Any additional comments?

Unchained Melody is a novella of second chances. Marshall “Dallas” Chandler spends the eve before his first assignment, as a fighter pilot with the United States Air Force, with a woman that changes his life and haunts his dreams. A decade later will he get his second chance with this woman he hasn’t been able to forget or will tragedy strike?
This is my first experience with this author and the audio version of the story. Being that the book is a novella, this was a quick story to listen to and when it ended I wanted more. The author packs a lot of information in such a short story. I want to know more about Dallas and hope we will get more to his story. For the very quick hour it takes to listen to this book, it covers ten years of events in Chandler’s life, along with a few steamy sex scenes. There are also several surprises along the way making it surprising that it is a novella. I will be looking for more works by this author.
Audio books have become something that I’ve started venturing into recently, because of my added time in the car. Not only was the book really great, but the narrator does an excellent job in keeping the listener wanting to hear more. I found the narrator's interpretation of this story with his inflections and pauses were great at holding my attention. You can feel all the emotions that Dallas is experiencing during this story as the story is effortless read.
The narrator was able to keep my daily drive less stressful. I will be looking for other works this narrator has read. I am looking forward to finding more from this author and this narrator.

Quick Read with lots of emotion

Being an airforce pilot on his way to war, Lieutenant Marshall "Dallas" Chandler was set to enjoy his last day before leaving to war. That enjoyment came in the form of Lieutenant Melanie Carmichael. They had explosive chemistry and truly got along.
But that one night stand left its impact of the pair. They both went through changes during the 10 years after that night. The ups and downs that Marshall went through took us through how he coped with being away from the one woman that he felt was meant for him.

The story was short and sweet. There were a lot of details on what Marshall had been up to since he was last with Melanie. This was fun to listen to.

I received the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Any additional comments?

Unchained Melody by R.E. Hargrave was a great quick read. Marshall and Melody's story is on that I believe many people can relate to. Marshall always thought Melody was the one woman who may have gotten away even though there was nothing he could do. It takes him a decade and many mistakes to make changes for the positive. I loved reading this story it was a great read. I can't wait to read more by R.E. Hargrave.

Short Story

This is a second chance novella. Marshall and Melody share an instant attraction and after years separated, they got their happy ending. The narration was well done. La Petite Mort has a great and sexy voice.
