Publisher's summary

Lights. Camera. Romance.

Jessica Quillen, veterinarian for the charitable K-9 Angelz program, didn’t mean to stumble into the middle of a New York movie shoot. She just wanted to rescue the stray dog she’d been chasing. Instead, she’s playing catch-up with her ex-fiancé - and the screen’s hottest action hero, Hugh Baker. The only man she ever loved. The dream that disappeared. The heartthrob who’s now hoping for a “take two.”

Seeing Jessica triggers emotions Hugh has tried to forget. Abandoned by his mother to foster care, he still struggles to feel worthy of love and to open his heart to a woman. His biggest mistake was not trusting Jessica. It was his fault she left. All he wants now is to make up for lost time. But he has to prove that she can trust him.

Though the sparks still smolder, he’s still Hollywood - a world far away from Jessica’s. Now it’s up to her to give their love story a happily ever after.

Second Act

Yes, this was great. We have a movie actor who plays an action hero and a veterinarian who were engaged previously then broken up and now collide on the streets of NYC. The chemistry is still there and the feelings are still as strong. Will they be able to make it a go the second time around? They just need to figure out how to stop the insecurities in their own head from taking over!

Cute story of second chances

This is a sweet story about second chances with a touch of substance but not overly deep so a great relaxing read or book to listen to and go about your day (or not lol).

I will never leave you behind.

This is another one of Nancy Herkness's success. I can't imagine how insecure a person can become because of their past experiences. No matter how much success they experience, they still feel lacking. It takes strong consistent love to help them feel secure enough to move on to a fulfilling life.

Liked this one a lot!! ⭐⭐💥💥⭐

Good love story with our furry friends having a lot of relevance to the back story. My first with this author and I will listen to her again. Megan is a narrator I've listened to before and enjoyed....and the reason I selected this audible.

Not her best work

Nancy Herkness is one of my favorites. This book however was very vanilla, formulaic, nothing original. I hope her next series is more like her older ones.

Good Story

This was okay but it felt like it was being dragged out. There was a ton of push/pull with the H going off the rails towards the end.

I did enjoy the story and will continue to read stories by Nancy Herkness.
