Book Description
LOVE IS A DAGGER.
After dying in a devastating car crash, Levi wakes up twelve years in the past, back at the moment he walked out on the love of his life. His marriage to Sloane is shattered by betrayal, and his family left in ruins. But now, with the knowledge of everything he's lost, and everything that's coming, he's been given one impossible gift: a second chance.
This time, Levi will do anything to make things right. To prove to Sloane that he sees her now, and show her that she was always the one for him - even if he has to spend the rest of his life proving it.
As the world quietly begins to crumble, Levi and Sloane must confront the wreckage of their past while fighting to protect their children and each other. Through heartbreak, healing, and the slow rekindling of a once-shattered love, they'll discover that survival isn't just about enduring the end - it's about choosing one another, again and again.
One More Chance is the prequel of a gripping dark psychological romance series, Heretical Gods, where time bends, betrayal cuts deep and redemption demands everything. It is a raw, emotional marriage-in-crisis romance told from the MMC POV that ends HEA. It focuses on the lies, redemption, and the wreckage left behind when love is tested to its limits. While this is a contemporary romance, please note that the epilogue opens up the Dark Fantasy romance with Fated Rebirth.

My Thoughts
One More Chance by Reno R. Mist, brilliantly narrated by Jonathan Waters, is far more than a typical second-chance romance; it’s a gripping, emotional rollercoaster that takes the marriage-in-crisis trope to a whole new level. This prequel to the Heretical Gods series uses a powerful hook—time travel—to explore themes of betrayal, redemption, and impossible love.
The story begins with an instantly engaging idea: Levi, the main character, dies in a devastating car crash only to wake up twelve years in the past, given a seemingly impossible gift: a second chance to fix the mistakes that shattered his marriage to Sloane and ruined his family. This setup provides a strong foundation for a compelling redemption arc, pulling the reader right into the story with prose that flows easily and keeps you curious.
Levi’s journey hits hard. Knowing all the pain he has caused and lost, he fights relentlessly to prove to Sloane that she was always the one for him. The groveling and regret are palpable and real, making you root for them the entire time, even when you don't agree with his past decisions. Sloane is a strong, understandably guarded character, but you can feel her walls slowly start to crack as the story unfolds. Their chemistry and history are messy, complicated, and completely addicting.
The book leans on several familiar tropes of the genre, making it feel comfortable and recognizable for fans of second-chance and redemption arcs. It is a raw, emotional marriage-in-crisis romance told from the MMC's point of view that ultimately ends with an HEA, focusing on the lies, redemption, and the wreckage left behind when love is tested.
One More Chance is not just romance, though. As the world quietly begins to crumble, Levi and Sloane must confront their past while fighting to protect their children, adding suspense and a bit of a dystopian edge to the narrative. It delivers heartbreak, action, steamy tension, and small moments of hope that make their survival dependent on choosing one another, again and again.
While the story is strong, it does stumble slightly in pacing. The last stretch of the book feels uneven and a bit dragged out, with some anticlimactic chapters that could have been trimmed, dulling the impact of the final resolution. However, the emotional beats are consistently strong, and the overall story is something else entirely.
If you love dark romance with high-angst tension, complicated characters that feel raw and real, and a time-bending twist, definitely give this one a shot. Be prepared to experience a full range of emotions.
