Second Time Around

De: Melody Carlson

Narrado por: Stephanie Cozart

Who doesn't love a second chance?

When empty nester Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Seaport, Oregon, it seems the only sensible thing to do is to sell it. But when her former secret crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the property in order to complete his plans to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels and decides to renovate the property herself.

With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home décor shop called Romancing the Home—all while trying to ignore the depressing and decrepit apartment she's living in on the second floor. When the shop catches the eye of a popular renovation TV show producer, Mallory is thrilled—until it becomes clear that her apartment is to be part of the segment as well.

She's tempted to abandon her dreams and the town under a cloud of shame. But perhaps there's more to Grayson than meets the eye. Can he swallow his pride, change his plans, and help Mallory romance her own home—and possibly her life?

Cute story, irritating narrator.

I love Melody Carlson's writing. This story was fun. But the narrator is annoying. She reads so slow, like she's reading to children. And she emphasizes words weirdly.

Sweet

This was a sweet story and I’m always on the search for Christian listens. Someone commented that the narrator was slow. I liked the clear voice of the narrator and just sped it up a little.

Couldn’t finish

Narrator wasn’t my cup of tea, even when I sped it up. appreciate the author though.
