Penn
by Jennifer Millikin
Thank you to Jennifer Millikin and Valentine PR for providing me an early copy of this audiobook. All opinions are my own.
This was a fun and emotional little series intro, and I already can’t wait to go back to Olive Township.
Penn has come back to the town he grew up in. He left when he was 13, and that was also the last time he saw his childhood sweetheart, Daisy, whom he has just found out is now engaged to a guy he hates…And nobody recognizes him because he’s changed so much.
I’ll be honest, I did have to suspend some disbelief that no one would recognized him, especially Daisy, even if he had grown up and filled out since he left. But, once I got over that, I had a really fun time with this one.
The banter between these two was really fun, especially when it would get flirty. I also really loved the side characters and the dynamics between all of them definitely has me excited to come back and get all their stories.
Do be aware that there is a plot line having to do with an ill/dying parent that really got the waterworks going for me. Just a heads up if that is something you are sensitive to at the moment. 🙏
Audiobook notes: Duet narration! I don’t think I’d previously listened to either of these narrators before but I was very impressed, especially with Hannah Chiclana’s narration; the emotion really came through in some tough scenes that definitely got the tears flowing. 😢
What this book is giving:
✅ Small Town Romance
✅ Duet Narration
✅ The Princess Bride Retelling
✅ Ex-Military
✅ Physical Therapist
✅ Childhood Best Friends
✅ Hidden Identity
Rating:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5
