Audiobook Review: Overall – 5 Performance – 5 Story – 5 Great second chance romance! I love it when first love romance gets a second chance and this was a great one. Walker and Ivy were high school sweethearts but Ivy left to follow her dream. They reconnect when Walker participates in a bachelor auction. This story was hot as 🔥 but also very sweet. I love how this author's series are interconnected. I think Tatiana Sokolov did a very good job performing the audiobook.
