5 Star review of Mad About Matt (A Red Maple Falls #1) by Theresa Paola Audio Review: Both author Theresa Paola and narrator Krista Nicely are new to me. I love stories about small towns and Red Maple Falls sounds like a great place to live. Shay Michaels left Red Maple Falls and her first love Matt Hayes, seventeen years ago with no plans to return. That is until she returns to town to open Sweet Dreams Bakery. Matt, well aware that she has returned to town is now the local sheriff and has been keeping an eye on her and the bakery. Neither Shay or Matt have ever forgotten the love they shared as teenagers. However if they are to take advantage of this second chance, then both will have to make peace with the past. The question is can they forgive the hurts of the past? I loved the story that Ms. Paola wove, the characters were well developed and I fell hard and fast for Matt. His overwhelming instinct to protect Shay was heartwarming. I didn’t really connect with the narrator, but that is just me, however the story was so good that I pushed through. I loved Matt’s family and cannot wait to read or listen to more.

Loved this story! Matt is the Sheriff of Maple Hills, and Shay has returned to open up a bakery. They had been school sweethearts who took different directions (some under duress). When they met up again, fireworks exploded as they struggled to forgive themselves and each other.

A good second chance romance set in a small town. Like the easy to read story, cute romance and chemistry between Matt & Shaye. Also like Matt's family, especially his grandfather and grandmother who are still very much in love. Looking forward to read the other books in the series
