About this listen

Through the Lens of Second Chances is an unforgettable story of love, healing, and risking it all for a second chance.

Their journey is filled with ethical dilemmas, emotional conflicts, and external pressures

Claire Dawson, a therapist who moves to a seaside town for a fresh start after a painful divorce. She unexpectedly develops a romantic connection with the photographer next door neighbor.

  • The fear of small-town gossip
  • Ex-husband who tries to manipulate damage Claire’s credibility.
  • Oliver struggles with past wounds

Now, Claire must decide: walk away to protect everything she’s built—or fight for the man who’s shown her what love is supposed to feel like?

Perfect for fans of small-town romance, slow-burn passion, and deeply emotional love stories that leave you breathless.

Hearfelt, Captivating Audible

This book had me completely hooked from the very first chapter! This audiobook pulled me in with its heartfelt storytelling, deep emotional conflicts, and the kind of slow-burn romance that keeps you hanging on every word. Claire’s journey was so compelling. Her struggles to rebuild after heartbreak felt raw and real. I found myself rooting for her as she navigated her life through a web of small-town gossip, professional challenges, and the undeniable chemistry with Oliver. Oliver was such an intriguing character. The tension between them had me completely invested, and I couldn’t stop listening to see how their story would unfold.

Being a social worker, I was pleasantly surprised this book wasn’t just about romance. It touched on healing, self-discovery, and the courage to take a second chance on love. The narration brought the characters to life beautifully, making every moment even more immersive. If you love small-town romance and a love story that lingers in your heart long after it ends, I highly recommend this audiobook.

a heartfelt story

This short story beautifully captures the power of second chances and the courage it takes to embrace them. The characters feel real, and their emotions are raw, making it easy to connect with their journey. The narration in the audiobook version adds another layer of emotion, making it even more engaging. It’s a quick but meaningful listen that leaves you reflecting on your own “what ifs” in life. If you enjoy heartfelt stories with a touch of hope, this one is definitely worth your time..

So much healing

I just love the truth of second chances, of forgiveness and healing, and that's exactly what this book is about. Loved the story, and loved how I felt my own emotional healing through it.

Great story!

I do love a quick story, but I found myself wanting there to be more!! The narrator does a great job switching between voices and her voice is perfect for this book. This book drew me in immediately. The author did a great job describing the scenery throughout, the characters and the feelings the characters were going thru. I wish it was longer, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, I would highly recommend this book!
