A house on the French Riviera. Three weeks stuck with her ex-boyfriend with no escape. Memories that refuse to go away and anger that was never resolved.

Genevieve Bennett thought Jackson Thatcher-Miles was a thing of her past. In the nine years since their breakup, she has successfully managed to avoid him at all cost. Despite her efforts, when their friends organize a trip to Saint-Tropez with the intent to play matchmaker, Gen's past comes back with vengeance.

When a booking error leaves them sharing close quarters, Gen is forced to use all her efforts to keep him at arms length. Jackson, however, is dead set on the opposite. With every new advance Jackson makes, Gen takes a step back. The question is, what is she supposed to do when her back is against a wall with Jackson towering over her?

Stolen kisses lead to more, and old wounds are ripped open. Are they finally going to get their happy ending, or will old reservations leave them worse off than before?

“Second Chance Vacation" by Nicole Ryan is a sumptuous auditory treat, combining the allure of the French Riviera with the timeless tale of love rekindled. The picturesque settings of Saint-Tropez and a quaint house on the French coast serve not just as a backdrop, but as integral characters in this passionate love story.

The premise is tantalizing: Gen and Jacks, once inseparable in love, find themselves pushed together in the sun-drenched corners of the Riviera, thanks to a scheming friend with match-making ambitions. Ryan's portrayal of Gen's resistance juxtaposed with Jacks's eagerness adds a compelling tension to the narrative. Their interactions, laden with memories and suppressed feelings, keep the listener eagerly awaiting each turn of events.

What stands out in this audio rendition is the palpable chemistry between the characters. Through skillful voice acting and meticulous narration, listeners can practically feel the warmth of the Riviera sun and the heat between Gen and Jacks. The vivid descriptions combined with the soundscape make it easy to visualize the azure waters, bustling markets, and romantic moonlit nights.

Ryan doesn't merely rely on the scenic beauty and nostalgia. She delves deep into the complexities of love, capturing the essence of first loves and the indelible marks they leave. The steaminess of their young romance is contrasted and compared with their matured affections, making one question if love can truly change over time or if it simply evolves.

The matchmaker friend's role in the tale offers moments of levity, reminding us of the lengths friends will go to see their loved ones happy. This subplot adds depth to the story, reminding listeners of the importance of friendship in the tapestry of love.

In summation, "Second Chance Vacation" is a captivating listen. Nicole Ryan artfully blends romance, nostalgia, and scenic beauty to create a story that lingers long after the final note. For those who believe in second chances and the enduring nature of love, this audiobook is an essential addition to their collection.

This book was an exciting story about two high school sweethearts being flung into a matchmaker whirlwind when Gen and Jackson were reintroduced years later after zero interaction for years.

Once settled in for a few weeks on a relaxing vacation on the French Coast, the two find themselves still interested in each other after all this time. They had both grown so much since their high school days. The intimacy was steamy and definitely kept me wondering what would happen next.

The narration was very well done. I could feel the characters come alive while I was listening.

Love the idea of second chances!
