The time is now.
I’d almost forgotten what it felt like to smile, to laugh, and to really live. Until I met him.
Heart-stoppingly handsome.
Totally forbidden.
Keats Matthews looked at me like I was something special.
He was escaping his past. I wanted to escape my present. Together, we fell hard and fast and knew we had found forever. Or so we thought …
Six years later, his shoulders are broader than I remembered, his charming smile thaws my frozen heart, and it’s so tempting to run my fingers through his hair like I did years ago. But it’s the tenderness and warmth in his brown eyes that remind me of the forever we almost shared.
It’s magic when we’re together again. Our chemistry has only magnified. Seeing him, confident and more irresistible than ever, has me falling for him all over again and hoping for a second chance.
But he still believes our timing was off before. He’s wrong. It was the secret I kept hidden that was our undoing. Time hasn’t healed old wounds, and not everything hidden has come to light. When it does, we’ll stand together or fall apart. Either way, we must find out.
Keats and Sophie were one of those couples you just cheer for from the beginning. I liked both of them, and there was something about them that made me want them to get their HEA. The title is a second chance, with a little bit of a twist as we, as readers, were part of their initial meeting and then around for their missed connections and their second chance, which is unusual, and I liked it.
There were a few times where I wasn't the happiest with Sophie, but she was young when the choices that bothered me the most happened, so it was hard to totally hold them against her. As she matured, I did like the choices she made more and I forgot to hold the ones at the beginning of the story against her.
Their chemistry really worked and the romantic scenes added to the story and also to their connection. Spicy scenes in books are rarely a bad thing, and when done well (as this one was) they improve the story and give it momentum.
