Beckett

Second Chance, Book 1

De: SM Stryker

Narrado por: Nicholas Donald Malcolm

From Amazon best-selling author SM Stryker comes an emotionally riveting, romantic suspense, about first loves, best friends, and second chances.

Could you ever believe in second chances? Have you ever wanted something so bad that when it's gone, you never forgot it? You longed for it; everything you do is in preparation to have it again, but this time you won't let it go.

As a child, Beckett was tormented by the one person that was supposed to love him unconditionally...but, that's only in fairy tales.

When the girl next door showed him there was more to life than what he's grown up knowing, he finds his solace in her; his first love, Harlow Girl.

But at 12, he's forced to move, and in a fit of rage, his mother spitefully and viciously destroys all his belongings including all of Harlow Girl's contact information, inevitably losing all contact with her.

Breaking his promise.

The only thing he has to live and strive for is her. Everything he does in his life is for her. To maybe find her again and make her his.

But this isn’t a fairy tale…or is it?

Excellent story!!!

I really liked this story! I loved Beckett from the beginning... his mother was horrible.. Harlow took great care of him, as well as her parents.

This is a good book.. I would recommend it to anyone.

Nicholas Donald Malcolm is a new narrator for me. His voice is pleasant. For me, however, the way he read the story was not as pleasant. It seemed like the reading was rushed. That was difficult for me.

Love sometimes hurts and sometimes heals

In true second chance fashion the tale of Beckett and Harlow starts off with Harlow becoming Beckett's savior when childhood abuse becomes too much to deal with on his own. Next comes their separation and moving on with their own lives always missing their other half. And ends in a heart warming fashion filled with action, suspense, drama and honest emotions. I can honestly say I was locked in from the beginning and held my breath through most of the storyline. Nicholas Donald Murphy brought the characters to life and made the story very entertaining. Second chances always mean more when the characters are so lovable and true. Cannot wait for more in the series.

Harlow & Beckett

There is nothing better than a second chance romance where the couple has known each other since childhood. Beckett met Harlow when he was 6, and with a mother who could care less about him was taken under the wing of his friend Harlow and her family. When he was uprooted, and eventually lost touch, their childhood love for each other did not die. Now that they are reunited, will that spark still be there? I loved this book from start to finish. It starts out heartbreaking when we hear about Beckett and I wasn't sure where this was going to go. Beckett is a little dark, and has some issues, but you can't help but want to fix him up. He is broken, yet lovable. Harlow is a rock for him, though there are times I was completely frustrated by her. I did love her personality and loving way she loved him, both as a child and as a man. There are some complex problems, they need to overcome, as in SM Stryker fashion, she adds a little suspense to give your heart that thrill. It's a great listen.

This is my first listen by Nicholas Donald Malcolm and I loved his voice. He has a deep, rich sound and is wonderful as Beckett. He can be emotional and strong at the same time. He also switched between male and female voices with ease and made the listen very enjoyable.

Second chance romance

This is the first time that I have read anything from this author. I really enjoyed the storyline and the narrator.

Second chance at love

Young love lost then reconnected years later. Is it possible for that love to still be there and grow? A great listen.
