About this listen

Ellie Chambers always wanted to be a writer.

Now, she was a successful author, but it had come at a price. Two prices, actually.

The first was the fallout from a hastily-signed contract with Margo Rollings, the publisher who wouldn't die. And the second was Sam Price, her former writing partner and almost-fiance.

Sam Price had dreamed of being the next Hemingway, not the hack ghostwriter behind the popular "Lottie Long" cozy mystery series. But days spent with his dad as a sought-after finish carpenter in quaint Golden Grove, Iowa gave him little time for much else.

Now, an unforeseen catastrophe in the form of Margo Rollings, his former publisher, has left him with the ultimate lose-lose proposition: Write another book with Ellie or face a ruined career. The result leads them into the deadly world of laser-guided rosary peas and spam cupcakes.

Can Ellie and Sam put aside their differences in order to save their careers? Or is there a happily-ever-after waiting for them at the end?

This was a very cute and humorous, romantic, comedy love story. I believe the author D. J. Van Oss captured not only the the humor in that he was looking for, but to illustrate that love can find itself second time around.

I love the interaction between the two main characters with their best friends and the blooming relationship between those two friends.

The narrator Kathleen Li had done an terrific job with the vocals. This was my 1st time hearing her voice, but look forward to hearing her again.

I recommend this delightful contemporary romance to others; for sure!

This is a simple story but I was surprised to find myself pulled into it. It is a second chance romance with an interesting story to bring it about. I really enjoyed listening it.

I enjoyed listening to Kathleen Li narrate this story.

The way the characters are to each other at the start of this book really made me chuckle. You could sense the way they felt coming right out at you. The story kept me entertained all the way through and I enjoyed watching as their relationship grew and changed.

Entertaining and enjoyable with good narration

Sam and Ellie were in love once, but their drive to succeed as writers drove them apart. They get roped into writing one more book together. Can they come together, after too many years of not speaking, to fulfill a contractual obligation to complete one more book?

The story, written by DJ Van Oss, does a great job describing the ups and downs they go through to write the book, which isn’t what the publisher expects!! There are ups and downs, and even though they remember what they had, their egos continue to get in the way!!!

This was a good listen and the story was what I expected... fun and second chance romance.

Kathleen Li is a new narrator for me.

Sweet second chances.

I really enjoyed this light hearted and fun romance. ( it was just what I needed after finishing a rather intense Wilbur Smith book)
The characters where entertaining, and a good plot keeping the interest going throughout.
The narrator brought the characters to life,

Sam and Ellie are stuck together, fulfilling a contract. This second chance romance is really cute. DJ Van Oss and Kathleen Li make a great team. this book was quite a treat to listen to. The story flowed well, the characters were not one dimensional, the narration went really well with the story. Good listen.

This was a new Author to me. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Especially Sam. Ellie, felt was lacking, but a stong one. Honestly she annoyed me in the story.
it was great to hear bits about my former home state in the book.

the narrator was also new. I will say it was hard to listen but I persevered. I wanted to hear how the story went.
she seemed to read fast, hardly to look a breathe. at times it was hard to know which character she was reading.
despite these little quirks the story want bad and that's why I couldnt give 5 stars

a 2nd chance love

Write by your side is a wonderful second chance at love. DJ Van Oss has written a small town romance, with the introduction to a few characters. This book features Sam and Ellie. These two were college sweethearts, each had big dreams and together they were going to write. Their breakup was not easy, and the two lost touch, each having their own career path. Ellie is now a successful thriller writer, and Sam does ghost writing for a mystery series. But circumstances have brought them together again and they are forced to write one more book together. Will they be able to set aside their past to create a new story? This is a fun and enjoyable look at a second chance at love. These two have so much history, that at each corner, there is another memory. I love how they try to collaborate, and their final decision of what to publish! And all while building their relationship again. It's sweet and warm, just making your heart feel good.

Kathleen Li does a beautiful job with her narration. She even includes a little singing! Her voice has a warmth that feels like coming home when she narrates. It's soothing and easy to listen to. She easily switches between characters, has a good pace and gives a wonderful performance to this story.

Sweet, small town romance
