Summary

Christian Cole

I loved her. It took a day for me to realize she was different. It took a night for me to realize I had to let her go.

I was reckless. She deserved everything I couldn’t give to her. I had someone else to worry about.

Amari Santana

I was in love with him. It only took a few weeks for him to take over all of my thoughts. It only took a few words for him to rip all we had to shreds and break me.

I left. He stayed. Now I’m back.

Sweet listen

A fun, slightly angsty second chance romance, Gianna Gabriela takes us in and has us fall in love with Christian, Amari and Ari. Single dad Christian is called into school with his daughter Ari is part of a fight. Concern for his daughter does not even come close to the surprise he has when he meets with the principal. No other than Amari, his high school sweetheart. The girl he broke up with. Amari is shocked and her hurt comes back full force. Will these two find their second chance? I love the Gabriela's style. She writes with such feeling and emotion that it's easy to get caught up in the story. This second chance, single dad romance pushes all the buttons and is an enjoyable listen.

Lacy Laurel and Matthew Cohn dually narrate this story. Their voices are perfect for the characters, right down to Ari's 6 year old voice and gives us all the feels. They compliment each other and bring out the true feelings in this book. A great performance for an afternoon of entertainment.

Love it

The cover is really beautiful. The book is wonderful as well. For everybody who had to let somebody go for the best interests of the other or for both of them.

This is excellent!!!!

I love the story Gianna Gabriela told in Just Because if You!

Christian works hard, but doesn’t like what he’s doing. He played football in high school and thought he’d play after high school... but circumstances prevented him from doing so. He list that and the girl he loved, who was the love of his life, because of a decision he made before he met her.

Amari is back in her hometown as the elementary school principal. She has been gone for six years, and she’s worried that the boy who broke her will still be there. She has no idea why he broke everything off, why everything that they planned fell apart. But her new job is why she’s here, and she wants to do well.

Everything about this story hits right in the feels! It’s a great listen! Lacy Laurel and Matthew Cohn are excellent at what they do and did wonders for these characters!!

Really enjoyed this story

This is a really sweet story that I thoroughly enjoyed. I liked the set up and the idea and the way it was brought about. The characters are very believable and I got more attached to them the more I listened. Lacy Laurel and Matthew Cohn did a great job with the narration, they really brought something extra to the story. Well worth the listen.

A Great Second Chance Romance

I love a good second chance romance. I tend to be a bit apprehensive about them, but this one got me emotionally attached to Christian and Amari. I didn't think I would be this emotional while listening to the story, but Gabriella did such a great job of bringing emotions to the forefront. I didn't exactly love how Christian handled everything, but I get it. The narration from Lacy and Matthew was fantastic; it brought the story to life.

Second Chance Romance

Just Because of You by Gianna Gabriela is a second chance romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Lacy Laurel and Matthew Cohn.

I absolutely love Gianna’s books! You can feel on the emotions of the characters through her writing. I absolutely loved Christian and Amari’s story. I cannot wait to read more of her work in the future.

Lacy and Matthew did an amazing job on the narration. They both know how to bring a story to life.

I would highly recommend this book if you love second chance romances.

Amalia and Christian!

Amalia was devasted when Christian, her high school sweetheart and the man she couldn’t imagine her future without, ends their relationship with no warning or explanation. She left town to put some physical and emotional distance between them until years later her career brings her back to her hometown.

Christian had his reasons for ending their relationship and he did it with the best of intentions. Now that she is back in town he wants a second chance but once she finds out the truth will they be able to overcome the pain of their past or will this drive them even further apart?

Christian may not have handled their past in the best way but there was no denying that even though they have both tried to move forward with their lives that they have never forgotten their first and only love. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrators were a perfect choice for the characters. 🎧 Audiobook Obsession
