Second Chance at First Love

By: N.R. Walker

Narrated by: Glen Lloyd

Length: 2 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's summary

A prequel to the Storm Boys series.

Paul Morgan has been running his luxury camping tour business in Kakadu National Park for the last five years, taking small groups glamping, hiking, climbing, and swimming. It’s been a busy five years—a hard five years—as he tried to forget the man he left behind.

Derek Grimes pushes people away—a self-preservation reflex. Because they can’t break his heart if he breaks theirs first, right? Five years on, lost and lonely, he tracks down the one and only love of his life. Maybe seeing how Paul had moved on will help Derek move on too....

Paul can’t believe it when a familiar name pops up on his client list, and Derek can’t believe how good Paul looks, or just how happy living his dream job has made him. The spark between them never waned, but five years on, they’ve learned a few things about themselves and what they want.

They could have everything they ever dreamed of—if they’re prepared to trust each other. Because a second chance at first love comes but once in a lifetime.

What a gorgeous world!

Just a delightful and heart-full story. Love the descriptions of Australia’s natural beauty & the glimpse at the night sky through Paul’s telescope.
Short but so worth the listen.
Glen Lloyd portrayed the people in Walker’s story to perfection!

The Perfect Prelude

Full disclosure…NR Walker is one of my very favorite authors. Her writing makes me feel like I want to know and be friends with, not just the main characters, but the secondary characters too. Paul and Derek’s story is the perfect start to what’s turning out to be an awesome series! And, I can’t say enough good things about this narrator. He’s my favorite for bringing her stories to audio. I can hear the smiles and the tears in his voice. I honestly can’t wait for him to narrate the rest of the Storm Boys series!!

Love this narrator!

Nice prelude to the series. I listened to this because the 3rd book wasn’t up on audio yet. I normally don’t listen or buy such short stories but I loved this narrator and the scenery in Australia. Totally worth it.

enjoyed it

📖 A cute and entertaining story with an easy pace and low drama. The characters are likeable and their story was entertaining. I was thoroughly enchanted with the descriptions of the universe through Paul's eyes. Nice intro into the seris.

🎧 Glen Lloyd's narration just keeps getting better. I had no problem distinguishing characters his rhythm, tone and inflections have done a good job bringing Second Chance at First Love to life.
