About this listen
"Tara Sivec delivers another amazing book with The Simple Life! This is romcom at its finest!" (FMR Book Grind)
Brooklyn Manning thought her life was perfect in every way, until it crumbled down around her and turned into a dumpster fire. With her pride wounded and her tail tucked between her legs, she leaves New York and goes back to her tiny hometown of White Timber, Montana.
No more 24-hour taco trucks, no more shopping at the best designer stores within walking distance, no more giving taxi drivers the finger when they angrily honk at her. She didn’t think it could get any worse. But then Clint Hastings walked into the room and insulted her.
Her arch nemesis from high school is no longer a nerdy computer whiz, masturbating to pictures in PC World magazine in his free time (allegedly). He’s grown up to be a hot-as-hell cowboy, and she has no other choice but to be a smart ass right back to him. After all, it’s what they do. It’s what they’ve always done, and 12 years apart hasn’t changed anything.
Only this time, getting under each other’s skin is a hell of a lot more fun than it used to be.

Overall good
I have now listened to all of this series & as much as I have a laugh at all of them, this is probably my least favourite. I think I like the chemistry of the characters in the other books easier to enjoy. I do highly recommend the other books in this series if you love ridiculous romances (Otterly Scorched would be my favourite).

I found this book extremely cheesy, but given the genre, I can't say it wasn't expected.
What was lacking, however, was character consistency, a probable storyline and characters who act their own age. The romanced couple spend the majority of the story insulting each other, and while I fully understand the premise of this, it does come across tired and very much like teenagers. I would have preferred to have a few mature characteristics thrown in, considering they're both over thirty.
Then there's the narration.
The female narration is a typical American It-Girl's voice, which is understandable given the character. However it is incredibly annoying.
The male narration is the worst. By far. Actually I want to burn my ears a little after this. He sounds like a stripper cowboy, which yes, probably does reflect the character well. The biggest annoyance though, is his pace. The man rushes through his every sentence like he's had six coffees right before. He's too fast, too hyped up, always basically yelling his internal monologue (and I do mean ALWAYS) and then when he finally does take a breath to play his daughters or similar, his 'female' voice is insulting at bare minimum.
I found the storyline lacking in substance - and I KNOW this is not a substantial genre of book - but I really did find it very bland.
There are better books out there in this genre and personally I wouldn't bother with this one.
