About this listen
Sarina Mahler thinks she has her life all nailed down: a growing architecture practice in Austin, Texas, and an any-day-now proposal from her loving boyfriend, Noah. She's well on her way to having the family she's hoped for since her mother's death 10 years ago. But with Noah on a temporary assignment abroad and retired Olympic swimmer - and former flame - Eamon Roy back in town asking her to renovate his new fixer-upper, Sarina's life takes an unexpected turn.
Eamon proves to be Sarina's dream client, someone who instinctively trusts every one of her choices - and Sarina is reminded of all the reasons she was first drawn to him back in the day. Suddenly her carefully planned future with Noah seems a little less than perfect. And when tragedy strikes, Sarina is left reeling. With her world completely upended, she is forced to question what she truly wants in life - and in love.
Full of both humor and heartbreak, The One That Got Away is the story of one woman's discovery that, sometimes, life is what happens when you leave the blueprints behind.

Laurie is sure love at first sight doesn't exist anywhere but the movies. But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man who she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Certain they're fated to find each other again, Laurie spends a year scanning every bus stop and cafe in London for him. But she doesn't find him, not when it matters anyway. Instead they "reunite" at a Christmas party, when her best friend, Sarah, giddily introduces her new boyfriend: the man from the bus.

Enemies turn to lovers in this bad boy billionaire romance with a twist. I had a plan. Finish law school. Start a job. Stay away from men like Brandon Sterling. Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me. Yeah, no. Think again. It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love.

It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes. But I had a plan: no falling in love.

Story
The most beautiful man I've ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything. The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he'll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent, and thousand-dollar shoes, he's just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants. And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle's estate. I can't afford either one. I'm the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system.

Reid Jackson - I’m a simple guy. There are only two things I love: my family and playing professional football. I may not understand why people get married, but I’d go anywhere for my brother, even his friend Camille’s wedding. Once I’m there, I realize our Bronx upbringing has left me unprepared for the world of old Southern money. Over 24 hours, I see scandal, threats, and lies. It’s a life I don’t relate to, a place I never want to belong. Even so, when the minister asks if anyone objects, I shock not only myself but also the beautiful bride when I stand up.

Story
The first time I met Ian Kemp in the sparkling blue waters of St. Thomas, I was six years old, and we shared a summer beneath the stars. The second time I met Ian Kemp, he was a shell of the boy I once knew. Turbulent and infuriating, he refused my friendship at every turn. Like me, he was a casualty of life’s cruelty, but we were planets apart. We’d both sought refuge on the island, hoping to find our anchor. Instead, we found each other and managed to reclaim our stars...until we both got swept away.

Narrator made it very difficult to get into story
The story was great and better to read this book because of it. The narrator was just awful, I felt like she was reading me a book like I would read to someone. Her inflection was completely off and it totally took me out of the story :( I'm so easy going and so this is not like me to be picky but I was so aggravated that someone could think this narration was good! She was better when reading different characters but when narrating the main characters thoughts and actions, just terrible.

Cute
An adorable story with a very self aware very confident woman...with a hint of self consciousness. REAL. Proof that everyone has their fears and issues, but we have to be brave and take risks! Worth the read!

Can’t put it down!
Plowed through this book in less than 2 days. Such a fun easy read that I never wanted to put down. Been needing one of these again and very happy it was this book. Wish there was a sequel.

Eh
I just didn't feel strongly about any of the three main characters (Sarina, Noah, Eamon) except maybe dislike of the two guys. I didn't understand why Sarina did what she did in the book (leave a 4 year relationship). I was told the reasons and there were occasional moments that did make her choice understandable, but those moments were few. The rather even keel reading of this probably didn't help.

Chick flick audiobook
Listened to this on a road trip and it was perfectly entertaining and lighthearted. I’ve found that some of the novels are good for listening to fall asleep- this one kept me interested and entertained for a road trip.

Eh
This could have been good. I listened and kept hoping that I would feel the connection between the characters, but I just didn’t. I wanted Eamon to be a better leading character, wanted to understand
the connection - to FEEL IT, but just didn’t. The book was long and the author used plenty of words and descriptions of other things, so why couldn’t she have given us some description of the connection between the characters? All we have is that they had a connection before and we get no great reason why that worked out that way. It just didn’t have the great romance to it that I enjoy. A romance writer needs to know how to get us to feel the romance. Also - I didn’t like that Eamon was willing to have her as a cheater a few separate times. And the story that he wasn’t “cheating” when they slept together the first time wasn’t well thought out. He was dating someone else, not necessarily exclusive, but he moved to be with her?? But then he’s described as so loyal and not a cheater...but wanted to sleep with Ree while she has a fiancé. I really liked Noah better. Just not good writing. Sloppy. I didn’t even find the finale very good and that is something that can sometimes leave me with a good feeling after a so-so book.

Good Escapism
I recommend this book for anyone who would like a story that keeps you interested and guessing about its outcome. I listened to it on long drives and training runs, so it kept my mind occupied. The reader wasn't as good as some others I've heard, but she didn't detract from the story.

painful to listen by the end
Just so you know I read books for entertainment and not to better myself. This book has a fun premise
Sarina's happy life with her soon to be fiance Noah gets thrown out of balance when her one night stand from years ago comes back into her life uh oh. But
by the end of this book I wanted to pull my hair out from frustration and couldn't wait for it to end.
I read most of this one on audible and in general the narration was good
but the voice of Danny sounded like a southern belle NOT at all like a male character it was very jarring and I kept thinking he was a female. Definitely skip this one.
If I could sit down with the author I would love to mention these things ...
Spoilers ~
Noah doesn’t go to his girlfriend (of 4 years) fathers funeral? so unrealistic!
Oh oh and hospitals do not adhere to visiting hours when a family member is on their death bed! Maybe this was necessary for the storyline but I missed why.
I was expecting a BIG reveal about why Eamon never calls Sarina after their night all those years ago like some memory loss from the accident or something but him just blowing her off is pretty shitty.
The 'Threes Company' style misunderstandings at the end made me literally roll my eyes
Eamon Finally gets Sarina to admit she is into him and then he says
"lets take some to think about things" PLEASE nooooo do not drag this out any longer
it was getting painful to continue reading

I’m tired of these stories that drag and drag for hours until it half resolves at the last minute. I didn’t like Eamon very much

Bring and Frustrating
This story started out ok but the drama was self imposed, non sense and Frustrating. For an architect with business sense she doesn't seem to know how to read people or their needs. Not to mention she gets lost in her own foolish waiting thoughts.
