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.

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.

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.

Great Story!

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.

Small town, friends to lovers, pregnancy!

So so so happy to be back in Vermont. I adored this second chance and even felt a type of way about Rory. Can’t wait for the next one I can see coming!

Adorable!
