I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love With You

Dakota has spent years cycling through disappointing dates before a nudge from her friends leads her to expand her dating app search. In New York City, she matches with Jack, a guarded NYPD detective who insists she's not built for relationships. What begins as a low-stakes experiment in connection quickly becomes something neither woman anticipated, as genuine warmth collides with emotional armor. Harper Bliss keeps the tension simmering between two people who clearly want more than they're willing to admit.

Abby Craden brings a natural, grounded quality to the narration that suits the story's emotional register. Her voice carries both the humor of modern dating and the vulnerability underneath, giving each character a distinct presence. At just over seven hours, the pacing feels unhurried but never slow, letting the romantic tension build organically. For listeners who enjoy character-driven romance, the audio format amplifies every hesitation and confession.
