Publisher's summary

USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa finishes an emotional rock-star romance duet where second chances between soul mates could make the difference between love and loss.

Karma is a...she’s not nice.

It’s been 10 long years since Jacob and I parted ways.

I moved on.... Well, at least I thought I did.

That was until I’m asked to clean the image of Jacob Decker.

Rock star, playboy, womanizer JC Decker.

He’s spoiled, rude, and inappropriate.

I shouldn’t take the job, but I need the money.

I swallow my pride and work for him.

Closely.

Too close.

That’s when I uncover the wounds he hides.

The scars underneath his dismissive attitude.

And his shattered heart.

Can I just walk away when I’m about to find the man I once loved?

Strangers in Love is the conclusion of the highly angsty Somehow Everlasting novel duet.

HEA!

Another audio approval and continuance from my previous review about part 1 of this duet. Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker again sold me on the emotions and connection to these characters.

This book picks up several years later and the emotions are running even higher in this story. They have been through a lot in their years apart but it's unquestionable that they are meant to be together.

Let me tell you though these two are hard headed and stubborn. I was so annoyed with them at points lol but in all reality they went through so much crap, so it's understandable how guarded they are. Thanks to their family and friends they are able to find a way to get along. It ends in a HEA and is so heartwarming.

Thank you again @foreverandalwayspr and Claudia Burgoa for allowing me to listen and review this duet.

Love the Decker family!!

The conclusion to Pria and Jacobs story was great but there just wasn’t enough of it. Pria has grown into such a strong woman but it was nice to see her vulnerability as well, especially in the face of so much loss. Jacob is learning to cope with his own loses which highly affects his reunion with Pria. There were times and details in this second book that do feel rushed but the overall storyline is a good one. There is great closure and we even get to revisit Ainsley and Mason and get some much valued progress in their relationship as well

The narration was great. Joe Arden, as always, was amazing. He has such a versatile voice and embodies Jacobs character so well. He was able to adapt to the different stages and emotions his character goes through and portrays that so well in his performance. Stephanie Nemeth-Parker is new to me. She was so good and has a beautiful voice that is so easy to listen to. She has quickly become a newly loved narrator of mine.

What an emotional rollercoaster

This is the conclusion of the Somehow Everlasting Duet. If you haven't read Almost Strangers, book one in the duet, then STOP as it needs to be read before this book.
This book was everything I was expecting and so much more. Jacob Decker and Pria Walker’s continuing story was just as emotional as the first book, just like riding an emotional roller coaster. It drew so many emotions out of me that I felt as though I have been through the ringer.
The narration by Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker was spot on. Their voices are easy to listen to and they certainly did justice to this emotional roller coaster of a listen.
There were moments that I feared neither of them would get the happily ever after that they deserved. Jacob and Pria are two halves of a whole and while there were moments where I doubted they would get their happily ever after, they were destined to be together. Claudia Burgoa ripped my heart apart and then put it back together.
A heartbreaking, emotional and fitting conclusion to a beautifully written duet; it left me with one heck of a book hangover.

Loved this second chance emotional romance!

Strangers in Love by Claudia Burgoa is book 2 in the Somehow Everlasting Duet. Book 2 is about growing, learning from the past, and healing. I love that Jacob and Pria get a second chance ten years in the making. Their road to HEA isn't easy, and they face many challenges. However, once they finally learn to trust and love each other, their fated chemistry is undeniable.

Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker once again narrate this audiobook. With these two narrating, I felt completely immersed and lost in the story. Stepanie Nemeth-Parker once again shines as Pria, showcasing her vulnerabilities and determination to take care of her family, and learn to love Jacob Decker all over again. Joe's portrayal of Jacob hit me all in the feels showcasing his past pains, wants, and dedication to Pria and making himself a better future.

Overall, I really enjoyed this duet! If you are a fan of a heartfelt, emotional second chance romance that will make you feel all the things, then you will love Strangers in Love. I always look forward to more from Claudia Burgoa.

So Much Better in Audio

I loved this book when I read it but listening to Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker bring HEA for Jacob and Pria was epic. Their journey getting there was sad and tragic. It took them ten years to find their way back to each other.

Part 2 their story concludes

Part two of this duet has taken us on a rollercoaster of a ride. In part one Jacob and Pria met and Jacob was head over heels for her. Life happened and things went haywire and they went their separate ways. Now we are picking back up where they are back together in business rather than love; it is still an emotional ride. Jacob has dealt with loss and has a lot of baggage to get through, Pria has grown up and had to deal with tragic events as well so they are not the same innocent young people from before but maybe they can find each other again and survive together.

Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker did a great job in this duet.

This is not a sweet love story but it is rather a look at how hard life is sometimes and how we must move forward to survive.

Enjoyed

I recently discovered the Decker series. Now I am going back in time to get caught up.
I was always curious about Jacob so enjoyed the journey of Jacob and Pria. Each member of the family goes through so many struggles along the way. A lot of things happen to take them down different paths along the way. The side characters all come alive and they feel so real as I listen/read.

Okayish…

A little bit too twisted for my taste and story having too many side plots. Overall as the first book was for free I wanted to know how it ends.

Sweet and Angsty

4/5 ⭐
2/5 🌶️
4/5 🎧

This was a really sweet and angsty second chance romance. I loved watching Pria and Jacob grow and seeing them finally get their happily ever after. They both went through so much throughout this duet and it was so nice to breathe easy when I got to the epilogue, which was absolutely perfect for them.

I really loved the secondary characters of this story too. I'm sad it seems we won't get Ainsley's story, but I'm excited for Matthew's *fingers crossed* even though Tristan is up next. I'd also love to look back through Claudia's backlog and see if this is a second gen series because I would unalive for their parents story.

The audio was great. Joe Arden is an absolute favorite and he did so well as Jacob. Stephanie Nemeth-Parker was fantastic as Pria as well.
