“The Buy-In” is a tremendous romantic enemy-to-lover audiobook with excellent narration that brings the story to life wonderfully. Lindy and Pat have history, but it is not all sweetness and happiness for Lindy when fate throws them back together. However, she soon discovers that she may not want him, but she will need Pat if her family are to stay together.
Both Lindy and Pat are well-constructed characters, making them relatable and likeable. Throw in excellent secondary characters, and you have the making of an entertaining and engaging story. It is heart-warming and charming, it is hard not to invest in Lindy and Pat’s relationship, and I have not rooted for a couple as much as these for a while.
This story is the first in “The Graham Brothers” series, and I am intrigued to read/listen to more. This author has a very impressive back catalogue, which I hope to make my way through in the future.
I highly recommend “The Buy-In” to all romance genre fans in any format. I am incredibly grateful for this gifted copy by the author in exchange for an honest and voluntary review, and all opinions are my own.

Second chance romance. He's larger than life, impulsive. She's a single mom. His famous father (retired NFL star) talks him in to buying the town of Sheet Cake, Texas with him. While there checking it out, he runs into the love of his life from college. They'd been good friends and were determined not to get serious about one another because they had plans for the future that would separate them. He got drafted into the NFL. He THOUGHT she was off traveling the world chasing her own dreams. He could never forget her though, so running in to her in Sheet Cake, TX was a surprise.
This series is so GOOD. The town gossip app is hilarious.

I adore this book. It’s one of the funniest books I’ve read in a long time. I had a huge, giddy smile on my face the majority of the time I was reading this.
Pat is now my new book boyfriend and it’s going to take a lot to knock him off that top spot. He is honestly perfect.
Firstly, Pat loves romance shows. Need I say more? He also does the most adorable giggle (well, it’s adorable in my head) when he’s nervous. It makes we want to reach through the book and squeeze him.
I’d say Lindy’s character was fine. There wasn’t anything particularly special about her. However, I did appreciate how strong she was. She had a lot of things she was dealing with and she handled it all so well.
My favourite thing about this book was the mental health representation - Pat had ADHD. I feel like the author handled it so respectfully. It wasn’t done just to tick a box but rather it actually played a part in the story. It also taught me a lot about the condition aswell which makes me really respect the author. As a mental health sufferer myself I always think it’s important to raise more awareness around mental health conditions.
I was addicted to this book from the very first chapter and if I didn’t have to face the real world (essays…you suck) then I would have finished this in a day. I highly recommended you go read this book right now.
✦ Tropes included: second-chance romance, single parent, marriage of convenience

Funny, but a little frenetic for my taste. She tends to overdo the amount of sparks between the main characters.
This book was cute. I enjoyed it, but I was also annoyed and frustrated and just wanted to punch the FMC and MMC in the face because all they needed to do was talk. I did find the found family and real family was heartwarming.
