Summary

Second chances only happen in the movies, right?

Following in his starlet grandmother's footsteps, Micah West left for the bright lights of Hollywood right after high school. He's spent the last five years building a name for himself as a young and rising star and his career is definitely going places. When his grandmother passes away, Micah finally comes home again and he’s terrified. It’s the first time he’s set foot in Longwood since he wooed and won and dumped his high school sweetheart. And now he has to face his biggest critic - the man he still loves.

Lewellyn King's life fell apart the night Mike called him from L.A. to break off their engagement and it’s never quite recovered. The whole town is convinced he hates Micah, but Lew knows the truth - he never stopped loving the alpha he'd been getting ready to marry. When he meets Mike again at the funeral, old hopes and hurts flare back up, but neither man can deny the feelings that still run strong between them.

Mike wants to make it right. Lew wants the man he was promised. But real life can't be just like the movies. Can it?

An novel set in the Oceanport omegaverse.

Good low angst story; great audio performance.

I love second chance stories and Just Like in the Movies is a good one. It's the first book I've read by Ann-Katrin Byrde but I've listened to several books performed by John Solo. After listening to my first audiobook he narrated he quickly became one of my top five favorite performers.

Just Like in the Movies is an Alpha/Omega story with both female and male alphas and omegas and, of course, Mpreg. 😊 While omegas are looked at as subservient to alphas, Lew doesn't tolerate that. He has a job and can support himself; he doesn't need an alpha to take care of him. Mike knows he made a huge mistake when he dumped Lew in the most callous of ways several years ago but he has never forgotten him and is ready to make amends. Lew certainly doesn't make it easy for him.

This is a sweet story without a lot of angst. In fact, after one conflict was resolved I kind of expected another one to happen but it didn't and I was fine with that. I will definitely be reading more books from Ann-Katrin Byrde.

I won a copy of this audiobook from the author during a Facebook party but no review was required or requested.

Wonderful Performance by John Solo

Super sweet second chance romance. Ann-Katrin Byrde ties in movies and Hollywood to the plot, and it's clever and well done.

What's really special about Just Like in the Movies is John Solo's narration in the audio version. Taking advantage of the humor, as well as the emotion, Mr. Solo delivers an excellent performance.

as good as the ebook

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B
