Summary

Everyone in my small town thinks I’m the sweet one in the Bedd family, but after a year of financial drama on our farm and a lifetime of being in my hot brothers’ shadows, this kindergarten teacher needs to blow off some steam.

When I meet a sizzling hot reality show chef named Bacon, that steam quickly becomes an inferno and before I know it, my one-night-stand has me screaming “Yes, Chef!” all night long.

All I wanted was one day to escape my small-town existence, forget my troubles and live it up in the city.

Well, I got my wish.

You know what else I got?

Pregnant.

Now I have to face the unforgettable man I left behind.

He’s salty that I lied to him and left him while the sheets were still warm. I don’t blame him one bit, but the clock is ticking until my little pork belly finishes curing and I am determined to thaw his heart before that happens.

This is the fourth book in the Farm 2 Forking series, a small town romantic comedy. This is a multi-author series. I liked this small town romantic comedy. Bacon and Colleen's story is fun, sweet, passionate, engaging, and heartfelt. Alastair Haynesbridge & Erin Mallon did an excellent job bringing these characters, and this story to life. I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this series!

I know every time I delve into an Erin Mallon novel, I will be laughing and relating to her amazing character. She adds book 4 to this fun series and it's fabulous. Colleen is a tough cookie. With four brothers, she always feels a bit less than and gives attitude whenever she can. Meeting Bacon, the handsome reality show chef was exciting and fulfilling! Now she can't forget him! Bacon has been looking for the woman he was with that one night, but she didn't make it easy to find her. And when he did, he was in for a surprise! Coming to the small town is a bit of a culture shock but seeing her is all he wanted. Where does it lead? Colleen is such a great character! Competing with siblings is never easy, and her individuality is so endearing! Bacon is sweet and savory! He enthusiasm shines and makes him irresistible!

Alastair Haynesbridge and Erin Mallon continue their partnership in this series and boy do they bring it for this one! Spot on comedic timing, and the feels are so real! Each character comes in with the same voice from book to book making the listen feel like coming home. I loved this listen and look forward to more.

Bacon is delicious!

Hilarious, heartfelt small-town romcom! I just loved it!

The Farm 2 Forking series continues with book #4, Bringing Home the Bacon. This time, we get the fun, cute, and hilarious romance story of Colleen Bedd and reality TV chef Bacon. Colleen is a small-town kindergarten teacher. The only female sibling, her life has so far been on the sheltered side and she has always done what was expected of her. She also finds herself not connecting that well with friends and often has to cut them off because they seem to be using her only to get to her brothers. Needing some time for herself, she decides to go somewhere where she is unknown, so she takes a trip to the big city. Whilst there, she ends up as an audience member for the taping of a reality TV cooking show. Afterwards, she decides to further step out of her comfort zone and do something wild by flirting and propositioning one of the chefs from the show. Meanwhile, Bacon is living his best life and his dream as a chef. He ends up competing on a reality TV cooking show. When he is mildly propositioned by Collen, he is instantly attracted to her; sparks fly and they spend one night together. But when she leaves without a trace in the morning, can he find the gorgeous audience member he had a connection with? And can he find happiness with her?

This fun and hilarious, one-night stand, accidental pregnancy, small-town romance was just what I needed! I absolutely adored this book. I especially enjoyed how Collen and Bacon find their way to each other initially, and back to each other later. The connection was instant and hot 🥵 but I really enjoyed them slowly discovering the true love they had for each other, and building a life together. They were just so perfect for each other. It was also great seeing the characters from previous books and other side characters appear in this; Grandma Ethel remains one of the best and one of my favourite characters in this series. I’m definitely still enjoying this series and highly recommend picking this up if any of the tropes sound interesting to you.

Narrated by the author herself, Erin Mallon, and Alastair Haynesbridge. Mallon was excellent at portraying the caring, independent, and passionate woman that was Colleen. Whilst Haynesbridge was perfect at bringing forth the swoony, thoughtful, caring, and supportive nature of Bacon. I loved both of their voices for these characters. As always, they brought the characters in this series, and their stories to life!

4.5 Stars!

Bringing Home the Bacon by Erin Mallon can easily be read as a stand alone in the Farm 2 Forking series. The only other book I've read in the series was For Fork's Sake by Karen Grey, which was about Colleen's twin, and I didn't feel like I was missing information not having read the first two books.

Bringing Home the Bacon is a surprise, but not secret, pregnancy story. I like that there are unique characters and some silly situations, and I think this story would translate really well to audio.

Update: I listened to the audio version and decided to add a star to the rating. The audio version is narrated by Erin Mallon and Alastair Haynesbridge. They do a great job with the narration, especially with the teasing between the characters. It came across as more fun when it was performed.

I received a copy of the book at my request, and the opinions here are my own.

Great audio performances
