My rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☎️🍸🍻🍷🍹🥪🎟
My thoughts: I loved it. I don't know why people are so polite they just can't stop dating someone they're not interested in but I appreciate the simple sweet story. It made me want to read the whole series. This story was connected to other stories but it is definitely written away where you could just jump in anywhere with minimum spoilers, they don’t tell you more than you'd find on a blurb so you'd really have to read to get the ending, even though they're continuing the story here. I know how couples met but not how they got together, who’s chilling with who but not if they are in a secret romance or at the beginning of one, and who has conflict for a possible future connection. I think this is the perfect way to do a romance series no full detailed recaps just vagueness to make you want to read the other books without spoiling the love story.
Recommend to others?: Yes! This was short, sweet, and fun.

This is such a sweet story of love and friendship. Charlie isn’t the gorgeous hunk most women are looking for but he has a mesmerizing voice and a wonderful personality. Maggie is gorgeous: she’s also falling in love with the man on the phone. There are lots of laughs and some very sweet moments. So much to love in this hard-to-put-down book.
A funny and I entertaining new romance. Maggie is almost in love with a voice of the man she calls to get supplies for her bar. However since he keeps cancelling on her, they never actually meet face to face. After awhile she is accepts a date from someone else who just happens to be Charlie's best friend.
We have been waiting for quite awhile for Maggie and Charlie's story. This book did not disappoint. Maggie has been swooning over Charlie's voice for quite sometime now. And it seems, Charlie is also mesmerized by Maggie. This was a great short book about Charlie and Maggie!
I've been waiting for this story for ages. Maggie'a phone crush she'd never met. It was worth the wait. A great story even if things don't seem to go quite to plan. Highly recommend!
A charming voice captures Maggie and they come to know each other without meeting. Finally their story happens with a meeting and friends and family. You will like Charlie as much ad Maggie does.
This is a outstanding and refreshing sweet romance with endearing and adorable characters that will definitely steal your heart and touch your soul with their beautiful journey towards unconditional love.
This was long awaited! We have been hearing about Maggie's infatuation with Charlie's voice since the series started. Will their face to face meeting live up to their expectations?
Charlie- has a mesmerizing voice and runs the liquor distribution and Maggie- co owns the Quinn family restaurant. I enjoyed reading this captivating story that is fantastically written with charismatic characters and witty dialogue. Their story has a wonderful HEA.
We have been waiting almost since book one of this Quinn Valley series for Maggie and Charlie to get their book. They have been flirting for months but Charlie lacks self confidence and is worried that when they finally meet Maggie will be disappointed. However Maggie has already fallen for the quiet, charming Charlie and nobody else comes close but will she ever convince him of this? You won't be disappointed with this fun, flirty, sometimes a little crazy, visit to Quinn Valley - as always it was a pleasure. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.
