About this listen

Award winning and best-selling author, Lydia Michaels, brings all the drama of rural, small-town romance to life in a second chance story of redemption that will pull at readers’ heartstrings.

Harrison Montgomery left Jasper Falls to escape his abusive father when he was only 17. Saving himself meant leaving those he loved behind.

Harrison was Mariella Mosconi’s first love, and when he ran away without even a goodbye, he stole her heart. Ten years later, when his father’s funeral brings him home, many unresolved emotions return.

Rekindled chemistry ignites into a passionate fling when two reunited lovers collide. Despite the entwined past these childhood sweethearts share, their present lives are worlds apart. Mariella’s just a small-town girl, and Harrison has become a big time, New York tycoon.

Could they have a future when he is still so haunted by a tragic past, or will he run again?

Side Squeeze is book six in the Jasper Falls series and is the second chance romance of Harrison Montgomery and Mariella Mosconi.
Harrison left Jasper Falls when he was only seventeen to escape his abusive father. However, leaving may have saved him from his father but he had to leave everyone he loved most behind without so much as a goodbye. Now, ten years later, and a successful big time, New York tycoon Harrison heads back to small-town Jasper Falls to help his sister with their father’s funeral arrangements and he comes face to face with the girl who stole his heart all those years ago. Mariella is all grown up and has womanly curves in all the right places and the chemistry is still there between them, will Harrison be able to break down her walls and claim her again or will he mess things up and bolt back to the big city again?
Mariella has never had any luck in the romance department. Her first love skipped town without so much as a goodbye and the last guy she was with, well, he started dating someone else unbeknown to her and got engaged to the other woman leaving the town to accuse her of being ‘the other woman’ and a ‘homewrecker.’ So, imagine her horror when she’s sworn off men and none other than her first love rocks back up into town throwing her plans in the air. Despite the fact they are hot for each other, Mariella has walls up as she feels she must protect her heart for fear he’ll leave again. Will Mariella throw caution to the wind and live in the moment or will she punish Harrison for the past that she doesn’t fully understand?
The fabulous Amber Battaglia narrates this audiobook solo and as always does an incredible job. Amber perfectly showcased Mariella’s strong, sassy, resilient sides and also her sweet, vulnerable, closed off, guarded sides. Amber’s performance of big city tycoon Harrison was fantastic, she captured his passionate, bossy, alpha sides as well as his vulnerabilities superbly. Plus, Amber has to tackle the gaggle of side characters that always comes with a trip to Jasper Falls. Amber, take a bow, you are one talented lady.
I loved this visit to Jasper Falls. I went through every emotion with this couple and wanted to bang their heads together at one stage, however, Harrison and Mariella had smoking chemistry, super-hot steamy times, and the perfect HEA that I’ve come to expect from Lydia Michaels, the queen of small-town romances.

A charming small town, second chance romance

Coming back to Jasper Falls and we are getting Harrison's story. We had briefly met him previously, knowing he had left after he could no longer take the abuse of his father. Now with his father's passing, he is back and not staying. Selling the hardware store and setting him free from his past is the goal. Mariella falls right back into step when Harrison arrives home. Her high school crush, these two have unresolved feelings they have to work through. And our story begins. I am in love with Lydia Michaels's small town romance series. This one in particular is like a companion to My Funny Valentine as we had some background of Harrison's family when we met Erin. Leaving Jasper Falls broke Mariella's heart, and she just isn't sure she can go through that again. And Harrison is finding out he cannot continue to live with the anger he carries anymore. It's a great story of second chances, and family. Visiting this town is like coming home, and I enjoy the relevant issues that Michaels compassionately writes with her romances. It's a wonderful story and series.

Amber Battaglia continues entertaining me with her amazing narrations. This one is not different. She is able to do both men and women and include all the feels. This book has a lot of emotion, and she had my heart completely invested with his performance.

Mariella & Harrison!

This beautifully written and beautifully told story did not just captivate my attention, but it tugged on my heartstrings for the entire book. Lydia Michaels is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style and way with words. The characters and storylines she creates are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are also complex and multi-layered. This is my first “Jasper Falls” book, I enjoyed without having read or listened to the earlier books of the series, though I put those books in my wishlist because I loved his one so much. I have listened to several of her McCullough Mountain books and some of those characters have cameos in this book and it was great to see them, like seeing an old friend and I am sure would be the same with the characters from the other books in this series too. This book is Mariella Mosconi and Harrison Montgomery’s story, the two have history, unresolved history, they were each other’s first love until Harrison up and left without saying a word. Ten years have passed and Harrison returns to Jasper Falls after his father dies, more to take care of business than to go to his funeral. Harrison did not have the best home life, and it has made him a damaged man. Harrison broke Mariella’s heart when he left her without an explanation all those years ago and seeing him again stirred up those old feelings, both good and bad. And after all those years, the chemistry between them still sizzles. But Mariella is smarter, and she knows he will leave her behind again. A tormented Harrison wants Mariella but knows he is not good for her and he does what he does best he runs. His sister, Erin, tries to convince him to stay, open his eyes to a future where they could be a family again, but he still struggles with his inner demons from his past. This is a wonderfully plotted second chance romance, the author put these characters thru the wringer and made them work for their happily ever after, but in the end it was so worth it. Lydia Michaels, thank you for another wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Lydia Micheals cast the perfect narrator to bring her character and story to life. Amber Battaglia is a wonderfully talented narrator and a versatile voice artist. She had a complete understanding of the characters she was portraying, gave each a voice that fit that character to a tee and sounded believable in every role she played. I loved how she took each role, ran with and made it her own. She was fabulous covering the roles of both the male and female characters, handled the back-and-forth dialogue with ease and switched roles effortlessly. She set the perfect tone for the story captured all the characters emotions and projected them into her performance and had you feeling every single one. Amber Battaglia is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to, her narration enhances an already wonderful story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

𝑆𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑆𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑒𝑧𝑒 is my first Lydia Michaels book and I will tell you right now, it will not be my last! It is a masterfully chiseled second chance romance filled with beautiful characters that steal your heart and a rollercoaster ride of a plot line. I fell hard for the characters from the beginning, quickly feeling at home in Jasper Falls.

The narration by Amber Battaglia was beautiful. She mastered both Mariella & Harrison’s characters, bringing them to life for me. I felt a connection to these wonderful characters from the first chapter, thanks to the narration.

This story is one filled with heartache and love, passion and friendships. It’s one that will most definitely tug your heart until the last chapter is reached. From start to finish, this is an unforgettable romance and I can’t wait to go back and read/listen to the others in this series!
