About this listen
Second chances only happen in the movies, right?
Following in his starlet grandmother's footsteps, Micah West left for the bright lights of Hollywood right after high school. He's spent the last five years building a name for himself as a young and rising star and his career is definitely going places. When his grandmother passes away, Micah finally comes home again and he’s terrified. It’s the first time he’s set foot in Longwood since he wooed and won and dumped his high school sweetheart. And now he has to face his biggest critic - the man he still loves.
Lewellyn King's life fell apart the night Mike called him from L.A. to break off their engagement and it’s never quite recovered. The whole town is convinced he hates Micah, but Lew knows the truth - he never stopped loving the alpha he'd been getting ready to marry. When he meets Mike again at the funeral, old hopes and hurts flare back up, but neither man can deny the feelings that still run strong between them.
Mike wants to make it right. Lew wants the man he was promised. But real life can't be just like the movies. Can it?
An novel set in the Oceanport omegaverse.

Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

Second chance to get it right
This is one of And-Katrin's books that I didn't read first as I didn't think it would interest me. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't really surprised by the reason Mike and Lew broke up, especially with the pressure of Hollywood. I'm glad Mike got a second chance to do it right and give Lew the opportunity to show that he can be as supportive as necessary. It was sad that it took a family loss to bring Mike home but I'm sure his grandma would have been happy about the overall results. I may wait for the audio of the second book instead of reading it, mainly because I really enjoy having John as a narrator and I may as well do the whole series in the same way.

Sweet Second Chance Romance
I've read the book and liked it. The audiobook, I loved it. Lew is a great character. Love his fiery temper and forgiving nature. Micah, I want to smack him around a bit in the first part but he really grew on me. I wouldn't have believed the second chance he was given here by Lew except Lew clearly has a big heart and Micah can actually learn from his mistakes!
Wonderful writing as usual from AKB (this story could have gone pear shaped in less capable hands) and the narration by John Solo is as usual top notch. I only took 1 start out of story because I wouldn't have forgiven Micah in the first place like Lew! Nothing against the story per se. :D
John's narration draws you in and really made you focus and fall in love with the characters. The voices of each character is distinct and definitely a good match to their personalities. Just loved it!
Summary: Sweet romance with great narration that will entertain you for seven hours! And re-listenable again and gain. Highly recommended.

Slowburn Romance
Just Like the Movies is a standalone romance that set within the Oceanport Omegaverse. No knowledge of that series is needed to enjoy this book, but I highly recommend reading them all to fully enjoy this universe.
This is a second chance romance between the alpha who went to Hollywood to pursue his career while leaving his omega behind. However, although Lewellyn was left behind in Oceanport, he never forgot Micah. When they reconnect, both men will have to rebuild their trust with each other before they can move on to a deeper relationship. I thought this was a really sweet slowburn romance.

Captivating!
Lou and Mike were high school sweethearts. After high school, Mike went to Hollywood. With all the pressure, he broke up with Lou. Four years later, Mike's Grandma passed away and he returns home. The author had me crying and laughing at the same time and John Solo does an absolutely wonderful job with the emotion of the characters and the presentation of the story. Thanks for this captivating audiobook!

I really liked this book
Quite enjoyable: plot was interesting; main characters were also very interesting and sympathetic. I liked the narrator’s use of accents to give a fuller sense of the story. I hadn’t read any of this author’s other books, but certainly try to keep track of her work.

second chances
I enjoyed this heartbreaking second chance book. It tore me up then put me back together again. Micah and Lew were meant to be,but only realized this after splitting up!! I empathized with Lew and his heartbreak,but happily Micah saw the error of his ways and came back to make it all better. I liked that Lew made him work for his love again. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Brought out the feels...
Just Like in the Movies is the first book in The Hollywood Hearts series by Ann-Katrin Byrde. It's a second chance romance that is sweet and perfect like the Oceanport Omegas series. It is a fun read' involving a Hollywood star Alpha who comes back home and realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life when he ended things with his high school sweetheart in the pursuit for fame. Lots of funny moments,sweet interactions, and all the feels. Llewellyn and Micah are great characters and their story is perfect.
I narration is done by John Solo and it's done Amazingly well. It adds another layer of enjoyment to the story, allowing us to be fully immersed into the world created and know the voices of the characters and really hear their personalities. Perfect!

Even better than in the movies!!
As a huge fan of audiobooks and of any Ann-Katrin Byrde books, I was so happy when I received the opportunity to “re read” this amazing book. Of course, this second chance, love story between Micah and Lewellyn is wonderfully written and the great way the author manages the plot already allowed you to feel all the sweetness and cuteness in their relationship in between the few angst situations happening. However, also hearing it in the fantastic acting voice of John Solo totally made my day. Simply Wow!
