Show Me Wonders: An M/M Second Chance Standalone

This book got to me—it made me tear up more than once, and I could feel the heartache with every page. The author is so skilled at crafting believable love stories, where the emotions develop naturally over time, rather than feeling forced or overly dramatic. There’s something about the way she unfolds the relationships that just feels real, even though, of course, there’s a lot of drama involved. Jackson’s story, though left somewhat open, still provides enough insight that I didn’t feel lost; it was just the right amount of information, leaving me satisfied without any awkward gaps.

I also really appreciated how the book addressed trauma and psychological struggles, particularly through Oliver’s experience with panic attacks and PTSD(i think). It wasn’t explicitly labeled, but the way it was woven into the story was powerful and authentic. The psychological impact was just a part of their lives, not something neatly solved in a few chapters. It took a long time for things to feel even remotely okay, and there were setbacks along the way, but the journey toward healing felt genuine.

*** I reviewed a complimentary copy of this story***

Show Me Wonders is a beautiful emotional ride. Jackson and Oliver have a love story that is not easy and is filled with difficult moments. They are a great pairing due to their intense differences. Jackson is a rough around the edges grumpy biker, while Oliver is a sweet and shy single father who is just trying his best at life.

This story has two tropes that make it quite special that include forced proximity/survival and second-chance romance. Both are perfectly placed within the timeline of the story which makes it quite an emotional read as you go on a journey with Jackson and Oliver, who meet by chance and are forever bound to one another.

Show Me Wonders is a beautiful story that left me emotionally bereft when it ended. I fell for these characters, their desire for one another, and their willingness to sacrifice everything for one chance at a HEA. Their love story is moving and left me anxious while reading if a HEA was even possible.

Overall I loved this story, I loved how strong both Jackson and Oliver were in different ways and how they are such great complements to one another by truly understanding each other while keeping each other safe. Such a wonderful story that left me wanting to see more from this couple. I cannot wait to see what comes next!!!

“So you’re my reason, and I’m yours. Is that good enough?”

What an emotional rollercoaster this one turned out to be. This is why I don’t read many second chance romances because they make me feel too much! Ollie and Jax had me in tears multiple times, and thankfully they found their HEA they fought so hard for.
This whole series was amazing and I can’t wait to get to the 4th installment.

CW and tropes (spoilers):
- opposites attract
- single dad
- hurt/comfort
- ptsd and panic attacks
- agoraphobic MC
- demi/gray-ace MC (Jax never really labels himself)
- gay awakening

POV: dual, 1st person
