It has been a long ten years without him in her life, but she has never stopped loving him, and seeing him in the face of their child reminds her that she made a huge mistake all those years ago... one that she has paid dearly for too. So, when she hears that he has returned home to bury his father she makes a plan to capture a little of his time and clue him in on the secret she has kept from him all these years, one that she hopes will reunite them... question is will Jack be able to forgive her for keeping it?

Second Chance Cowboy is a touching story about forgiveness, hope, and happy reunions, but not without a little drama thrown in here and there too! From the first page of this one I was pulled into the world of Everett family, quickly finding myself feeling right at home, and also quickly falling quite smitten for a certain brooding cowboy. This was a very impressive introduction to not only a new series but also a new author, Ms. Pine's beautifully crafted tale left me dazzled and anxious for more, I just can't wait to see what she has in store for this family next!! The story line was engaging, rich with heartfelt emotion, and had just the right amount of toe curling romance sprinkled in to trigger the swoons too! I highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it's a second chance romance story that is sure to have you feeling the words and leave your heart overflowing!!
