Second Chance Summer

De: Jill Shalvis

Narrado por: Karen White

Don't miss this unforgettable New York Times bestseller about sisters, loss, and the search for home that Library Journal calls "a hands-down winner!"

Lily Danville's life is crumbling around her. With no money and no home, her only choice is to go back to the one town she swore she'd never see again: Cedar Ridge, Colorado. Back to the memories of her sister's tragic death. Back to the place where, ten years ago, she shared an unforgettable kiss with Aidan Kincaid-the man her sister once loved.

A new job at the town's hottest resort is just the fresh start Lily has been looking for...until she discovers the resort is owned by none other than the Kincaid family. How can she possibly see Aidan every day without feeling as if she's betraying her sister?

But as secrets from the past come to light and Lily starts to realize the truth, she can only hope it's not too late to find love, family, and forgiveness.

Returning home

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I like Jill Shalvis books and this is no exception.The story has good flow and a nice plot. The connection between the family members makes you want to hear all of their stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think Lily , since she has human flaws (junk food addiction) and a really big heart.

What does Karen White bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a really good job of making you feel like different people are involved instead of just one person. Some narrator read the story and others put you in the story. She's one of the latter.

another awesome book by Jill Shalvis

Would you be willing to try another one of Karen White’s performances?

yes and no. i think she is an excellent narrator. however, i am beginning to hear adam, del, and brady all the time. time for a new voice for new series.

I want to move to Cedar Ridge!

After absolutely devouring the Wildstone series, I was super excited to read more from Jill Shalvis and her Cedar Ridge series seemed a perfect next step - it's features another small town setting and is also connected by the Kincaid siblings that each book features. While I didn't enjoy Second Chance Summer as much as any of the Wildstone books, I did still really like it. Not only do we get to meet the Kincaids and experience their fantastic familial relationships, we get low angst, great steam, and realistically complicated second-chance romance. I'll admit, the relationship did seem sort of low stakes, but it was still a fun ride and the Kincaids' antics are well worth the price of admission. I'm looking forward to getting Hudson's HEA next! 3.5 out of 5 wine glasses.
