About this listen
AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Star-crossed lovers learn that practicing romance leads to the perfect happy ending in this steamy reimagining of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
Since heartbreak entered the scene, Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic, has sworn off love. But when she’s presented with the chance to revisit romance—purely for practice—with the gorgeous, off-limits guy she keeps serendipitously running into, it feels like a sign from the universe.
Quiet, shy Will Orsino knows happily-ever-after isn’t on his horizon. Problem is, for the sake of the family business, marriage is. Resigned to the inevitable, but with no confidence he can woo a wife, he can hardly say no when fate hands him the alluring, unattainable woman he keeps crossing paths with, offering to help him learn the ropes of romance.
Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they’re the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.

Story
Jamie Westenberg and Bea Wilmot have nothing in common except a meet-disaster and the mutual understanding that they couldn't be more wrong for each other. But when the people closest to them play Cupid and trick them into going on a date, Jamie and Bea realize they have something else in common after all—an undeniable need for revenge. Soon their plan is in place: Fake date obnoxiously and convince the meddlers they’re madly in love. Then, break up spectacularly and dash everyone's hopes, putting an end to the matchmaking madness once and for all.

Story
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

Story
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.

All Evie Cruz wants for Christmas is a nap. And maybe some ornaments for her naked Christmas tree. And while she’s making a list, she wouldn’t mind unwrapping her sexy upstairs neighbor like a present. Luckily, the building’s Santa-themed party and a surprise sprig of mistletoe give her just the opening she needs to make all her wishes come true.

When Everleigh Dangerfield’s baking disaster necessitates a call to 911, firefighter Griffin Brantley douses the flames in the kitchen, but the ones he stokes in Everleigh are an entirely different story. Unfortunately, Everleigh’s only visiting and doesn’t do casual hookups, no matter how smoldering the temptation. But Everleigh’s holiday mishaps have just begun. And Griffin is seemingly always on call. If Everleigh is game for a change of plans, he can give her the merriest Christmas of her life.

Story
Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Story
With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light. She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.

What the critics say
“Once Smitten, Twice Shy perfectly encapsulates everything I adore about Chloe’s writing. It’s witty, smart, thoughtful, and tender in turn with some deliciously fiery steam mixed in to boot. Anyone with a pulse will fall madly for Jules' and Will’s love story.”—Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out On a Limb
“Chloe Liese once again shows that she is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice, viewpoint, and characters are distinct, intentional, and hopeful. Will and Jules are everything I want in a romance. Their love story is big-hearted, funny, gentle, and, of course, steaming hot. These two are what each other’s hearts were missing, and it was a joy to tag along as they stumbled toward their happily ever after. I’ll be holding them in my heart for a very long time."—Lyla Sage, New York Times bestselling author of Done and Dusted
"I’m such a fan of Chloe’s books and Once Smitten, Twice Shy is no exception. Juliet and Will have a sweet, electrifying chemistry that leaps right off the page. A satisfying conclusion to the Wilmot Sisters series!"—Kristina Forest, USA Today bestselling author of The Love Lyric

Book: Twice Smitten, Once Shy
Author: Chloe Liese
Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I loved this book so so so much!
I was really looking forward to this sisters story after what she went through in book one. Throw in some fake dating/relationship experiments .. I was sold.
There was also that forbidden aspect since the MMC was friends with someone who is part of their found family!
You get:
• Contemporary Romance
• Neurodivergent Characters
• Vacation Meet
• Forced Proximity
• Love After Toxic Relationship
• Fake Dating
• Forbidden Romance
I highly recommend this whole series & can't wait to read more by her! Available on ebook, paperback, and audiobook.
