This was an okay read, perfect as a light holiday read for busy people. There wasn't anything particularly special about it though.

Fantastic story you can not put down! This author knows how to craft characters that leave you wanting more and more

I really loved this book! It was well-paced and I was disappointed that the story ended when I read the last page. I have to admit that I wanted to read this ARC because I really love Renee Rose books and her name was associated with this, but I am delighted to find a new author to hunt for. It seems this may be the first romance book Ms. Roemer has written (per Goodreads) and I feel that if anyone can help guide a new romance author Renee Rose is perfect! I can't wait to read the next in this series collaborated by these two authors!

Loved the hot read. Lotsoc chemistry. Brandy is a divorced single parent and business owner; she doesn't have time to date. Rick is a former pro football player turn high school coach who is very interested in dating Brandy. Loved how their casual relationship turned in a serious one with them both reassessing they former stance on serious relationships. Recommended read.

Fun sexy and hot. Couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Loved reading book one in the second chance romance series by the talented authors Theresa Roemer and Renee Rose. I voluntarily reviewed a copy from the publisher Riverdale Avenue through NetGalley.
When the high school coach, Rick, brings one of his players to a gym and meets Brandy, attraction and sparks ignite between Rick and Brandy. Read the highly recommended love story of Rick and Brandy.

Brandy Love is a single mother raising two children and is the owner of a successful gym. She notices one of the sexiest bachelors in her establishment, and though she thinks he is very attractive she does not want to think about trying to go out with him. Just the thought is okay with her for now. Rick Morehouse a high school coach and ex pro quarterback met Brandy once when she asked for him to play Santa for the charity she was hosting in a few months, but now seeing her in her workout cloths and after yoga he is wanting to be with her. When a few weeks go by Brandy is locking up for the night and she hears water in the men’s locker room, she goes in to turn it off because she pays the bills. Thinking that everyone is gone only to find Rick standing there under the water and her eyes not being able to meet his. After her needs are met and he tells her she owes him they leave and the next Saturday she reciprocates. This starts just an every Saturday night hook up. That is until he finds out that she has children and that freaks him out. Getting past that his feelings of wanting to be with is new for him but he goes about it the wrong way. She does cut him some slack and just when it looks like it is going to work out another issue comes up with the press and he does not handle that very good, even though she is working to help. See if he will still be Santa or just get coal from Brandy. A good book.

Rick Moorehouse is a former quarterback for the Houston Texans and is now coaching a high school football team. After his football career was over, Rick had many job offers but he chose coaching at the high school level because loves working with the young boys and making a difference in their lives. Rick is rich, good looking and one of Houston's most eligible bachelors. With all his success he is still a nice, down to earth guy with a heart of gold.

Brandy is a single mom and owns a popular and successful gym. Rick and Brandy meet when Rick starts working out at Brandy’s gym. Brandy declines Rick’s offer when he asks her out, even though she is attracted to him. Brandy is divorced and the mother of two and is too busy raising her kids and running her gym to have any time to date. She is happy with her life and proud of all she has accomplished.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, light, sexy read about two people who start a no strings relationship and find they want more. The characters are entertaining and the story put me in the holiday spirit. Rick is the perfect guy. He is a big, alpha male and yet he also has a sweet and vulnerable side. Brandy’s perfectly toned body turns Rick on from the moment he first sees her. They can't keep their hands off of each other, have a lot of fun together and are surprised when they find themselves falling in love.

Nice book to curl up with on a snowy day. I always love a rugged man with a big heart that loves kids. I like stories where a woman with kids can find love again.

This was a great sexy read, no loose ends and the story was will developed.
