This fall we have a plethora of new releases in the second chance romance genre. Maybe there is just something about the season that asks us to start again. A dual-timeline, music industry romance, Never Over feels small town rather than Los Angeles fame— Paige Lancaster is the youngest of five sisters and lives in Tennessee. Finding an opportunity for songwriting, the record executive wants her to get to the emotional place where she was when writing the songs about her breakup with Liam.
This is where the plot goes a little rom-com- she finds Liam and although they’ve been in touch, suggests that they date again so that she can find her heartbreak. Paige has always been in the shadow of her sisters and best friend Maysie, While the situation may seem far-fetched to some; there isn’t a lot that is dependent on the set up. Clare Gilmore takes the time to allow the reader to understand Paige and Liam’s connection. Liam is independent and sex-positive, but Paige feels different to him, he really wants to spend time with her.
Audiobook review; this is a great book to listen to. The pacing lends itself well to listening and I was able to follow the story and the romantic connection. I appreciated the way all of Paige’s sisters had individual personalities and things going on in their lives. There is one narrator – Carly Robins- and she did a great Southern accent. Her performance had heart and depth.
Thanks to NetGalley and RB Media for the ALC. book to be published October 27, 2025.
