At 18, I walked away from Willow Creek Valley for good. I was young, scared, and stupid, and it cost me the love of my life - Grayson Parkerson. Fourteen years later, a crash sends me back home to recover. Back to where we met, fell in love, and planned a future. Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine. I’m not the girl I was - intimidated by his wealthy family and desperate to escape our small town. How can I convince him to give first love a second chance?

From that point on, Cole and I were always together, inseparable, and I naively believed we'd be best friends forever. But forever didn't last nearly as long as I expected.

Second chances are like skipping leg day - I don’t do that. Ever. But I wasn’t counting on Naomi buying me at the firefighter charity auction. Now I’m forced into a month of dates with the one woman who cuts through my defenses like no one else, and I’m starting to think maybe she’s right...maybe we are different people than the teenagers who failed at love.

Small town second chance romance
Good story but for some reason it wasn’t holding my attention very well, maybe it was just me and not the story idk, I’m not even sure why. I liked the characters and the narration was good. I do recommend this book. Not a lot of angst, no cliffhanger, mild love scenes.

Good second chance story and narration
This was a sweet, low angst second chance romance. Matt is the sheriff and Shay is a baker who had, years ago, left Matt to go chase her dreams in NYC. She’s back in the small town as a baker. Can Matt forgive her so that they can get their HEA? It’s a sweet book that kept my attention because most of the people, both the couple and the supporting cast, were so sweet and fun to follow. (Matt's grandparents were hilarious. Scenes with them and other supporting cast from the small town really added to the story.) Beyond the romance, there was a bit of intrigue- who is breaking into her bakery? ( I have to be honest that I was a bit aggravated with Shay's behavior in this instance.)
Krista Nicely was a good narrator- there were moments when I wasn't sure who she was playing because there wasn't a lot of variation in her voice but overall, she did a good job with the emotion and pacing. I enjoyed her narration.

Her new bakery is doing great, until she has a break in. The sheriff sent to investigate is none other than her ex Matt.

Super sweet
This is a super quick, sweet read! Really enjoyed the journey in reading this book.
Red Maple Falls is an adorable town with amazing people who all seem to know each other. Shay is back in the town where she spent all her summers and fell in love for the first time. She's opened a bakery and some trouble has caused her to come back in close contact with her former love.
I really enjoyed both Matt and Shay. I felt like they did fit together really well. They had their sweet times and their rough times but they both were able to work through. I loved seeing their journey together. I also liked that there were other characters and other things in their lives besides just each other. I can't wait to read more of this series!
Krista Nicely did a good job with this audiobook. Mostly her performance was really good. But I couldn't really tell much of a difference between the voices of the different characters. I had to go back and listen to a couple of segments to make sure that I knew what was going on. But overall, I enjoyed her performance.

Shay lived in NY with her parents, but spent her summers with her grandparents in Red Maples Falls. Those were her happy times, and where she and Matt fell in love. Unfortunately Shay’s mother is a snob.She is totally against the two of them being together. Shay leaves at the end of the summer, and Matt is devastated. They don’t see each other again for 17 years. They reconnect when Shay’s shop is broken into. It’s a tense meeting , they are uneasy with each other. Each harboring hurt, in Matt’s case, ,he’s done a stint in the army, Shay suffered through a betrayal by a man her mother convinced her to get engaged to. Matt and Shay’s problem? They have both internalized what happened to them. They manage to reconnect, but there are still secrets. I really liked this book! Get Mad About Matt to find out if he and Shay have a future, or are the things in their past too much to overcome? The pacing was good in the book. There was humor and angst. Krista Nicely Is a new narrator for me, and I enjoyed her. There are two more books in in this series, and I will be listening, because I want to revisit Red Maple Falls!

Sweet second chance with a pinch of suspense
Shay and Matt had a love connection when they were teens, but didn't end things on the best of terms; Matt especially felt hurt. This book takes place about 17 years later. Shay has moved to Red Maple Falls and opened a bakery; Matt is the police chief in town, so he's on the job when Shay's security alarm goes off at her bakery. The two try to fight their attraction, but the connection is still there after all these years and won't be denied. Matt is worried that Shay is in danger, but she's being stubborn and keeping secrets. Shay is a bit too prickly at times, but it's good that she's finally standing up for herself and realizing that she can't let other people rule her life. I liked that she's tough, but she was being an idiot about her safety. Matt's a sweetheart; he was a little tough on Shay about their past, but I loved how he was there for her. I don't really get why it took so long for them to talk about the past and get back together; Shay has been back for a couple years (if I remembered correctly), so the connection would've felt deeper if they couldn't control themselves sooner; especially in a small town. The connection is still really sweet and they fit well together. Entertaining story with the troubles at the bakery and with Shay's mother; the mother leaves a lot to be desired. I'm looking forward to checking out the next books in the series; Matt has a lot of siblings, so it'll be fun to see each of them find their loves.
I listened to the story on Audible. The narrator did a solid job; she didn't quite fit the story for me, but an enjoyable listen.

Great Story & Narration🎧 Matt💘Shay! Sweet Romance!
This is a sweet second chance romance set in a small town. This is my first book by Theresa Paolo and it will not be my last. I enjoyed her writing style and the storylines and characters she created, which I found to be realistic and relatable. The characters were complex and well developed and I adored the two leads, Matt Hayes and Shay Michaels . Two people from different worlds met when they were younger and fell in love. Matt grew up in Red Maple Falls, a small town in New Hampshire, Shay used to spend her summers there when she fell in love with Matt, but it was not meant to be she returned back home to NYC and they did not keep in touch. Seventeen years later Shay flees her city life returns to the place she fell in love with when she was younger, Red Maple Falls, and opens a bakery, something she dreamed of doing. Matt is now the local sheriff and when her store gets broken into he responds and they meet again. This story is well plotted, there is never a dull moment, there is drama, a bit of angst, mystery, plenty of emotions all leading to a wonderful second chance romance. Theresa Paolo, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride. I am looking forward to checking out more of your work.
I listened to the Audible edition, Krista Nicely does a great job narrating and performing the voices for all the characters. She brings these characters and their story to life from the pages to your ears. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this great listen🎧
