Second Chance Romance

Jodi Whitehouse finds the passion she craves with Lee Sterling. However different priorities separate them for eleven years. An erotic adventure of love and reunion. Can they find a new relationship? Recommend author and book. Laura Jennings is a brilliant narrator and just the voice I imagined when I read the book. Recommend.

Overjoyed

I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder. They never really fell out of love with each other they just chose different paths. Time and distance can never really end a love like theirs. Of course the sexual chemistry was off the charts. Great narrator for this story.

There is only one.

Being a romantic, I truly believe there is only one person in our existence who can complete us. Sadly, we may never actually meet that person. Or perhaps our paths may briefly intertwine and then pass into nothingness. But for the lucky few, there that moment when you meet and know that this is the one and only one.
Tragically, we often make decisions or mistakes which drive us apart, and here in lies this precious tale of two such people.
Filled with loads of angst, and tears that at some point you feel that there is little hope for a happy ending.
But of course Ms. Bliss would never let us close the book shedding tears over a tragic ending 😭.
There is loads of heat here, and lots of kinky sex, but it is not gratuitous, but really allows us inside the heads of the two main characters.
Also, thanks to Ms. Jennings for using her talents to give believable voice to each character.
Bravo 👏👏

Beautiful...everyone deserves a second chance.

I've read this title before but it's one of those that I will periodically pickup and read again. Despite how everything played out between Leigh and Jodie, destiny was ultimately fulfilled. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.

Love the storyline

I like how this book was written and how it takes on 2 different perspectives. The storyline is 5 stars ready for me. The narration is what brought my overall to 4 stars. Laura has a very nice voice and did well with the reading but there were no differences on the voices between Leigh and Jodie. If I did not hear the name at the start of each chapter than I would have to wait until I was clued in. Other than that I really enjoyed the book.

Great story, different

I loved the story, Laura Jennings did a great job in narrating it, the only thing that was not my cup of tea were most of the sex scenes towards the end of the book, I am not into domineering, what can I say. But as I said the book is excellent, Harper Bliss never lets me down.

Incredible story

Incredible book! Favorite Harper Bliss book I’ve read/listened to. I only wish I read it instead of listened to it. Complex characters and plot, and overall beautiful story. It was very erotic too. I liked the BDSM, it wasn’t too extreme. Very emotional at times, but that’s what made it so good. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good lesbian romance.

Excellent Storyline!

Fantastic writing as always from Harper Bliss! Very different story than a traditional lesbian romance. Very emotional, but included the hot scenes Bliss always delivers.
