About this audiobook
I’m Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family’s curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense.
No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life.
Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was.
The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She’s the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I’ve ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can’t.
Because when we met, she didn’t need true love. She needed a best friend. And that’s what I’ve been to her… for five years.
But when Jocelyn meets a handsome stranger her first day working at Donner Bakery and she lets him buy her a dill pickle cupcake, I realize with ominous regret that I may have missed my window with my best friend.
If I can’t get her to see past our friendship, my new curse may be to watch the love of my life move on with someone else.
‘Baking Me Crazy’ is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Love at First Sight series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

She currently resides with her husband and their two sons in Michigan.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So entertaining and very well written. The voice over acting is great too! I recommend this trilogy. :)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Friends to lovers is definitely not my favourite trope but Levi and Joss constantly had me hooked.
The Buchanan curse means every man in the family knows when they've found the one. The issue is the Buchanan men seem to hold back when it comes to sharing their feelings early on. Then they have to deal with some issues that could have been missed. I really enjoyed Levi and Joss's romance, they had a strong foundation of friendship and it was a nice change for the FMC to be oblivious instead of the MMC.
Joss became immature at times when the situation called for a more mature reaction and Levi was certainly the one that dealt with conflict better. I thoroughly enjoyed Joss's disability and how her and Levi's romance didn't have any awkward moments because of Joss being self-conscious, they were just so comfortable around each other.
I haven't read any of the other books in the Green Valley world that Penny Reid created but I still thoroughly enjoyed the story. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Short, sassy and so funny! Friends to lovers romance with a twist.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great, feel-good romance! I’ve enjoyed all the Smartypants Romances...great narration in this!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the only Buchanan Curse story i love and liked ❤️❤️❤️ it was pure friendship and love ❤️❤️❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing spin off to the Winston brothers books by Penny Reid, good stuff!!!! Super funny and very cute
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a sweet romancestory. Very slow-burn, but in a good way.
And Joy, who doesn't love her?! I certainly do :) - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is such a cute story. I really enjoyed the dynamics between Jocelyn and Levi. Seeing how Joc handled everyday life with her disability was moving. She is such a strong character. She had moments of real freaks out and anger that were a little uncalled for but Levi knew her so well he knew how to handle it. Can I just say the voice for Levi ???? and to it that southern twang. Oh my word. It was a cute, easy romance. It wasnt full of drama or heartbroken but it also didnt feel like it dragged on. Im looking forward to the rest of the series.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I love the Pennyverse, and Chris is a great narrator. I did find this story a bit bland, and when the female narrator did the male voice... that was really distracting.

I loved this audiobook and the narration was great! I’ve been wanting to read/listen to some of the Smartypants Romances since I heard the news about them. This story blends well into Penny Reid’s world. Levi and Jocelyn are such a cute pair. Levi’s love and devotion to Jocelyn is just swoon worthy!!! I loved the appearances of my favourite Winston brother, Cletus.
This audiobook is a MUST listen. Baking Me Crazy by Karla Sorensen will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!1 person found this helpful
