About This Audiobook

Kennedy Fox’s *Chasing Him* isn’t just another small-town romance—it’s a masterclass in slow-burn tension wrapped in the rugged charm of a family-run Texas B&B. John Bishop, the gruff, overworked single dad, is the kind of hero who scowls his way into your heart, while the heroine’s relentless optimism cracks his armor in ways that feel earned, not forced. The audiobook leans hard into its Western setting, with Vanessa Edwin and Aiden Snow delivering performances that make the Lone Star State’s heat and hospitality palpable. Snow’s gravelly, no-nonsense John contrasts perfectly with Edwin’s warmer, more expressive tone, creating a push-pull dynamic that’s as entertaining as it is steamy.

What sets this apart from the romance pack? The humor. Between John’s exasperated internal monologues (narrated with deadpan brilliance by Snow) and the chaotic antics of B&B guests—think overheard *ahem* activities and clueless tourists—the story balances heart and humor without tipping into slapstick. The dual POV works especially well in audio, letting listeners bask in both the frustration and the fluttery moments. If you’re tired of romance heroes who soften too quickly or heroines who exist just to fix him, this one’s for you. Just be warned: the slow burn is *slow*—but the payoff is worth the wait.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I’ll admit, I rolled my eyes at first. Another grumpy single dad? Another sunshine heroine determined to ‘heal’ him? But *Chasing Him* won me over by subverting expectations at every turn. Aiden Snow’s narration of John Bishop is a standout—he doesn’t just *sound* grumpy, he *embodies* the exhaustion of a man running on coffee, stubbornness, and the faintest ember of hope. His delivery of John’s sarcastic asides (“*Great. Another guest who thinks ‘rustic charm’ means ‘no indoor plumbing’*”) had me laughing out loud. Vanessa Edwin, meanwhile, brings a lively warmth to the heroine’s perspective, though I’ll dock half a point for her occasional over-enunciation of emotional beats—it’s romance, not a Shakespearean soliloquy. The story’s pacing is where opinions might divide. The first third is *deliberate*, with Kennedy Fox taking their time to establish the B&B’s quirky rhythm (including some truly cringe-worthy guest cameos) and John’s prickly dynamic with his daughter. I loved the attention to detail—like the way John’s impatience manifests in sharp inhales during conversations—but listeners craving immediate sparks might find themselves tapping their foot. That said, the chemistry *when it ignites* is electric, and the narrators sell it. The production quality is flawless, with seamless transitions between POVs and ambient touches (a creaking porch swing, distant cattle) that ground the setting without overpowering. My only real critique? The conflict in the final act feels a touch manufactured compared to the organic tension earlier. But by then, I was too invested in John’s grumpy-to-gooey arc to care much. If you love enemies-to-lovers with a side of small-town chaos—and narrators who *get* the assignment—this is a solid pick. Just don’t expect to speed through it; savor the simmer.
