Second Half

Coach's Shadow Trilogy, Book 1

By: Monica DeSimone

Narrated by: Holly Holt

Eight years ago, Derrick Henderickson chose his career over his heart, not just hurting the woman he loved, but breaking her completely.

Zoey McEvoy was left shattered. Piece by piece, she’s rebuilt herself to become the strong, independent woman she is today.

Now, the sexy bad boy of the NFL is back. And he’s determined to reclaim her heart. Zoey barley survived losing him once; she’d be decimated if he walked away again.

With so much on the line, does Derrick stand a chance of winning the second half?

Good Read

This was a good book, and I had to see where this story went. You could physically feel the connection between Zoey and Derrick. This is heartache, betrayal, soul deep love and redemption I this book. I love a good Second Chance Romance and this did not disappoint. Monica also hit on some hard issues people have to deal with in real life as well as giving us an HEA.

Love-hate sports romance

I enjoyed the audiobook overall even though there were some quality issues with the sound and narration. There are quite a few spots that 3-5 words are halted and repeated before continuing which made it a bit herky jerky. I thought the characters were well played out and had some real life issues that the author handled well.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Love It!!!

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It’s really good from start to finish. Really emotional, with everything that Zoey went through. I did have mix feelings for Derrick at one point, but then I was Team Derrick. Overall wonderful story!!

Big drama and love

This book keept me from first minute. deep feelings loads of old hurt from the past. you feel the hurt in the heroines heart. I didn't want her to forgive the guy for me what he did was to bad to ever forgive.
I really didn't want to go to bed last night I wanted to know what happened next.
The story is well written and the author gets deep into the characters. you feel like you know them and want to screem and cry with them.
The narrator is good.
once or twice some repeat of the text but only few words and nothing to be annoyed about.
I can't wait to listen to next book.

3.5 Stars

Zoey suffers from depression and trust issues. She also attempted suicide. All this was the result of Derrick leaving her. I did not like Derrick, I thought he was a bully. On the other hand, Zoey’s friends were very supportive of her.
