Hello Darling by Kayley Loring

5.0

I absolutely loved this hilarious, sweet and steamy romance! Loring has once again written a story that guarantees that I will fall in love with her characters and her signature laugh-out-loud comedic style she has sprinkled throughout this book! This is an absolutely delightful story about a small town girl and her unlikely romance with a sexy British movie star. When Evan Hunter comes to Stella Starky's charming little town to shoot some movie scenes, she couldn't care less. He joins her gym and her conditions are that he is himself, not his public persona. That is her undoing, he not only charms her family but he also charms her and she can't help but fall for the sweet, dirty talking Brit. Evan likes that Stella is real and honest with him, and prefers who he really is. They soon give in to their fiery attraction, agreeing to have a short term, no strings affair. They are opposites in every way but their chemistry is explosive! But rules are meant to be broken when their hearts get involved. When Evan needs to travel for work, will he be able to convince Stella to leave her beloved small town and travel the world with him? There is so much to love about this story, from the quick wit and banter, to the lovable quirky characters, to the sizzling passion, and every hilarious, heartwarming moment in between. Oh and how great is the name Stella Starky?! It flowed so well off Evan's lips, along with 'Hello Darling', I absolutely loved it!
Shane East, and Mackenzie Cartwright were so perfectly cast to narrate this hilarious and heartwarming romance. They nailed the chemistry between Evan and Stella, and their ability to deliver Loring's witty dialogue along with imparting the genuine emotion of all characters was exquisite. Both narrators have a wonderful range of voices and expressions that I love to get lost in and make this story pure pleasure!
