A Second Chance Love Story

I read this story a long time ago…and it not only drew me to A L Jackson…but it has a memorable place in my mind…when you read it, or listen to it, you will truly understand. I loved everything about this story. They are star-crossed lovers who find each other at the end, each having experienced first love together that they believed was forever..with souls that cannot be touched by another. Then tragedy. But their love goes beyond that tragedy and they find each other again. The pull that each of them feels for each other..and for the little boy that finds his way into their hearts is so touching. Never a book to be shelved for long..and always a favorite to reread or relisten to..

Hope is Not Lost!

I loved this heart retching book of hopelessness restored. Its a story of true love & heartbreak. Some might find it sappy, but I loved how their lives came full circle. I will listen to this one again. If your a true Romantic, you will love it.

Loved this story

Love this story. Recommend reading. Love Daniel and Melanie!!!I hope you all enjoyed this book as much as I did.

I finally got to listen to Amy’s first book

Amy is a great writer from book 1 It was great hearing Andi as well Loved it

Great story!

Good book, wonderful story line, but the narration was hard to listen too. It was hard to tell which character was being read.

loved this

such a good book. I have it in paperback as well and it is definitely one to reread ♡

I'm on the fence

SPOILER ALERTS

I waited quite a while before deciding to purchase this book because of the mixed reviews. After listening to the book I can see both strength & weaknesses. I enjoyed listening to this book and it pulled out many different emotions from me as the story unfolded. I felt for the young couple who first experiences love and heartache. I hated how Melanie and Daniel gave up so easily on each other and Melanie's marriage made my stomach sour. I hated how Melanie and her parent's relationship fell apart so easily and I hated they had been left out in the cold throughout the entire pregnancy. And overall I yearned for the 2 lovers to find their way back to each other.

The thing that I didn't like about this book was the infidelity and how so many people accepted it. Especially given that Melanie's husband was abusive. She was so naive and how did no one in her life stand up to her and give her a dose of reality on what happens to spouses of abusers? That was the point that this story went down hill so far for me.

This story became a ticking time bomb when Daniel and Melanie resumed their relationship without ending the marriage. I can get past my personal feelings on the subject but this what the point in the story that the book became very implausible for me.

I don't know that I would recommend this book to others.

5 STARS THAT PULLED ME IN!

This was a great second chance book. Daniel and Melanie had to go though some pain and heartache before they could finally get to their HEA. I loved the closeness of Daniel's family.

Very Good!

This was a wonderful story of young love that lasts for life. The narrator did a good job. At first you feel her soft high pitch will wear on you but as you continue it fits the character of Melanie. All in all it was a very beautiful story that brought a tear here and there.

Not What I Expected

When I saw the mixed reviews and especially so many negative ones, I dismissed them. It’s A. L. Jackson after all. And Andi Ardnt. But gosh, I should have listened. Overly dramatic. Unrealistic. Depressing. Predictable. Frustrating. There were times I was drawn into the story but often found myself bored…scrolling through the pages to get through faster. I’ve only been listening with Audible for a few years. Arndt was obviously much greener when this came out. Even her regular voice sounds a bit different now. And there's almost no differentiation in this particular audio between her female and male voices. Wouldn’t be so bad if there was a male narrator for the H’s POV. I was confused any time I had to pause. Where were we? Whose POV am I listening to? Just a huge let down. Pass on this one.
