Summer of You

Season of Change, Book 1

I never said I was good at keeping promises…

Nathan

Four years ago, we said goodbye. I’d always intended to come back for you, but life got in the way. All I have are cowardly excuses of being in school, fear of coming out, and thinking that too much time had passed. But fate? It’s a funny thing, because I’m now forced to spend the summer with you, working together. It’s my chance to make things right, but I know I have to prove myself to you. To show you I’m not afraid anymore. That I still burn hot and heavy for you. Can we work past our differences and try again? Can this be the summer of us?

Chase

Is there a stronger word for betrayal? If there is, I haven’t found it yet. It’s how I felt when you left and never even so much as called, let alone came back like you’d promised. You left me behind, alone, with no way out of a town that holds no future. Giving you all my firsts was my initial mistake. My second was letting you back into my bed when you finally returned. But that’s all we ever were, right? A mistake? I’ve spent four years not needing or wanting your excuses, but the more time we spend together, I’m reminded of how good we used to be. You want to fix what was broken, but I’m not sure I can forgive you.

Amazing!

I absolutely loved this story when I first read it, and being able to hear it made it even better! Oliver did such an amazing job narrating Nathan and Chase’s story!!

Nathan is sent to help his uncle over the summer, and reunites with his first love, Chase. Chase is mad that Nathan never came back like he had promised, and never called to explain why. Now, years later, the two are reunited, but years and loss have come between them. Chase doesn’t want to let Nathan back in, and Nathan doesn’t want to let Chase go.

This was so so good, and I cannot wait for the rest of this series to be made into audiobooks!!

Love this narrative

This narrative brings the story to live and I love how he makes it a fun story and had me laughing and enjoying every moment he speaks.

Sweet hot second chances

This is my second time reading this story, first with my eyes and now with my ears🤭. Joelle’s books are always much a fast fun read! Just the right amount of spice, plot, and heart. The narration was on point and I think made the story even better to hear Oliver’s voice take on the characters.

Second Chance

Sweet second chance romance! I appreciated the growth of both characters. Loved the chemistry between these two!

Amazing Story with perfect Narration

I loved this story. it is super sweet and I adore these two guys. My heart broke for Chase and his loss but these two are able to overcome so much. Adding to the amazing story the narration is absolutely beautifully done.

Summer of youthful love

Nathan and Chase’s story with a fabulous lesson. You got a lot from their background and how close they were to how close they get by the end of the story. Highly recommend reading such a great start to the series.

Sweet second chance

This is a sweet second chance story. Nate and Chase are so cute together. The narrator did a great job.

Real love always comes back

This was a sweet story. Nathan and Chase were both very in love but Nathan’s hesitation to fulfill his promise almost broke Chase. For him to face the most painful moment of his life without Nathan was as truly heartbreaking. I’m glad their journey back together healed them both. It was clear they belonged together and found a way to make it happen despite the bumps on the road.

Best second chance

I knew from the moment that these two reconnected when they saw each other after years that this book was going to be epic and holy hell, Oliver Williams definitely did so amazing in the audiobook.

I felt for both characters, especially Chase. I loved that he had a cat, who immediately warmed up to Nathan, who normally doesn’t like people. I felt so bad for Chase because he lost his parents.

Nathan’s uncle is so hardheaded but I loved him so much. And I’m not going to give any spoilers but I loved Gabi too.

The only thing I didn’t like was how hard Nathan’s mother was on him. I definitely understood but give the kid a break. I love how the fun starts with the two but they just can’t get enough of one another.

Can I just say the dirty talk was out of this world? Out of all the books I’ve read by her, the dirty talk was just so good. The spicy scenes were so steamy I just had to fan myself.

I loved the ending for these two because it was so worth it. Second chance romances are my favorite to see how they will reconnect with one another.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Second Times the Charm

This second chance romance about two people who were really young and just not ready for each other the first time around is an entertaining story. They are still young when they enter each other lives again so it takes them a minute to get it right but ultimately they figure it out. The narrator does a great job too.
