Second Guessing

A Rockstar Romance

De: Gail Ward Olmsted

Narrado por: Gina Rogers

Falling in love with a young pop singer is the last thing successful songwriter Jill Griffin ever imagined. Since the tragic end of her marriage, the 40-something single mom had all but abandoned hope for a love story of her own. Then, boyband refugee Ben Fein walked into her life and stole her heart.

Jill wants to take things slow, keeping their relationship out of the glare of the media. When a dark secret from Ben’s past makes headlines, Jill begins to wonder how well she really knows him and just how far she is willing to go for a second chance at a "happy ever after".

Second Guessing is the story of Jill and Ben, who are so wrong for each other they may actually be just right!

Loved seeing these characters again!

Let me start by saying how ready I was to listen to this. I wanted to find out how Jill moved forward and what she has been doing. There are many feelings I have about this story. I was connected to James, Jill and Alex as well as other in Guessing at Normal (Book 1). I didn’t want to change those feelings but no worries they have become enhanced. The author did a great job fleshing out all the characters. She has complimented book one perfectly.

I loved catching back up with Jill, Carly and even Alex. Heck all the characters! I liked that Jill moved on but still kept her relationship with James around. Carly was a joy! I love seeing all the similarities between her and her Dad..even Jill. I smile sappily when James sides come out. I have to say Alex surprised me! He has changed for the good!

Ben is a different character than James. He seems to think of Jill first. As time goes by I see the maturity in him, even though he is younger, that was missing in James. I loved how solid he was felt on their relationship.

There are a couple time in here that I felt really made me *feel*. That tribute concert just brought back all the feelings from book 1 (Guessing at Normal) rehashing the life of James and Jill. Tears were brought to my eyes during the video and photo montage. I was right there with Jill, Carly and his parents. The second is when Jill goes to see Pops (Brian’s Dad). He is so great and has amazing memories of the start of the band.

If you have read this far you have to know that I ended up LOVING this! The characters are intense and the story took me to places I didn’t plan on going. I would recommend reading Guessing at Normal (Book 1) first to get the full effect of this story. Better yet...listen on audio! That’s what I did. Gina Rogers does a great job and makes listening easy and enjoyable!

Second Guessing

This story brought out a lot of emotions throughout, the characters were interesting and easy to identify with.

The narration was good.

Second Guessing

I guess I shouldn't have second guessed this book. I totally thought it was going to end differently than it did. The story was good, the characters were believable and I even found myself getting a little teary-eyed at the end. You won't be disappointed with this book. "I was given a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review."

Edit Review

Great sequel!

I was really vested in Jill’s character so loved that she finally got her HEA! Excellent narration!

A treasure of a story....Perfectly performed,!!!

Second Guessing: A Rockstar Romance, an Audiobook by Gail Ward Olmsted was the beautifully touching story of Ben and Jill. He’s a renowned rock star and she’s twice his age. But, somehow they choose one another. But, there are so many obstacles, dissension, those opposed to the relationship. So, they choose to remain secretive.

This was such an incredibly, lovely, touching, warm, intensely riveting story that I adored every word I read!!! I was engrossed from the very first word uttered.

This story was phenomenally narrated by Gina Rogers! She brought these lovely characters to life and made me care deeply for each one!!! Her spoken nuances were PERFECT, the differences in characters were easy to discern since she had different accents for each….just incredible!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.
