I love how patient Luke is with Lily in this second chance romance.  You root for the two of them throughout the book and hope for the best outcome for them.  It's a love renewed story that takes a look at what can make or break a relationship.  Love these two and I'm excited to see them pop up in another story to see what happens with their future.

I just love a good second chance romance and Liam and Angie's book was really good. This is the second book in the series but can easily be read as a standalone. When Angie's work visa expired and she had to go back home she was devasted to leave Liam behind but he seems to care more about his job so she has no more contact with him. Over a year later he is now working his families farm when he finds a puppy he takes it to the vets and is shocked to find Angie is the vet. Will he be able to win her back?
While I did enjoy this book it felt a little onesided at times you can just feel how Angie feels about Liam but I did not feel the same attraction from him to her. It is a sweet romance though and I did like it.

Tara and Mason have a second chance at love and what an amazing story. I am so glad they both were able to grow up, apart, just to come back together. I am in love with Canyon Cove.

And Then He Kissed Me by Kim Amos is a delightful second chance at love romance. This latest addition to the White Pine series is a great story about forgiveness, love and friendship, but it is the growth of the lead character that makes it such a wonderful read.

Audrey Tanner is an ex-high school gym teacher who is desperate for a job when she is hired to work as a showroom model at the local Harley dealership. She is not exactly thrilled with her new uniform and her day goes from bad to worse when she learns her new boss is Kiernan Callaghan, the man who broke her heart five years earlier. Undaunted by his sudden reappearance in her life, she angrily stands up to him when Kiernan suggests she find other employment. Surprisingly, her new job gives her the confidence she needs to stop being such a pushover and make some much needed changes to her life.

Audrey is a good girl who always does what is expected of her. The only time she acted on a whim ended in heartbreak and in the years since Kieran left her, she reverted back to playing it safe. She is close to her sister Casey but Audrey is becoming increasingly frustrated with her sisters attempts to micromanage her life. Audrey is surprised by how much she likes her new look and she carries a toned down version of her makeover into her personal life. She also seizes this opportunity to transform other aspects of her life and she explores new career opportunities.

Kiernan is reformed bad boy who is keeping a HUGE secret from Audrey. He has cleaned up his act in the time they have been apart and he is now a well respected businessman. He really has no choice but to return to White Pine but he hopes to avoid Audrey while he is in town. When that plan goes up in flames pretty much as soon as he steps foot in town, his only alternative is to keep quiet about why he left town so abruptly five years ago. But with their attraction burning hotter than ever, Kiernan knows it is only a matter of time before they give in to their mutual desire.

Since Audrey is trying to protect herself from further heartbreak, she is willing to indulge in a casual fling with Kiernan. They enjoy a couple of sizzling hot interludes but he is upfront that he is looking for a real relationship. He knows that he will have to be honest about why he left town but Kiernan must first convince her to give him a second chance. And if she does agree, will Audrey be able to forgive him once he reveals the real reason he left town five years ago?

And Then He Kissed Me by Kim Amos is a terrific addition to the White Pine series. Audrey and Kiernan are brilliantly developed and sympathetic protagonists with realistic flaws and imperfections. Although they spend a good deal of the novel apart as they deal with their respective issues, there is no denying the chemistry between them. Their feelings for one another are believable and they work through their problems with very little drama. The supporting cast of characters is likable and the small town atmosphere adds to the storys appeal. A sweet, sensual romance that old and new fans are sure to love!

I received a complimentary copy for review.

I liked the secondary character's as well. I am looking forward to Raven's story.

This is the first book I have read by author S.A. McAuley and although I did enjoy it I felt it was a little slow moving for my liking. I did enjoy the story line and the characters were great. This is a story of second chances. I found it to be humorous and heartwarming, and the secondary characters just added to it.

Nick and Adam have not seen one another in just over 15 years. Neither one realizes that they have been living in the same town for the past three years. They are both raising daughters and trying to move forward with their lives, when their paths cross. But will they be able to be civil with one another after all this time has passed?

He still carries a lot of anger and hurt over how they left things all those years ago. Now his life revolves around raising his daughter and his art. He is an up and coming artist and has the world at his fingertips. But does he have a place in his heart and life to let Nick back in? Can he find it in himself to trust him again?

Nick never got over Adam, the one he let get away. After high school he was off to college and he cut ties with Adam. He never meant to leave things the way he did, but life has a funny way of throwing things our way. Now he is the VP for the local operating system of hospitals and lives a good life.

This is a cute, contemporary m/m read about second chances and learning to love yourself and to forgive those that mean the most to you.

This was a really good book. This book is a second chance romance but also realizing that there is more to life than baseball. Seven years, Jack McCauley was playing for the minor league team in Twin Rivers, Washington. He met Beth Darrow and they dated during that summer but he told her from the start that baseball always came first and when he was called up for the major leagues and left her behind without a second thought. Beth found out she was pregnant when he was called up and she didn't tell him about the baby. He made it clear that baseball was the only thing important to him and that he didn't want to get married. Jack tore his ACL and had to have surgeries and rehab and now is back in Twin Rivers to heal and work with the minor league team and hope to get called back to the majors. He finds out that he has a daughter that he never knew about.

Beth hasn't had the easiest life but she loves her daughter and has done everything she can to protect her. She fell in love with Jack when she was 19 years old and then found out she was pregnant. Her best friend, David, offered to marry her to make things easier for them. David ended up dying but 6 months before his death, he left Beth and Lindsay for another woman. Beth and her two sisters, have a consignment and second-hand store called Do-Overs that their parents left them when they retired to Arizona. The store hasn't brought in a lot of money so each sister has a second job to live on. Beth works at a call center and the hours are all different week to week. When she finds out Jack is back in town, she fears for Lindsey and him finding out the truth. She doesn't want Lindsey's life to be harder and more confused. She thinks David was her father and when he left it hurt her but then he died and it hurt her more.

Jack was raised by a great ball player and his mother. His father told him from the beginning that baseball is all that matters and to not let other things get in the way. His father wasn't much of a dad and his mother is still married to him but she's terribly lonely and sad a lot. With him back in Twin Rivers, he finds out that he has a daughter. He's hurt to find that out but he kind of understands that. He remembers Beth and has fond memories of her. He finds her more attractive now and he fights his feelings for her. He's trying to be a dad but he's scared of making big mistakes and his father was a pretty bad one growing up. He loves Lindsey but he keeps making mistakes and beating himself up over it.

Worth reading.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I really enjoyed it. Aria Ford has done it again! It's a second chance romance 10 years later over the Christmas holiday. Carson left Amelia 10 years ago. He is her brother's best friend. He has since joining the Army and has been discharged. He has PTSD. She is a successful accountant. Her brother has invited both of them to join his family for Christmas. Amelia still has feelings for Carson that she is trying to deny. Same for him. There are a lot of misunderstandings. Will they make it through them? You will have to read the book to find out. Let's just say you will be glad that you did!

Down to You is a nice second chance at first time love. I rated this 3.5 stars. If the love is real it is worth fighting for, family is with fighting for. I read it pretty quickly and enjoyed the sweetness of it. I'm not sure why Holly just decided to call it quits without even trying or listening to Brent but with everything that was happening at the time, I can understand getting frustrated. It's a quick Christmas second-chance read.

Christmas, a missed opportunity for a high school romance, and a second chance at love.

Faith has come home to accept a job as a nanny. After Reno, school and a shameful secret it is time to put it all behind her.

George was sent to the Garrison's to let the interviewee know why they weren't home.
After discovering it was Faith, George decides to take her out for a bite to get reacquainted.

Both Faith and George have things in their past that worry them that if brought to light the other may turnaround and run.

How do they move forward without leaving their past behind? Can Faith ever get away from her part of her mistake that is stalking her?

What has George done that is so shameful that it took his belief in all the possibilities to do any, be anything, that were with him prior to Faith leaving after high school?

Small town warmth, a rocky road to an HEA, but done so beautifully
5 Stars and a lingering warmth in my heart.

A heartfelt request opens the door for a second chance. I received a copy of Tempting Mr. Wrong in exchange for an honest review from NetGalley. I love stories where fate steps in to reunite lost loves. Lance wants the chance to experience life to the fullest now that he has his freedom. Years in the army, following rules has made him long for a less restrictive lifestyle. But a misplaced letter from a deceased friend changes his plans and sets him on a course that may give him the life he never knew he wanted and reunite him with the love he has always regretted losing. Add an adorable little girl, divine intervention, a little matchmaking and you have the makings of a heartwarming love story.

I loved this sweet second chance at love. Blake was the best and I was so happy with how he handled all the challenges with Caylee. This was a quick read, but very enjoyable.
