À propos de cet audio
From New York Times best-selling author, Corinne Michaels, comes a new heartwarming standalone romance.
I'm getting really good at cutting my losses.
First, the husband. Divorcing him was the best decision I ever made. But between single-parenting and job-hunting, I can't catch my breath. When a celebrity blogging position falls into my lap, I'm determined to succeed.
That is, until I get my first assignment and actually see Noah Frazier for the first time...practically naked and dripping wet. My heart races and I forget how to form complete sentences. His chiseled abs, irresistible smirk, and crystal blue eyes are too perfect to be real. So, what do I do? Get drunk and humiliate myself, of course.
I'm ready to forget the awkward night, yet Noah has no intention of allowing me to move on. Instead, he arranges for me to write a feature on him, ensuring a lot more time together. One embarrassing moment after another, one kiss after another, and before I can stop myself, I realize - I'm falling in love with him.
But when the unthinkable happens, can I even blame him for cutting his losses?
What I wouldn't give for just one last time....

Histoire
I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman. I'm especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh. However, that's exactly where I find myself. What's a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can.

Histoire
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

One word. Stay. It was all he had to do. Instead, he got on that bus and took my heart with him. That was 17 years ago. I moved on. Marriage. Kids. White picket fence. Everything I ever wanted, but my husband betrayed me and I was left once again.

At 18, I walked away from Willow Creek Valley for good. I was young, scared, and stupid, and it cost me the love of my life - Grayson Parkerson. Fourteen years later, a crash sends me back home to recover. Back to where we met, fell in love, and planned a future. Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine. I’m not the girl I was - intimidated by his wealthy family and desperate to escape our small town. How can I convince him to give first love a second chance?

Histoire
In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

In one second, my life disappeared. My past. My memories. My future. The only certainty I have from the last three years is that my older brother is dead and that I am the only eyewitness. In order to protect the case, the lawyers demand no one give me any information about my life...I must remember on my own. My only help comes from my brother’s best friend and world-renowned investigative reporter Spencer Cross. He has no idea how many nights I’ve spent dreaming of his name—and his body—next to mine. Each day we spend together, I find it harder to want my old life back.

It was the summer of my life. I’d met the guy of my dreams. Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer - and very much off-limits. But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful. He never treated me as his mother did - like hired help. Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

Men suck. They break you. Leave you. Take everything until there's nothing left. And frankly, I'm done allowing them to make me feel insignificant. So, forget men. I'll just throw myself into my job, because at least that never fails me. Jackson has other plans, though. I refuse to be impressed by his perfect body, the cute dimple on his cheek, or the rugged stubble on his face. Jackson Cole can be resisted. But, I'm only fooling myself. He's going to wear me down. I can feel it. In the end he'll prove that once again, I'm no one's beloved.

Laurel Lake held the title America’s Friendliest Town for seventeen years running, and friendly was just what I needed right now. Unfortunately, friendly wasn’t the welcome I got when I arrived. Instead, I got Fox Cassidy. My tall, dark, and burly neighbor, who grunted at me instead of saying hello. Okay, so I might’ve had his mailbox in my hands the first time we met. And it might’ve been a little crushed after removing it from under my tire. And I might’ve needed his help breaking into the place I was staying in after the key broke off in the lock.

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

Rule number one for a professional matchmaker? Don’t fall in love with your client. I screwed that up when I fell for my best friend, Reid Fortino. He’s gorgeous, successful, and sexy as hell. I figured it would be easy to find him a match - and save the family business at the same time. But the more time I spend attempting to find the perfect girl, the more I realize how much I want him for my own.

Lovely story of a second chance
I loved this story so much even though it brought back bad memories of my past.
I lived Chris’s married life almost to the T. I felt the same way she did through out this story.
It is amazing she found a man to make her feel like her husband should have. I’m still looking.
This I know is only a story but someday I hope we ALL find a love like theirs.
Of course these narrators complement each other so well.
This second book was just as great as the first in the Second Time Around series

Definitely one to listen to
One Last Time
Written by: Corinne Michaels
Narrated by: Andi Arndt & Sebastian York
After listening to book one of this series, I had no choice, I had to listen to One Last Time.
Corinne Michaels did a superb job of dealing with divorce and co-parenting when children are a big part of a story. A family break up is not an easy thing and I understood exactly where Kristen was coming from in One Last Time. With her soon to be ex husband is being an ass and still getting use to her life as a single mother, probably the last thing she needed was Noah coming into her life, but he did and she liked him and there was no way to avoid him when she was assigned to interview him for the online celebrity blog she worked for. That and the fact he is Eli Walsh’s best friend and maybe just maybe Heather is hoping Noah and Kristen might click. So it’s with two children, one nasty almost ex and a TV star, Kristen takes the first, second and third steps into a new relationship.
Add to this amazing 5 star story the talented Andi Arndt and Sebastian York who give Kristen and Noah voices and life. From their first meeting, through Kristen’s final divorce hearing and an incident that separates them, listeners live right along side Noah and Kristen and her kids. Add in Kristen’s crazy but caring friends and this is one that should be listened to!

Going to have to read this one again!
I really loved the overarching story, and Noah's past made me cry. I can't wait to hear all about their other friends in their own stories. The characters were so fleshed out and real, they reminded me of me and my sisters.

I love a great comeback story. And with Andi Arndt and Sebastian York reading, how could this not be awesome? Those two could make my grocery list sound sexy! I love that this MC has kids and the way Corinne Michaels shows parenting like it really is. I'm endeared and looking forward to discovering more of her work. #Audible1

Cute story and characters, but
The problematic themes sort of ruined it for me: thin blue line, Harry Potter references, and slut-shaming. Otherwise, I did really like the characters and narration though.
