About this listen
Vivian Miene lost the love of her life, or so she believed.....
Then one day, amidst danger, she thought she'd escaped, but he returns in time to save her, and her twin sister. The shock undoes her, and, as she picks up the pieces, she has to decide if he deserves a second chance.
Eric Black left because he believed it was the only way to keep Vivian safe. He was wrong. While in hiding, he had someone watching over her, but they were not to contact him unless Vivian needed him. He prayed that she never did. After one call, he drops everything to return to her. He didn't expect to find she wasn't the only one he'd left behind. She was pregnant when he disappeared, and he now has a son.
With Eric back in Vivian's life, and with no danger to prevent them being together, they have to decide what is next for them. They must unravel the secrets and lies before anything can be decided. The passion is still there, along with the love, but trust is fragile. In time, they might find what they need to make their relationship whole again; however, it might take everything they have to erase the imprint of betrayal from their hearts.

Story
Dr. Trisha Raje is San Francisco’s most acclaimed neurosurgeon. But that’s not enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family who’s achieved power by making its own nonnegotiable rules: Never trust an outsider, never do anything to jeopardize your brother’s political aspirations, and never, ever, defy your family. Trisha is guilty of breaking all three rules. But now, she has a chance to redeem herself. So long as she doesn’t repeat old mistakes.

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.

Loved it
This romantic tale follows two people with more lies than they can handle. But when they find that the lies that they thought were important weren’t nearly as important as the person they were keeping them from, they had to make choices to save the love that they had. I loved the characters in this book and the plot was riveting.

Short Novella Second Chance Romance
This is the first novella in the Daring Love Series. Vivian and Eric's second chance romance is fast-paced, emotional, and heartwarming, filled with secrets, drama, action, danger, and twists and turns. Kelsey-Ann O'Dowd did an excellent job bringing these characters and this story to life. She has a beautiful voice. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to Desire and Jealousy, the next book in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Too Short
I’m all about short stories, but it seemed like there was a lot missing in this story. It seemed very rushed and I wasn’t able to feel like I could get invested in the characters.
After reading the synopsis I expected a bit more suspense, a bit more angst, but it just seemed like a rush to the finish line. It had good potential and I enjoyed the narration.

Love and lies
Interesting story. Eric an Vivian fell in love unexpectedly. Their double life and danger separated them. I can understand Eric's scheme to protect Vivian but not knowing the big revelation, he was neglectful on that aspect. Love Vivian's steadfast spirit especially being on her own. This was a short story but wished it was longer.
Nevertheless an entertaining story of secret lives, and lies.

Two Separate Stories Smashed into One
This book felt like an odd combination of parts. The book jumps into an action part of the story that happened some time before the bulk of the book with little preamble. While I am certainly no fan of info-dumping, I also don't like just being dropped into the middle of a circumstance with characters I don't know and care about yet, especially an action-packed and confusing one. It just sets me up poorly for the rest of the book. Then, the book made this radical change, instead becoming a romance between two people from the earlier part of the book. Honestly, these two very different parts felt as if they were from other stories, not the same one. A supposedly seriously ill young child makes for some heart-tugging moments, but I didn't feel invested in the characters enough to really have “the feels” because of how the book was set up. As a nurse, too, I found myself curious about the child’s supposed ailment. I loved how the primary doctor we saw never actually gave the parents a diagnosis or explained what happened to the child. Rather, after everything looking so life-threatening for a bit, he told the parents what the child didn't have and sent them home! Not terribly helpful. If this story had been set up correctly, it probably would have been enjoyable and brought all the feels. But as it was not, neither did it do so!
