Truth? I chose to review Last Chance Hero, a new novel by Cathleen Armstrong, because the plot summary described a young woman trying to fit into a football-loving town when she "doesn't know a first down from a goalpost." I figured she and I had a lot in common, and I might like her story. After having read the book, I have decided I want to move to Last Chance, New Mexico, and be friends with every single character in the book. {Well. Maybe minus a couple of the busybody ladies. I might keep them at a slight distance.}

First, let me tell you a bit about the storyline, and I promise not to spoil a thing for you. Last Chance, New Mexico, is the kind of small town you would think of when you think of small towns. Most people who live there have always lived there, everyone knows everyone, and they're not big on change. Fitting in as the newbie is...a challenge, at best. But Dr. Jessica McLeod is excited to attempt to put down roots in the charming place when she opens a private medical practice there. She arrives in town just about the same time the hometown football hero, Andy Ryan, returns to coach the high school team. He'd played for the Denver Broncos, and the entire town expects his very presence to transform their struggling team into the Glory Days team he played for back in the day - back when they had an 84 game winning streak and were really something.

Jessica has no interest in football, and no one in town can figure out why anyone wouldn't like football. And while they're all glad to have a local doctor on hand, none of them are interested in giving up their trusted doctors in the city a few miles away. Jessica may not be interested in football, but she is interested in Coach Ryan. An interesting predicament: to have a crush on a man whose very livelihood is of no interest whatsoever. And Coach Ryan's interesting predicaments totter back and forth between his own interest in the non-football-loving Jessica and his desperation to get the town to understand the Glory Days were in the past, and the team at hand deserves its own chance to make something of itself.

I learned partway through the book that this is actually the fourth book in the "Place to Call Home" series, but Cathleen did a great job of introducing me to he many residents of Last Chance, without making me feel like I was behind on their stories. And though I, like Jessica, know pitifully little about football, I wasn't lost in the details of the story.

I want to purchase the first three books in the series {which I've discovered will teach me even more of the back story of some of the other town residents} because I just fell in love with this little place and the people who live there. There's something to be said for the unique {and perhaps, at times, frustrating} beauty of small-town life, and I think Cathleen captured it splendidly. Can't wait to read the rest of the story. {And the fact that many pieces of the plot were not wrapped up with a neat bow leaves me with great hope that there will be another book to come for the story of Last Chance!}

{Revell sent me a copy of this book to review. All opinions are my own.}

Chance of a Lifetime by Christa Lynn is about second chance at finding love after having your heart hurt by the person that supposed to love you. Sometimes you find love when you least expect it to happen and during this new journey in finding love, youve got doubts about everything that includes love.
This is the story of Brooke and Chance but it way more than that; its about moving on from heartache and taking a chance on someone who deserves your love. I truly enjoyed the connection that Brooke and Chance had even though you could tell that Brooke had her doubts about having a younger man. I loved how Chance regardless of how Brooke pushed him away, that he wasn't giving up on her no matter what. I felt bad how Brooke found out about her ex-husband, but that he acted like it was okay and that she should just move on. The pain she went through, I felt what she was going through that it was hard to trust a man even Chance. I love the flow of this story, it kept me engaged from the first page till the end. In this story youll get the drama, some HOT sexy scene, but also a story about starting over in a different town and place.
The insecurities that Brooke went through were hard, but over time she realize it was for the best. You do get the mystery behind Brooke and Chance story that kept you wondering what was going to happen till the end. The secondary characters, I loved them and they added to the story. All I am going to say, I didn't like Gary at all.
If you're thinking about getting Chance of a Lifetime, don't wait just go one click it today. I promise youll love what Author Christa Lynn did in this book.

Tyler Paulson is the new QB for the Toronto Fighters and April Gray is tasked with being his PA. It's pretty much her last chance as she didn't do so well the last two times. April and Tyler actually have a history as they were at the same summer camp years ago. The first kiss was the night before summer camp ended, and Tyler was to write April, but never did.

April is to get Tyler set for a temporary car, hotel, and make sure he stays out of trouble and stays happy for the duration.

Although Tyler doesn't remember April, they are comfortable in each other's company.

This was a second chance romance and it certainly wasn't all smooth sailing, but the characters were well suited for each other, and for the long run.

Sometimes I get into a lengthy review, but not this time. I'll let you discover the trials they go through together. That one little word,
t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r, is what makes you love this story.

I'm going back for another read, I loved it that much!

I love second chance romance.  Jason is set to deploy and after burying another friend he chance wants to meet someone and make a connection. Kat a waitress in her uncle's diner is that person. After a night together he leaves with tge promise to write each other.  Flash forward 2 years things have changed for both,  Jason stopped writing and Kat is dealing with a lot of different issues.  They run into each other unexpectedly and things go from there.
This is a fast read that I did enjoy.  Jaso  is troubled bywhat he has seen and while he is happy to run into Kat he has so e explaining to do. Kat is tryingto hold it together and when she sees Jason she is so overwhelmed she is scared to leanon him.  The author does a good job with both characters but Kat was a little much.
Overall I enjoyed the story.

Heres another great read from the Escape to New Zealand series. You can read it and love it without reading the previous books in the series. This one is somewhat about second chances and getting to explore new opportunities.

Its a sweet and sassy story surrounding Marko and Nyree. Two people who met when they were younger, only he doesnt remember that. Which makes for some fun banter and inside information for the reader that makes he interactions even funnier. Add in a current pregnant teenager, kitten, and the usual Rugby teammates, and you have a recipe for new exciting adventures.

I would recommend you grab this book and see how it ends. You won't be disappointed.
