About this listen

"Just let me love you...."

When Maleen King's father catches her naked in the hay loft with her high school sweetheart, he sends the 18-year-old away to receive a college education and rise above the humble beginnings of a Kansas dairy farm. Now, 14 years later, Mal comes home to run the farm after the death of her father. The stress of a disastrous marriage and being a NYC stockbroker made her long to return to a simple life.

Braydon Daniels, devastated when Mal's father sent her thousands of miles away, has thought about her every day since. Now, over a decade later, he finds himself alone, divorced, and beaten down by the trauma of his broken marriage. When Mal comes back to town for her father's funeral, he realizes the feelings he once had for her are just as strong. There's one little snag, though. His ex-wife is the woman Mal has hated her whole life. And they have a child together.

Despite the struggle to recover from their past relationships, the undeniable attraction between them still exists. Can they rekindle the passion they once had?

Please note: This is a 28,000-word second chance love story loosely based on the Grimm fairytale "Maid Maleen". No cliff-hanger and has an happily ever after ending. Bray is a non-alpha, sweet country boy. So if you like alpha-holes, this novella is not for you!

I enjoyed this story. Her Father tries to do the best for his daughter but breaks hers and her lovers hearts in the process. I loved the strong characters and how they reunited after 14 years. The narration was great I definitely recommend this book.

I wasn't familiar with the original fairy tale, so I really appreciated that the author included a summary before the beginning of the book. That being said, I'd say this was very loosely based on the fairy tale. They were both second chance stories, but the major events of the story weren't at all similar (which is okay). At the beginning of the book the two main characters were already in love, so instead of a getting together story, it was more about the steamy scenes, second chance beginning relationship pitfalls and more steamy scenes (i.e. not a slow burn).

The two narrators were really fabulous and enhanced the story. Jason Clarke is a favorite of mine, and Ava Lucas matched him well. I always appreciate dual narration when there are two points of view.

Great narration

I totally loved this second chance story - as always with Jeanne St James writing the characters are superbly written and well rounded and the story holds a wealth of detail which sucks you into.

Sweet second chance modern fairy tale that had plenty of heat and sexy times. After her father tore them apart and sent her away Mal and Bray discovered they both still wanted each other 14 years later. They were both so likable and easy to root for. I really enjoyed the 3 hours I spent listening.

I was again reminded how much I love narration from Jason Clarke and Ava Lucas both. They were perfect for the story. This is my first book by Jeanne St James and will check out her other titles.
