I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review, Seal'd fate is a second chance romance for Becky and Hugo. Hugo made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked away from Becky ending their engagement. Walking into the woods changes everything, these two get their second chance when fate tells Hugo Becky needs him. A mix of heartfelt emotion, laughter and swooness.

Oh Em Gee.... words are escaping me right now. This is touching and inspiring story of how fate can be a fickle bitch when she wants to.
Owen and Auburn first cross paths briefly while each struggling though a trying time in their lives.  Without ever formally meeting, they are able to touch eachothers lives in a more profound way than either of them realizes at the time.

I'd like to belive that Adam plays a part in them finding their way back together later in life. Their inescapable magnetism to one another only creates more hurdles for them to overcome. Can they break through the barriers between them? Will they get a second chance at fate leading them to a happily ever after?

This is an excellent story about having a chance to re-live a past event, and possibly alter the outcome, and all of the circunstances that would be affected. The lesson becomes clear when he sees where he is, and finally accepts the blessings in his life.

A great, believable story.  Romance, abuse, childhood trauma, family loyalty, trust, patience, hope - all in the story.

I enjoyed this series thoroughly. One of long lost love, grief and given love a second chance. It's never too late to love again.

Second chance at its finest.  Charity suffers through every brides worst nightmare - being jilted just hours before her dream wedding.  Though years have passed, she realizes she still is in love with her former fiance.  We follow through their reconnection and rebudding romance, not easy at times but a nice HEA as a conclusion. Who wouldn't love a man who rents out the entire Seattle Space Needle just to order dessert?

Vol 2 picks up with Charity and Brandon learning more about each other as they live together - even with a famous movie star, it's not all fun and games.  The story continues to develop a romance that gets stronger even as hurdles of paparazzi and media are jumped. Tempers flare but at the end, love (and puppies) conquers all.

Vol 3  the conclusion of the trilogy has the reader getting to know the families a bit better, showing that love isn't automatic and family emergencies can either tie us closer together or break us.  I love how Ms Cole chose to end this delightful romance.  For that, you'll just have to read it.

Told through the eyes of the three main characters, Hat Trick gives the reader a deeper understanding of the story and the character's' mindset as they weave through their lives.  This is a book about a brother and sister, Myla and Brayden Cox. They have not had an easy life.  Dreams were shattered in this second chances  story.  While not the type of second chances story you maybe thinking, it has a lot of angst moments that make it a quick page turner.
Myla is about to graduate high school and head towards the Olympics as an ice skater.  Her brother, Brayden, has made the Otters hockey team despite their father's actions tarnishing the Cox name.  Tragedy strikes the Cox family once again and this accident destroys Mylas dreams.
Gavin Hayes has reached team captain despite his father being the manager for the Otters.  Gavin doesn't have the best of father and son relationship.  Gavins life is going great.  His dreams seem to be coming true, until his fiance stands him up at the altar making him give up on relationships and happy endings.  Gavin's life is turned upside down when he meets his teammate's sister, Myla, and it would have to be the one teammate that he doesnt get along with.  Will Gavin and Myla overcome the obstacles of their families and the baggage of their pasts to survive as a couple?  Can their shattered dreams ever be mended?
As I said, this is not your typical second chance story about love, it is about second chances with life.  Myla was given that second chance when she survived that accident that took her mothers life. With the encouragement and loving support of her brother, still took her two years from that accident to start to live again.  It was great to see what a close bond these siblings have, even when they don't agree with each other.
As close of a relationship that Brayden and Myla have, Gavin and his parents are the total opposite.  The way they would treat him made me want to jump into the book just to yell at them to let him be his own person.  The reaction Gavin has, when he first meets Myla and later helps Brayden out with a situation, show that Gavin can change and have his second chance especially after the person he thought was it for him walks out on him.
I loved how the author told this story in the points of view of Myla, Brayden and Gavin.  It helped the story flow and was a necessary tool to tell this story.  This is the first book I have read by this author and it will not be my last.  I have debated on how to write this review because it is a quicker read than I am used to and it not being a typical romantic second chances plot.  I'm really hoping that Brayden will have his own story.  We were able to get to know him in Hat Trick, but there is more to him and I also feel like Gavin and Myla have more to them, as well, which is one of the reasons for my four star rating.  There were several unanswered questions for me and I would have much preferred the book to have been longer than having the annoying sneak peaks of other books.

I really enjoy the second chance romances from Liz Isaacson.  Especially moving are those stories that includes experiences from veterans.

I was touched by how well she described the survivor's guilt of those with lesser bodily injuries. Also very moved by her portrayal of the families left behind, and how they coped- or didn't.

Being the family of a vet is a lifelong experience.  The good, the bad, the ugly.

This story gives hope not only for Love, but for the forgiveness we need to move on and move forward with our lives.

Whether we're the spouse left behind, or the warrior who ordered someone to take the shot, at himself, to save others.
Well painted the fear and anger for the family left behind.

It's a chance for forgiveness and new beginnings, as individuals, and as a family.

If you enjoy hope in harsh circumstances, hope you enjoy this book, and this series too.

I did not see that coming. Nina and Griffin meet by chance in a parking lot. Fate brings them back together and they spend a wonderful time together. They have a connection but a series of events tear them apart. What happens when you can't stop thinking of that one person that turned your world upside down? Will they be able to beat the odds? Get ready to be drawn into a story that is well written and will keep you flipping the pages of your Kindle.
I received an ARC for an honest review.

Congratulation's on your first book..  Tragedy brings her back home -- , lost love, real life situations, a couple of twists and Lexi matures before us.  I cant wait for the sequel that hopefully gets deeper into Lexi's thoughts and how she processes them.

Sometimes when tragedy strikes you find out who you can count on.  Kate's family deals with loss, but it is worse for Kate as she loses her twin.  Noah, her first love, is there and sparks from the past are ignited.  They both played a part in their prior breakup, but when they meet up now they still feel a connection.  The problem is that in order to have a future, they will need to work through their past to get there.  I thought this story was terrific and I felt that I knew the characters and could relate.  They are multi dimensional and all of the angst, family drama, and heat worked well together to weave a worthwhile read.

Getting a second chance of love is not something that we think that we would ever get. After what happened between Vale and Hawke, neither one of them thought that they would get a second chance either, but fate has a way with messing with us in the worst possible way.

Fate finds Hawke and Vale together again both with the Cold Fury, which is quickly become the match maker team. It works its magic again as the couple, which had a major falling out come together and have to work through what happened to them years before to try and find some common ground. Being the alpha male that Hawke is, hes not someone that can just let go of the past without making Vale suffer just a little bit. But as he learns what happened that night and since, he starts to let go of that anger and opens up to the possibility of a future.

Vale is like a lot of us when we find love, we don't think that we are worthy of it so we do everything that we can to push it away. It takes a strong person to try and make them see that we are worthy of love if you just open up your heart to it. I like the alpha male that is Hawke and at times he is frustrating because he lets his ego/pride make his decisions for him (as most of alpha men are like). I like that moment when he finally lets her in and way that they explode.

Unlike the other books in the series, this one doesnt involve many of the other characters in the series and it feels in many ways like a stand-alone. There are times when he mentions them but for the most part it doesnt feel like its part of a series. I like that in a sense but not completely. I like when a series actually reads like a series where I may not understand certain mentions or notes without having read the other books.

The book does drag a bit after the reunion as it feels like she stopped so that she could start setting up the climax and that was anticlimactic in the end. I would have liked a bigger ending especially considering how the last book ended. Hopefully we get that in the new book.

A quick read. It reintroduces hope in the midst of loss and living after losing a part of you. Surprising character twist. I only wish their was a series devoted to these characters specifically.
