Mari Carr pens another fabulous novel set in her “Wilder Irish” series, and she turns up the heat for this trifecta of a romance, between Finn, Miguel and Layla. After breaking off a long-term relationship, Layla left Philadelphia and her overprotective Moretti brothers to start over in Baltimore, the place she spent her younger years. She purchased and runs a coffee shop, The Daily Grind, which is Finn’s favorite place. So when he stops in, it surprised him to see his childhood friend LJ, Layla Jean, and the two reconnect and catch up. All grown up and gorgeous, Finn is attracted to her, but after hearing her out, realizes she is not looking to get into any type of relationship. Miguel, a police officer and Finn’s friend, is Bi and his attraction to Finn is more than just friends, but he knows Finn is straight and he would not jeopardize their friendship by making a move on him. Should he tell him how he feels about him? It was discouraging to hear that Finn was interested in an old friend who returned to town, so he was about to give up hope that anything more would come out of their friendship. Layla was closing her shop when an armed robber comes in demanding money, she calls the police after he leaves and it was Miguel who responds to shop. Layla and Miguel hit it off too, and they make plans to see each other again. Both Finn and Miguel know she is not looking for a relationship and that she just wants to play the field and explore. When the two realize they both not only know Layla, but are interested in her, all bets are off and it was not Miguel who had to make the first more on Finn, either. I loved how everything played out in this smoking hot MMF romance, the writing, plot and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. It was great to see and hear more worlds of wisdom from PopPop, also great to see some characters from earlier books and other series. Mari Carr, thank you for another wonderfully entertaining story. 

🎧📚🎧 And for amazing narration and lineup of talent, Lee Daniels, Connor Brown and Oliver Highpoint were the perfect cast to bring these characters and story to life. They understood the characters they were portraying, their character voices were fitting, sounding believable and just as I imagined they would sound. You could hear how much heart they put into their performance as they capture all the characters’ emotions and have you feeling them all. These talented and versatile voice artists are entertaining storyteller and their narration enhances this already fantastic story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.
