This is the swooniest book I’ve encountered in a long time. It ticked boxes I didn’t know existed. From the hilarious meet cute to the final bonus epilogue it was perfection. Holt is the strong yet vulnerable type of hero I love (shades of Ares Berger) and Ziggy makes me want to hug her and offer to be her new bestie. I won’t rehash the plot but it was really satisfying and felt “right”. These people were meant to find each other and life was supposed to happen this way.

As always, the audio narration was outstanding. I’m more familiar with Connor Crais as a narrator than I am with Kit Swann but they were excellent together. I’m so excited rugby romance is becoming more popular and hope there are more Copper Valley Pounders stories in the future.

Cash Rivers was never a Pippa Grant hero I was clamoring for because so many of her other heroes are bolder and demanding attention. Cash would get mentioned now and then but fade into the background. Now I know why. He was waiting for Aspen and she didn't show up until Cooper Rock got his act together.

This novella was perfection. The narration by Emma Wilder and Sebastian York is top notch. They captured the personalities and vulnerabilities of Aspen and Cash as if they were living the story.

This feels like a "classic" Pippa Grant story and I'm there for it. I loved glimpses of couples and their families from prior stories. Pippa shines when she shows connections and revel in the community she's built. It's comforting. It's what I needed. I think it's what we all needed. Thank you, Pippa.

This is the Pippa Grant book I didn't know I needed. I loved being among familiar characters again and it feeling like a "classic" Pippa Grant story. Finding out there was a secret relationship happening behind the scenes of other stories is awesome. Now I want to go back and reread the Thrusters and Fireballs books to see if there were any hints or glimpses.

Duncan has always been a bit of a mystery man and getting to know him has been such a treat. I love the relationship with his college age niece. I'm hoping there will be a story for her in the future as a "next generation" type story. The insight into an athlete facing the end of his career and what retirement can look like was touching.

Addie was delightful. Pippa has a talent for putting her characters in hilarious situations but having their vulnerability and hearts shine through even though we're laughing our heads off. The determination Addie shows to excel in her career is admirable. That she feels the need to suppress her "softer" side in order to project a more "professional" image in a traditionally male profession is all too relatable.

The narration of the audio book (Virginia Rose and Tim Paige) was top notch. I'm always amazed at how the narrators can bring out the emotion and vulnerability lying underneath the humor.

I can't wait to see what happens next in Copper Valley. I love visiting there. You will too.

It's baseball season, you need this. 5 awesome stories, 38+ hours of narration from some of the absolute best in the business. You cannot go wrong. Below are my thoughts on some of the stories in no particular order of awesomeness because spoiler alert, they are ALL awesome! Even if you listened to all of them before, get the collection for the bonus novella available in audio only in this collection. I won't spoil anything for you but the end- worth it!

Grumpy Player Next Door
I have no idea how Pippa Grant manages to balance to heart and humor but she does it brilliantly. This brother’s best friend romance deals with serious issues like anxiety and childhood neglect but balances them with a profane pirate and wacky townspeople. It’s another treasure to be found in Shipwreck, VA.

The narration is incredible, Savannah Peachwood and Wen Ross bring to life the vulnerable nuances to the characters that sometimes get missed when you are only reading Pippa’s stories and not hearing them. They also nail the humor and wackiness that are Pippa Grant hallmarks.

Real Fake Love
As usual Pippa Grant brings the hilarity and heart to a story. Jason Clarke and Virginia Rose were superb as always. Warning- don’t listen to chapter 11 in public. I want to live in Copper Valley.

Irresistible Trouble
As an ardent Pippa Grant fan, I knew that Cooper Rock's story had been a long time coming. He is a special character and deserved the perfect story. Irresistible Trouble delivers on all fronts. As always, Pippa melds humor and heart perfectly. Cooper has shown himself to be a larger than life character in cameo roles in other books. Here, we see the vulnerability and insecurity underneath it. Waverly Sweet is the perfect foil for him. She has her own issues to deal with while presenting the perfect pop princess persona. I can't imagine a more perfect pairing for these two characters.

The narration is top notch as always. Mackenzie Cartwright and Connor Crais are longtime favorites from Kayley Loring books and they brought their magic to this story. I just finished listening this morning and am ready to listen again.

A Pippa Grant story is like an infusion of happiness. You can count on a heaping helping of hilarity with a side of heartfelt sincerity. I love that she has brought us to the world rugby, a sport I really enjoy watching. Fletcher’s search for a new place to fit in after being blindsided by being cut from his team and losing what he expected from his life was relatable. Who hasn’t had their expectations turned upside down at some point? Goldie is his perfect match, blazing a trail of how to pivot when your expectations are upended.

I loved watching them slowly learn more about each other and let go of preconceptions and pejudices. Fletcher’s love for his tiny dog Sweet Pea shows the capacity he has for love and tenderness.

As always, the audiobook narration is perfection. Samantha Brentwood and Jason Clarke brought the story to life. The bonus epilogue included in the audiobook makes me want a spin off story in the worst way. I’m sad it’s over but so happy this story exists. I can’t wait for the next!

As always, Pippa Grant blends heart and hilarity and her audiobooks take the stories to the next level with top notch narration. Connor Crais and Savanna Peachwood shine bringing the stories to life. I'm not usually a fan of secret baby romances but Pippa managed to pull this off without anyone really being the "bad guy".

I appreciated the growth of the characters from when we first meet them in other books. I think this was a wonderful end to the trilogy and I loved revisiting past characters and the inclusion of some unexpected friends. I do suggest listening to or reading Pippa's "The Last Eligible Bachelor" as well as the first two books in the Three BFFs and a Wedding series to understand the characters and relationships but it's not strictly necessary as this story stands alone. The entire relationship is in this story from first meeting to HEA, it's just you'll understand each MCs backstory better and the supporting characters if you read the other books too. The narration for each is fabulous! Finally, I think Yolko Ono is the most perfect chicken name ever.

Pro hockey player Sly Remington has had a secret crush on girl next door Clara Connor for years. When fate and his meddling mother bring the together again Sly finally has the chance to go for what he’s always wanted. Grown up Clara is a single mom with an adorable daughter and her own secret crush on Sly. The Wedding Winger is a sweet but steamy story of taking advantages of second chances when they are offered and recognizing you are not limited by the lies you tell yourself that you’re good enough.
As with all of Delancey’s romcoms, this story is full of quirky, memorable characters, humor, heart, and heat, and a small town you want to visit. Add in hockey, and it’s the perfect romcom for me! I want season tickets to the Wilcox Wombats and can’t wait to watch more hot hockey players fall in love.
The audiobook narration by Alex Kydd and Stella Bloom was great. It was a wonderful listen.

Classic Pippa Grant! I never thought I’d want to live anywhere else in the Pippaverse other than Copper Valley, VA but I’m ready to start packing to move to Snaggletooth Creek, CO! Full of Pippa’s signature quirky characters, The Gossip and the Grump hits all the right notes of hilarity, heat, and humor. Sabrina (the gossip) and Grey (the grump) are perfectly imperfect humans doing the best they can with the messes life deals them. Jitter the tweenage St. Bernard puppy is the latest in the line of animal characters that could easily steal the show but instead are the perfect complement to the story.
As always, top notch narration. Jason Clarke is perfection and Callie Dalton shines. I can’t wait for the next story in the series and hope we come back to Snaggletooth Creek again and again as we travel the Pippaverse.

I love hockey romances and if they are true romcoms, even better. This book checked all my boxes. Sexy hero, exasperated heroine, ridiculous meet cute, banter for days. Yes, please. Add in the small town ridiculousness of Singletree, Maryland and cameos from other stories in Delancey’s Stewart’s romcom universe and it’s perfection. I can’t wait to read future books in the Zamboni Diaries series. It’s just a fun premise. I’m a Wilcox Wombats fan!

The audio by James Cavenaugh and Stephanie Rose was a treat. Rock’s voice narrated by James was so sexy. Stephanie captured Drea’s exasperation perfectly. As a team, they perfectly convey both the sexiness and the silliness of the story. What a wonderful introduction to a new series!
