The Second Time Around

A Small Town Second Chance Romance

By: Kelly Collins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A jilted bride. The man who left her at the altar. And two crumbling resorts that put them next door to each other.

Brie Watkins sold her house, quit her job, and drove to Willow Bay because her Aunt Em said she was ailing and needed help at the family resort. What Brie finds when she arrives: her aunt is perfectly healthy, The Brown Resort is thriving, and the man who left her at the altar years ago is living next door, rebuilding his family’s crumbling resort, and looking like he never left.

Aunt Em has some explaining to do.

Carpenter Carter Kessler came back to Willow Bay for one reason: his father died and left The Kessler Resort in shambles. He didn’t expect Brie to be next door. He didn’t expect her to still take his breath away. And he definitely didn’t expect her to lay down three rules the first time they spoke: they aren’t friends, they’ll never be lovers, and she’ll never stop hating him.

As far as Carter is concerned, it’s a start.

When he talks Brie into helping with the renovation, proximity does what time couldn’t. But the family secrets that drove Carter away haven’t stayed buried, and Brie lost one man already. Trusting the one who shattered her first is the biggest risk she’s ever taken.

Sweet story but…

The story was sweet, but the narration was very robotic! It was hard to listen to, but I wanted to finish.
