About this listen
Don't Tell Me Twice
When Buck, the lead singer of Jems and Jamz, loses her girlfriend Olive and lead guitarist to a rival band, her life takes a drastic turn. Just when everything seems like it is too much to handle, her band manager hires a new woman Ziggy to take Olive's place.
Ziggy is charming and challenges Buck with her overall talent, creating tension between the two. Buck does her best to get along with the other woman, but when the Ziggy threatens her spot on vocals, tempers flare.
A Second Chance
After Olive's fallout with Jems and Jamz, she relocates to a small town and begins a new life. Upon taking a job at a cafe and forfeiting her fame, she meets River, the owner of Riverside Cafe and a local musician. Though the two don't always see eye to eye, they find common ground in their music, and just as their relationship begins to grow, Olive is offered another chance to live a life of fame and luxury. Olive is left facing a hard decision.
Should she follow her dreams of fame and fortune, or should she allow herself to love again? What should she do with her second chance?

Fun is the one thing Elsie Webb takes seriously. Though she'd be having a lot more of it if Haelstrom Media paid her enough to actually get out of debt. She's determined to hold out on contract negotiations for her kids' television show Fangley Heights until she gets what she deserves. There's only one problem, the head of the network just died and left her future more uncertain than ever. Forty-eight hours and one funeral—that's all Jones Haelstrom has to get through before she can return to her life in LA that's as ordered and sparse as an IKEA showroom.

I’d never forgotten him - a man I’d yet to meet. Griffin Quinn was my childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn’t have been more different from me. Over the years, through hundreds of letters, we became best friends, sharing our deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection I never thought could break. Until one day, it did. Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. I had no choice but to finally come clean as to why I stopped writing. Griffin forgave me, and we were able to rekindle our childhood connection.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Good storyline
This book has a good storyline with outstanding narration by Kris Szczesney. The story is well written the only problem I have is the constant use of the words "The other woman" instead of using the characters name. I do recommend this book if you do not have an aversion to lesbian relationships or drug use. I received this book from the author at my request and I truly do not regret it because it was very an enjoyable listen.

It was okay
Title: Don't Tell Me Twice/A Second Chance: Jems and Jamz Books 1 & 2
Author: Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue
Format: Audio
Narrator: Kris Szczesny
Genre: Romance, Rockstar, FF
Standalone: Yes (?), but there is no epilogue and it looks like later books feature some of these characters but with their past lovers/wives (why would you want to read about a couple you know doesn't make it???)
Part of a Series: Books 1 and 2 of 7 (?) in the Jems and Jamz series
Steam Level: Slow burn to steamy but not too explicit
3/5
I can't tell if these book are HEA or HFN but either way, they're short. Both books ran at about 4.5 hours in length in total -not each.
Book 1: Don't Tell Me Twice
Additional Trope: Enemies to lovers
POV: Buck and Ziggy
Don't Tell Me Twice was okay. The way that Zaggy and Buck got close was unique and gave this story and interesting twist.
Favorite Quote: Sometimes the greatest words aren't spoken out loud.
Book 2: A Second Chance
Additional Trope: Single Mom, Office (boss/employee), redemption
POV: Olive and River
A Second Chance is Olive's redemption from her actions in book 1 which you don't need to have read to know what the issue was. In A Second Chance you do see Ziggy but not Buck and only a phone conversation so you still den't really see more of Buck and Ziggy's HEA. I really liked River's son, though. He was a cutie and kind of made this story for me.
I received this audiobook for free from StoryOrigin. This is my honest and voluntary review.

So worth the credit
I love the first book and thought buck was an awesome character An Izzie Really grew on me she was crazy but lovable. As far as the second book goes because of something that happened in the first book I kind of didn’t like Olive at first but as the book one on she really grew on me. I find this author has a knack for writing great characters. There is nothing better than seeing she has a new book and climbing into bed and reading it. I do think she is one of my favorite authors. As far as these books go I highly recommend both of them just when you get to Brooke to keep an open mind. We never know why people do what they do and sometimes when you find out it makes you look at things differently. If you love romance stories you would love this book. Although it isn’t What people consider a normal romance book, love is love someone wants it and someone is willing to give it in by the end of the book you’re rooting for both of them. So good especially the first one.

2 Books. 2 Couples. FF Rock Star lives.
Lesbian romance definitely is not my genre. But I won't slight my review because of it. These stories are well written. Lots of.feels. Seems true to life. Rock stars with everyday personalities. Four main characters. Two in each book. Not alot of action. A little steam.
The narrator. She has different voices for each character, which I really like. But there were a few that really didn't like. They grated on me. Luckily they were minor characters. I don't feel that she really added anything to the stories for me.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the author through Story Origin.
