When I Think of You

By: Myah Ariel

Narrated by: DeWanda Wise

In this sweeping second chance romance from debut author Myah Ariel, the unexpected spark of two former flames may force them to choose between their dreams and each other.

Kaliya Wilson has paid her dues. But all the years behind the reception desk at a flashy film studio have only pushed her movie-making dreams further out of reach. That is, until a surprise reunion presents an opportunity that could make her career, or break her heart…a second time.

It’s been seven years since Kaliya’s whirlwind college romance with Danny Prescott went up in flames. While her passions have stalled, his career is taking off. So when the hot shot director reappears to offer her a job on his next production, it’s a shock to the system. Working with Danny may recapture the intensity of their film school days, but trusting him again won’t come as easily.

As the pair allows themselves the openness and vulnerability to entrust their deepest truths to each other, the possibility of a true connection draws ever closer. But when Hollywood politics and scandal threaten to sink the production and her career, Kaliya may have to risk everything to do what’s right—even if it means letting go of the second chance love of a lifetime.

Very fun

I enjoyed the story, banter & overall performance. What a fun book that had me LOL & wincing because I could see myself in a few scenarios. Well done.

Sometimes we all need second chances

This book was great from page one. I always tell if I'm going to enjoy a book within the first few chapters.

Loved the story - but I’ll pass on the narrator

This was such a sweet story but for some reason the narrator’s voice or her reading was rather painful. Idk..I was able to finish the book so yay for that idk I’d rather her read me a newspaper.

Slow and Steady

This was a great listen. From the beginning to end, I wanted to know what happened next. The reader was captivating and truly brought the characters to life. I highly recommend!!!

Narrator

So far this book has caught my attention but the narrators energy is so low that she’s making it difficult to get through. Her voice isn’t annoying but her energy is not there. It’s my first time listening to her so I’ll give her another try but I have to first get through this one.

Beautiful

4.5 stars! This was a sweet and wholesome palate cleanser after reading a dark romance. I love a second chance romance and this gave me everything I needed!

I couldn’t stop listening

The book was very engaging and kept me intrigued. The connection between the main characters was felt from the words. I cried. I laughed. It was a great book.

What Love Made

Great story touching on multiple themes, all of which were relevant and authentic. Loved the maturity of the main characters.

The plot was not as predictable as I imagined

Great read! I love a good love story especially the ones where the underdog wins. I love how the author incorporated real life social issues and confronted them in this book. Most of all, I love the chemistry between the two main characters.
