Publisher's Summary

A second chance he didn't see coming...

Wes was born with a competitive streak. Ever since he could walk, he's made it a point to never lose.

And he never did, until his girlfriend left him senior year of college, and his professional sports career tanked.

Four years later, the last thing Wes needs as he prepares for the game of his life is his ex-girlfriend sauntering into his resort on the arm of her new fiancé. Then again, this might be Wes' opportunity to win back what he's lost.

Because if there's a chance Wes was wrong about Kaylee and she really had loved him, maybe he can break his mental block and win back his game - and the girl.

Zachary Webber narrating-really, need I say more?

Good story, sweet characters. the epitome of, If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.
The best thing a man can do for his children is to love their mother, and Wes did.

Wes and Kaylee

Literally picking up where book 1 left off (the epilogue in book one is told through Wes' POV), we now follow Wes and Kaylee's story. They were in love in college and when Kaylee dumps Wes unexpectedly, his golfing career tanks and he blames her for it. Now, years later, Wes is the "golf pro" at the family's luxury resort and guess who shows up to get married on the premises? Yup, Kaylee. And her douchy fiancé enlists the resort's golf pro for lessons so she can play in their honeymoon! 

But when Wes and his brothers catch Kaylee's fiancé cheating on her, he can't keep it from her. Now, with her engagement off and the wedding cancelled, Wes sees this as another chance - a chance to find out what happened, why Kaylee hurt him so much. 

Definitely an improvement from book 1, we get a more developed storyline. Even though the conflicts are solved rather quickly and we have the good ole "miscommunication plot device" for most of the book, you get invested in Kaylee and Wes. The secret she was keeping from him and the surprise little twist can be spotted from a mile away by any romance reader, though. We get the father's letter at the end and an epilogue that introduces Bran's story. 

Narration: This is an ok book again saved by the immense talent of Susannah Jones and Zachary Webber. ZW gets to play the four different brothers in a conversation at the same time and you can tell who's who. He also gets to do little Bella's voice and it's just adorable. His female voices are also unbelievably believable. So, for this, it was a good time. 

Possible triggers (spoilerish): surprise pregnancy, miscarriage and cheating (not MCs)

Brothers

So glad you continued this series covering all the brothers! Thank you for not leaving me hanging!!

terrible heroine

I hate the heroine of this book. west was great but callie annoyed me and made me wish wes had a better woman

Another Cade brother

Loved Wes’s story... afterall it’s about second chances... and everyone has a long lost love they still dream about. I was disappointed on the part of the story that was not addressed at the end and it wasn’t mentioned in the epilogue.

Love these Cade brothers!!

I adore Zachary Webber and if he continues to narrate the respective Cade Brother in the next book then I am in!! And seriously, these audible book covers are killin' me...these men are hot 🔥🔥🔥 lol
