The Problem with Second Chances

Lake Starlight, Book 1

De: Piper Rayne

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Erin Mallon

For Rylan Greene and me, it was simple. Love only got us so far.

I’ve known him since we were six, long before he became the professional soccer star he is now. We’ve weaved in and out of one another’s lives as rivals, teammates, friends, and lovers. Until three years ago, when my life took a hit, and I ran back to my small Alaskan town, Lake Starlight, away from anything or anyone that could hurt me.

He’s never far from my mind, a constant pining ache in my heart, but I’ve convinced myself I’m better off. But now, my best friend announces her engagement, and that means Rylan will return home to stand as best man to her fiancé.

He’ll be back in my orbit for three whole weeks, but I can easily keep my distance. Sure, we’ll have to walk arm in arm down the aisle together, hold me close during the bridal party dance, and we’ll stand for pictures next to each other. Nothing I can’t handle.

I’m so naïve though, because he’s not in town for more than 24 hours before he knocks on my door. I should know by now that the two of us will never be finished business.

This second-chance romance spans 16 years of a true love match that proves these two will only ever belong to one another.

The wait was worth it!!! WOW!! ❤️

I didn’t want this story to end but it ended with the HEA we were dying for!!! I have loved the Baileys and the Greene family from the start. This book gives us little snippets of back in past books where we saw these two start their love/hate relationship.
I loved that the seniors still got involved with the match making and even the next generation!! So many perfect little moments. I’m not going to lie though. I cried pretty hard during the last chapter. But so worth it!!
Again just like these two series they gave us something so exciting to look forward to in this next book!! Can’t wait for the next one!!
Also the narration was fantastic!! I’m so thankful for audiobooks or I would’ve missed on these amazing series! 🥰

Amazing! PR Delivers in this long-awaited story!

Oh my goodness! This was the story we've been waiting for and more.

It has nostalgia, with flashbacks to scenes we only got glimpses of in previous books as we watched Rylan and Calista grow up.

It had plenty of new story too. Watching one of them want the second chance and one of them fight it because they thought that'd be best.

It had so many moments of heartache and tears, but also so much laughter! It was also so great to see and hear from so many of the other Bailey and Greene family members. Hank and Marla have always been the compass for their kids, that didn't stop with Rylan. And Rome, Calista's dad was my favorite Bailey, so I love watching him as a dad with his grown children. ❤️

Narration was spot on. Erin and Joe do wonderful, both showing the depth of three characters emotion and love for each other.

ysyy to Joe and Erin.

Joe and Erin are simply delightful in this heartwarming story about love lost and love won. The two together truly are wonderful!

Full gambit of emotions

Easy to read , fell In love with the characters. So worthy of wine, bubble bath, book night!

Lovely from the beginning

This story has been building for some time. We have seen glimpses of it over the years through other books. Finally being able to read/listen to their story is so satisfying and so sweet.

Recommended

I enjoyed the premise of this story. It did, however seem to go on and on. Calista was stuck & it seemed the story was with her. She lost her future & couldn't get beyond that. I felt the story could have been told much quicker without so much drama that didn't really progress the story.

The narration was wonderful. I have heard both before. Erin Mallon has such a distictive voice & way of talking, I kept remembering other characters she played.

couldn't put it down

Loved this! can't wait for the next book, love all these characters. Next please!

Swoony second chance

I absolutely love love love Piper Rayne, I devour every single one of their stories! Their books have a way of pulling me in and not letting go. And this book was no different.

Calista and Rylan were always meant to be together, they just had to both realize that. The pull they had towards each other was soo strong. They couldn’t stay away. The love they have is epic. You could feel them fighting themselves, fighting each other and fighting their hearts but it would never work. Their connection is too strong.

Joe and Erin did an epic job giving voice to Rylan and Calista. You could feel the love, the anguish, and the fear. It felt so real and raw. Their emotions came through my headphones. It made me want to cry and jump for joy the entire time. Epic story, epic narrators, epic performance.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a feel good, small town, second chance romance.

A must read! Loved it loved it I loved it!

This book had it all! This come back love story had just enough angst in it. Just the right amount of swoon, and I wish the standard of narration would be the duet format in this book. You will not regret!

Awesome story!

This book was great. I didn’t think the two characters where ever going to get together. Joe Arden and Erin Mallon are fantastic together as always. I hope there will be a book 2.
