It took way more time, tears, and tension headaches then I ever could have dreamed of, but the HANDS DOWN audiobook is finally live! (And it made it to #64 on the Audible charts in the first day!) Narrated by Callie Dalton and Chris Brinkley, I absolutely couldn’t be happier with them as Bianca and Zac. I hope you all enjoy Little Texas and Big Texas’s story on audio!

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack". Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.) She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold. Waltzing out of Zac Travis’s life should be easy. Just as easy as he walked out of hers.

Wonderful post! A dining table set is truly the centerpiece of a dining room. I love that you highlighted the need for the right size and seating arrangement. Materials like wood or glass really impact the room’s feel. Practical and stylish options make family meals more enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!
I loved reading about how this story came to life in audio form — it’s such a powerful way to experience emotions differently. I often notice that what makes a moment truly memorable isn’t just the words, but the tone, pacing, and pauses that make everything feel alive. That’s exactly how fashion works for me too — it’s not only about what you wear but how you carry it. I’ve recently been drawn to classic dresses, the kind that tell a quiet story through timeless silhouettes and thoughtful details, like the ones from Classic Six. They capture that same effortless, enduring beauty that great storytelling has.
I’ve been waiting for this audio release—finally got to listen, and it pulled me right back into the story. There’s something so special about hearing it come to life like that. While I was listening, I realized how much I love pairing those cozy book moments with things that feel meaningful. I’ve been wearing my ring from Casual Carats nonstop lately—it’s stylish, lightweight, and feels personal without being flashy. Little touches like that make my everyday feel more put together.
I've read the book a few times and am listening to it now. I LOVE IT! I would love to have a chance to read Zac's version if Mariana ever writes it!
