Another Shot is a contemporary romantic novella based on the classic story of Ruth and Boaz.

My name is Rae, and this is my story. Regretfully, it begins on a sad note. Everything was taken from me when my husband died in a tragic car accident. The only person on Earth who could have possibly been hurting more than me was my beloved mother-in-law, Laura, who lost her husband and only sons in the same accident.

Laura was forced to leave Arizona and return to New York, and I decided to go with her. I packed my things with no prospects or expectations; all I had was the undeniable urge to remain with her. As a result of becoming a widow at 23, I was in a surreal frame of mind; and making a new start with my mother-in-law seemed like the only logical decision.

Less than two weeks after the accident, we were on our way to New York. I trusted we'd make it somehow, but never imagined someone greater than us already had a plan in place: a plan as romantic as a fairy tale.

What a nice contemporary story based on the book of Ruth. I love it and Kate Rudd did an awesome narration. This is the first of Brooke St. James books that I’ve listened to and it won’t be the last.

Wonderful!

It was cute how the author put in all the elements of the original Ruth story. The romance seemed quite a bit rushed, though, considering this was supposed to be a modern retelling set in the real universe. I generally only like mutual LAFS set in an alternate universe setting, like sci-fi or shifter or fantasy.

I was a bit thrown by the slight accent of the narrator at first, since the MC is supposed to be a natural born AZ resident and the major metro areas of AZ have no accent to speak of (unlike say, Long Island, Chicago south side, Boston, Twin Cities, etc). I guess since most of the characters were NY Italians, that's what they went with for the narration.

Cute story, good narration

I don’t usually listen to Novellas because they’re so short, sometimes you don’t really feel the connection to the story and characters. But I really liked this one!
