About this listen
You can fall in love in a matter of days.
It can take years to recover from the loss of it. I know that all too well. When I fell for Gavin Vaughn, I never expected to watch him marry someone else. The experience changed me, shaped the woman I became.
Now he’s divorced and wanting to reconnect after twenty years. As if that same shattered heart doesn’t still beat inside me.
He’s as charming as he ever was, better looking, too. And a star player for the NHL team in the city I just relocated to.
I’m not that same girl who loved him and watched him leave. I’m a woman who built her own empire from scraps. I’m also the woman who will be mentoring his daughter to do the same.
I’m the woman who can still be brought to her knees by the only man she ever cared about. But it’s going to take more than sly smiles and bouquets of flowers to convince me he’s worth my time. Or my heart.

To Kate, James is the one man who would never betray her—until the day she learns he already has. James knows he’s made the worst mistake of his life—throwing away the love of his soulmate for a fleeting moment of emptiness. Consumed by self-loathing and desperate for forgiveness, he’s willing to grovel, sacrifice, and rebuild himself if it means earning a second chance with Kate.

From the moment my twin sister set her eyes on Matteo, she decided he was the one. We were just kids, but that didn’t matter to her. In her heart, she believed they were destined to be together. So when their arranged engagement was announced, no one was surprised. At least, that’s what I thought. But lately, something had felt off. Wherever I went, Matteo was there. Lurking in the dark, concealed in the shadows, always watching.

Jenna Bradshaw's life looks perfect from the outside - comfortable home, a successful husband, and two grown children. But beneath the surface, her world is crumbling. Over decades of quiet sacrifices, Jenna has lost herself, her voice drowned out by a loveless marriage, dismissive children, and the judgment of her husband's elitist family. She has become invisible in her own life, a shadow of the hopeful young artist she once was. When her best friend Sasha tragically dies in a car accident, leaving behind two foster children, Jenna is forced to confront the harsh truths of her existence. ...

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. That was the wisdom my father imparted to us James boys after our mom died, and it’s a piece of advice that’s served me well. Until dear old Dad asks me for a favor over Sunday brunch. No big deal, right? I love making my old man happy. Except this “favor” is a lot more complicated than picking up his dry cleaning. Dad wants me to marry and provide a few heirs for the James empire, and he’s even done me the courtesy of handpicking my bride-to-be. Lucky me.

Hockey guys are off limits—and yet, one has set me in his sights, and I have no chance of escaping. Camden Church is the guy I should’ve stayed away from. But when he mistakes my identity, I don’t correct him. I let him break all my rules. It’s a night I’ll never forget—not that he’ll ever let me. If my brother discovers our secret, he could jeopardize Camden’s pro hockey career and end it before it’s begun. Camden thinks I’m going to rat him out, but he’s wrong. I’d rather let him drag me into ruin than admit my most hidden desire: I like the dark, twisted things he does to me.

Or his best friend. Their college days are long behind them, and they barely talk now. Also, I’m not dating him—we’re just sleeping together. There’s a difference.

Taron Rhodes was my brother’s best friend. He was sexy as sin. But he was more than that.... He was ponytail-pulling, ice-down-your-shirt teasing, throw-you-in-the-lake screaming.... Strong, tanned arms and blue-green eyes over a heart-stopping, naughty grin.... Did I mention his tight end? I gave him my first real kiss, my heart, my everything. I said I’d wait for him.... I’m still waiting, because Taron Rhodes is still the man of my dreams. And I have a secret that has his blue-green eyes.

Maxine is so powerful as Odette, a successful and independent self-made woman. She gives Odette so much confidence and self-awareness; and I was cheering for Odette this whole story. My heart broke for her; her young love with Gavin really gave her a terrible outlook on love. I also appreciate that the FMC is the one with attachment issues, that representation is so important.
Teddy, as Gavin, skated away with my heart. He married his childhood sweetheart out of obligation and a sense of duty when they become pregnant with Tori, therefore giving Gavin a situation he was not prepared or equipped to handle as a college bound hockey player. I really enjoyed the scenes with Gavin and his 19 year old daughter…she is the link that broke the summer tryst Odette and Gavin had 20 years prior but she is also the force that brings them together as Odette’s mentee.
The flashbacks are written and performed beautifully; and for me were powerful parts of both Maxine and Teddy’s performances. They also handle Odette’s life with hashimoto's disease. There is a scene that brings me to tears when I think of the tenderness that Gavin shows her.
This is the 3rd book in an interconnected series and I listened to it as a standalone. Now I’m ready to go back and listen to the other two books.
Maxine & Teddy deliver feeling & heat in this second chance romance.

Maxine Mitchell and Teddy Hamilton bring Alison’s wonderful love story to life perfectly. Their passionate performances were spectacular. I loved Maxine and Teddy as Odette and Gavin from their heartbreaking backstory to their hard-fought forever.

So good...
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I was fully invested in this couple’s happy ending. They earned it, and I loved listening to their journey (I did this entire series on audio). The relationship Odette was able to build with Gavin’s daughter was perfect and so helpful in her figuring out how to forgive Gavin for leaving all those years ago. I also love that we get a scene where Odette stands up for her relationship with Gavin to his ex, and I appreciated the maturity level of all three adults in how they handled a situation that caused a lot of pain over the years. Overall, I really enjoyed this series and hope that Alison has more in store for us!
Great second chance
