About this listen

From New York Times best-selling author Lauren Blakely.

Let's say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.

Until 10 years later.

Now, it turns out he's the only one in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charity's event. The trouble is, he doesn't recognize me.

This woman I'm working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes on her, I'm captivated and I can't get her out of my mind. Even if it's risky to tango with someone I'm working with, she's a risk I'm willing to take.

The trouble is, she won't give me the time of day.

But I'm determined to change that.

Love both of these narrators, but the female POV gave him an accent, but when the male narrator (Webber) was talking he didn't.

I still loved the story, I love 2nd chance romance, but I still feel that the story called for an accent that wasn't there.

Good performance but Webber needs an accent

The passion and chemistry between the two main characters is fantastic. Their love story is short indeed electric and fantastic. I enjoyed seeing how they dealt with the ten year they were apart. A second chance romance like no time had passed. Loved it! The narrators were great! I would highly recommend this book.

Wonderful love story

This novella is a gorgeous story of second chances, one that comes ten years later. THE ONLY ONE is
less of a rom-com feel, rather a contemporary read without as many witty quips and having recently read/listened to a number of Lauren Blakely's rom-cons, I enjoyed the change in pace.

The characters meet for a work deal unexpectedly after missing a planned meet ten years ago. I loved Gabriel, chef and restaurant owner, Spanish and all over nice guy. Penny was sweet but still nursing some hurt. I loved their build of interactions, connection and chemistry.

The book is narrated by two of my favourite narrators, Zachery Webber and Andi Arndt and they did a good job, however I do have a niggle. Gabriel was Spanish and described as having an accent, yet the male narrator was straight American. Then, when the female POV narrated male dialogue, she did it with a Spanish accent. This was rather disconcerting, but I went with the flow and still enjoyed it.

A copy of this audiobook was provided by the author in return for an honest review.

An epic story packed into a beautiful novella.

Lauren weaved all her usual storytelling magic you get in a novel in this novella. Plenty of time to develop a connection to the main characters and get drawn into the second chance love storyline. Why things didn't happen the first time round with Gabriel and Penny, what will happen this time round?

What I love about Lauren's novella's are that they are never rushed, they are planned out and the endings are well executed.

Both narrators did an excellent job, two of my favourites here.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen

I love love love it!!!

The story was sexy, hot and funny! Lauren once again has not disappoint me with her story. And the narrators? They were just perfect. I felt all the right feels listening to them.

The story is about that one night that changed life of two people Penny and Gabriel. They met few years back but because of unfortunate events they were separated. Penny thought Gabriel stood her up and she decided to never make the same mistake. Until she meets him again.

I love the story for it's humour, wittiness and all the right feels.

I definitely 5 stars!

Amazing and sexy short story!
