My Not So Wicked Ex-Fiancé

My Not So Wicked Series, Book 2

From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Peel comes a toe-curling second chance romance.

He rocked her world. She wrecked his. Now their worlds are colliding again.

Expensive schools and etiquette classes never prepared Shelby Duchane for Ryder Prescott. He taught her more about life in his hay field classroom beneath a blanket of stars than anyone. Under that Georgia sky, she pledged forever to the farm boy with soul-melting chocolate brown eyes, even though it meant forfeiting her large inheritance. She couldn't wait to clip coupons and buy clothes off the sales rack until death do they part. But then she receives some photos of her intended with someone she had not intended. Brokenhearted, Shelby flees her hometown for Colorado without bothering to say goodbye to her cheating ex-fiancé.

A year later and wiser, Shelby's doing her best to move on while running her boutique in Carrington Cove, when Ryder shows up and challenges all she thought she knew. Perhaps he wasn't the wicked ex-fiancé she believed him to be after all. But will Ryder be able to swallow his pride enough to see why she was so persuaded? Will he realize before it's too late that the only way to heal his own broken heart is to mend Shelby's?

Modern day persuasion!

Jennifer Peel does it again! I enjoyed it all throughout! Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen novel so this was a treat! Stephanie of course did an amazing job narrating it!

Easy Listen

Jennifer Peel’s novels are easy to listen to, have a great storyline and keep me wanting to listen to more.

Soooo Good!

Great story! It made me laugh cry and made me feel heartbreak. I truly could not stop listening

A Loveable Southern Belle Love Story

I don't typically like solo narrators but this was wonderful and the narrator did a great job doing multiple voices. The story line was great, even with the miscommunication. I love the HEA and I'm genuinely happy for every character (except the meanies 😝)

Holy mother of miscommunication trope

I tried my hardest, but the miscommunication was miscommunicationing like never before. I don't wanna ruin the rating either 🫣
