Loved You Once
The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers, Book 1
By: Claudia Burgoa
Narrated by: Connor Crais, Stella Hunter

OK, I am totally invested in this series now! This is the first in the Baker's Creek Billionaire Brother's series and the premise has me captivated. Six brothers called back to Baker's Creek for the reading of their estranged father's will. With terms that are beyond believable, the brothers that come from different moms and have fragile relationships all have to live together for 18 months in Bakers Creek. Hayes is the second oldest and takes control of the situation, and along with his old girlfriend, Blair begin to make plans. She is the one he let get away only to marry his brother Carter. Will these two find their way back to each other through this mess of family drama? Claudia Burgoa has me all in for this, and I was rooting for Hayes and Blair from the very start. Hayes is sweet and swoony, but I can definitely understand Blair's hesitations to dive back in. This is a fantastic start to the series, and I can't wait to spend the next 18 months with the siblings to see how it all pans out.

Connor Crais and Stella Hunter could not have been better matched to their characters in this story. Crais brings out all the romance with his swoony sound as Hayes. Hayes is determined and charming, with Crais giving it his all. Hunter always finds her way into her characters, and as Blair, she has a lot of layers to get through. From her sickly childhood, to her marriage and ultimately her big heart, Hunter finds her way through many emotions. I loved this team and they made for an amazing listen.
