About this listen
The only woman I've ever loved is the one I can't have.
Going from uncle to father overnight meant me moving back to my hometown after two decades away. Now, I'm trying to pick up the pieces and do right by a little girl who just wants her mom.
When my twentieth high school reunion rolls around, I come face-to-face with Emily, the ex whose heart I broke before she could break mine. Old feelings come rushing back, but I don't have time to grieve, let alone start a relationship.
Regardless of the palpable temptation to restore what we lost, all I can offer Emily is an apology and friendship.
But the lines I've drawn start to blur when she becomes my niece's soccer coach and I spend the entire season on the sidelines pretending I'm not wondering what might happen if we had a second chance.
Everything changes in one liquor-fueled night of confessions. I have no choice but to fight for Emily, for what we could have together. I've already wasted too much of my life without her in my arms, in my bed.
Maybe the second time's the charm…

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.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

The last person I wanted to fix up my historic dream home with was the handsome older man with money to burn who bought it right out from under me. Thanks to my father, that's exactly what happened. Colton Crawford was making my house a home, and I was back in my childhood room, trying not to think of the towering, gorgeous Adonis with a killer smile… and how much I hated him. Or at least that's what I tried to tell myself. Because the more time we were forced to spend together in the dust and debris, the less our age gap mattered. And the more the sparks flew.

A week ago, if you told me my boyfriend was cheating on me, I would have called you a liar. If you said a movie star would walk into my bakery and offer to help make my ex jealous, I would have thought you'd eaten one too many of my grandmother's special brownies. And if you had the audacity to suggest my fake date would turn into the love of my life? I would have told you to stop toying with me. I've been through enough disappointment lately.

My reputation and professionalism are the reasons I'm about to secure the promotion of a lifetime. So the last person I need anywhere near me is Luke Beaumont, the very definition of temptation and the man I've just been ordered to protect at any cost. Luke is everything I'm not. Charming and wealthy, messy and reckless. And he's made it his mission to make my job impossible. While my irritatingly impulsive client would rather ignore the dangers of old family secrets and new forbidden attractions, I know better.

Story
The first time I met the grumpy lumberjack next door, I almost burnt down his cabin. The second time, I was throwing tampons at a moose (don't ask). The third time, I was naked. Henri Gagnon is not just my neighbor and landlord but a pain in my optimistic, plus-sized ass. He's got a protective streak under his grumpy exterior, and he's convinced I won't make it through the Maine winter.

Sweet Second Chance
This story is more than a love story. It touches on forgiveness, trust, loss, grief, and the strength of family support and self-belief.
It is brought to life by C.J. Bloom and Alastair Haynesbridge - their narration is simply perfect!
It took Jesse and Emily 20 years to reunite after a heartbreaking split due to Jesse's fears. Now, Jesse has the chance to explain his actions, but he still struggles with self-worth. His priority is his niece, Maddie, but frequent encounters with Emily make it harder for him to resist. Fearing he might lose her again, Jesse takes a chance to prove he won't leave her this time. The roles reverse, and Jesse must wait for Emily's decision. The chemistry between Jesse and Emily is strong, and their journey from devastation to friendship, and eventually love, is touching. Maddie plays a crucial role, making the story even more emotional and heartwarming. Despite her loss, Maddie finds new 'parents' in Jesse and Emily. Emily's resilience and Jesse's determination show that with strong bonds, communication, and trust, one can achieve great things. The story isn't just a second chance for Jesse and Emily but also for Emily and Tessa through Maddie.

Beautiful second chance romance!
I was completely captivated by this slow-burn, second chance romance! Rose has the incredible ability to sweep me up into every story she writes. Her characters are so rich and authentic, I can't help but be drawn in to their beautiful, complex, and riveting stories. Emily and Jesse were in love from the moment they met in High School. Emily was a talented soccer player and Jesse was the computer nerd, and they were absolutely perfect for each other. When Emily was preparing to leave for college, Jesse broke up with her, not wanting to hold her back, breaking both their hearts. Now twenty years later, they meet again, and the attraction, and love they thought was long buried flies to the surface. They reconnect, letting go of old hurts. Jesse knows that Emily is the love of his life, but needs to focus on raising his niece after losing his sister recently. Emily has her own baggage, and knows she could fall even harder for Jesse a second time. She doesn't want to risk her heart being broken for good this time, if she doesn't keep him and his adorable niece at a distance. But can two soul mates stay apart when everything is working to bring them together? I loved how Rose took her time bringing Emily and Jesse back together. They slowly spent time together, learning who they are now, making their connection even stronger and unbreakable. Emily is so kind and sweet, and Jesse is a great guy, and a great Uncle, with a heart of gold. The chemistry and absolute devotion that develops between them is remarkable. This is an emotional and passionate story about forgiveness, love, loyalty, and family. Emily and Jesse's journey is messy, bittersweet, beautiful, and unflinchingly real, and it will leave you believing in soul mates.
Listening to CJ Bloom and Alastair Haynesbridge bring these characters and story to life was perfect. Their dynamic inflections, their distinct tones for young and mature voices, and the emotions they infuse into their characters is all so impressive. I loved reading this book when it released, but listening to these amazing performances made it even more enjoyable!
