Story
What’s a four-letter word for an utterly oblivious, totally commitment-phobic, heartbreakingly gorgeous man with a pet pig named Bernadette? That’d be D-U-N-N, as in Dunn Johnson, my very best pal and fishing buddy since I moved to Licking Thicket. What’s a six-letter word for a nerdy, crossword-loving town doctor who’s doomed to be hopelessly, thoroughly, irrevocably, in love with that straight best friend for the rest of his born days? That’s T-U-C-K-E-R, as in me.

Story
I was supposed to be partying with a bunch of celebrities in paradise this week, okay? But then, I made one teeny, tiny error in judgement before leaving New York. Now, I find myself shacked up with my fake boyfriend Beale Goodman, Whispering Key’s most adorable, most enormous, most virginal cinnamon roll - a guy who rescues feral cats, believes in soulmates, and talks about happiness like it’s free for the taking. A guy who nearly convinces me, with every smile and kiss, that it is.

Guess he wasn't as straight as I thought. Ethan's full of surprises, though, and being bi is just one of them. As cocky as he can be, he's also sharp and witty and, even when he's being his most arrogant self, he's charming as hell. He likes to win, but so do I. However, as we get to know each other, I realize there's more to us than the games we play in and out of the bedroom.

Publisher's Summary
Everyone has a secret. Laurence has two. The father of his twin boys isn't who everybody thinks it is, but after escaping his abusive ex-husband and spending months in therapy, Laurence is done putting his trust in alphas. He's going to build a new future for himself and his sons, and he's going to do it all by himself.
Except that emergency substitute karate teacher instructing his twins? That's the alpha he spent a reckless night with in his youth. His best friend's big brother. His lifelong crush...and the twins' actual father.
When Laurence returns to Oceanport visibly scarred, Aaron feels guilty. Maybe if he had admitted to his crush, Laurence wouldn’t have gotten together with the bastard who treated him so badly. But Aaron has always had the hardest time facing his feelings for the younger omega. After all, who sleeps with their baby brother’s best friend?
Now that they’re both adults, Aaron wants nothing more than to take care of Laurence and give them another shot, but he can’t shake the feeling that there’s something the omega is hiding from him and the secrets Laurence is keeping might just be bigger than anything he ever imagined possible.

Amazing addition the Second Chances series, Small-Town Secrets captured my heart. Best friends' brother, secret babies, adorable dogs and kids, protective and caring Alpha and a strong omega survivor... This book delivered on all fronts. Funny, sweet, and perfect. Definitely recommend.
Narration is done by John Solo. A fantastic job. The characters really stand out in their personalities. Easy to lose self in story. great job.

Great story
This was a sweet story. I loved John Solo's narration as usual. Not my favorite story by this writing dynamo but sweet none the less. I can't complain that the characters were not well written because they were. My only issue was how they were written. It made me want to skip through parts as the beginning was quite slow and I can't believe how dense the two main characters were written.
Like I said, this writing duo is awesome and I normally enjoy their writing. The characters in this story just were not my cup of tea.

Small-Town Secrets
Two men share a secret past but to Laurence there is more to the story. When he returns to his hometown, he finds the man of his dreams is still around and soon to be teaching his children. Can Laurence keep the truth from Aaron, or will the truth finally come out? Will the men act on their attraction and keep the children safe while giving them a family?
This is a sweet story about love and never giving up on it. Both Aaron and Laurence try so hard to deny their feelings and always thinking that the other is not interested. It full of emotions and good characters. I enjoyed seeing their relationship take shape and the way the children’s feelings were always taken into account and were not glossed over as just a happy ever after. It was nice to see the love of the whole family alongside the romance of Aaron and Laurence. Narrator John Solo does a great job of bringing these men to life and letting the emotions come through.

Sweet story for Laurence and Aaron and their kids
Small-Town Secrets is the second book in this series, which is a spin-off from the Oceanport series. This story works well as a standalone, although it might work best having at least read Mating of Convenience first.
Laurence is trying to make a life for himself and his twin boys after having left his abusive alpha. He also has found out for certain that Howard, his alpha who physically abused him, is not the biological father for his twins - that would be Aaron, his older brother's best friend. Laurence knows he needs to tell Aaron the truth, especially once Aaron really starts becoming a part of their lives, but how do you tell someone eight years later they are a father?
This was a sweet story, although it had a bit of a slow start for me, to be honest. So much of the first part of the book focuses on Laurence's sons, Chris and Tyler, and honestly I wanted the focus to be on Laurence trying to gain some independence and become more self-sufficient. And then Aaron is just a bit...oblivious? Passive? to so many things that went on between him and Laurence. And I know that Laurence is the younger brother, so he should be considered off-limits, but the age gap between the two of them isn't that major - it's not like Aaron was already 30 when Laurence was just 17.
I listened to this in audiobook format, and I really enjoyed John Solo's narration, as always! He does a great job with voices, and he always has such emotion in the dialogue (he does the hurt omega and strong alpha voices so well).
I simply CANNOT wait for the next/final book of this series - it's Jake and Conner! CAKE!

Sweet Story
This was a very sweet story of an abused omega finally getting the family he truly deserves.
I'm so glad Laurence is finally with the right alpha. After everything he went through, it's amazing that he was still willing to take a chance on a former crush. What's even better is Aaron's desire to care for his omega, even when he takes on two boys that he thought belonged to someone else. When he discovers that Laurence's twins are actually his, he steps up even more to be a great dad (despite almost ruining Christmas).
As always, John has done a great job with another Oceanport story and I look forward to listening to him in the future.

second chance
I was disappointed that Laurence kept the secret from Aaron fir so long when he had so many opportunities to tell him. Aaron and the twins all missed out on quality time together. I couldn't stop listening or cheering for them to get together. Ups and downs, but love wins in the end. 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.

secrets Never Stay Secret
There's just something so relaxing about listening to an amazing story narrated by such a talented voice.
This is the story of Laurence, divorced omega dad of twin 7 yo boys and his teenage crush, Aaron. The men meet after years of no contact.
The characters are well developed. The storyline flows smoothly. There are precocious kids, smart dogs, cute puppies, secrets and more secrets.

Lawrence has faced so much and is trying to the right thing by his kids despite how hard it is. Aaron proves that he is a great guy with his caring even before he learns the truth of his connection to this family. He continues to show what a great guy he is by understanding all that motivated what came before yet can acknowledge his own sense of lost. Lawrence continues to show his own inner strength in helping to build this new life together.

A New Chance at a Family
Small Town Secrets is the second book in the Second Chances series and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly suggest reading all the books in the Oceanport Omegas series and Second Chances series to fully enjoy this universe.
This book deals with some very serious issues, but there’s enough fluff and sweetness to balance out all the angst. Laurence is a fascinating character who has to dig deep to find the strength he needs to give his kids the best life they can have. I admire this strength and his ability to move forward and find love. The romance between Laurence and Aaron was really sweet and watching them build their family was wonderful.
