evarano's review against another edition

Audiobook for this was so good! I loved the accents of both narrators, it really added another layer to the story and made it feel genuine and real. This is a sweet story with some good spice! I loved the chemistry and build up between Wyatt and Andie. I didn’t care too much about the side plots, they were very simple and didn’t add much, but it didn’t take away from the story either. I liked how this mostly focused on Wyatt and Andie and their progression and we saw a lot of them which was great! This book introduced the series, the family and the town really well, can’t wait for the next one!

I mean you got me with huge family and small town romance. Wyatt and Andie are cute it's just I'm not fan of brother best friend trope but that's just me. Overall can't wait to read Tannner and Lucy book exes to lovers and all other siblings are super interesting.

This is the 1st book in Susannah Nix’s King Family series. I think this might be a spin-off from another series, but that didn’t hinder my enjoyment. (Though now I would love to hear how some of those couples got together.).
I love Brother’s Best Friend/Best Friend’s Sister trope as well as friends to lovers and they were both in full force here. Wyatt King is the black sheep of his ice cream empire family and trying to carve his own path in life. Andie Lockhart is Josh’s (his best friend) sister, but also a close friend in her own right. Josh made it clear years ago that he didn’t want Wyatt and Andie together. Wyatt’s been living a life of no new attachments since. Wyatt’s kind of a mess on other fronts - a lot stemming from his chaotic family, disinterest in the family business, and his less than ideal father.
Toss in another favorite trope of forced proximity while Wyatt does repairs on Andie’s house and this was just a great set up for me. These two finally get together and realize how perfect they are for each other. While there is a “third act breakup”, I like that it’s resolved quickly and Wyatt’s grand gesture is adorable. I do wish that Wyatt had done a little more self-examination & acknowledgement of some of his behavior outside of his relationship with Andie. Nix did a lot to build those up and then just kind of left them out there semi-unresolved, perhaps they’ll play in future books more.
Loved the epilogue and am excited for more King siblings to get their HEA. I can’t wait for Lucy & Tanner’s book next.
Narration:
I’m swoony over Amanda Stribling & Chris Brinkley’s narration. They’re both so talented and paired together with this small Texas town’s residents - it’s absolute perfection. A dream to listen to.
Content Warnings (possible spoilers):
excessive drinking (getting repeatedly drunk) & marijuana use by MC
I received a copy of the audiobook from Home Cooked Books and am leaving an honest review.

I was provided an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
Wyatt and Andie were friends forever and dancing around a romance. Wyatt wasn’t sure if he could commit and Andie wasn’t sure about a lot of things.
Insert Josh and Mia from another book…read that one! It’s great!
I enjoyed the story. I enjoyed the story overlap (it’s so good to have a continuation of the story without a continuation of the story).
Check this out! It’s good.

I really like the brothers best friend trope, but Im glad to be done with this book. The whole conflict of this book could of been solved by one simple conversation. Kinda silly. Of course there were some cute parts and the spice was top notch.
It felt like this book was setting up way too much for the rest of the series with so many characters and descriptors, that it took away from this story.

MY CONE AND ONLY
by Susannah Nix
Narrated by Chris Brinkley and Amanda Stribling
Oh my! This book is a wonderful listen! It's my first listen by Susannah Nix and I am hooked! Meet Andie & Wyatt. Both have had a crush on each other, but with Andie's brother being Wyatt's best friend, no feelings were ever expressed. Now Andie is in trouble. Her house may be taken by none other than Wyatt's dad, and he isn't going to let it happen. Will they be able to resist each other now they are together so much? Secrets, fears, love, jealousy, swoony music, we have it all in this flirty, passionate romance. Nix mixes the best friend's sister, forbidden love trope with our friends to lovers romance with just the right amount of angst, romance and humor. And can I say Nix writes the best song lyrics? This is just the first book in the King Family series, and after getting a taste of this family, I can't wait to get to know them all better!
Chris Brinkley and Amanda Stribling are a fantastic pairing. The accents, the emotions, and the passion perfectly executed, sucking me in and making me fall for this couple. Brinkley is swoon worthy as Wyatt. He has an easiness in his narration that makes him sound like your best friend. Stribling comes in with Andie, emotionally charged, knowing what she wants and gives us it all to us with her expressions and inflections. A wonderful storytelling team, and I would love to hear these two together again!
