The Plot 💬:
When your husband dies and your brother's boos/best mate quietly steps in to help you put your life back together, things can get complicated and emotional. Teddy’s just trying to survive motherhood and heartbreak, while Xander’s been holding onto a secret crush that’s lasted years. It's slow, it's tender, it's the different kind of second chance you don't see coming… but damn, when it hits, it hiiiiits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Audiobook 🎧:
Vanessa Edwin as Teddy: Gentle but grounded, perfect for a mum just trying to hold it all together. She gives Teddy so much layered softness and grief-soaked strength to Teddy's character. Her delivery was so perfect and you could her every emotion in her voice.
Aiden Snow as Xander: Deep, achy, and makes you believe Xander has loved her forever. Aiden makes you not only hear but also feel Xander’s heart and emotion in every line. His restraint, his longing, his absolute love for her and those kids. Aiden = king of low-and-steady pining.
Vanessa and Aiden are a perfect match for this story. The duet narration makes it all feel so intimate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sizzle Scale:
