About this listen
Second chances only come around once.
Eight years ago, Adam Elliot made the biggest mistake of his life. Now that mistake is coming back to haunt him. His family’s beloved vineyard has gone into foreclosure, and the new owner is the sister of the only man he’s ever loved - the man he dumped under pressure from family and friends who thought the match was beneath him.
When Freddy Wentworth, aka the bad boy of Bishop’s Glen, left town with a broken heart, he vowed never to return. But a recently widowed friend needs his help, so here he is. He’s a rich and famous celebrity chef now, though, so everyone can just eff right off.
But some things are easier said than done. Despite their attempts to resist each other, old love rekindles - and old wounds reopen. If they want to make things work the second time around, they’ll have to learn to set aside their pride - and prejudice.
This modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion is a standalone novel that can be enjoyed by Austen-philes and by those allergic to the nineteenth century.

Story
His own marriage was a whirlwind affair that ended before the ink could dry on the wedding certificate. Nevertheless, even with his divorce pending, he’s getting by. Or at least he was until he finds himself snowed in at a remote Scottish hotel with the wedding party from hell, a terrible ABBA tribute band, and his soon-to-be ex-husband.

All that up-and-coming musician Jesse Jamison has ever wanted is to be on the cover of Rolling Stone. When a gossip website nearly catches him kissing someone who isn’t his famous girlfriend - and also isn’t a girl - he considers the near miss a wake-up call. There’s a lot riding on his image as the super-straight rocker, and if he wants to realize his dreams, he’ll need to toe the line. Luckily, he’s into women too. Problem solved. After a decade pretending to be his ex’s roommate, pediatrician Hunter Wyatt is done hiding.

Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine.

A summer job. That's all it was supposed to be. It never crossed my mind that I was about to collide with a man who would obliterate every plan I ever made. My mother has always warned me that love is like a lightning bolt and it strikes without warning. But I had no intention of getting struck by either lightning or love anytime soon. I'd be too busy finishing my journalism degree and landing a job in a city far more sophisticated than Phoenix. There was certainly nothing in the cards about getting involved with an ex-ballplayer turned nightclub boss.

Story
The words on the page jumbled into a toxic mess my brain refused to comprehend, much less accept. Please consider this letter as a formal request to arrange a paternity test (DNA). I barely remembered Chelsea Airy. That wasn't true - we'd gone out once, and we'd been friends for a while after. But I hadn't heard so much as a peep from her since I'd gotten married. I'd reached out a handful of times, but she'd quit responding and fell off the face of the earth.

I have to start by saying i'm not a fan of books written in Third person especially on Audio because hearing He and Him a thousand times in a book gets annoying. The story was a sweet second chance romance with no steam to speak of. I enjoyed it but didn't connect with the characters but again I think that is because it's 3rd.
Michael Fell did a good job on this audiobook.

Great story well done
I really found the story compelling and, while I am not a prude, found it gratifying that it didn’t resort to the prolonged explicit description that so many gay romance stories seem to feel are necessary. The narrator did a great job in my opinion.

Persuasive and Beautiful
My favorite Jane Austen is Persuasion. And I get it. I really do get it. I get the whole Mr. Darcy thing and I understand perfectly why reverting to some, heretofore, unknown Regency version of yourself and swooning is a reasonable response in an unreasonable world. Elizabeth and Darcy remain, as ever, iconic. And still I choose to break my own heart in endless loops of reading and rereading Persuasion.
I’m there with Anne and Wentworth. But it’s mostly Anne, I ravage my soul with her story. End the book. Pick it up and start again.
Now, there’s this, Undue Influence by Jenny Holiday. Adam Elliot is every bit the modern-day version of Anne. Facing the coercion and not persuasion from the people he loved or placed his trust in. They in turn take everything from him, leaving him raw and alone, abandoned to watch the man he loves carry on in a new life.
Yes, Persuasion is still my favorite. And yes, this is now my favorite modern day adaptation of the story which still gnaws at my insides and makes me want to believe in love.

Slow
I'm an Austen fan, and I was thrilled to find this book. However, the slow tempo that makes Persuasion so compelling didn't work for Jenny Holliday's Undue Influence. It's too slow, and feels like a listing up of information rather than an insight into the lives of the protagonists. Michael Fell did a decent job, but couldn't lift the story for me.
