That Leo was so afraid of showing who he really was for fear of judgement and she loved him anyway.

Yes for sure!

Even better!

Loved Leo's POV. It was the story that was in Leo's voice and it was great. Not like some of the other books that had a males POV where it was repeated from the 1st book. Although some of it was duplicated not so much as if you were listening to the same exact story. Very different POV.

A rewrite of Leo

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I enjoyed Leo but felt it was missing the edge of many stories I enjoy. Meaning I could put the book down. After I read reviews of Leo's chance I was in the same story as Leo. I hate when authors try to write the counter point of view and end up with the same story. Take Note Autors please! If you are going to write in others pov please bring in information we have not already read.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Leo’s Chance?

The story could have been saved if it would have continued on from where Leo left off. It was interesting to read of the accident but then I felt I was wasiting my time rereading Leo.

A perfect POV follow up

This was one of the best character point of view follow ups I have ever listened to. Mia Sheridan is amazing at weaving her stories. I love everything she writes. Great listen I highly recommend listening after you listen/read Leo.

Red flags everywhere

I listened to Leo several months ago and I can't remember what I felt about it but I know i didn't continue the series. Now I think I remember why. This guy is a walking bundle of red flags. No respect of boundaries or autonomy or consent. The heroine is overly perfect and flat out dumb. I'm 3 hours in and I keep hoping this guy will get a clue but he gets worse and worse. He thinks he owns her and they've been on one date. I'm done. I won't finish this.

Practically the same book...

The same story as Leo, the only differences were it was from Leo's point of view and had a few additional scenes.. There wasn't enough new material to justify a second 7+ hour book in my opinion.
Great narration though!

Same as Leo

If you've already listened to Leo, there isn't any need to listen to this book. It's the same book, word for word in many places, except with just a hint of what Leo thought. One thing that drove me nuts in both of the books was the constant use of the phrase, "a long minute." A minute is 60 seconds. 60 seconds isn't really subjective, A long moment- yes. A long minute - no.

Sweet Handling of Tough Subjects

What did you love best about Leo’s Chance?

Smooth delievery

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tanner because I relate to him more than the others

Which character – as performed by Joe Arden – was your favorite?

Tanner

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

This is a feel good story. It has so many factors which could have caused major dramatics, but they're handled with grace. Steve is a 39 year old HIV-positive man who lost his life partner. Tanner is a socially awkward virgin who is in love with his friend's dad (Steve).

These two smoothly ease into a relationship and handle everything maturely. I'm a fan of not having manufactured drama. I love the sweetness. McFarland's Farm (book 1) was better for me, but I do recommend Jesse's Diner to someone looking for a cute, pleasant, lovable read.

Love Leo's POV

Leo's POV adds another dimension to Leo's story, from Evie's POV. What this man endured as a teen is inexplicable. How he survived is nothing short of amazing. I credit Leo himself and Dr Fox for his acceptance that he is worth it.

It is sad he was unable to have the father-son relationship that I think they both desired. As for Lauren, "what goes around comes around", and may she rot in hell.

Their story is not without difficulties but when they truly discover each other again their lives become what they always hoped for and dreamed of.

The epilogue was perfect. ❤️❤️

It's still depressing. 😔

Loved this! Hearing Leo's perspective, reasons for doing or saying things, and his past is always something I enjoy (both sides of a story type thing). I still really hate that scummy stepmom and it disgusts me to no end knowing people actually do that! 🤬🤮🔪
