Wow, this was such a great read and I am a sucker for second chance romances and this one was awesome. This book touched my heart and made me root for the two of them to become a couple. A romance does not get much better than this one was and it is definitely five star worthy. Great job Lacy Hart and can't wait to read your next book. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.

What a wonderful read, this is a standalone but I so hope that the author writes about the other characters in this book.  Hannah, Billy and Wes all need their own stories and wouldn't mind Leighton's story either.  You will not want to put this book down, such a great second chance romance.  Lottie left her small town in Texas for Seattle and hasn't been back in the twelve years since she left.  She doesn't believe in marriage and love except to her job and she never stays with any guy long enough for them to develop feelings.  She watched her parents miserable marriage and her cheating father.  She won't make their same mistakes but when her Mom dies she is forced to go back home and make the funeral arrangements and handle the sell of the family farm.  The last person she ever wants to run into is Tucker her ex and childhood sweetheart.  She left the day after high school graduation and never looked back.
Tucker has been in love with Lottie since they were kids but when she ran off right after graduation without an explanation or goodbye she broke his heart.  He was in a dark, dark place after she left and now that she is back he wants answers.  Except that every time Tucker is near her he wants more.  Will Lottie give Tucker the answers he's looking for?  Will she give him a chance or will her fears make her run again.  Will Tucker be able to finally convince Lottie that they were meant to be together and won't end up like her parents?  Will he go after this time if she decides to run?  I received a free Arc copy and am volunteering to leave a review with my honest opinion.

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!

Dare to Take by Carly Phillips is a sweet, romantic, second chance love story that all the romantics out there are going to just adore.

This was my first Carly Phillips book and I have to say it won't be the last. I loved how easily the words flowed together and that I couldn't seem to put it down once I started. My heart went out to Ella through the whole book. The poor girl could not catch a break. I hated that, over the years, she had talked herself into believing she didn't deserve anyones love and that she was always alone.

Then comes Tyler Dare. I was absolutely smitten with him. He had so many issues he was dealing with, but regardless of all of them, he was dead set on protecting Ella and showing her that she was worth loving.

So if you enjoy a steamy romance filled with lots of surprising revelations, this is the story for you. I would recommend you read the whole series first, I do believe I would've enjoyed it ten times better if I had read all the other books in the series.

I give Dare to Take by Carly Phillips 3.5 out of 5 SECOND CHANCE Stars!

Home Free by Laramie Briscoe is beautifully written!
Drew and Charity have such different lifestyles, however, in this book they come together.
I loved that charity is an attorney. She is one smart talking, beautiful, brainiac.
This is a great second chance romance novel!
I definitely recommend this novel.
4/5 Stars!

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 so as soon as I heard about Kelly Elliott's Lost Love, a book revolving around one couple's second chance, I knew I had to have it!

The result? Lost Love is an emotional, heartwarming tale of second chances, and now that I've read the first three books in this series, I can say without any doubt that Lost Love is by far my favorite. There's something so incredibly special about this book, and I think a big part of that is because of Paxton and Steed.

Steed and Paxton were so incredibly lovable!

Even though Steed did some truly horrible things at the end of his senior year, I couldn't bring myself to hate him. Yes, he said the wrong thing and ran when times got tough. However, he was also scared as well as young so while I didn't like his choices I could understand his reasoning. When Steed first arrives in town he's set on making things right with Paxton. He's different then he was in high school. He's successful. He has a good head on his shoulders. Plus he's gained responsibility through being a single dad. Honestly, Steed is such an incredible father to Chloe. That little girl has him wrapped around her finger, and it was so incredibly fun to see her use that against him, especially when it came to her pet goat.

When senior year ended for Paxton, she was having the worst time of her life. She suffered not one but two incredible loses. While she's picked up the pieces since then, she's still not completely "fixed." My heart broke for Paxton as soon as I learned what happened to her in high school; however, I was incredibly proud of the woman she became. She's a wonderful teacher, a trustworthy friend, and also is a spitfire in some respects. Over the course of the book, Paxton struggles with letting Steed back in. Yes, he was/is the love of her life, but can she risk that potential heartbreak again? That's one thing she just can't answer. As the book progresses, Paxton learns to trust and open up again, and I loved seeing that development occur. Yes, Paxton was a kick-a$$ woman on her own, but Paxton with Steed was basically perfection.

Paxton and Steed's romance had so many levels. Sometimes it was sweet. Sometimes it was so incredibly heartbreaking as well as bittersweet. Sometimes it was smoking hot. I loved seeing their relationship progresses in Lost Love, and I think Kelly did a fantastic job of developing it. I also appreciated the time and effort Kelly put into developing the secondary characters in this. Steed's family is amazing, and I can't wait to see every sibling get their respective HEA as the series continues.

Overall, Lost Love is an essential read for any second chance romance lover! Take it from a long-time fan: this is second chance romance at its best.

This is the second in the Dare Valley series and although I did not read the first one I was able to follow along without any problems. This is a wonderful second chance romance with engaging characters that tug at your heart as they struggle with past hurts and the future they want.

Jill Hale has lived in Dare Valley all her life and she has created a thriving and successful coffee shop, Don't Soy with Me that she loves. Recently she has focused her attention on Brian, a man who came back last summer after a successful career in New York as a chef. He has never told anyone why he came back; just says he needs to find himself again.

Jill and Brian were best friends in high school but she got angry when he did not tell her he was going to The Culinary Institute in New York, she felt betrayed because they use to tell each other everything. Eight years later, a funeral for one of their friends pulls them together and they share a tenuous reconciliation, she is waiting for him to make a move as she is ready for the next step, at least she thinks she is, until she finds out some interesting truths.

As they dance around each other, and decide what and where to go with the relationship, many things get in their way: a business collaboration that they fight over, the fact that Brian has not told anyone why he came back to Dare Valley and then his ex-lover shows up to renew their relationship and bring him back to New York to work with her. These things drive Jill toward collaborating with Mac, a mysterious man who wants to bring a resort to the area that many do not want.

French Roast is a moving book about second chances. Jill has been in love with Brian for years and was heartbroken when he left, now she is ready for their relationship to move to the next phase but he is not sure and that is the problem I found with this book, as much as I like the characters and the story, the indecisiveness of Jill and Brian kind of drove me crazy. Most of the problems come when Simca, the ex shows up and she dangles Brian's dreams in front of him, yet he does not want to screw up again with Jill. So Jill gets angry and bounces around an offer that has been given to her, helping with a new resort in the area. They truly want each other but in the beginning they are not sure they want to give up dreams they have been striving for.

One thing I was intrigued about are the secondary characters and a bit about their lives. We meet Peggy who is the new sheriff and although she is hardheaded, I see a softer side that she shares at times; she is trying to raise her son in a good town. I also know that she will be the focus of the next book and I am intrigued by her and Mac's story. Pete, on the other hand is another friend who shows up in several scenes, I do not know much about him, but here he is an ass and it may take a good story to get him back into my graces. Meredith and Tanner, from the first book are also prominently portrayed here; they are very concerned with Jill's well being and want only the best for her, even if they are concerned about Brian. This is, after all a small town where everyone knows your business.

Jill and Brian are good for each other and once they get over the anger and jealousy, they make a great couple with the chemistry to go along with it. I like that they keep trying as they know they are meant to be together, they definitely are determined and I was pulling for them! All in all a good book with a lot of angst as they strive for that second chance at love.

I absolutely adored this quick and sweet second chances story! This is the first in the Crazed Devotion series and centers around Ryker and Nicole, a young couple, very much in love, when Ryker enlists in the Marines. Nicoles only family in their small town was her father and she was very determined to remain there.

I love you, Nicole. Ill always love you. he assured me as he made love to me under the stars by Mitchell Lake.

Those were the words she hung onto when Ryker was thousands of miles away serving his country and even 5 years later, Nicole had never forgotten them. He broke her heart after the first year of his being away by letting her go, not wanting to hold her back from her dreams. When Ryker returns to town, he discovers things are not the same. Nicoles broken heart resulted in a drunken, one night stand with another man, Tyler. Although it was just one night, it resulted in her beautiful baby girl, Tori. Tyler did not step up and be a father for his daughter, so Nicole is raising her along with the help of her dad and friend, Liz. Ryker thought he had done the right thing by letting Nicole go, but he never stopped loving her. What ensues is the sweet and romantic story of two people who loved each other, letting go, and finding that love again. Little Tori will steal your heart, just as she stole Rykers heart as he pursues Nicole to win her back. There is some angsty moments, sexy, steamy scenes, and even though Nicole makes Ryker work at winning her heart again and Tyler tries to keep them apart, the ending will make your heart melt! If this is the first book of this series, I cant wait for book 2 to see if Rykers friend, Ben, can tame the wild and feisty Liz!

I am so happy with this series. It has been nothing but great. If this is your first read, they are all complete stand alones, so you can read this and not feel completely out of the loop. This one is a second chance romance story.

Tyree, the owner of The Fix is reunited with his first love. I loved watching him come to terms with falling back in love with a long lost love while rreconciling that with the immense and intense love he still has for his long deceased wife.

Eva never stopped loving Tyree so discovering him again has been frightening and wonderful, but one thing Eva has learned over the last 20 years is her own self worth. She is not accepting anything but Tyree's entire heart. He simply has to come to terms with knowing that there is enough love inside of him for his deceased wife and Eva.

"He breaks me apart. He puts me together. He's my poison and my antidote."

I really enjoyed this book a lot. Second chance romances are my favorites and this book didn't disappoint! Presley goes through some very difficult times and ends up back home. She hadn't been back for a long time and she had a reason why she avoided the town she grew up in. There she is reunited with her first love, Zach. It's obvious from there first meeting that there is a lot that needs to be talked about.

"I've been in love with you my whole life. I know you better than you know yourself. Don't you get it, baby? We're made for each other."

Presley made some wrong decisions when she was young but she was a young girl hurting so I can't totally blame for some of the things she did. The same goes for Zach. However they both love each other so much but can they get over what is been said and done?

I loved all the characters in this book and especially Wyatt! I am so excited that the next book in the series is featuring him and another one of my favorite characters. He was such a great friend to Presley and a great brother to Zach. He gave some great advice to both Zach and Presley. Presley's twin sons Logan and Cayden were awesome as well. I just love books with young kids in them. They were definitely an added bonus to the story. Overall this was a great contemporary romance with a couple of emotional moments.

I love a good second chance love story and this one is spectacular. I love all the Laundry boys but I have to say Ford is now my favorite. He is the perfect mix of hot alpha and romantic sweetness. He never stopped loving Ellie and didn't give her a chance to forget she always loved him too. Loved this book so much!!

Loved their story and being able to catch up with the other Landry boys and their spouses/loves. You really get invested in books like these! Swear was one hot and sexy read!! I really felt like their love story was so real and it was just beautiful! I love reading all the banter between all the Landry's!! Plus seeing how protective they are over the ones they love! I am so excited to see what is next!!

Locke has an amazing talent! She just brings so much life to the characters. You end up feeling like you are right there in the stories with them!  Adriana has written a beautiful second-chance love story. The Landry men have all been hot, sexy, alpha and charming. I just love their story! It's a beautiful blend of what's uniquely theirs blended with the chaos and fun of the Landry clan. It can be read as a standalone but really I would recommend that you just invest yourself! The whole series is wonderful so just go for it and read them all!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I will leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

An absolutely, amazing love story about a second chance romance!

Piper is attracted to Tanner. Tanner is attracted to Piper. The only person not on the same page is Piper's overprotective twin brother and Tanner's best friend, Brad. But there's only so long that their attraction will go untouched before something will happen, whether Brad likes it or not. But is it strong enough to last? Or will it ruin all three of their relationships if it goes south?

The chemistry between Piper and Tanner is undeniable. As cheesy as it sounds, it's the stuff every girl wants in her life. I fell hard for Tanner immediately, he is the perfect book boyfriend until a misunderstanding occurs between him and Piper, destroying their relationship. Then two years later, they come face to face again for the first time since their break up.

The author did an extraordinary job of capturing the emotions of the characters and putting them into words for the readers.  To me, their emotions, reactions and words were very realistic. Piper is a girl you'll want to hang out with, and Tanner is the type every girl will swoon over.

I couldn't put this book down once I started. It's a book you want to power through so you can find out how it turns out, but at the same time want to read slowly so it doesn't come to an end.

This was my first read my Michelle Lynn, however based on how much I loved it, I will definitely be looking into more of her work.  I very highly recommend this to anyone who loves second-chance romances, or even just romance novels in general!

I just love a second chance romance. Nolan and Pepper are once again in the same town, different people then they used to be. Tragedy broke them apart, but now Pepper is in need of some help and Nolan wants to be the guy to do it. At what cost though? It's going dredge up past hurts and pain for both Nolan and Pepper, but maybe a new future as well. I liked both Nolan and Pepper. You can feel the history these two share and the emotions that it pulls from the characters. It's a journey of closure and healing. It also sets up for the next book and I can't wait for it!
