Combustion

First Love, Second Chance

By: Julie L. Spencer

Narrated by: Julie L. Spencer

Kaelen is the perfect boyfriend. Smart, athletic, attentive, and willing to keep their secret.

Abigail is the only girl at his high school smarter than him. With his 165 IQ, he can talk to her about anything; science, math, social issues...chemistry.

He just can’t date her.

Until the day he gives up trying to pretend he isn’t in love and the chemical equation that burns between them gets too hot to ignore.

Kaelen learns the hard way what happens when you play with fire, and Abigail pays the price. But she isn’t the only victim that night. Devastated that he hurt the girl he loves, Kaelen pleads guilty and faces the punishment he feels he deserves.

Five years and one prison sentence later, Kaelen and Abigail can’t ignore the evidence of that one tragic night, and they can’t ignore the fire that still threatens all their plans for a future together.

Tough topic. but worth listening to

This book might have triggers for some people, so be aware. This was tough listening to the story and the consequences for the actions of two kids.

This story was well written and there are lessons that can be taken away. I do recommend listening if this qill not be a trigger for you.

My favorite book!

I may be biased (double biased) but I love this book. It's probably my favorite book I've ever written. This is the story that needed to be told. No, it's not autobiographical (thankfully) but the premise originated from something that happened to someone I know (all names changed to protect the innocent... and the not-so-innocent). To survivors everywhere: thank you for waking up today. Some days are easier than others but every day has potential. The story of your life is not done being written. Each day is a new page. Pick up your proverbial pen and keep writing. Love, Julie
