Like First Love, Again

By: J.J. Arias

Narrated by: Kingsley Rose

When the one who got away comes back...

Real estate broker Tori Cruz has spent years building a life of structure and control—keeping her heart, and her past, carefully locked away. But when Mia Falcon, her childhood best friend and secret first love, crashes back into her life after fourteen years apart, everything Tori thought she buried comes rushing back.

Mia didn't mean to find Tori again. She definitely didn't mean to want her. Divorcing, grieving, and lost, Mia only wanted help selling her mother's house. She wasn't prepared for feelings she never dared name to come rushing back—hotter, deeper, and far more dangerous than before.

Back together, and it's like no time has passed. And when Mia realizes that home isn't a place—it's a person—she knows she can't walk away again.

Old feelings resurface. New ones spark. And some loves? They never die. They wait.

A steamy, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance full of heart, heat, and second chances.

Their connection in the stroy line!

How much breath and desperation the voice over artist used. I believe it called for it at times but not all the time. Otherwise the story was great!

All the stars

I’m still smiling. I started smiling on the first page and didn’t stop until the last. I laughed out loud so many times. The spice, it was spicing. And don’t even get me started on Kingsley Rose’s sultry seductive voice. I don’t think any other voice would do J.J. Arias characters justice. It’s always the perfect combo. I think I’ve fallen in love with almost all of this authors sassy ladies but Tori and Mia top my list. I will definitely be revisiting them again and again in the future and I’ve only just finished it but I already know the book hangover is going to be astronomical.

JJ Arias does it again!

I loved this story. The yearning was perfect. Mia's pain and realization felt so real, and Tori is a dream boat. Plus with the narration by the great Kingsley Rose you won't regret this listen.

Crushing on love you can barely breathe

Well written, great characters, a story many of us have lived can sometimes inspire us to try again.

Loved this book. It was so smooth and engaging. The way my mouth dropped when the reference to the jelly filled girls dropped and dawning hit me. Spice was 🔥🔥
