An honest review thanks to NetGalley. This was a great trio of novellas. I liked two better than the other. Second chance romances are probably my favorite and this book did a wonderful job showcasing these second chances!

I’m usually not a fan of anthologies because let’s be real. The characters are usually in love by page 5, having sex b6 page 8, and married and HEA by page 20. The end. So I haven’t read one in 8 years. Bu5 I love these three authors so I was definitely willing to make an exception. And I wasn't disappointed. Jenny Frames was my favorite because her book actually read like a book and not a short story. It was well written and hot as always. Carsten Taite’s book was ok but it ended really fast. I did like that she stepped out of her normal courtroom to use as a background and Ali Vali’s book was ok as well. I gotta be honest here. I feel I like she uses the same formula in all of her books just changes faces, names and places. Overall, this is a book that I would recommend because the stories were more in depth than what you typically find in an anthology.

I was looking forward to this book, because it was written by 3 authors I really enjoy. It didn't disappoint! I won't go into a summary of each, since they do that well enough, so I'll just give my opinion about each one individually.

The first book by Jenny Frame was longer than I thought it would be, and felt complete once it ended. It was sweet and felt realistic when it comes to the notion of divorce and still not being over your ex. It was clear that they were both still very in love with each other, but sometimes that isn't enough. It was a good first book to start off the series.

The second book by Carsen Taite was the shortest one. This was the only one that felt like it was too short, since the end rushed a bit. I would have liked more of a conclusion, but it was still a fun read. I thought by the description that it could end up being a cheating story, which I avoid, but it wasn't. I don't want to give away why that is, since you find out pretty early. It's unique!

The third book by Ali Vali was worth the whole book. I loved it, and wished it was longer and also a series. Not because it felt short, but because I really liked the two main characters, and hope they pop up again. It takes awhile for them to work out their history, and I loved the chemistry that built while it was happening. It also really leaned on the notion that you can grow up and change for the better, so a second chance could really work out.

Overall, it was a great variety book. Would recommend.

These three novellas are about the second chance at love with the one you never gotten over.

Brayden and Faith have been divorce for four years after a tragedy happens. Faith went into a deep depression that she pushes Brayden away and Brayden who’s feels guilty for not being there turn to gambling that cost them almost everything. Brayden vow to make it right but when their friends throw a birthday cruise this is first time in four years they see each other and they both realize they are still much in love with each other but can they work on their issues to make it last a lifetime.

Katie is a runaway bride she left her fiancé Emma. Years later she getting married again to Ann but not everything is what it seems and there is a reason why she left Emma but this time she wonders can she be with the one who never left her heart when she runs into Emma again.

Preston aka Max always wonder why her college sweetheart disappears without saying goodbye. She gets a chance to have her answers when Hayley shows up to pitch for advertising campaign for her family business. Hayley is thrown when she sees Max but she wonders maybe the universe is giving her chance makes things right with the one she never really gotten over.

All three stories were great read.

Brayden and Faith loss should have push them together but this times they have a chance to be together and do it right.

Katie choose family and loyalty but this time she choosing herself.

Preston and Hayley both have family obligations but they realize they can have both.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.
