Carson

Second Chance Series, Book 3

By: S.M. Stryker

Narrated by: Nicholas Donald Malcolm

From Amazon best-selling author S.M. Stryker comes an emotionally riveting romantic suspense about first loves, best friends, and second chances.

Have you ever found the love of your life, then lost them over a misunderstanding? Have you ever had a dream just at the tips of your fingertip and watched as it slipped between them, lost forever? Have you ever had a dream ripped out of your hands, only to be given another dream - a dream you were never expecting? You never think you’ll love again, but life thinks differently. Then, life throws you two more curveballs.

All Charlie ever wanted to do was play softball in college. She’d worked her whole young life for it and finally made it. The only problem? It’s on the other side of the country. To keep her dream alive, she does the only thing she can. She moves. But, when Charlie refuses to party and drink with her teammates, she’s accused of not being a team player. There’s no way she’d jeopardize her scholarship. Charlie will walk away from anyone who can ruin her dream.

Carson is on his own. Born into wealth, his parents have other priorities that don’t include him. Carson is smart, and after graduating at sixteen, he decides to travel the United States. He’s never believed in relationships; who needs the drama? That is until he runs into Charlie. She’s different. She’s special. And he knows it from the start.

As their friendship intensifies, they become inseparable, spending all their free time together. That is, until a misunderstanding. The one thing that throws a curve ball into the mix.

Will Charlie’s dream slip through her fingertips, or can she catch the ball?

Carson and Charlie

This story continues the world started by Beckett, with sine new insight and some concurrent scenes. Can be a little difficult at times to distinguish between timelines or repetition, but still quite enjoyable read/ listen.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Great listen.

I liked the characters. The story is well told. Threw me off though when it from Charlie to Zane then Zane again. I was expecting it to go boy girl boy girl. But otherwise. I loved the story.

love it

I love how S. M. Stryker is continuing this series. How the characters are interconnected from the previous stories. This is Carson and Charlie's story. How their friendship develops and then crashes, because of a misunderstanding. There is plenty of suspense, drama, twists and romance, to keep the story interesting.
 Nicholas Donald Malcolm does a wonderful narration. .He flawlessly changes in between characters giving each their own voice and personality. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.

A very well written angsty story. There are ups and downs and misunderstandings along the way.

Perfect!

Another exceptionally well-written second chance romance by S.M. Stryke. The series gets better and better with each installment. Stryker has paid particular attention to her character development, as they are uniquely complex and compelling. The storyline is poignant, exquisitely descriptive, heart-wrenching, and utterly engaging. I was completely enthralled by this beautifully written love story about two young people trying to figure out life at a critical point in their lives.

Nicholas Donald Malcolm does an outstanding job with the narration. He portrays Charlie, and Carson's personalities, and emotions flawlessly, breathing life into the characters. This was definitely an enjoyable listen and, I strongly recommend it.
