One More Round

Gamer Boy, Volume 2

De: Lauren Helms

Narrado por: Amanda Stribling

Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets - will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?

Gia is living the dream with an amazing career and wonderful friends. Her life is on the right track, until a tall, broody blast from the past breezes back into her life, sending her into a tailspin. She never forgot about Simon - her first love - or the way she cut him from her life all those years ago. Now, she doesn’t know what to do.

Simon never forgot the girl next door, or how she broke his heart when she left without even a goodbye. Thankfully, life as a professional gamer keeps his mind off his broken heart. That is until he suddenly finds himself back in her path. Now he’s pushing her boundaries and testing her limits. Simon and Gia have to find a way to coexist.

They started as friends, and maybe it’s time to go back to the beginning. Only, this time around, being ‘just friends’ doesn’t seem to be enough. Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets. Will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?

A must read

Gia and Simon have loved each other since they were teenagers. They were separated when her family moved away. Now her job may separate them and ruin their second chance at love. This book is filled with fantastic friendships, secrets, heartbreaking decisions, and love. I must admit that there were times when I wanted to yell, "What are you thinking?!!!" If I had been reading a paperback it may have been thrown across the room , but my tablet may have not survived. You will wish you had friends like Mia and Simon have.

The narrator brings you right into the story. I received this Audible book in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend this book. It has so many feel good moments. Just don't throw your tablet.

fun story

I love the emotions between Gia and Simon. They have a history, many ups and downs in their relationship. The secondary characters add fun and depth to this story. Lauren Helms story touches on the subject of mental illness and how it emotionally effects the family.
Amanda Stribling voices and personalities for each character were spot on, and ability to transition from one character to the other is flawless. 🎧#audiobookobsessionreviewer🎧

2nd chance

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed getting to know Gia and Si. They have an amazing group of friends. The story of finding their way back together is a good listen.

Totally Adorable

I loved Gia and Simon so much! This was such a great second chance romance and a feel good story! Really enjoyed the writing. My biggest complaint is that I wish the author would have given us more time with them being together at the end.

Loved the narration! The acting was great, her voice showed the happiness and joy in the good times and the doom and gloom in the sadder times of the story. She really did an excellent job!

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Second chance romance

Gia and Simons story is a very emotional and heartfelt story with a ton of baggage. We get to learn of their first love when they were young, before Gia had to move away unexpectedly, and the choices she made that broke both their hearts. Eight years later, thrown back together in their new friends circle, Simon can’t get past what she did, and she feels guilty and doesn’t blame him for his anger. There’s a lot of hurt, heartache, and pain between these two, and how they maneuver their way out of it is a sweet and touching, albeit bumpy ride. The author also touches on mental illness and how it effects everyone it touches, and not just in a small way. It’s handled very well, and I think very realistically. Once again, we are witness to a wonderful circle of supportive and loving friends, demonstrating that it’s not just love, but our friendships that get us through our challenges in life. This was a heavier story than the first book, but in the end, it’s all the sweeter for it.

Good Read!

I really enjoyed this book. I received this audible for free and it was the first I have read from Lauren Helms. It was the second in the series but is a stand alone. It was funny and heartbreaking at times. I am looking forward to the next in the series. I will definitely read. Great job!

Well written

Heat with heart.

One More Round delves into the history of Simon and Gia. The friendship, heartache and secrets help to unite them, yet ultimately proved the catalyst that drove them apart. Helms has a talent for keeping readers guessing even as she leaves them craving more. Another example of prime reading.
