The One I Didn’t See Coming by Piper Rayne is now on ebook, paperback & audio!
Duet narration performed by: Jason Clarke & Ava Erickson
It’s the classic story—girl returns to her hometown only to end up moving in with her high school crush, who she hates.
Returning to Willowbrook was my only option after Chicago chewed me up and spit me out. Technically, it wasn’t Chicago’s fault. It was his fault—the man I thought I knew who turned out to be a liar.
My older sister, always the one to swoop in and fix things, secured me a job as a yoga instructor on her fiancé’s family ranch. As my self-assigned protector, she’s keeping one eye on me and one eye on Emmett Noughton, her fiancé’s brother.
He’s the charming, fun-loving, take-life-as-it-comes kind of guy, and once upon a time, his name was scribbled in my notebooks. Back then, I was invisible to him. Now, he’s looking at me like I’m the only thing in the room. But he lost his chance with me a long time ago.
It’s easy to keep him at arm’s length and nurse the grudge I’ve held onto for years. Until the house I’m staying in sells, and I have nowhere to go except his house. Now, resisting him isn’t just difficult—it’s impossible.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Book 3 in the Plain Daisy Ranch is the youngest Noughton brother, Emmett, and Gillian’s baby sister, Briar. I loved the connection between these characters, and the evolution of their romance from Briar hating him (thanks to something that happened when they were teenagers) to reluctant roommates, to friends to more.
Briar comes back to town after her life implodes. She’s hiding a major secret, and is hesitant to tell her sister about it. Things between Briar and Emmett’s relationship really take a turn once he figures out what she’s going through, and a friendship develops. Emmett, meanwhile, has been struggling with his hopes/plans for the ranch, and what is expected of him, and Briar becomes his sounding board. Eventually, it gets to the point where they can no longer deny the sexual tension building between them, and they start up a secret relationship.
It was really enjoyable to watch the progression between these two characters. I really loved the sweet connection that both Briar and Emmett have with his cousin’s little girl, Wren, and the way the two of them connected over the loss of their mothers. Narrators Jason Clarke and Ava Erickson did a beautiful job with the duet narration of Emmett and Briar, and I enjoyed listening to them bring this story to life.
I loved the tease in the epilogue about Lottie and Brooks, and am so excited that this series will continue on! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
