About this listen
A country-music star returns home to win back the woman he loves in this charming holiday novella from New York Times best-selling author Shannon Stacey.
Ava Wright isn't happy to see her high school sweetheart rolling into their hometown a few weeks before Christmas. He's only come back to bury his estranged father, but there's no way she'll be able to avoid him. No one can: He's become a country-music superstar since going solo and leaving Ava behind.
Jace Morrow grew up believing "money can't buy happiness" was something people said to make themselves feel better. But now he knows it's the truth: No matter how many number-one hits he has, he'll never recapture the magic of singing with Ava. Missing her - loving her - and living with making the wrong choice in life were what made him who he is.
When Jace is roped into being part of the town's annual Christmas party, he cares only about earning Ava's forgiveness. And though Ava's heart has never healed, she loved Jace too much and for too long to shut him out when he's hurting. As they fall in love all over again, they're both faced with choices for their future...and this time Jace intends to make the right one.
This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you're looking for with an HEA/HFN. It's a promise!

Story
Christina Forrester is starting over. After a financial scandal sent her ex-husband to prison, she's left raising her young son without any of the comforts of their old life.

But when Gail's son comes home, Christina's vow to never trust a man again is put to the test.

Romantic listen
Shannon Stacey can write romance so beautifully. This second chance romance is the perfect length as we meet Ava and Jace. 6 years ago, Jace left Ava in their hometown to seek his chance at fame and fortune. All their lives, they planned on writing songs and singing together, but when opportunity knocked, Jace answered it! Now he has come home and wants Ava back. Does she still love him? Will she be able to forgive and trust him again? Will they be able to write beautiful music together? I love Shannon's stories, they are full of romance, a little angst and a lot of passion. Ava is a great character, easy to relate to and you can feel her broken heart. Getting to Jace gives you that warm feeling of undying love, regret and wanting him to find his redemption.I loved this quick novella, it is fun, flirty and gives that heart warming feel.
Samantha Cook is always perfect during her performances. I love her voices, ability to switch to male characters with ease and always gives all the feels. Her portrayal of this couple is spot on with just the right amounts of sadness, passion and happiness.
