Book description
Forget everything you thought you knew about second chances. Chloe Liese's Once Smitten, Twice Shy isn't just a romance-it's a masterclass in why practice always leads to perfection, delivered with a sizzle you'll feel in your bones. This audiobook? Pure, irresistible magic.
Picture this: Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic now hardened by heartbreak, stumbles into a "practice romance" with the devastatingly off-limits Will Orsino. No strings. Just two people pretending to learn love while their chemistry ignites like a spark in dry tinder. The genius? They're both terrible at it-she's shy, he's resigned to a marriage of duty-and that's exactly why it works. Their whispered conversations, the accidental touches, the way they learn each other's rhythms in the most intimate ways? The audiobook makes it feel like you're eavesdropping on a secret only they share.
And the voices? Oh, they're the secret weapon. The narrator's warmth pulls you into Juliet's quiet vulnerability, while Will's low, hesitant tones crackle with that delicious tension between duty and desire. Every laugh, every hesitant confession, every almost kiss is rendered with such palpable intimacy, you'll forget you're listening to a book. It's not just telling you about their connection-it's making you feel it, right there in your headphones.
Liese doesn't just retell Shakespeare; she reimagines it for modern hearts. The "Twelfth Night" twist isn't just clever-it's the emotional core. When their practice becomes real, when "twice shy" hearts finally stop hesitating? That's the moment you realize this isn't just a book. It's a reminder that love isn't about grand gestures. It's about showing up, being clumsy, and trusting that the perfect ending was always in the practice.
This isn't just a happy ending-it's the only ending that makes sense. You'll find yourself hitting "repeat" on the last chapter, just to savor that final, perfect moment all over again. Don't wait for "someday." This audiobook is the practice you've been waiting for. Press play. Let yourself get swept away. Your future self will thank you.
