Like First Love, Again

De: J.J. Arias

Narrado por: 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.

Beautiful writing.

Character development was consistent. Parts of the story were a little dragged out but the context was needed to explain certain complexities of the character. Be patient, slow burn for sure. But worth it.

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!

Fantastic Story & Excellent Writing

I really enjoyed the multidimensional characters and their thoughtful, developmental arc. The narrator did as great job, too. Highly recommend!

The Chemistry

This was awesome. I loved how Mia came to the realization that Tori really had a crush on her, and how she had always loved Tori. The banter back and forth was fantastic. The sex scenes were 🔥🔥🔥!!! Hats off to this author and the narrator.

Another great story

I really loved this one. I like that these books have a good bit of spice, it’s so necessary with how deep these relationships are. JJ Arias + Kingsley Rose do it again.
