🎧audiobook…you had my at Teddy Hamilton!
I was not familiar with this series so I appreciate I could easily read The Seven Year Itch as a stand alone. I enjoyed the banter and the open door romantic exploration between Dakota and Calder. Enemies with benefits was a fun trope, though I’m not sure I needed the sex club situation.

Thank you NetGalley for access to this audiobook in exchange for this review!

⭐️: 5/5

Dakota is trying to get her groove back and the last person she wants to run into is Calder. Calder the person who ruin her house and but more. Now he’s here to see her life in ruins after her divorce. After being forced to share a palapa at destination wedding, he’s now her wingman. With some spicy coaching tensions seem to smooth over, well maybe it changed to a different kind of tension.

💕 Enemies to Lovers
🐈‍⬛ Cat Dad
💕 Only One Bed
🐈‍⬛ Rural Mountain Town
💕 Spicy Coaching

There is something about the men of Fletcher Mountain that just makes you melt. I’m living for the grumpy mountain men right now and this definitely can scratch that itch (pun intended). The chemistry and tension between these too was great. Seeing their relationship go from high angry tension to spicy tension was everything. I love when the FMC knocks the MMC on their butt and rearranges all their notions of what they are looking for. If you are looking for a fun feel good enemies to lovers this is it!

⭐️: 5/5

How can you go wrong with Teddy Hamilton. Hearing him as a cat dad was something I didn’t know I needed, but I did. The dynamics between him and Erin Mallon was fabulous. I could not have enjoyed it more, these two brought Calder and Dakota beautifully!

Was advised on July 10th that I would get an audiobook copy - went to download it on July 11, 2025. However, it had already been archived by author/publisher.

Calder and Dakota have a sweet twist on Enemies to Lovers. They have a deep history, and then thanks to a meddling niece, stir in forced proximity, just one bed, and a one night stand that leads to frenemies with benefits. Along the lives they both let they're guard down and find that they have always wanted.

This book was so much hotter than I was expecting! Whenever I see Teddy Hamilton is narrating, though, I should expect it!

I want to be friends with Everly because her devious mind is amazing and also can she set me up with a mountain man???

I loved the progression of the relationship between Calder and Dakota—there is a razor thin line between love and hate, and they teetered back and forth for most of the book. Also, her ex-husband? A horrible human being that’s for sure.

This book was an easy read (listen) and highly entertaining! The interiority of the characters was fun and had me laughing throughout the book.

Seven Year Itch is narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon. I have a little bit of bias because Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite male narrators and he did a fantastic job with this book. Calder is sarcastic and goofy at times which was portrayed perfectly, in my opinion. The female narrator, Erin, also did a good job at bringing Dakota to life but I disliked the inflections she put on some words. Her cadence was off for me and often took me out of the story.

This book is hilarious though! Book two in a series, Seven Year Itch is a perfect combination of funny and serious. Calder is a tattooed cat daddy and Dakota is a fiery, outspoken, and recently divorced best friend of Calder's sister in law. These two have been enemies for years which leads to plenty of arguments and some spicy moments between the two. There were some moments that felt annoying because of the constant back and forth but it did not deter me.

If you love banter, this is the book for you! Reading it was great but listening to it was even better! Seven Year Itch is available in print and audio now.

So I originally read this book and loved it, but went back for a listen as well once I was approved.

First off, I love a duet narration! And Teddy and Erin totally nail it. I have listened to them both in several other books and they never let me down.

The book is still hilarious and the actors really bring both the characters and the town to life. It honestly made me love this book even more.

Thank you to Harlequin Audio and NetGalley for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely LOVED this book and am obsessed with Calder and Dakota. It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve read a true “enemies to lovers” trope and Amy knocked it out of the park with this one. If you’ve read Nine Month Contract, you know you can expect witty banter, hilarious scenarios, and an overall fantastic time. I loved the sex positivity of this book and how these mountain men are absolute SIMPS for their women. I love the cameos from some familiar faces and all the Milkshake content. Truly, I cannot wait to read this again in preparation for book 3!

I don’t think this series is for me. I checked back to the first book and saw I only rated it 3.75 and with book 2, I DNFed the book at 30%. I just didn’t vibe with Dakota as an FMC and didn’t really feel any tension between her and Calder. I don’t think I’ll be continuing this series.

Thank you to NetGalley, Amy Daws, and Harlequin Audio for the advance listening copy in exchange for an honest review. But my opinions are my own (:

I knew this book would be spicy but I wasn’t prepared for how much... in the best way. Calder and Dakota have that “I shouldn’t be doing this but f*******ck” kind of tension that builds. The wedding chaos, the only-one-bed moment, the checklist, the slowly developing into something real. Chef’s kiss.

And the audiobook narration is absolutely phenomenal. Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon bring so much chemistry and personality to Calder and Dakota. The banter, the tension sizzles, the flirty tones, and it all just works. Fantastic 10/10 highly recommend audiobook

Perfect for anyone who loves:
•Enemies to lovers
•Grumpy mountain man
•Cats
•Mild to medium spice

Thank you to Net Galley, Amy Daws, and Harlequin Audio for this eALC! I was so excited to get the chance to listen to this, and really loved it!

The dual narrators in this book were so wonderful! Even the male/female narration and additional chapters for other characters worked so well and made this an enjoyable audiobook read! It made me especially happy to hear Teddy Hamilton’s voice for Calder…making him especially sexy 🤭

Dakota’s and Calder’s chemistry is SMOLDERING! This enemies to lovers is especially hot, with a rough around the edges dirty talking bad boy, scenes in a sex club, and forced proximity, it made the tension and banter between them extra spicy! This book is even better than the first one in the series, which I loved too! Amy Daws does such a good job of balancing witty humor and tension, while making sure the spice is verrrrry detailed, in the steamiest of ways 🔥

While they deny how much they want more from each other, seeing their connection build and blossom as they go through their “list” kept me so invested in them! It made the wait worth it and I understood why they both were so hesitant. When they both finally admit to each other they want no one else, my heart leaped with joy. They challenge each other and also support each other in the best way. The two epilogues made sure to help show their HEA and it fit them so well. I absolutely love this book and can’t wait for the next one!

And I gotta agree with Calder: “true love is my kink”. 🥰

I enjoyed this story soooooo much more than 9 month contract. I love the banter between the characters and the narrators did such a great job with it. Teddy Hamilton is the best!!! I giggled so much listening to these 2 go back and forth. The way she writes characters inner voices is so great. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!!

I loved this so much more than 9 month contract. This series continues to get better and better. I love the banter between the characters and the narrators did such a great job with it. I giggled so much listening to these 2 go back and forth. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!!

Thank you NetGalley for approving me for this ARC audio!
This was my first Amy Daws book and I LOVED it!
I didn't even realize it was the second book in this series!
The banter between these two was so good! I found myself cackling and blushing on several parts!
A must listen! The narrators were amazing!

Damn. That was a great book. The banter, the spice, the plot. Soooo good. This was my first Amy Daws and now I’m going to have to go back and get them all to catch up!! If you like a funny and spicy romance this is it!!

The narrators were so amazing. Perfect for the story.
I went back and read the first in this series because this was so good!

Thank You NetGalley and Harlequin Audio for the Early Listening Copy of Seven Year Itch book two in the Mountain Men Matchmaker series. Teddy Hamilton was the perfect voice for Caler and Erin Mallon did a great job bringing Christa to life.

Once again more handy work from the matchmaker Everly! When Calder opens his dating profiles to find a date for his brothers wedding he comes across this gem on his profile:

Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.

Calder and Dakota are put together in the same room during Christa and Wyatts destination wedding...yes there is only one bed. Everly has the entire family in on the rouse and its perfection. He's the town fuckboy and she is recently divorce from the douchebag bartender with a horrible past with Calder who renovated her house.

This story like is about trust, confidence and regaining ones power. and yes love of the cat!

SO looking forward to Luke's book we know for sure Everly has her hands in something ending the book with saying he will be married by the end of the year....giving marriage of convenience vibes.

Not gonna lie. I love a mountain man and I’m grateful for the opportunity to listen through NetGalley. Unfortunately I was rather disappointed in the way they treated each other. I got it when they were “enemies” but it never changed when they became lovers and I ended up wishing he would move on to someone else. I get he did things wrong and they have both been through a lot but we had a guy trying to be better for a girl and a girl pretty much disqualifying him at every turn. Just because she stood up to his family for him doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to continue to treat him the way she does. I was really hoping for the character growth to be on both sides and not just his.

I received a copy of this for my honest review

I absolutely love Amy Dawes and these Fletcher men!

Our MMC is the middle child of the Fletcher brothers, a known playboy who doesn't want anything serious. but when his dating app profile gets hacked, his easy stream of women is interrupted. So instead of bringing a plus one to his brother's wedding he is flying solo. This wouldn't so bad if his sister in laws best friend, who he just rescued from a s*x club is also going solo, and now stuck in a one room, one bed situation. Our FMC has finalized her divorce, and wants to reclaim herself, that's why she was at the club. But she still wants more - and asking the incredibly handsome, arrogant mountain man who she hates, to help her on her journey, wasn't on her BINGO card.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin/Canary for my ALC of this book!

This was such a fun book! Calder and Dakota are great characters and I enjoyed their dynamic! The audiobook is amazing! I recommend listening to it!

This book scratches the contemporary romance itch. Loved the characters, loved the cat, loved everything about this book. Duet narration was perfection.
