Small-Town Secrets

Second Chances, Book 2

By: Ann-Katrin Byrde

Narrated by: John Solo

Everyone has a secret. Laurence has two. The father of his twin boys isn't who everybody thinks it is, but after escaping his abusive ex-husband and spending months in therapy, Laurence is done putting his trust in alphas. He's going to build a new future for himself and his sons, and he's going to do it all by himself.

Except that emergency substitute karate teacher instructing his twins? That's the alpha he spent a reckless night with in his youth. His best friend's big brother. His lifelong crush...and the twins' actual father.

When Laurence returns to Oceanport visibly scarred, Aaron feels guilty. Maybe if he had admitted to his crush, Laurence wouldn’t have gotten together with the bastard who treated him so badly. But Aaron has always had the hardest time facing his feelings for the younger omega. After all, who sleeps with their baby brother’s best friend?

Now that they’re both adults, Aaron wants nothing more than to take care of Laurence and give them another shot, but he can’t shake the feeling that there’s something the omega is hiding from him and the secrets Laurence is keeping might just be bigger than anything he ever imagined possible.

loved It!!!

Amazing addition the Second Chances series, Small-Town Secrets captured my heart. Best friends' brother, secret babies, adorable dogs and kids, protective and caring Alpha and a strong omega survivor... This book delivered on all fronts. Funny, sweet, and perfect. Definitely recommend.

Narration is done by John Solo. A fantastic job. The characters really stand out in their personalities. Easy to lose self in story. great job.

Such a sweet story!!

I just love this so much!! I love Laurence and Aaron so much! This is just another amazing story from Ann-Katrin Byrde. Then for John Solo to do the narration is just prefect again. I just love how he brings this story more to life. Love it so much!

secrets Never Stay Secret

There's just something so relaxing about listening to an amazing story narrated by such a talented voice.

This is the story of Laurence, divorced omega dad of twin 7 yo boys and his teenage crush, Aaron. The men meet after years of no contact.

The characters are well developed. The storyline flows smoothly. There are precocious kids, smart dogs, cute puppies, secrets and more secrets.

Sweet Story

This was a very sweet story of an abused omega finally getting the family he truly deserves.

I'm so glad Laurence is finally with the right alpha. After everything he went through, it's amazing that he was still willing to take a chance on a former crush. What's even better is Aaron's desire to care for his omega, even when he takes on two boys that he thought belonged to someone else. When he discovers that Laurence's twins are actually his, he steps up even more to be a great dad (despite almost ruining Christmas).

As always, John has done a great job with another Oceanport story and I look forward to listening to him in the future.

Small-Town Secrets

Two men share a secret past but to Laurence there is more to the story. When he returns to his hometown, he finds the man of his dreams is still around and soon to be teaching his children. Can Laurence keep the truth from Aaron, or will the truth finally come out? Will the men act on their attraction and keep the children safe while giving them a family?

This is a sweet story about love and never giving up on it. Both Aaron and Laurence try so hard to deny their feelings and always thinking that the other is not interested. It full of emotions and good characters. I enjoyed seeing their relationship take shape and the way the children’s feelings were always taken into account and were not glossed over as just a happy ever after. It was nice to see the love of the whole family alongside the romance of Aaron and Laurence. Narrator John Solo does a great job of bringing these men to life and letting the emotions come through.
