By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Stephanie Németh-Parker, Chris Brinkley

USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa brings an enemies-to-lovers romance where the billionaire grump can’t help but fall for Ms. Sunshine.

I never thought I’d be the proud owner of a quaint small-town bookstore, but life has a funny way of surprising us. With my virtual BFF’s encouragement to seize the day and follow my heart.

I say goodbye to my corporate job and say hello to my new adventure.

Until I meet the town’s grumpy billionaire, Huxley Spearman.

He’s every woman’s dream.

Tall, devastatingly handsome…but annoyingly arrogant. And if making a new enemy isn’t enough, there’s more: My long-lost mother might be alive.

This bookstore is the money pit.

My checking account is in shambles.

My online friend wants to be more than my virtual crush.

And, somehow, I‘m falling for two different men. Can love truly grow from a virtual connection? Or will a rough-around-the-edges man steal my heart?

This is a heartwarming tale of love, second chances, and a twist of the unexpected. In this spiritual successor to You Got Mail and Pillow Talk.

Claudia Burgoa knows how to perfectly draw out her characters' HEA!

Huxley and Enid are on line gaming buddies who both have feelings for each other. Unbeknownst to them both, they are about to drop into each others real life, and the sparks do fly!

Hate to love, small town romance in the Paradise Bay world that I love so much. This is a cute updated twist of You've Got Mail!

Claudia creates entire worlds I want to be a part of!

Narration by the uber talented Chris Brinkley and Stephanie Nemeth Parker.

Loved Enid and Huxley!

Swoon! Meant for Me by Claudia Burgoa was a feel-good-make-your-heart-so-happy romance that had me grinning and swooning over Huxley and Enid from start to finish. This book gave off all the "You've Got Mail" along with second-chance vibes, and I loved the journey these two took to finally find their very own HEA. This is book 6 in Claudia's Paradise Bay Billionaire Brothers series but could be listened to as a stand-alone.

Chris Brinkley and Stephanie Nemeth Parker narrate this audiobook, and this is the first time I've heard these two paired together. Chris was downright swoony portraying the broody, introverted Huxley. Chris's deep crooning tone captured Huxley's grumpy then charismatic persona perfectly. Stephanie added a soft vulnerability to her tone in her performance of Enid, who was on her own mission to discover the truths about her past and start fresh in Paradise Bay. Plus, both narrators brought the heat with Enid and Huxley's undeniable attraction!

Overall, I loved this book. If you are a fan of an enemies-to-lovers romance with a hot grumpy billionaire, a heroine who inherits a bookstore, a small town, fish out of the water, rivals who allies, front yard spicy times, a love story happening online and in real life, secret identities, family history, and a HEA that was definitely meant to be, then you will love Enid and Huxley's story. I always look forward to more from Claudia Burgoa.

A stellar listen

Meant for Me came at just the right time for me with its wit and humor. Of course, there's plenty of emotion too, but if you're familiar with Claudia Burgoa, you already know how well she does what she does. This one takes us back to Paradise Bay for Huxley and Enid, and I absolutely love this pair. The blurb sums it up pretty well with the word heartwarming. I don't want to get too far into the whys and hows, but this one definitely warms the heart. Huxley and Enid have an almost enemies-to-lovers romance, at least in the beginning, but they don't stay enemies for long. He does drive Enid to distraction, which makes for some fun and sometimes sexy scenes. We also get to visit with some of the Spearman family, which is always nice. This is one of my favorite book families, so I always enjoy catching up with them.
What it all comes down to is Meant for Me is a thoroughly charming romance with Claudia Burgoa's talent for well-timed wit mixed with feels. In the case of this one, if you enjoyed "You've Got Mail," I'd recommend giving Huxley and Enid's romance a shot. Honestly, I'd recommend it with or without the reference to a fun and entertaining RomCom.
And how do you make an already excellent story even better? Put it in the ever-capable hands of Stephanie Németh-Parker and Chris Brinkley for the narration. I was already familiar with both narrators, so I knew I'd enjoy the listen, which I certainly did. From the humor to the emotion of the story, Stephanie Németh-Parker and Chris Brinkley capture all of it. I'd already read the book, so I knew what was going to happen, yet these two made it feel fresh and new. A stellar listen of an equally stellar story.

Great read

Loved the story. Lots of twist and turns. Page turner for sure. Huxley snd Enid are great together.

Enjoyable story

I enjoyed this story. Enid finds out she had a grandmother who left her a cottage and bookstore and decides to make her dream of owning a business come true…but they are in need of a lot of work. Huxley had paid for half the bookstore prior to Enid’s grandmother passing away, so he wants to buy the rest. Enjoyed meeting the Spearman family and look forward to more of this series.
