I love a good second chance romance and Chelle Bliss delivered that in Mend. It was a quick read but definitely worth reading. I enjoyed the journey of Evie & Jack falling back in love and overcoming the misunderstandings that tore them apart in the first place. Thank you delivering another great story Chelle Bliss.

There was so much I loved about Bryan & Jases second chances love story! Where to start? Bryan and Jase meet in the military, Bryan is out and proud, but Jase, although curious, is married. They experience a steamy weekend before going their separate ways, Jase facing a divorce from his cheating wife. A year later they meet up at a buddy's wedding, Jase is still with his wife and has a 3 month old baby, Grayson. This is where I really fell in love with the story! Bryan and Jase rekindle their sexual attraction and there are a few scorching scenes! Bryan adores little Grayson and his feelings for Jase get more intense. Once again, they go their separate ways. Several years later, Jase, whose wife has no interest in her son, realizes he wants Bryan and makes a huge decision to uproot himself and Grayson and move closer to Bryan. Their chance meeting in the middle of a huge gaming convention is EPIC. Bryan and Jase begin their lives together with Grayson and Ms. Ellis writes a  sweet, wonderful HEA. You need to read this wonderful story to get the rest! I will use a quote I absolutely loved, though.

**********
After Jases dad finds out about them and forces Jase and Grayson to leave their home with Bryan:

I miss him already. I miss my room there. I miss Juanita, and I miss your smile for him. Hey, Ive still got a smile because I still have you. I never wanted my son to think he wasn't enough to make me happy. I know, but your smile for Bryan was special in a different way than your special smile for me.

Run and pick up this beautiful second chances story and fall in love with Bryan, Jase and Grayson!

This is a wonderful second chance/Beauty & the Beast romance! I love Mateo & Olivia and their story that brings them full circle. Olivia was the 'wild child' of the Sweet triplets. Her beauty and the outrageous behavior that she got away with allowed her to build walls to hide behind. But she was way more than a sinful body that earned her success on the catwalks and magazine covers. She was also smart enough to find success in the corporate world. That is until her ex. boyfriend took everything from her and she was forced to go home to Salvation. Mateo was a sexy, cocky marine filled with raw power and confidence. He never planned to return to Salvation much less as the scarred man he had become. He and Olivia had been friends with benefits, meeting in hotels around the country when their schedules allowed and before Mateo was deployed. Now they are both back in Salvation and forced to work together on a project to help the veterans center. With the Sweet reputation for causing havoc and a mayor who holds a mean grudge, it is an up hill battle to find support for the project. Mateo doesn't think he is worthy enough for Olivia or that he is dependable. So Olivia's walls are still in place to protect her heart against his rejections like the last time they were together. Working so close together, will they be able to deny their love or the explosive chemistry they have for one another? Will their meddling family members allow them too? We get to catch up with Miranda, Natalie, Logan and Sean along with an interesting peek into Ruby's back story. I also enjoyed the clever banter and the fun southern-isms throughout. Add together Ruby's pecan pie, a three legged cat named Handsome, a stray dog without a name, a sleezy mayor, and an even sleezier ex. boyfriend and you have a recipe for a wonderfully fun and exciting read! Trouble on Tap is a marvelous conclusion to this series!

Omg Omg Omg!!!  This book gave me goosebumps, tears, and joker looking smiles!  Rachel Van Dyken you just set my soul on fire with this!

Steal is book three in Seaside Pictures and this book has stolen my heart and soul.  You don't have to read the first books to understand the story, but they do add some more insight to the characters.
This is a second chance romance and I'm a huge fan of these.  You will want to read this in one sitting trust me!  Rachel wove a stunning story about choices, consequences, love and forgiveness.

Will and Angelica, two superstars living the dream, right?  Will is a famous rockstar and Angelica is the "it" actress.  Young, rich and in love.  Angelica and Will were soul mates who made choices that disintegrate their relationship.  Those choices brought betrayal, lies, secrets and hate.  But did it break their bond completely and did it destroy their love?

This broke my heart and I found myself crying over Angelica.  She was trying so hard, but she had so much guilt and only saw herself as dirty and evil.  How can she ask people to forgive and accept her, if she can't do it herself?
Will was filled with so much hate and revenge, I was sure if he could ever get past it.  He was blaming her for everything and wasn't seeing the big picture.  All he saw was his broken heart.

Her relationship with Will was teetering on the edge of destruction again, but can this two come together to heal?  Can forgiveness set them free?  Is there any hope for the buried love still burning in them?

Rachel completely broke me down with their story.  The depth of love and emotions you feel while reading this will rip you open.  Seriously split by heart open...Rachel throws in some twists that will shock you and have you spinning.  The history these two share is brought forth and shaped them into who they are now.  Will they embrace their new lives or can they get back to who they were before the aftermath?

We get too see the characters from all the other Seaside stories, which is always exciting.  You get some laughs and let me say I was craving mallows after reading this...lol.  I want to be part of this town and family.
I also felt for the "villain" in the story.  They may not be what we all think they are and I'm salivating for this story!!  I am sure Rachel has another captivating story in the works.

Steal is a book you need to read.  I highly recommend this beautiful second chance love story.  But be warned this will give you the feels.  Have some tissues ready because it grips your heart hard!

I am freaking impressed that this is a debut novel! Wow! I loved it! C.L. Sayers gives us a little bit of everything in this second chance romance! I laughed, I cried and I did some MAJOR swooning!

C.L. Sayers had me entranced from the beginning of the story. That prologue. WHOA. I needed to know what was going to happen with the characters! I was very intrigued! The sexy times between Fintan and Livvy were off the charts steamy! And I enjoyed the banter between them. They kept me grinning from ear to ear!

Robbed definitely had some emotional moments. The pain that both of these characters experienced in their past was so heart breaking. Events that are very real and any one of us can relate to. I felt my heart squeezing and breaking on more than one occasion. I felt all of the emotions one could possibly feel while traveling this journey with Livvy and Fintan. I felt their pain. I felt their happiness. I felt their heart ache. I felt all of it! It takes a great writer to achieve that and Sayers did it with eloquence.

I enjoyed this book very much and can't wait to read more from C.L. Sayers! If you're looking for a fun, yet emotional romance that will have you cheering to give love a second chance, then you need to get Robbed! See what I did there?

*I volunteered to review a Copy of this book from Give Me Books Promotions*

Thank you so very much Give Me Books Promotions!! I am extremely honored and grateful!! :)

First off, let me start off by saying how stinking excited i was to see this beauty on my Kindle!! I totally did a happy dance and I am not embarrassed. Having read the whole series so far I couldn't wait for Ford's book!! I've been curious about him ever since he was first introduced and I am so glad he got his very own book. It did NOT disappoint!! This one might be my favorite of the series and that's saying a lot because I love them all!! I enjoyed seeing some familiar faces especially some particular men. ;)

Swear is about Ford Landry and Ellie Pagan. Two people who share a complicated past brought together once more. Can they take a chance again? Or will it be too hard? Oh my sweet Ford!! I love him so so very much!! His pain along with Ellie's broke my heart. I really liked Ellie as well. I wasn't sure how their story would turn out which had me biting my bottom lip as my eyes never turned away from my kindle.

Ms. Locke sure knows how to write one hell of a novel!! This book had so much heart, swoon worthy / blush worthy moments, humor, and everything in between. It was realistic to the point I felt as if I was spying on real people which thrilled me to no end. I can't get this story out of my head nor do I want it to. I am so excited for Swink!! :)

If you haven't already One-Clicked, What exactly are you waiting for?!?! You CAN'T miss out on Swear or better yet Ford!! Trust me, you want to meet Ford. I swear he may be my new favorite Landry but I'll never tell. ;) If you haven't started the Landry Family Series, what have you been doing with your life?! Change that right now and get these kindle melting brothers!! You can thank me later. ;) I hope you love this one as much as I did my fellow book lovers!! 5 Stars all around, I'd give it a million more if I could!! :)

This is my first book from Alex Grayson but between the blurb and the awesome cover, I had to give this one a try. And I'm super glad I did because I LOVED this book! Just from the blurb, I knew this would be a HAVE-A-BOX-OF-TISSUES-ON-HAND kind of book and Ms. Grayson didn't disappoint. I almost feel like this is a story about second chances, not because Alexander and Gwen were previous lovers but because they were able to find a new beginning with each other. Their romance is a slow burn riddled with tortured memories, guilt and angst. Alexander really had to overcome the most since the weight of his self-condemnation was the heaviest. As the story unfolds, it becomes obvious why he's so emotionally (and physically) scarred. His part of the story turned me into a blubbering mess, I really felt so sad for him! Then there's Gwen and her two kids, Kelsey and Daniel. Gwen is one tough Mama!! Not only was she suffering from the loss of her husband, she also had to be strong for her kids, especially Kelsey who doesn't speak. The only relief from all the awful grief is the shining star that's little Daniel, he's funny and sweet. Overall, I give this story 4.5 stars simply because I wanted Gwen and Alexander to find their happiness together (and as a whole family) faster! Told from dual POVs with a happy ending. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

I love a good second chance romance by Melissa Foster! And the fact that this is book one in the series make me giddy!

Willow and Zane are getting a second chance. Zane was Willow's brother's best friend and also her first! She asked him to be her first and help her out. She had a crazy list of rules following their fling that limited their future together. She did not think they could have one. Now, Zane is a famous actor and Willow has a bakery. Zane tricks Willow into meeting him and helping him by being his fake fiancee.

Willow and Zane are getting a second chance at the relationship they could have had when they were younger. Older and more mature, they have to deal with their pasts and present.

I love a good second chance romance novel and SL Scott brings us a great one in Danny- Models on Top.  The story goes back and forth from past to present revolving around Danny and Reese.  Danny is at the top of world being a top fashion model.  Reese has worked her way up from the bottom to the top of a big New York advertising agency but both were once normal college students in Nebraska and in love.  Doing one modeling job lead Danny to book another, and another and soon he was away more times than he was home.  Reese made the toughest decision she has ever made and followed her own dream.

Danny and Reese are given a second chance at love but it seems like so much is working against them.  They still harbor a deep feeling for each other but with that also comes with fear.  They both have been deeply hurt by the other so many years ago.  Can they make things work all these years later?

I also loved the supporting cast in this book!  Vinnie the designer is by far my favorite character and was larger than life!  He added a little chuckle here and there with his tell it like it is attitude and the flair to be a bit dramatic.  I loved it!!  He is a hopeless romantic and can see that Danny and Reese are meant to be together and he will do whatever he can to get them to also see that.

This was a one that I definitely would recommend and seriously enjoyed! This is also a hot one that will make you fall in love and have you swooning in the end!

"First of all I want to say THANK YOU SHANORA for giving away an ARC of this book. Lucky ME, I was one of the 2 chosen!! Yay! ;) As soon as I received it I told her that I would put on hold what I was reading to start on this book. even though she said I didn't have to, I felt that as a thank you to her for giving me this opportunity!! I'm so glad that I did! I couldn't put it down! This is the first book I've ever read of Shanora's (I have Obtained waiting for me, but haven't started it yet), so I didn't know what to expect.

Natalie Carmichael just graduated HS, has a great friends and a perfect boyfriend that she's been with since her freshman year. The guy that she thought would be her forever....until that one night that shatters her world and her heart!
Looking for an escape she decides to leave it behind, she packs up her car and heads to Miami to live with her friend Harper. She's looking to start over and have fun, and in the process hopes to heal her broken heart. She decided that she is done with LOVE, until she literally runs into Nolan Young with her car! The attraction between them is instantaneous!

Nolan Young is gorgeous with his perfect smile, perfect chiseled abs and beautiful grey eyes... He knows what he wants. And what he wants is Natalie. But will his own problems in the past come between them or send Natalie running? Especially as he finds out why she's so guarded with her heart in the first place... Or will they be ones to heal one another?

The chemistry between Natalie & Nolan Is crazy. One of my favorite scenes is on their first date @ the Steak-n-Shake, had my mouth open and reading it over again just to make sure i read it right!! And the sex scenes... Pretty HOT! Thank my lucky stars I was reading comfortably in my own room so that people aren't looking at me like I'm crazy, wondering what the hell I'm smiling about! Haha

I loved this book and hope that Shanora will write another one so that we can follow in Natalie and Nolan's story. I want to see what happens next between them, if they can survive what happens next...

THANK YOU AGAIN SHANORA!! If you're waiting for this book, it's worth the wait, so when it comes out go out and buy it! It really is HARD TO RESIST!!! <3"

First off I have to say that I begged for this book! I was first introduced to Sharon's writing with her book The Chat. Also an incredible story, but while one man get his happily ever after with the girl the other man is left heartbroken and alone. That is where His Second Chance Love comes into place. The book I so desperately needed...Will the man I feel in love with in The Chat find his true love as well? Well His Second Chance Love rocked my world! The main character is hard not to love. He is established in his career, sexy, incredibly attentive, and thoughtful. There is a never a dull moment. It has a dramatic experience, passion, fun, and love with twists and turns I never saw coming. It's one of those books you just don't want to put down. If I wasn't reading, I was still thinking about the book. Sharon brought all the characters to life so flawlessly that I felt like I knew them. I don't want to give anything away but I laughed, smiled often, and cried.  I waited for this book and it was more than I could have dreamed of! It has truly become one of my favorite stories!

Breathe is the second book in the Rosewood Bay series by Carly Phillips. This was a beautifully written second chance love story. Phoebe and Jake met while both were in foster care and fell in love.

I loved the little update with Halley and Kane and Im so ready for Juliette and Bradens story!

The Wild Aces series is quickly becoming an all-time favorite so far both books in the series have blown me away and I am expecting the third one to do the same. Into the Blue was one of my most anticipated books for July and it certainly did not disappoint. This is Thors story and while we only spent a little bit of time with him in Fly With Me,  I was so looking forward to his story. Second chance romances hold a special place in my heart and if two people deserve a second chance, its Eric Jensen, call sign Thor, and Becca Madison.

It had been 10 long years since Eric and Becca had seen each other they were once madly in love, engaged, and planning a life together, that is until Eric left to pursue his career as an F16 fighter pilot. Ultimately choosing an aircraft over the love of his life. Becca was not only left heartbroken but slightly bitter and no longer able to trust easily. Fast forward to the here and now and Eric is back in town. Their first encounter a shock and his return to their hometown even more of a shock. From the moment they first see each other those old feelings that really never left, return in full force. Becca so reluctant and angry and Eric so ready to fight for the woman he was never able to forget. Becca is clearly still harboring pain and holding on tight to her heart, one that she was never able to give away again. And Eric is filled with regret over that one life choice that changed everything.

It had taken me years to get over him, years to get to the point where the sound of his name didn't send a dagger through my heart.

From the readers perspective, obviously we know that this is their second chance and their time to be together, the question is how will they finally get to their Happily Ever After? And this is where Ms. Cleeton shows her brilliant writing ability. Shes able to make us understand Eric and the choices he made and shes able to make us truly hope Becca can open her heart again. This isn't a quick, happy reunion, and I loved that. The military aspect of the story is full on Eric cant just walk way, and Becca has a job she loves as a local attorney. The obstacles they face are real and even though they do fall into bed, and they seriously burn up the sheets, that is not enough. As hot as Thor is, he needs to win his girls heart again and make her trust him enough to let him back in. The push and pull between these two characters is magnificent.

It seemed like my entire adult life had been spent either running from or to this one girl. She was the compass when I was so lost I couldn't find my way.

Bottom line, this book is GOOD.  It has the right blend of real life, obstacles to overcome, hearts that need to be mended, and some of the hottest scenes written. These characters are mature and complex,  and this story is beautifully written. Into the Blue is steamy, sexy, and exhilarating! Add it to your summer TBR and be ready to fall in love with the sexy world of fighter pilots. And seriously, Easys story cant get here soon enough!!!
