About this listen
“So you’re single?”
“Are you seriously hitting on me right now while I have breastmilk all over my shirt?”
When Grant Thomas, the handsome stranger standing in front of me in line at the coffee shop, stripped his uniform shirt off and handed it to me, I could have sworn I was on an episode of Punked. Not only was the man Gabe Kapler’s doppelganger, but he was also a pilot and good with babies, which my six month-old daughter could attest to as she settled in his arms while I changed into his shirt, contemplating all of my life choices at that moment.
Being a single mom is a lot harder than I thought it would be, but that was the decision I made when I chose to have a child via sperm donor since I was tired of waiting on Mr. Right.
But suddenly, Mr. I’m-Too-Sexy-for-my-Shirt appears in my life—not only once, but twice—and has me wondering where the hell he’s been and why I didn’t meet him sooner?
Grant demonstrates time and again that he’s invested in me and my daughter, shows up for me when I need him the most, and makes my toes curl in a way I didn’t know was possible.
He’s perfect. Our relationship is perfect.
Until it’s not.
When the inkling that I’m missing something comes to fruition, there’s only one question I need to answer…
Will my heart end up broken like every time before, leaving me destined to be alone?
Or could our path to find one another prove that not everything happens as planned?

But sadly, his scheme to impress his boss left me with something to gain from it too—getting my meddling mother, who was obsessed with my love life, off my back just in time for my parents’ thirtieth wedding anniversary celebration in Hawaii.

Story
One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Story
My new neighbor happens to be the grumpiest billionaire in Whispers, but his gravelly voice and golden brown eyes make this city girl weak at the knees. When my life imploded and I lost my job and my fiancé in a matter of weeks, I didn’t know what my next step should be. Then I received an inheritance that would change my life forever. Moving to a small town and renovating the old farmhouse was a step in the right direction. But bickering with my startling good looking, yet much older neighbor was not part of my plan.

Story
In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible. The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water. And never, ever get involved with a caller.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

Demi Crawford was Magnolia Falls royalty. I was the boxer from the wrong side of the tracks. She was the epitome of everything good, while I was broody and rebellious. We couldn’t be more different. Her family was enemy number one which made her guilty by association. I despised her before I even knew her. It was easier that way. But now she’d moved in next door to me, and she was everywhere I turned. I couldn’t avoid her no matter how hard I tried. She was beautiful and honest and sweet. Everything I knew I shouldn’t want. Shouldn’t need.

A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Logan Murphy should come with a warning. He’s as hot as a Carolina Reaper on black asphalt in the middle of July. With perfectly messy dark hair and smoldering blue eyes—and don’t even get me started on the way that black tee stretches across his toned chest… He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

Foolish women fall in love with the bad boy. Cane Alexander was bad boy personified. Confident, he entered a room with his piercing blue eyes wearing a smug grin. He was the proverbial red flag wrapped up in a ridiculous set of abs. I tried to resist him. After all, I was done being a fool. Maybe it was his charm, or perhaps it was his persistence. Maybe it was how he entered my life and refused to leave. Whatever the reason, I fell for the one man I should’ve resisted.

Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All I have to do is tame Nash Wilde. It’s been two years since my sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash. The last person I expected to show up on my doorstep was his father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, he came with an offer I’d be an idiot to pass up: be his son’s girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and the one million dollars is mine.

Lennox Kennedy is beautiful, loud, and the love of my life. She's also my ex-girlfriend. The first time I saw her after ten years apart, I slammed into the plexiglass minutes before our game was set to begin. The second time I threw up. The third time's a charm apparently because as my fiancée and I walked into an appointment to meet the woman hired to plan our nuptials—there she was again. Obviously, I did what any smart man would do—I called off the wedding. I don't have a plan per se, other than winning back the only girl I've ever loved.

It’s the sexiest one-night stand I’ve ever had. At daybreak, the bed is cold, and Sadie is gone. And for the first time in my life, the scorching chemistry and carnal memories leave me wanting more.

He always says the only solid thing in his life is our friendship. He’s Honey Mountain's favorite player and I’m what you’d call "a relationship girl".

A meet cute usually held for the movies enters in Grant. Though there is definitely more to him than he seems to let on he is ready to make sure to show Noelle exactly how special she really is.
I loved the growth and development both of them had through this story. As I said it was such a beautiful story to read. I love these Ladies Who Brunch and all the ways they stand up and support each other through all that life brings.
I really love this series

📚Story Summary and Review📚
Noelle Parker: “lover of romance, believer of soul mates”, planner, and “type A” to a tee. Tired of waiting for her Mr. Right Noelle takes matters into her own hands and makes herself the mom she always wanted to be via sperm donor. Tired, overwhelmed, and covered in leaked breast milk, Noelle meets the swooniest and most chivalrous man on the planet. A dead ringer for Gabe Kepler, he leaves her nothing short of speechless.
I devoured this story and it easily moved into first place of the series for me. There were so many laughs! Noelle goes on a rant about her ex’s that will have you rolling. The funniest part is that Harlow said they’re all true stories from readers! 😂🫣
Not As Planned wholly and accurately reflects the trials and tribulations of motherhoods. The good, bad, ugly, and smelly….And the MOM GUILT!
@harlowjamesauthor writes the most relatable and real life characters. I cannot express my gratitude enough that Not as Planned captures just a glimpse of the internalized emotion and struggle surrounding infertility.
Having experienced a not so straight forward journey myself, the emotion and connection I felt for these two fictional characters was off the charts! These two could easily be our friends, family, or neighbors and it was truly a beautiful reminder that we never really know what others are going through, and there’s no right way to make a family.
🎧❤️Audiobook Review❤️🎧
In the world of narration, @carleyrobinson and @connorcrais are remarkable talents who consistently mesmerize me with their captivating performances. Their seamless delivery, rich character portrayals, and impeccable pacing make every listening experience unforgettable. It's simply another job well done, they consistently deliver nothing but excellence.
Special thanks to: @homecookedbooks and Harlow James for this ALC. It was my pleasure.

Noelle has always played it safe, but when she meets a sexy pilot who saves her day at a coffee shop, all bets are off.
Grant gives her the shirt off his back, literally, and then another chance encounter has them both thinking they shouldn't let this opportunity go and see where it takes them
I have thoroughly enjoyed each book in this series, but I have to say, this one has my heart. I love that Grant truly sees Noelle, and he gives her experiences she's never had. He's pure swoon.
I always enjoy listening to Connor Crais and CJ Bloom and their performances of these characters is beautiful. I felt the emotion of Grant's pain, knowing he possibly could not give Noelle a future she may want. As a mom myself, I could also feel the emotions of Noelle always questioning her choices as a mother. These two give a stellar performance.

Connor Crais and CJ Bloom absolutely killed this! I loved how they brought all the vulnerable and raw emotions to life. You could feel the characters emotions throughout this audiobook! The love and care they had for each other too 🥰
This is absolutely my favorite of the series! I am so gone for Grant and how he immediately loved Scarlet like his own. It was so adorable listening to Grant and Noelle’s first interactions. Noelle is such a strong person, and hearing the vulnerability she has as a single mother was so real. This might be one of my favorite single mom books because of that.
Grant is seriously so swoon-worthy! I was giggling so hard every time he was wanting to see scarlet and spend time with both of ‘his girls’ 🫶🏼 I loved the twists this book had too!! I was so drawn to it, I could’ve listened to more hours. But the ending and the epilogue was exactly what we needed!!
Oh, and we can’t forget the girl gang! Seriously one of my favorite friendship groups for sure! 🤍

Noelle is a literary agent who was tired of waiting for Mr. Right and decides to have a baby via donation. Grant is a pilot with past trauma who is not sure he wants to date again due to some past health problems. Noelle and Grant have an embarrassingly cute meet cute but don’t exchange numbers! Fate steps in and they meet again!
I really enjoyed this book especially the audiobook! This isn’t your typical single mom read as Noelle chooses to have a baby without a partner. We do see her struggle but she has an amazing support system. I absolutely love her friend group! Grant and Noelle have amazing chemistry from the moment they meet. You can tell from the beginning Grant would do anything to support Noelle and her daughter! I love the relationship between Grant and Noelle’s daughter, they have a connection from the start. It was so sweet! Swoon Worthy!
The narration was absolute perfection! Connor did an amazing job handling all the emotional stuff from Grant’s past. CJ did an amazing job portraying Noelle and displaying Noelle’s emotions through her struggles as a single mom.
I loved this series! I can’t wait to read more by Harlow James!

I loved this book the first time and I loved it the second time. Getting to listen to the book has been great and I could cry without having to stop.
Connor Crais and CJ Bloom did amazing as Grant and Noelle.
If you want a single mom who has a great group of friends and stumbles upon the greatest man in a coffee shop, who is too sexy for his shirt. Then this book is for you.
I can’t wait to relive Newberry Springs through audio.

Not as planned is so raw and real and Conner Crais & CJ Bloom did a phenomenal job narrating Grant and Noelle. They brought so much emotion to these characters and narrated their story beautifully.
Noelle and Grant were each so vulnerable because of what they had been through before meeting. They may have found forever with one another but it was a long road there, and the most perfect coffee shop meet cute to ever exist. I don't think either of them thought a chance encounter involving leaking breast milk would lead to happily ever after.
Through their individual struggles amidst navigating a new relationship we see this couple grow and form a genuine, honest, unconditional love. The bond that Grant formed with Scarlett is the stuff single moms dream of finding. When a man can love your child as much as he loves you, he's a keeper. Let's not forget the steamy time...Grant and Noelle's chemistry and passion was off the charts! That sweet man had a dirty mouth and I was here for it! They completed one another in every single way.
Having the other Ladies who Brunch, and their hubby's make cameos to have their girls back made this well rounded story even better! I will forever love this found family and group of friends and know I will find myself re-listening to the series. I highly recommend Not As Planned - as well as the rest of the series in audio. You will not be disappointed!
The perfect ending to one of my favorite series!

NOT AS PLANNED
📚By: Harlow James
🎤Narrated by CJ Bloom & Connor Crais
Harlow James has outdone herself with the 4th book in this series. She's written literally the perfect book about being a mother, whether you're single or not & how falling in love can complete the dream you've been wishing for all your life. Every mother, new mom, woman whose pregnant needs to read this book. I think back to being a new mom & how hard it was & this book would have saved me so much time feeling the "mom guilt." Feeling like I was not a good mom because the career I had, I stopped, & now I didn't know who I was without it. Motherhood changed my identity. There were days I didn't feel like I wanted to be a mom, felt exhausted & wanted a break from my child. Feeling guilt of wanting to go to the store by myself or have dinner with my girlfriends because society told me this was my #1 responsibility. Motherhood is a part of me, not all of me. It's a role I play along with many others & that's ok. Harlow's writing of what it's like to be a new mom, her description of situations gone bad & embarrassing circumstances hits home hard & real! A book that brought me utter joy with every word I listened to & reminded me that my feelings were valid back then & I still loved my children despite feeling all of that. My kids were and still are my world.
Noelle is a single mother, a successful literary agent, who decides to have a baby on her own because she hasn't found "the one." Life hasn't gone like she outlined for herself years ago. She feels all the feels of new motherhood & her friends are right there cheering her on, giving her support & great advice.
She literally runs into Grant Thomas, a hot pilot, & he gives her the shirt off his back (his uniform shirt) because baby Scarlett has made a mess of hers. Their attraction is fast & they fall hard. Noelle is feeling overwhelmed & discouraged & Grant.....GAH, there is not a more perfect man. He is everything. He listens to her, really listens, making little mental notes along the way & I haven't fallen this hard for a fictional man ever! Truth!🙌 He helps her with Scarlett, gives her time for herself & with her girlfriends. He's perfect & she's wondering where he's been all her life. He shows up time & time again for her & her baby but Noelle has the notion that she's missing something & things finally come to a head. She's wondering if she'll end up with a broken heart again or if their paths crossed for a reason because not everything always happens as planned.
CJ Bloom is astounding as Noelle, depicting the exhaustion, anxiety, & fear of being a new mom. She's emotional, funny, dramatic, & delightful. I can't say enough about her performance. She's an enchantress.
Connor Crais....well, suffice it to say, when he would say "How are my girls?" I melted like snow on a sunny day, sinking down like soft pudding.🥵 He turns the thermostat up & you'll be sweatin' from swooniness. He's absolutely perfect as the tender, protective, thoughtful & loving Grant.
Every woman needs to read this book. It reminds you that happiness isn't a destination, it's a choice. We are mothers but that's not ALL we are. The women before we were mothers still matters. We're gonna have curve balls thrown at us, but the way we react to them is what will make the difference in how we feel about our lives. The IF and WHEN is trivial, it's the WHO that truly makes us happy! Thanks for reminding me that Harlow!💕
Thanks to @homecookedbooks for providing the copy. All thoughts are my own, honest opinions.

Spice Details: Several Open Door Scenes
Summary: Though Noelle had a full life plan when she was a teenager, she has since discovered that life doesn't always go the way we want it to. So she decides to skip a few steps in her plan and become a mother. Life as a single mom was a little more challenging than she expected but Noelle was still pleased with the decision she made. One day, Noelle literally bumps into Mr. Right, Grant, a commercial pilot. Grant shows Noelle that he not only wants to be in her life, but also her daughter's as well. What happens when everything you planned is so different, yet so great?
Dani’s Thoughts: I have absolutely loved the Ladies Who Brunch series and I was really excited and intrigued to read Noelle's story. Noelle was such a fantastic character that even though she had a life plan, she learned that sometimes life throws curveballs and it matters in how we respond. I loved that she really wanted to be a mom and she made that a reality. Grant definitely gave Maddox Taylor (from Now's the Time) a run for his money in swooniest MMC in this series. From the first moment he met Noelle, he was completely captivated by mom and daughter and wanted to be a part of both of their lives. I loved that their first date was at the zoo with all 3 of them together. I loved this book so much and their relationship was so refreshing to see them communicating even through the difficult moments, even if it took a few days, because that's reality.
Connor Crais and C.J. Bloom did a great job of narrating!! They really brought Grant and Noelle to life for me with this audio. Highly suggest listening to the audio!!
