton’s Fourth of July Festival fireworks fly—until a damaging secret threatens both their brewing relationship and their livelihoods. With everything they’ve worked for on the line, can Julia and Samson reconcile their differences, save the café, and have a shot at happily ever after?

Sweet

Supposedly set in small town Wisconsin but couldn’t really get any sense of the place, very generic small town. The protagonist was supposedly a business major and her best friend good in finance, I expected their dialogue to be a bit more intelligent. The romance was sweet but the conflicts very dull. Good to listen to while working as the story was predictable and the listener didn’t have to think.

Light, Fluffy and a Lovely LISTEN

I feel like I have just listened to a hallmark movie and it was great. I love Rincon Chicklit and after listening too a heavy book, this is just what I needed ~ a bit of escapism!

If you want something light hearted then I recommend this listen.
The narrator did her job well.

A story of what we can achieve when we work together

What a lovely tale of community spirit and a whole town vs developers. Not a classic love story but a lovely ending
