About this listen

Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets - will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?

Gia is living the dream with an amazing career and wonderful friends. Her life is on the right track, until a tall, broody blast from the past breezes back into her life, sending her into a tailspin. She never forgot about Simon - her first love - or the way she cut him from her life all those years ago. Now, she doesn’t know what to do.

Simon never forgot the girl next door, or how she broke his heart when she left without even a goodbye. Thankfully, life as a professional gamer keeps his mind off his broken heart. That is until he suddenly finds himself back in her path. Now he’s pushing her boundaries and testing her limits. Simon and Gia have to find a way to coexist.

They started as friends, and maybe it’s time to go back to the beginning. Only, this time around, being ‘just friends’ doesn’t seem to be enough. Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets. Will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?

I love a story when the characters have history. Gia and Simon were best friends. The day before she had to move, Simon declares his love for her and Gia just can't take the grief of leaving. She cuts all ties with him. Now 8 years later, their paths cross again. Are the feelings still there? Can Simon forgive Gia for her past action? And will history repeat itself? This is my first book by Lauren Helms, and I loved it. It's the second book in the series, but reads as a standalone. The ensemble cast is cohesive and their friendships are unbreakable. Who knew gaming teams could be so much fun? Helms also gives us a look at mental illness and how families deal with it. As part of Gia's back story, this is handled with compassion, yet shows the pain and struggle each member has with it. Well written, fun characters and serious topics, Helms has leveled up with this gaming story, and I will go back to listen to Morgan and Dex!

Amanda Stribling is the voice behind the story and she gives a great performance. I find her portrayal of the new adult sub-genre perfect. She adds a lot of emotional pull into the characters, not only with Simon and Gia, but with Gia and Todd. I loved her narration.

Second chances!

I finally finish reading this book. It's just okay for me. I didn't really connect with the main characters.

Just okay for me.

One More Round by Lauren Helms pulled me in immediately. I loved the characters of Gia and Simon in this book. I could understand why she didn't want her friends learning about her brother initially, and then it just seemed too late to bring him up. This story spans a long time, and is a second chance at first love. The concept of being paid to play games or watch television shows boggles my mind, maybe that is the difference between millennial and baby-boomer era people and jobs. Amanda Stribling performed this book flawlessly. She is wonderful at bringing the characters to life with her distinguishable voices for the various characters. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator!

Gia and Simon!

I loved, loved this book. wow... I am going to go buy the first one now :) This book had me ignoring the kids, chores, bedtime... etc. I fell asleep at about 4:30 am to get up at 6. But I had to finish it. I couldn't stop. Lauren Helms knocked it out of the park with this book. Gia and Simon seem so normal, their friends are great and you just feel like you're part of it. Amanda Stribling brought the story to life. What a great ride!!
