About this listen
The First Time series concludes with an enemies to lovers romance that has been a long time coming. August and Paisley finally figure out what they’ve been missing.
The first time I got married, I watched the man I love walk away from me.
The second time around, I’m the one signing the dotted line first—this one a man who I realized I never loved.
Once burned, twice broken, I’m done looking for love.
Only my first ex-husband seems to be everywhere I turn—at my work, with my friends, and eventually…in my bed.
I didn’t mean for it to happen.
Twice.
But I know if I don’t protect my heart, there will be nothing left of me if he walks away again without telling me why he did so in the first place.
I don’t know if I can trust this new version of ourselves or if it’s merely the heat between us striking hot.
After all, second chances only exist in my dreams.
And there’s no such thing as a second chance husband.

Story
Samantha Dare had one thought when she found out her fiancé was a lying cheater. Escape. So, she ran from her wedding…straight into the arms of the man who once gave her the hottest kiss of her life. But rebounding with her brother’s friend would be a huge mistake…wouldn’t it? The last thing Dex Sterling needed was more chaos in his life. Retiring from football and starting over in broadcasting gave him plenty of that. But even though Samantha is chaos personified, for some reason, he’s still not able to keep his mind—or hands—off her.

Story
From New York Times & USA Today Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a steamy new romance novel. The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. One that seemed like a good idea at the time. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed. There were some rules though. Lots of them actually. Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal.

When he’s about to go in after the biggest lead on latest case that’s landed on his desk, Royce didn’t expect he’d have to abort the mission early.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between. The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons. First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

One letter changed my life. One night with him might change my forever. Inheriting a beach house in a small town you've never heard of is less than ideal. Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse. I came to Carrington Cove for one reason: to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business. There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Enjoyed it!
Second Chance Husband (First Time #3) is an enemies to lovers romance.
Paisley and August’s love story was a good second chance romance. You could tell their chemistry never wavered despite years apart. A nice bit of drama and steamy moments. I enjoyed the family dynamic.
Gregory Salinas did a really good job narrating August. Jo Raylan also did a good job, but I wasn’t a fan of her narrating Paisley.

The ultimate heartache.
Ryan is good at breaking a heart, but she has more than a little help in piecing it back together again. Second Chance Husband makes all the right moves. From intense emotions to haunting romance, August and Paisley are the ultimate heartache. Salinas and Raylan are exceptional. From the first moment to the last word, you're captivated.

August and Paisley
I have loved every book in this series all of which have featured Paisley and August, we've always known that they were once married but we have never known why they divorced. We, the readers, are not the only ones neither Paisley nor August's siblings have any idea why, only August knows and he has never said.
At the start of this book, Paisley has just been granted a divorce decree ending her marriage to her second husband James after finding out he has a long-standing mistress. She decides to celebrate her first evening of freedom by going line-dancing at a bar solo where she imbibes one too many drinks.
August happens to be in the same bar on a date with his girlfriend when his Paisley nearly falls as she staggers on her heels. His date insists he ensures Paisley gets home safely, August agrees to take her home but when she passes out he has no way to ask where she lives and so finds himself uncomfortably carrying her into his home where she spends the night in his spare room.
When Paisley wakes up in August’s home, emotionally exhausted and hungover it's all too much for her. August’s two sisters-in-law are her work partners and best friends but so far she's managed to keep herself at a distance from August even though they are married to his brothers. But a long-arranged family vacation forces them to share a suite where the proximity to him and feelings long denied overwhelm her and she calls an Uber and leaves.
August and Paisley find themselves repeatedly in each other's orbit in the weeks and months that follow their aborted vacation and their overwhelming attraction to each other becomes impossible to deny. Their emotions run deep and they become intimate but August wants to keep things casual because he fears repeating the mistakes of his narcissistic parents who always chose each other over their children despite infidelities on both sides divorcing then marrying again then divorcing. But he doesn't tell Paisley of his feelings or fears. Paisley knows that she's never stopped loving August but she refuses to accept anything less than the full commitment she feels she deserves.
Is there any way they can resolve their situation before the whole family is forced to take sides, just how difficult will future family get-togethers become? Add to this her social-climbing, scheming mother and James, her ex trying to get her to remarry him. You can't help but admire Paisley when she finally puts them both in their place.
I loved this story, it's a sexy, steamy, emotional, enjoyable rollercoaster full of characters we have come to know who now feel like friends. There is angst, chemistry, happiness and sadness but most of all there is love, love between siblings, love between partners, love between friends and we finally find out why August left her all those years ago.
The narration is by Gregory Salinas and Jo Raylan who both do a good job of bringing the characters to life.

Not a fan of the female narrator
I can’t really say why, I just didn’t like the tone of her voice. And her “male” voice during her narration was rough. It made it hard to finish

Really liked this second chance romance
A second chance at a first love. When paisleys second marriage ends because he husband was cheating on her she never planned to pass out and be taken care of by her first husband. When she gets up she is out the door. Even all this time later the two still have chemistry but are trying to avoid it. He doesn’t want to end up like his parents and she wants all in. Definitely takes some work for a HEA. Great listen.

Emotional and touching second chance romance
I had the opportunity to listen to Second Chance Husband by Carrie Ann Ryan is the third book in the First Time series and gives us August and Paisley’s story and I was all here for it. This series can be read as a standalone, however, I have read the entire series and highly recommend each book. Narrated by Gregory Salinas and Jo Raylan, this story was emotional, touching and a push and pull second chance romance that was angsty and captivating. August and Paisley were once married, but having his reasons, August walked away. Now they are back in each other’s lives more than they ever thought they would be or wanted to be.
Paisley just got divorced for the second time. She was so strong and determined, but vulnerable during these changes in her life. Though August had his reasons at the time for walking away, he never stopped caring about Paisley. But now that that their family and friends are so intertwined, they seem to find themselves together more and more. But what does it mean? August still has his reservations and Paisley knows what she wants and what she deserves. August’s childhood was not easy and he, like his siblings, carry the trauma from it. Can they find a way back to each other or is it too late? I loved this series so much and August and Paisley’s story was so captivating from start to finish.
Happy listening!

Second Chance Husband
A sweet story of finding love again. August and Paisley have past but they are trying to find a way to ignore it while being friends. Soon emotions come into play and it gets harder to ignore the tension between them. The two are hot together but can they survive what August already sees as a failure? I enjoyed getting to see August and Paisley reconnect. Their story moves along quickly and has you rooting for love. Narrators Gregory Salinas and Jo Raylan do a nice job of bringing these characters to life and pulling you into the story.

Never let your past depict your future!!
Just the closure we needed to end a fantastic series!! I would never have guessed that August, ever the grump is a dirty talker, and exceptionally good at it. That man is undeniable. Paisley has one of the best hearts and I just wanted to hug her. I was not ready for Paisley and August’s love story! So much unnecessary pain and anguish rooted so deep, but the intensity of their love that brought them back together to heal one another melted my heart. Gregory and Jo captured the essence of August and Paisley perfectly with their narration. They embraced the pain but also exuded the love!! Carrie Ann Ryan could not have written a better ending to the First Time series!

Amazing second chance romance
I received this as an arc/alc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.
This was an amazing second chance romance. It was such a well written story and it was really emotional and heartwarming as well as steamy. I have been waiting for this story since reading the first book in the series and it was totally worth the wait. Austin and Paisley were everything, they had such amazing chemistry and their HEA was so well deserved.
Audiobook review: The male narrator was amazing and I felt able to completely immerse myself in the story when he was narrating. I wasn’t as much a fan of the female narrator but mainly because her narration pace was so different from his so it drew me a bit of of the story when she narrated. But it was still a great audiobook.

Sorrows and Secrets
Second Chance Husband is the third and final book in The First Time series. It follows Paisley and August as they reconnect with each other and give love a second chance.
They were young when they married the first time. They never thought they would reconnect, let alone have one of her employees marry his twin brother. They have been thrown together on a regular basis due to her friends, and employees, being married to his brothers.
Paisley married once for love. Although she was young, she knew what love was. So she was heartbroken when he left, and filed for divorce. This was not what she wanted.
Paisley married a second time. But she realized that she did not love Jacob. She thought she did when she married him, but circumstances revealed her true feelings. When she filed for divorce from Jacob, she knew it was the right decision.
This core group of family and friends have planned a vacation together. Even though she is now divorced, Paisley still goes on vacation with her friends. She can still have a good time, even if she is the only single one. What she does not plan for is August as a lone wolf as well.
And we all know what happens with these Cassidy boys when they are alone and single with an alone and single woman.
Needless to say Paisley and August agree to one night. But neither of them have forgotten or stopped loving the other.
His brothers give him a hard time about hooking up with Paisley. They remind him that both of their wives work for her. "So don't screw it up."
So will this hookup evolve in to something more? Or will they realize they are better off separate? Will either choice affect the group dynamic?
Jo Raylan is a new to me narrator. She is the perfect pick for Paisley. She has the professional, mature, calm, cool and collected voice that I imagine Paisley has. Gregory Salinas is a good fit for August. He has the alpha protector voice with the quiet sorrow of what was done and what could have been.
