Begin Again: A Stay Novella Kindle Edition

by Jennifer Probst (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 804 ratings
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Probst comes a new story in her Stay series.

Chloe Lake is finally living her dream. As the daughter of the Governor, she’s consistently in the spotlight, and after being dubbed the Most Eligible Bachelorette of NYC, both her career and personal life has exploded. Fortunately, her work as an advocate for animal welfare requires constant publicity and funding, so she embraces her role and plays for the camera—anything for the sake of her beloved rescues.

But when a big case is on the line, she’s faced with the one obstacle she never counted on: the boy who broke her heart is back, and in order to gain justice, they need to work together.

Chloe swears she can handle it until old feelings resurface, and she’s faced with a heartbreaking choice.

Will this time end differently—or are they destined to be only each other’s first love—instead of forever?

Owen Salt fell hard for Chloe when he was a screwed-up kid in college, and spent the next years changing himself into the man his grandfather believed he was capable of. But when his career led him across the country, he knew he needed to leave the woman he loved behind. He’s never forgotten her, but as the new darling of the press, now, she’s way out of his league. When work brings him back to fight for justice by her side, he swears he can handle it.

But he’s never really gotten over his first love—and he wants one more opportunity to prove he’s a man who’s worthy.

Can Owen convince the woman who holds his heart to take a second chance on forever—or is it too late for them both?

**For fans of Jennifer Probst’s Stay series, Begin Again is book five in that series.**

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Second Chance at First Love Story
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2021

    I absolutely loved Begin Again by Jennifer Probst, the final novella in her Stay series, it is an incredible love story. I have always enjoyed the other books that I have read by Jennifer Probst and really enjoy her wonderfully written stories. Jennifer Probst has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put it down. I loved every page. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Begin Again is wonderful love story and is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. I love the lighter moments where I find myself smiling and laughing out loud and the bittersweet moments that cause me to sigh, say aww to myself with tears filling my eyes. Begin Again is filled with such moments, and with so much emotion. It is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a love story, especially the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. Who doesn’t love a second chance at first love story? Begin Again is the story of Chloe Lake, advocate for animal welfare and daughter of the governor of New York, and Owen Salt, her first love. Chloe has recently been crowned the Bachelorette of New York City. Chloe and Owen met while Owen was doing community service at the Bishop horse rescue farm. After graduating from college, Owen heads to California and breaks things off with Chloe. While he was away, Owen earned his law degree and became the man his grandfather and Chloe could be proud of. Owen works for the Defense Fund, and has decided to head home to New York and work with Advocates for Animals on a civil case against animal hoarders. Chloe is shocked when Owen enters the office as the lawyer working the case. Chloe is dating someone, Drew Dinkle who her father approves of and thinks is the right man for her. After attending a fundraiser with Drew, Chloe realizes that he is not the one for her. I love the plot twists that transpire involving Chloe, Owen and Drew. Mia and Ethan’s daughter, Evie is celebrating her first birthday. Jonathan, Alyssa, Chloe and Owen are heading to Gardiner, NY in the Hudson Valley for the celebration. Chloe and Owen are back where it all started. While horseback riding, Chloe and Owen have a heart-to-heart conversation where Owen tells Chloe the real reason that he went to California. I love that their relationship changed in the same place that it began. Then another plot twist has them discussing Owen’s future and whether or not he needs a career change. I love how Owen changes to become the man who he believes is worthy of Chloe, and he never stopped loving her. I love all the descriptions of the Hudson Valley setting that Jennifer Probst details, it makes me want to visit. I love how the naming of rescues after Disney characters continued in Begin Again. My favorite part of the book is the epilogue I truly love how it goes above and beyond the happily ever after, and how Chloe takes matters into her own hand. Begin Again is filled with the poignant and bittersweet moments in the story as well as the plot twists, that I have come to love and expect in Jennifer Probst's stories. I love the cast of characters in Begin Again it felt like a family reunion catching up with the all the Bishops and all their good news. Who doesn’t love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Begin Again; I highly recommend this wonderful second chance at first love romance.

    Thank you to Jennifer Probst for hosting a giveaway of one of her newest books, Begin Again. Being a huge fan of her work, I was super excited that I won!

    A quick read, this second chance novella was filled with passion. Chloe and Owen were madly in love as teenagers on a rescue farm they both worked at. That is, until Owen broke her heart. Four years later, he’s back & ready to prove to her that he’s a new man & worthy of her.

    Owens growth of finding himself & Chloe’s passion for animal rights stood out the most to me in this story. As an animal lover, I loved the fact that this story was focused on fighting for animal rights. The relationships that Probst created between coworkers & family also made the story meaningful.

    Haven’t read a story by Jennifer Probst yet? I recommend Begin Again to get your feet wet in Jennifer’s style of writing, you’ll be hooked!

    What’s better than a second chance romance, nothing when it comes to Chloe Lake & Owen Salt.
    Chloe Salt is a woman who has been in the spotlight for most of her life, she has gone through her struggles but now she is a woman on a mission, to save and advocate for the rights of animals. She is also known as “The Bachelorette of New York City” but when the one man who you thought was going to be your forever comes home she finds herself and her life shifted.
    Owen Salt is a man who has made a success of himself, becoming a lawyer, by proving to himself that he can be the man his grandfather always knew he could be but the one person he wanted to be more for was Chloe and he is on a mission to make her understand why he did what he did not only for himself but for her too.
    The chemistry between these two has always be dynamite and even after all this time they realize it is still there, but can two people get past all the hurt and come together to find that HEA that is what we hope for this Fantastic Couple.
