About this listen

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new, STANDALONE novel…

Don’t say her name. That was the one rule my bandmates followed, because they knew how much it messed me up to think about her, especially on tour.

My ex, Nicole. The one who got away and the woman who still owned every piece of my heart. After our divorce, I threw myself into the rock scene, trying to forget my heartbreak.

Three years after we split, a phone call from Nicole changed everything. She told me her grandmother wasn’t doing well. Mimi was still family to me, and she apparently had one wish before dying: to spend time with us—Nicole and me. With Mimi’s caretaker away on vacation, it would be the ideal time for us to move in with her for a couple of weeks. Of course, I couldn’t refuse.

But there was a catch. Nicole apparently never told her that we’d gotten a divorce. She hadn’t believed Mimi could handle it, because her grandmother loved me so much. So, not only would I have to see Nicole again, but I’d be pretending to still be her husband.

Two weeks in a tiny house in a small town with the woman who broke my heart. Or was it me who broke hers? It was complicated. And it was about to be a heck of a lot more complicated sharing one bed in the guest room with a woman who wasn’t mine anymore.

Loved!

I’ve enjoyed this book and I’m a big Penelope Ward fan. Glad we got to hear the back story of Nicole and Atticus. I always like listening to Sebastian, but I cannot get behind the female narrator. She’s hard to listen to.

Can be enjoyed as a stand-alone

This is a sweet, second chance romance. When Atticus gets the phone call from his ex-wife, Nicole, asking him to help take care of her sick grandmother he never expects it to rekindle the relationship they once had.
When his band rose to sudden stardom, it signaled the beginning of the end of his marriage. Nicole thought she was doing what was best for them both by calling it quits and giving him his freedom. Little did she know he never stopped loving her and this opportunity to spend time with her again is exactly what he needed to prove to her he’s still the man she fell in love with.

💖 I REALLY ENJOYED THIS SECOND CHANCE 💖

Love wasn’t the problem with Atticus and Nicole but during this sweet, sad, tender, romantic journey back to each other we hear about the emotional mountains they have to climb and the devastating hurdles in the past that need to be aired before they can move forward. Character growth will have to play a big part in their journey too because sadly love won’t be enough to save these two soulmates. And I couldn’t stop listening as Atticus bears his soul, professes his undying love and does everything possible for a second chance with Nicole.

Worth a credit? Yes, I really enjoyed this second chance Rockstar romance and Sebastian and Angelina were good with the narration.. however, I wish it’d been duet-style. Other M and F drama but no cheating btw.

Loved the story line.

I didn’t enjoy the female voice. The different female character voices were forced and not very well done.

Wonderful Second Chance Story

I really enjoyed listening to this second chance story about true love and never forgetting the love they had for each other. Sebastian York and Angelina Rocca brought the story to life for me.
