Welcome back to Lake in Clouds!

We get to catch up with Helen and Genevieve, and we learn that sometimes family secrets do come to light!

We also get a little of Angels Rest Easter eggs sprinkled in!

This begins with a bride by the name of Zoey showing up to book a wedding, she is a doppelgänger for Helen’s neice.

Such a wonderful story told as only this author could. I read it from beginning to end, I could not put it down… Have tissues!

Wonderful, emotional, romantic and very heartwarming. I have loved all of the Lake in the Clouds stories so the characters are familiar to me and yet I feel like I know them so much better with this book.
No spoilers here but I cried a few times reading it and I was really happy with the ending.
I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I always enjoy Emily Marchs’ books. This one did not disappoint. It was an interesting storyline with a few twists. That is what holds my interest. I look forward to the next book in the series.

We are back in Lake in the Clouds, Colorado with Helen and Genevieve. A new bride named Zoey has come to the inn for a tour for her wedding in August. She looks a lot like Willow, the resemblance is uncanny. When Zoey's mom is on her death bed. Zoey has questions she decides to do a DNA test and she finds out she is somehow related to Willow. This opens some buried secrets.

I really loved this book. I love when the writing is so good. You are hooked and become part of the story. I laughed with the family and shed many tears with the family. I really enjoyed this series.

Life for Zoey Hillcrest was idealic as she is planning her wedding and her dream of becoming a doctor is finally happening. She and her fiancé travel to Colorado to check out a wedding venue that is owned by two sisters and their family. She is stunned to notice the resemblance between her and the wedding planner. Suddenly she faces professional burnout and she discovers that her estranged mother has terminal cancer. After her mother dies she discovers the birth family of her father. She returns to Colorado to figure out what her future holds!

Emily March is an automatic read for me. Second Chance Season is a book that gives you all of the feels. This is part of series and I recommend reading the whole series. Primary and secondary characters pull you in .

Oh this book was just just absolutely fantastic! I loved the sweet story of the main characters and the journey they were on together, Highly recommend.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for my review copy.

This was a wonderful women's fiction with a great plot and memorable characters. A very enjoyable read.

Returning to the Lake in the Clouds setting for Second Chance Season by Emily March felt like revisiting an old friend. March’s description of this small Rocky Mountain town is so majestic and tranquil that it almost feels like a character in its own right. Who wouldn’t want to spend time there? This book is the third in the series, and while it can certainly be enjoyed as a standalone, having read the previous books adds an extra layer of depth to the story.

In Second Chance Season, we’re introduced to Zoey Hillcrest, a young bride-to-be who is still completing the last few months of her medical education. Newly engaged, she dreams of getting married at the Inn at Mirror Lake, but what she uncovers there is more than just a wedding venue—it’s the key to her lifelong quest of discovering who she truly is. What she finds will not only change her life but also deeply affect those around her, including the series’ main characters.

I particularly loved how the story alternates between Zoey, Genevieve Prentice, and Helen McDaniel. Through these intertwined storylines, we gain insight into Genevieve and Helen’s pasts, uncovering family secrets that deepen the already strong bond between these women. Without giving too much away, there’s a powerful message of hope and forgiveness woven throughout the narrative that leaves a lasting impression.

Final Thoughts:

This is, without a doubt, my favorite book in the series. While I can’t help but hope for a fourth instalment, Second Chance Season feels like the perfect conclusion to a beautiful series.

4.5 stars (rounded up to 5)

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

A sweet romance that grabs you from the start. I loved the sisters Genevieve and Helen and their heartwarming stories. Family secrets and lots of love. A great addition to the Lake in the Clouds series.

Second Chance Season has all the heartwarming feels of a classic Emily March book. Family is at the forefront with all the love, anguish, secrets, trust, tears, and forgiveness experienced by all. Lake in the Clouds is a magical place where people can “reset” their lives, when necessary. And just maybe, find the family they never knew was missing. I loved this story and recommend all three books in the series.

Oh how I adored this novel! The characters and setting were richly written and captivating. The storyline was perfect, from the family secrets to how things unravel in an unexpected way. I think this is my first book by this author, but will definitely be looking for more of her work.

Another great book from Emily March. The storylines were well developed and kept the book moving. There were a few twists and turns surrounding past histories of a couple of characters and they were all melded together in a believable, warm way. There were a few times I had to let things go as they didn't quite fit into the current scene but this in no way detracted from this sweet, heartfelt book. I laughted and shed a tear or two and can't wait for the Author's next book. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to provide an honest review in exchange for an ARC. Many thanks to the Author, publisher, and Net Galley.

I really enjoyed this emotionally charged family story. Long ago secrets come to the surface bringing pain and joy all at the same time. Helen and Genevieve are very close sisters who share everything or so Genevieve believes. When a painful story from the past comes to light it brings big feelings all around. This book will touch your heart and make you grateful for the family that you love. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

This book grabbed my attention from the first chapter and didn't let go until "The End" - something I was sorry to see. I have really enjoyed this three book series and I'm sorry there will not be more books in it as I enjoy reading about Lake In The Clouds and the families of Helen and Genevieve.
I would suggest this series be read in order for maximum enjoyment.
Brave Emily March. This is you at your best.
Five stars from me with thanks to #NetGalley for an opportunity to early read this book in return for a fair and honest review.

Wow! What an emotional roller coaster, all in a good way! I love these characters and am delighted in how the family continues to grow. There are secrets, heartaches, wonderful surprises, and a miracle or two. This is a magical and touching visit to Lake in the Clouds!
