Winning Ben: A Cypress Corners Novel by JoMarie DeGioia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

•••I listened to the Audible Audio Edition of this book•••


Wendy Rich Stetson’s performance has gotten better with each book in this series! As the characters gain more depth and she gets more familiar with them and their relationships her portayals have become even more believable! I really enjoyed all the subtle nuances and subtext she conveys. I can't wait to listen to more of her performances :)

Not Looking For Forever



This series must be listened to (or read) in order. The first book is Finding Harmony. The second book is Taming Jake. The third book is Loving Cassie. This is the fourth book. I can't wait to listen to the next one!



Ben never knew he had siblings. Until his mother's death he thought he was an only child. Now he has a bunch! Rick, Jake, and Cassie as well as their respective mates, all make him feel welcomed and part of a larger whole. He doesn't know what to do with that. Or his adorable nephew Nick who seems to adore him. Being sent to Cypress might be a blessing in disguise. After all, his siblings found a good life there! The beautiful and poised sales rep Tammy intrigues him in a way no other woman ever has. Will he ever get his creative spark back? How do you learn to let family in when you have never had much? Can he convince Tammy to give him a real shot? Or will she always push him away? Is he the kind of guy who now wants Forever?


Tammy has had enough of the Chapmans! Yes, she is good friends with all the old Chapman kids now... But this newest Chapman spells trouble for her in a big way! She can't and won't handle a relationship. Her life and her job are all that really matter. Marriage and breeding is her family way... And she is having none of it. She likes her life just the way it is. Will Ben change her mind? Or will she be able to resist him indefinitely? How can she let herself hope for Forever when he will just move on? Is there real hope for them?


***This chicklit romance series is suitable for adult readers who enjoy hopeful stories with plenty of steam and a dash of ecofriendly morals to go with the requisite HEA :)
