About this listen
A swoony, heart-wrenching small-town romance from USA Today and Wall Street Journal best seller Sarina Bowen!
Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.
What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.
In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after 14 years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.
In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too....
Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.
What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is 2,000 miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.

When I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me, I move out right away taking what I love most – my dog. As I fly out the door, I make sure to swipe the thing my ex loves best–the VIP tickets he won to a hockey game, complete with the chance to spend an evening with the city’s two biggest NHL stars. I can’t wait to snap selfies with my ex’s idols and rub it in his face.

According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town’s founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Never did I think it would lead me straight into the arms of a serial killer. When the magazine I worked for sent me to write a piece on The Elysian, and the recluse architect who created it, I didn’t know what to expect. It certainly wasn’t him. He was supposed to be cold and cruel, but to me, he was Intoxicating. Magnetic. And impossible to quit. The deeper I fell, the harder it became to ignore a voice inside my head telling me that death followed Cain. I wanted to be wrong. Maybe it was all in my head. But I needed to find the answers. Nothing prepared me for what I found….

They call him the Sick Heart. They say he's a shameless monster. They say he's a ruthless killer. They say he's as twisted as the man who owns him. They say a lot of things about Cort van Breda. But in our world violence is money, and money is winning, and winning is life, and life is the only thing that matters. Except...he wasn't meant to win that last fight. And I wasn't meant to be his prize. But he did. And I am. And now his sick heart owns me.

Sometimes you meet someone - maybe meet isn't the right word. You don't even have say hello for this to happen. You simply pass by them, and everything in your world changes forever. Chills flow all the way from the crook in your neck where you imagine he'd kiss you, all the way down, with only a single glance. I know you know what I'm referring to. The moment when something inside of you ignites to life, recognizing their other half that's been gone for far too long. It burns hot, destroying any hope that it's only a coincidence, and that life will go back to what it was.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

When my brother’s best friend proposes we get engaged, I’m a fool to say yes. It’s a fake engagement, because men like Jameson Vance don’t fall in love with women like me. He’s a gorgeous billionaire, a marketing genius and a playboy, and he’s only getting engaged to please his family. I’m an introverted writer, just trying to start my life over, and I’d rather mingle with the rose bushes in his garden than fall in love again.

Small town, friends to lovers, pregnancy!
Good as Gold is the first book in a new series by Sarina Bowen! It does exist in the same world as her True North series so you definitely see characters and familiar places make appearances. This is a small town, friends to lovers, with the heroine asking the hero for help in having a baby!
Leila, Matteo, and Rory grew up together in Vermont spending their highschool years snowboarding together. Rory noticed Matteo interested in Leila and ended up making a pact with him, that Leila was off limits to both of them. Matteo ended up leaving Vermont after graduation and Rory and Leila got married! We then jump to 20 years later.
Matteo Rossi hasn’t been back home to Vermont for 14 years, but decided to come back for his brother’s wedding. He finds out Leila and Rory got divorced recently and when he runs into her again, all those old feels are still there. While babysitting his nephew he needs help and reaches out to Leila, who is also a preschool teacher. Leila and Matteo end up spending time together now that he’s back in town. His best friend and business partner back in Colorado was killed in a slope accident while Matteo was filming him on the slopes, so he’s taking a break back home in Vermont helping out his family with their businesses. Leila ends up telling Matteo she wants to have a baby, she’s 35 and already looking at sperm donors. But one night she gets drunk and asks Matteo to impregnate her!
This had some great mutual pining, both have been into one another for so long and it was fun seeing them finally give into one another. I loved how much his family and her family, the Giltmakers, were in this. The flashback chapters did throw me off as they’re told in 3rd person POV, while the present day chapters are 1st person. This story definitely focuses heavily on pregnancy and Leila’s fertility journey of trying to have a baby. The chemistry between Matteo and Leila was really good and I just wanted him to get the girl already. The audiobook was really good, Jason Clarke and Lessa Lamb, definitely delivered! I feel like we got a good setup for her brother having a book next and I’m just excited for more in this new series.

Heartwarming Gold
I love the flow of this audiobook. The narration perfectly portrayed both of these characters, the story was a beautiful and the very realistic friendship and love story. What I love the most was how tender Matteo was with women in his life from the very start. His character was genuine and Jason Clarke did an incredible job with his performance. Lessa Lamb is becoming one of my favourite female narrators. Sarina Bowen has done it yet again. She is an automatic purchase for me and this trio is perfection for this story. The internal struggle these characters work through together and apart feels very real life and relatable. You don’t need an abundance of angst to keep the reader interested and the solid foundation this couple has speaks volumes about Sarina Bowens writing and her gift to pull you into her books from the very first chapter.

Great Story!
Loved this story and this world Sarina Bowen has made. Jason Clark was wonderful but the female narrator sounded like she was over acting , she wasn't terrible but it was annoying.

Small town Vermont & Second Chance ❤️
I love being back in the True North world. Yes, this is its own story but we see characters from True North. And I feel like we’ll be getting some more books in the world of the Giltmakers/Rossis and I am here for it.
Leila and Matteo were best friends growing up. They were also attracted to each other but never told each other. So this is one of my favorite tropes: a second chance romance.
Matteo returns home after being gone for over a decade. Leila is recently divorced and looking to have a baby since she’s getting “old”. After a drunken night she asks Matteo to help her get pregnant the old fashioned way. This forces them both to face their old feelings and come to terms with what they want in life. Matteo is also dealing with the loss of his best friend in a tragic snowboarding accident.
This is such a hard story to review/talk about. It’s very emotional. It was definitely harder for me to read about Matteo dealing with his grief. They both have heavy stuff to deal with, his just hit me harder at this point in my life. The decision to have sex with the intention of having a baby added an interesting dynamic. I’m not sure I’ve read something like that before. It made the pacing odd. Not bad odd, just odd. Those scenes were hot and emotional but were prompted in a different way. Also because of that, the emotional beats for the romance just felt different. Again, it’s hard to explain. I think as a romance reader you kind if expect certain plot points at certain times and this was varied.
This was a beautiful love story and I’m so happy to be back in Vermont with Sarina’s characters. You can easily jump in here and read it as a stand alone or read this after the True North books and love all the mentions if characters we already know.
Sadly, Jason Clarke carries this audio. Lessa Lamb just doesn’t connect as well. It isn’t un-listenable, but I recommend reading by ebook if that option is available to you.

Female narrator didn’t do it for me.
Good story, love Jason, wish they had gone with a different female narrator. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I REALLY wanted to love it…
Unfortunately, because of the female narrator, it was an absolute whip to finish this audiobook. Serena Bowen = auto by. Jason Clark = auto by…, however, Lessa Lamb = hard pass. It was the first book of hers I’ve listened to and it will be my last, I ended up having to skip over her chapters and read them in Kindle instead. I honestly hope she reads these reviews, not because I want to hurt her feelings or anything, but I think she has the potential to be good if she would not over enunciate and over act the entire time. The part didn’t sound natural… it sounded acted which ruins it for me. Her male voice was almost as bad as Savannah Peachwood.
The story itself was great, I really liked it. I like all of Serena Bowen stuff. The only complaint I would have is that Leila was not nice to Mateo when he was trying to be helpful. Also, any couples in these types of romance novels where they have such a lack of communication, it’s annoying. What could’ve been cleared up with one short conversation, didn’t happen until the end. I get that the book needs some kind of drama or angst, but when the characters won’t tell each other how they feel a lot of stubbornness is very annoying.
All in all, I’ve got book though if you can deal with a female narrator otherwise I’d recommend reading it

Another Sarina Bowen RomCom Home Run!
There is a reason why Sarina Bowen is one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. That reason? She's just freakin awesome, that's why! Sarina Bowen writes characters with some much heart and soul that you fall in love with them as they they fall in love with each other. Leila and Matteo definitely continue to make me fall in love with Sarina's universe of characters.
Good As Gold kicks off a new series following the Giltmaker family, but we see favorites from the World of True North in the Shipleys and the Rossis. Matteo Rossi can't help but fall hard for Leila Giltmaker after a long absence, and I'm glad he found his way back home.
Like all of the other World of True North books, Good as Gold is a standalone set in Vermont, with lots of humor, heart and heat to keep you satisfied. Matteo Rossi left Vermont a long time ago and stayed away because the girl he loves wasn't his for the taking. But here he is, 14 years later, back for his brother's wedding, and now that woman is not just available, but ready to help heal his heart and his relationship with his family. Leila is recently divorced, but she knows what she wants more than anything in the world - she wants to be a mother. When Matteo walks back into her life, she knows that he's meant to be her baby's daddy.
Matteo and Leila both have a lot of healing to do, as individuals and on their path to coupledom. They are both really beautiful, caring souls, and they were meant to be even though they didn't realize it when they were teenagers. They brought out amazing feelings in each other, and they truly showed each other how love can heal. The audiobook, narrated by Jason Clarke and Lessa Lamb, was truly superb. They both brought so much emotion and feeling to their performances, and they help you fall even more in love with the story and characters that Sarin Bowen has written.
