Unexpected exciting and lots of turns

Wow! I had to force myself to stop listening (listen with 1.2 or faster for natural pace). Chandler and Moses have such an exciting build up of their relationship ! I can’t write more because I don’t want to spoil it. I was also happy to have Monet and Reese (first book of Carlotta Ardell) make a reappearance. However, it’s not necessary to read the first book to get into the second. I love the passion in this book and I usually prefer sci-fi, fantasy, or horror. So, this was a pleasant surprise and I can’t wait for the next amazing book of Carlotta Ardell!

Engaging and fun story!

Inspiring and real characters facing modern relationship challenges. Pulls you in and you keep cheering for the growth of the two main characters.

OVERALL GOOD STORY

Chandler Gray and Moses Lawson a complicated relationship. Chandler a Nurse and Moses a Firefighter. They met and started a non-commitment relationship until Chandler developed deeper feelings and wanted more out the relationship, but Moses refused because of instability to commit to a relationship. Fast forward a few years, Chandler is divorced with a little girl and Moses is in a motorcycle accident and needs a nurse and this is where they reconnect. Although Moses loves Chandler and want to develop a meaningful relationship, but there are concerns that they both need to work through.
I received the audio from the author and my honest opinion, the story and characters are well developed. I did not care for the narration, it seemed unimaginative for me, and I think I would have enjoyed the story more by reading it versus listening to the audio. I think this book is great for new readers or anyone getting into reading. It is wholesome with a meaningful romance showing love amid chaos, forgiving and how everything happens for a reason. I give this story 3 out of 5-star rating.

🖤🖤🖤

This was my first novel by Carlotta Ardell, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved that Chandler never compromised her career for others' expectations of her, and Moses actually matured during their time apart. I also loved the fact that these characters lead "everyday lives", so they're relatable, and they dealt with topics that are very relevant in the Black community. Since I read these books out of order, I'm looking forward to reading book one. I recommend this book if you're looking for a cute, wholesome romance

Third Time's a Charm

This was my first exposure to the work by Carlotta, and I must say it was an excellent listen. The narrators were very good, as well; although, the tempo was slow - it was fine when I kicked it up a notch. Initially, Moses and Chandler were on the same page as far as what would transpire in their relationship - basically no strings attached. However, feelings came into play; while evident in Chandler, Moses didn't want to admit it until Chandler made it clear with her ultimatum. Unfortunately, Moses had to experience tragedy to be ready for Chandler, but even then it wasn't time - after some significant life changes. The perfect timing wasn't so perfect. When Chandler thought it was the end between Moses and her, it wasn't and I was so glad at their reunion. We shouldn't have to settle, even if it seems like the right thing to do. Was happy to see that Moses faced his demons, opened up to heal considering what he went through. It will definitely contribute to a successful relationship.
