On Borrowed Time

Blossom Peak, Book 2

By: Harlow James

Narrated by: Connor Crais, Vanessa Edwin

Being a nanny for a newly single dad wasn’t the job I applied for when I decided to lick my wounds in Blossom Peak.

But showing Henley Clark my bare backside wasn’t in my plans either.

When the pursuit of my dream career seemed unattainable, instead of going home and proving my parents right, I made a detour to the small mountain town I remember visiting as a kid.

I just wanted a waitressing job to make some extra money while I figured out my next steps.

But then the lumberjack of an owner begged me to help him with his three month-old daughter that he just found out existed, and I couldn’t resist his plea.

Or his massive physique—the one I saw every detail of when he appeared shirtless in front of me three times in the first week.

The problem with living together though is there’s little space, especially when my boss is so closed off that he’s like a nut I want to crack open.

And when I do, he steals the breath from my lungs—and reignites my creativity as well.

But I gave myself a deadline to figure out what’s next.

Nowhere in that plan though did I account for falling for Henley Clark.

Turns out the heart doesn’t care, even when you’re on borrowed time.

Just yes!!!

Harlow James is amazing! I am absolutely loving this series. She has written such a fantastic, heartfelt story for Elodie and Henley. I’m a big fan of single-dad romances, and this one was no exception—it was tender, emotional, and completely swoon-worthy. My heart was so full after finishing this book, and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!💜💙

“She’s the sunshine pulling the darkness from my soul.”

I absolutely loved this story. Elodie and Remy are completely adorable together, and Henley's growth was just beautiful. The narration was also top-tier. I will never get tired of listening to Daddy Connor, he nails it every single time. And Vanessa Edwin did a great job as Elodie as well.

I really enjoyed how both characters grew and found their way. Even though one could say he didn't completely do it for the right reasons, I loved the fact that Henley didn't ask Elodie to stay, and I also loved how she found a way to get both her dream of working in the music industry and the family she fell in love with.

Quote: “Everything with this girl is tilting my world on its axis, and even though I feel completely off balance, I feel like I’m learning a new way to stay upright too—the one that involves being able to lean on someone and trust them completely.”

Great series

On borrowed time is book two in the Blossom Peak series. It follows Elodie and Henley! I really enjoyed this one! Harlow James never disappoints! Elodie and Henley were everything and more! Elodie came into Henley’s life at the perfect time! She was so amazing with Remy and Henley was a goner seeing Elodie with his daughter.

Henley’s past broke my heart but it definitely makes sense with how he was with everyone and especially when it came to relationship. It was so nice to see him finally open up to Elodie!

Their friend group was amazing! They all cared for each other and it was so nice to see all the support they had for each other especially the guys! You don’t see guys seek therapy much and that was nice to hear! The girls taking in Elodie so quickly was so beautiful to see!

The audiobook was narrated in duet form by Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais. These two were the absolute perfect choice for Elodie and Henley! Vanessa had definitely made her way to my list of favorite narrators! You can never go wrong with Connor! I definitely recommend this audiobook!

Elodie & Henley

This heart-warming, single parent, sexy, emotional, and swoon-worthy love story will take you on an unforgettable adventure that is sure to leave you beyond happy and your heart full. I LOVED Elodie & Henley. On Borrowed Time is hopeful, heartbreaking and uplifting. It has ALL the feels and more to make one amazing story.
Vanessa Edwin & Connor Crais are remarkable bringing the characters to life. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles giving us all of the emotions with the perfect inflections. I HIGHLY recommend that you read the book and if you like audiobooks, add this one to your wishlist!! You won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful Story and Incredible Narration!

Blossom Peak is the place to be for small town romance lovers. Henley & Elodie, and their sweet baby bear will have your heart bursting with love.
Henley's emotional scars run deep from his childhood, and shaped him into a grumpy perpetual bachelor, or so he thought. From the moment Remy came into his life this man was determined to do and be better than he ever got as a child. He had so much love to give, but didn't fully comprehend that he could have and deserved more.
When Remy and Elodie came into his life he truly dug deep and not only started his healing journey, but gave Elodie the confidence, love and support she needed to chase her dreams and become her best self. The growth these two went through individually and together was so beautifully written. Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin were remarkable as Henley & Elodie. The emotions they exuded were felt through every chapter. They delivered on every aspect of this story. I listened to the audiobook twice if that tells you anything.
I cannot wait for our next trip to Blossom Peak with this found family of characters that I want more and more of. Harlow James continues to amaze me with her phenomenal stories and loving characters.
