About this listen
These former friends might be faking their engagement, but revealed crushes prove there might not be anything fictional about their arrangement.
In college, I often saw Judd Sylver in the library. He was a cool, broody type of guy who reminded me of a deeply tortured soul who might write poetry. He was very different from the boy I met in third grade on National Make a New Friend Day when I passed him a note, asking if he wanted to be my new friend: Check yes or no. (I’m a bit obsessed with calendar days). He was also vastly different from the young man who stood me up after I asked him to his prom.
Twenty years later, I can let bygones be bygones, especially when he rescues me from a bad date.Then I witness him breaking up with his girlfriend, which resulted in a sticky coffee drink on his chiseled cheeks and ice cubes on his fine-fitting jeans.
I offered him a napkin.Hey, once a friend, always a friend, right? *insert sarcasm*
However, Judd takes us to the next level at my mother’s garden party, where a misunderstanding occurs with a teeny tiny slip of the tongue and a precious ring on my finger.
And suddenly, I’m Judd’s fiancée. Fake or not, things are about to get a little too real with my old friend.

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.

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

From New York Times & USA Today Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a steamy new romance novel. The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. One that seemed like a good idea at the time. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed. There were some rules though. Lots of them actually. Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal.

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.

I can still pinpoint the exact second when my life became two truths and a lie. You don't forget delivering a mountain of fresh-baked sweets to a man like Dexter Rory. I never wanted to see his scowling, bossy, brutally godlike face again, no matter how well he tipped. If you told me I'd wind up wearing his ring, I would've died laughing. But here I am, trying to cling to my sanity while I confront the undeniable.

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

At least…that’s what she keeps telling herself.

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.

Except....It turns out, he’s Denver Gilchrist, lead singer of the Road Kings, the legendary band that broke up five years ago. How was I supposed to know I was sleeping with a genius rock god? I’m just a piano teacher who plays jazz on Thursday nights. I have a happy, single life with my cat. I don’t need Denver’s brand of chaos. But now, I’m addicted. And so is he.

Story
Two years ago, I had the hottest night of my life with a woman who didn’t want to tell me her name—and in a tequila-fueled fever dream, I agreed. She was funny, sexy, and after I got past her brittle shell, secretly very sweet. In the morning, she was gone. I’ve looked for her in every city I’ve played in since. That night ruined me for anyone else, but the woman I only know as “Jersey Girl” never showed up at another game. Not until I skate onto brand new ice as part of the NHL’s latest team. And there she is, in the stands at our season opening game. Very carefully not looking at me.

Great addition to the series
It was great being back in Sterling Falls and I couldn’t wait to read Genie Webster and Judd Sylver’s friends to lovers story.
I love L. B. Dunbar writing style as her characters are engaging and so easy to relate to.
From the first chapter, I was invested in the story. This is a beautifully written, witty, emotional story that ticked all the boxes for me.
There are equal amounts of passion, romance, and some angst in this story which had me tearing up and smiling, sometimes at the same time.
Their journey was not without its ups and downs, but it was worth it in the end.
Narrated by Ryan West and Erin Mallon who did a brilliant job in their narration. They brought all the drama, passion and romance out . Their performances did justice to the wonderful story and the characters created.

Yummy
Sterling Fight is a grump/sunshine second chance romance. I like this book a lot, I like that Judd is so die hard for Genie and she brightens up his life.
This is the Sterling Falls series book 5. I like that this a long series and we get to hear about the past characters. I like that the family has each others back and that accepted Genie so easily. I really like the epilogue, it was so awesome. This book has plenty of steamy moments, rabbits have nothing
Ryan West & Erin Mallon were absolutely fantastic with this book. ZI really like this pair together, they seem to compliment each other.

Oh my heart!
Erin Mallon and Ryan West were dreamy casting for Genie and Judd! The queen of romcom was amazing as the vivacious, compassionate, and adorkable Genie. Ryan’s portrayal of the angsty, romantic AF, dirty-talking boxer was everything. These two ripped my heart out and melted it back together with their phenomenal performances of this wonderful love story.

Narration -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sterling Fight is book #5 in the Sterling Falls series. I was so happy to get Judd's story as he has been an enigma to me in each book so far. Judd and Genie (Virginia) were friends in school, but a bad prom night drives a wedge between them. Fast forward a couple of decades and Genie is back in Sterling Falls for a visit to her uber-controlling and condescending mother. A chance encounter has them fake engaged, but Judd knows he only has a short amount of time to make her fall in love with him for real. Ms. Dunbar really brought all the goodies to this story (small-town, second chance, enemies-to-lovers, close proximity, fake engagement, steamy smexy times, he falls first). This was my favorite of the series, hands-down! It's a standalone, but you do NOT want to miss this series.
The narration of Ryan West and Erin Mallon was very impressive! Ryan West isn't a new narrator for me, but I don't hear him much in my favorite genre of audiobooks. Wow! He is so versatile! And did he deliver Judd? Yes, yes he did. Exactly as I have imagined him. Erin Mallon is narrator royalty, so we always know she is going to deliver greatness. Loved these two together. 5/5 stars!

There's Healing in Love
Wow! This is another wonderfully written book in the Sterling Falls series. I literally couldn't stop listening once I started. Erin Mallon and Ryan West nailed their performance. I could truly feel all the emotions of Judd and Genie. Judd and Genie reconnect after over 20 years apart and realize nothing from their youth was as it seemed. So many missed chances and hurts have these two doing a lot of second guessing. I love how they build a friendship that turns to something so deep and meaningful. These two have a lot of family baggage but find strength in each other and their bond. What a journey to love these two have had only to realize it was always them. This book is full of drama, emotional depth and heat. Love catching up with the Sylver family and friends. Truly a fantastic book and series I highly recommend.
I was sent a free audiobook from HCB and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Great Series
Judd and Genie have known each other since they were 10 and 8. He never acted on his feelings and the one time he was going to was interrupted. I liked how she asked in notes to check yes or no. She's back in town and things happen and he tells her mother that they're engaged. He has ten days to convince her to stay. Will things work out this time? Listening to Ryan West and Erin Mallon bring Judd and Genie to life was wonderful. I'm looking forward to the next sibling's story.

❤️ And now it’s Judd’s turn…
Story 4.5 ⭐️s
Narration: 4 ⭐️s
To say I’ve been eagerly anticipating Judd Sylver’s story is an understatement. I’ve been on tenterhooks waiting for this one, and now that it’s here all I can say is well done Ms Dunbar! And despite some trope overlap with past books and undercooked external conflict, the way Judd and Genie’s story unfolded was a joy to me.
I loved that this book’s plot allowed the MCs so much time together. There was all this wonderful space for them to be one-to-one and to renew their connection. While there is a lot of steam between Judd and Genie, their intimacy never felt rushed or overdone. And though there are shades of second chance here, it felt different from Knox and Halle, because unlike them, Genie and Judd never truly got their first chance. There’s also some fun overlap with the fake fiancé trope that added humor and angst, which I was surprised to find worked for me. There’s lighthearted banter, but also this exploration of underlying grief brought on by the loss of a parent. Both Judd and Genie are dealing with their own version of it, and the unfolding is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Five books in, we already know that the Sylver clan had it rough growing up, and each story reveals more devastating details to the picture of their past. The series began and it was a blurry family portrait, but each story has made each individual Sylver sibling clearer, along with the whole.
The secondary cast of the Sylver clan are still wonderful and my love for them, and their family dynamic, only grows. I thought there were some great scenes of dinners and the family coming together to support Judd (and Genie!). It’s just a family portrait I love returning to.
With book 5, the weaker elements boil down to some lackluster external conflicts, in this case with Judd’s obnoxious ex-girlfriend, Heather, and Genie’s self-centered mother. Both started out fine, but by the time the story wrapped up, those tensions kind of fell away. Ultimately, I was almost grateful for the brushing aside of those external factors, because it left room for such a tight focus on Judd and Genie building their connection.
The audiobook was very good. Erin Mallon is her usual best, and turns in a wonderful performance as Genie. This is a character with a charming blend of heart, vulnerability, and quirks, and there are few narrators who portray that blend as well as Mallon. Ryan West as Judd was also good. While I found his portrayal less engaging than Mallon, he still fit the bill for the brooding but tender Judd very well. Together the narrators make the audio well worth a listen.
All told, SF is an enjoyable story of love and reconnection, as well as another wonderful addition to Dunbar’s Sterling Falls series. Again, I’m looking forward to the next while at the same time being sad that there are not many more Sylver siblings to go!
I received an ALC copy of the audiobook via Home Cooked Books and read via KU. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Took the top spot as one of my favorite audiobooks
L.B. Dunbar is an auto read author for me because she writes such relatable stories with the swooniest, most vulnerable men that just need someone to love them proper. I love that she writes later in life romance that I can relate to on a more personal level.
I have loved, and I mean loved the entire Sterling Falls series, but Judd & Genie just became my favorite couple of the group. It may be because I read the first four books and this was my first audiobook of the series, because let's be honest, audiobooks just hit different, and Ryan West and Erin Mallon were phenomenal as Judd and Genie. They delivered the emotions, the angst, and all the love that these characters had inside them. I genuinely felt like I was sitting in a room listening to Judd and Genie tell me their love story.
Judd and Genie were both carrying scars from the past when they reconnected, and even though Judd knew from the moment he laid eyes on her after all those years that she was going to be his, Genie was much more hesitant to let them be anything more than a fling. Some scars run deeper than others. The genuine friendship and connection these two had could be felt deep in your soul. The love and passion was read with such vulnerability that you will feel it to your core.
When they both started to let their walls down they fell hard and fast and, even though they were still working through their individual turmoil, it was clear to both of them that they only future that existed was them together. The epilogues made my heart explode with happiness and I felt like I was celebrating my friends HEA. They truly got everything their hearts desired.
Bravo on an incredible audiobook. An absolute must listen.

4.5 Captivating Stars!
I really enjoyed this captivating and emotional romance. This is a beautiful and touching story of heartbreak, and second chances. Genie and Judd were friends in grade school that started to grow into more. But Judd suddenly disappeared when they were to go on their first date, breaking her heart. Now years later, Genie is visiting her mother in Sterling Falls and she runs into Judd. Genie needs a date for a party and Judd steps up, willing to do whatever it takes to help, and be with Genie. His excitement leads to an announcement that they are engaged, surprising them both. But Genie goes along with it, because she has never forgotten this sweet man. Genie has always been the one who got away, and Judd can't stop himself from revealing the secret depths of his feeling for her. I loved Genie and Judd's journey back to each other. They are two flawed people with emotional scars who help each other face their heartache, and build strength to heal. It wasn't easy as they stumbled along the way, but found joy, and learned to live and love again. Genie and Judd are smart, sensitive, and charming, and their strength to overcome their anguish was extraordinary.
I always enjoy listening to Ryan West and Erin Mallon's narration. They did an amazing job bringing this heartwarming and sizzling story to life, immersing me in their world, and making this a captivating listen.
