I really like the start to this series and I love how it tied into the Rules series. Here, we see Andrew, a friend to and employee of Landon’s, reconnecting with Clara. She was once the girl he teased mercilessly and is now his colleague and a woman for whom he can’t get enough. It’s both cute and pathetic.
Andrew still reverts to his childish ways on occasion in attempts to get Clara’s attention. The story teeters between happy and sad as pasts are revealed with some big secrets surfacing in very public ways.
One of my favorite parts is how Clara handled the situation with her ex. It’s fabulous! I could easily picture it and was cheering her on each time it was mentioned.
I’d suggest reading or listening to the Rules series first. There are spoilers for that series in this one. Don’t worry, it’s worth it.
I went between reading and listening to the audio. The narrator, Leanne Woodward, did a good job. I’m looking forward to what comes next in the series.
Story: 4 stars
Narration: 3.5 stars
This story starts after broken rules and I loved how you got to meet landon and Aurora again as Clara and Andrew face there broken history. Clara can’t believe she’s finally got her dream job but that is short lived after she find out that Andrew Contius is her boss and childhood bully from school. Things heat up between them and start to change which had me guessing from the start if things will change for the better or will Clara be unable to deal with her past. This has everything you could want to read with the cheeky stubborn bad boy Andrew who knows what he wants and Clara who try’s to stay out of trouble and not draw attention to her self and I loved there prov between each other that gives you there thoughts on how they feel during the story and I can’t wait to read the next instalment
This was a really slow build bully second chance romance. Not my favorite trope to begin with and the FMC is just fixated on her past without the willingness to let it go until 3/4 way into the book. It got old for me. All guys are jerks in high school and he’s obviously making an effort to show her he’s changed. Then just when they get started drama from her past and his break them apart and she goes into hiding like a baby and won’t even talk to him. I will read book 2 only because this writer never lets me down so I’m hoping for the character to grow a backbone and let’s get this show on the road already.
What a intense read that will have you hooked from the first page
This story is very interesting and intense hate-to-love story. Clara have already difficult past and even more complicate family history, adding to it that she is to work with with the one boy that harassed her restlessly her whole school years. She want to hate him. And Andrew do exactly what he done to,her those years ago, trying to pick her attention, trying to get some reaction, trying to get what he stupidly lost in the past. Sparks are flying and the finish together, and they are perfect tpgether.. well.. until the cliffhanger .
Repeating History by Hanleigh Bradley is a great read!
Enemies to lovers Clara and Andrew are find themselves working for the same company after Clara comes back home to live. Really enjoyed the banter between the two characters!
Clara was bullied by Andrew when they went to school together and she hoped that she’d never see him again, however he is a colleague at her new dream job. They are attracted to each other but Clara struggles to get over the way he treated her in the past, however much Andrew pursues her.
Really well written story, Clara is likeable but I just couldn’t like Andrew, he never showed any remorse for the bullying he inflicted on her, just kept dismissing it as teasing.
Excellent twist to the story at the end.
Repeating History starts out as a lighthearted and amusing story of two adults, now co-workers, who spent most of their childhood living next door to each other, but never really understanding the heart or mind of the other. Clara is certain that Andrew lived to tease and humiliate her, without a care for how she felt. Andrew lived his whole life, hoping to get her attention by any means possible. Don’t most little boys show that they like a girl by pulling her pigtails or try to get their attention by throwing apples at them? Now in her new job, Andrew is Clara’s boss and he’s still as cute as the young boy she knew and he’s still chewing on apples whenever she sees him. But those painful memories of how he humiliated her, haven’t gone away. He feels the same way he always did about Clara and isn’t going to let her get away from him without at least fighting for her. Clara starts to understand that her angry reaction to his bullying is covering the real feelings she has for him. Yes, she’s always liked him, too, but couldn’t see it until now. How can they have a growing attraction and relationship at work and not get caught by their co-workers! Clara demands that they stay away from each other in the office so their collegues don’t know what’s going on between them. What she doesn’t know is that they have an office bet as to when the two will get together! Andrew’s and Clara’s siblings provide depth to the story and definitely have a way of encouraging or discouraging their romance. The story is rich with side characters that are essential to the progression of the plot. Just when things are coming together for Clara and Andrew, secrets from their pasts look like they’re going to pull them apart. Those surprises are shocking in some ways, yet so maddening. A scandal is right around the corner that is going to test all that they know and feel for one another. I’m left with a tense feeling, needing to know what happens next! I listened to this on audible and the narration was excellent! Leanne Woodward speaks each voice and does them all admirably. Each character has a sound and a personality that she is able to bring through in her narration, making them all come alive!
Repeating History by Hanleigh Bradley is a enemies to lovers romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Leanne Woodward.
This is the second book of Hanleigh’s that I have read and it definitely won’t by my last. The story does end on a cliffhanger but that was no surprise since it’s the first book in the History Series. I cannot wait for the second book Deleting History to be released on audible.
Leanne did a good job on the narration. I look forward to listening to more of her work in the future.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves enemies to lovers or second chance romances.
A fantastic listen this Author and Narrator has done a fabulous job at bringing this story to life. I really felt for both the main characters and I am really excited to listen to the next in the series. I literally could not go to bed until I was finished listening. I was on the edge of my seat. There are twists and turns that definitely keep me glued to this audio. This Author really knows how to grab the audience. I definitely recommend this listen.

Andrew is my new book boyfriend! Great story Clara and Andrews chemistry is off the charts. The narrator is good she moves in and out of characters easily but I’m just not a fan of an American narrator for a British book. But it is still a great story and does hav a good narrator. That just my pet peeve as it sounds weird
Clara and Andrew have history together. He was her nemesis all through school. teasing and bullying her. She really had a crush om him. She didn’t understand why he was so mean. Years later, Clara found out when she got her dream job, she would be working with Andrew. she dreaded working with him. she would she give him a chance and let him in? This story has many unexpected twists and turns that will effect many characters lives, in this story. and it ends in a cliffhanger. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story narrated by Leanne Woodward..I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.
This is the first book in the History Series, an office romance. Clara and Andrew is interesting, sweet, and romantic. They shared a past together, where Clara was getting bullied by Andrew. While working together, they learn to know each other. The story has twists and turns, and ends with a cliffhanger. Leanne Woodward did a good job with the narration. I was given a free review copy of the audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
this was a really good book! she needed a new start after her break up. she has a new job and new look. her new boss is the guy who bullied her for years and who she had a crush on.
Two characters that have known each other many years. He was not the kindest when they were children but he wants to make it up to her and show her why he was acting as he was. But she has now grown up and can stand up for herself. Can they get past this and get their HEA?
Likeable characters. Well written story with nice storyline.
Clara and Andrew have a history, and not a good one. When Clara starts her new job she is shocked to find Andrew there too. How is she going to cope with him there all the time? A great read, even though cliff hangers are not my favourite…so glad the next book is available now!!
