Second chance romance in Jetty Beach

Overall - 5 stars; Performance - 4.5 stars; Story - 5 stars

If Claire Kingsley writes it, I know I will love it. She always delivers a well-written story that hooks me. Add Rock Engle and Emma Wilder's talented narration and you have a top-notch audiobook! They capture the emotions and transition their voices seamlessly from character to character.

Emma was devastated when Hunter unexpectedly left without a word after high school. 10 years later, she is back in Jetty Beach, trying to get back on her feet after her divorce from her narcissist jerk of an ex-husband. Hunter came home the year before after getting injured in the line of duty. Their chemistry is still going strong and they can't stay away. When Hunter determines he wants to win Emma back and makes his "mission list", it is sweet and funny.

Operation Get Her Back is a quick, fun, and steamy listen! While each book in the Jetty Beach series is a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading/listening to the other books in the series as well.

Second chance done right!

Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes, but it has to be really well written for me to find it believable. This one was exactly what I needed. It's the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. And I truly wanted to see Hunter and Emma back together... especially once I learned why he left in the first place!

Both Hunter and Emma are great characters. I could definitely hang out with them in real life. Hunter's determination to get Emma back was fantastic, but I also liked that Emma didn't immediately jump into a forever with him. They both changed a lot in the 10 years they were apart, so it was fun to watch them discover each other again while still feeling the spark that never really went away.

The story was fast paced and hard to put down. I needed to see how things would work out for them, and it was so satisfying when it did. There were several swoony sweet moments, but in true Kingsley fashion, they also knew how to bring the heat!

The narration was well done, and I can't wait for more from this series!

Hunter and Emma

I just finished a reread of this book and first time listening to it. I enjoyed this book it doesn't have a bunch of angst or drama which made the book even better for me. Being a Marine wife and mom I enjoy a good book a little more when there is a big strong Marine in it. I could feel Emma's heartache from losing her first love and Hunter's concern of just not being good enough or dangerous to those he loves. I'm glad they found their way back to one another. My only issue for me this time around was the narrator, which has nothing to do with the book, he is just not my cup of tea.

Love Hunter and Emma!

Love the story! From Emma finding herself again to Hunter fixing up the life he left behind, their story shows how some feelings never changes. Also, so good to see previous characters again!

Great second chance

This was was a reread for me. I loved the way the narration brings it all to life.
Hunter is determined to win back Emma. A great second chance romance. Hunter has a lot to make up for, and he’s got a lot of work to do to even get a chance. Emma has decided she’s done with men. Read it to find out how long that lasts.

Second Chance Romance

Emma and Hunter were high school sweethearts - until Hunter left one night without a word. Now ten years later, she has moved on…and Hunter has moved back. Watching them navigate a relationship after all the hurt and secrets between them was heartbreaking at times. The narrators did a great job giving these emotions a voice. Finally they were able to get to know each other as adults and eventually trust each other enough to be together again.

Second Chance at First Love

Hunter left Jetty Beach without an explanation, only a note, 10 years before to join the marines, leaving Emma with a broken heart. Emma goes on to marry Wyatt, someone her mother liked for her; and after years of mental abuse leaves the unhappy marriage and comes back to Jetty Beach to stay with her brother.
Hunter returns to Jetty Beach after medical discharge from military and when he sees Emma, all the old feelings resurface and are stronger than ever. He develops a mission plan on how to win her back and works meticulously towards successful completion of his mission. Is he going to succeed in convincing Emma to give him a second chance?
I absolutely loved this second chance story, the narration is phenomenal and brings the characters to life. I definitely recommend this book to all romcom enthusiasts!

Beautiful second chance story

This is a second chance story, and it is done beautifully. The growth of the characters, especially the Hero, makes it believable that they could get back together and make it last. I love how Emma needs Hunter to prove himself. She is tough, and makes sure to take care of herself. She won’t accept anything that isn’t right for her. I love heroines like this! I love the way Hunter feels about Emma, his response to her. You can feel how much he cherishes her. These two are a special couple! This story shows that young love can be the real thing, and young love can last a lifetime.

I was so excited to find out that books 4-7 of The Jetty Beach Series were coming to audio. These stories deserve a chance to be heard, and boy did this book deliver. Rock Engle and Emma Wilder are both fantastic in this story. There is just something about Emma Wilder that draws me in and make me feel so connected to her story telling. She makes me want to be (the character) Emma’s friend in this story!

Such a cute read for the summer!

First read the Jetty Beach books back in 2019 and I'm so glad the second half of this series is coming out on audio because it's the perfect excuse to reread! After her divorce is finalized and she's kicked out of her apartment for maintenance, Emma has no choice but to go back to her hometown of Jetty Beach and crash with her brother. The last person she expects to see is Hunter, the boy he loved so long ago. After 10 years in the military and a medical discharge, Hunter knows it's time to go back home to his family. When he sees Emma after all those years, he makes it his mission to win back her heart. These two are so cute together! Love how determined Hunter is to win Emma over. Plus his relationship with Isaac is adorable (and Emma just fits in seamlessly too) and you can tell he's a good guy. The narrators were amazing for this one and it's such a good fast-paced read for summer!
