Second Chance Season by Emily March, book three in her Lake in the Clouds series, was a heartwarming emotional roller coaster, filled with secrets, heartaches, wonderful surprises, and a miracle or two. Zoey Hillcrest is 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 really is. What she finds will not only change her life but also deeply affect those around her, including the series’ main characters.

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 away giving too much, there’s a powerful message of hope and forgiveness woven throughout the narrative that leaves a lasting impression.

Ms. March wrote another amazing story with interesting characters that creates the feeling that we are revisiting old friends. Her description of this small Rocky Mountain town is so visual that it feels as if the reader is there with the characters. Although this is a standalone story, reading the previous books will add an extra layer of depth to the story. I highly recommend Second Chance Season to other readers and hope there is another book in this series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

This story had my heart. It brings out so many emotions. Loved all the characters stories. Once you start the book it’s hard to put down!

Zoey Hillcrest and her fiancé, Cooper, are planning their wedding, and go to Lake in the Clouds, Colorado.to look at a wedding venue. Little did they know, that when they arrive, that Zoey, and the family that owns the wedding venue, their lives could change forever.
Sometimes life brings people together for a reason, and in the story we see this seems to be happening. Life is unfolding for them, and as they move forward in their journey, things are revealed they weren't expected, but they follow it through.
Emily March will take you on a journey, that kept me reading, made me think, and I felt like I connected with them, and didn't want the story to end. The story did indeed end, but I will be thinking about them all for a very long time.
I received an ARC from Forever through NetGalley.

I love this series and this family! I was heartbroken when we learn about Helen's secret. It pulled out all of the emotions. I was pulled into the story from page one and hated when it was done. The relationship between Genevieve and Helen is so wonderful. Everyone should be so lucky to have such a friendship like the one they have! I don't want to reveal anything, but this book was done so perfectly. I laughed, cried and felt everything in between. I'm already looking forward to the next visit to Lake in the Clouds! I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Second Chance Season is the third book in the series Lake in the Clouds by Emily March. It was an excellent book, and I am now going to read the first two in this series.
The story was so perfectly written that the characters come to life for me as I was reading.
I like books about sisters that are older. This has ever imaginable life event that sisters can go through in their lives.
I now have a new author that I will be looking for books from.
Thank you NetGalley, Emily March and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for the copy of Second Chance Season. This is my personal review.

Love, love, love this story. It has all the emotions and great characters. It is all about family, love and second chances. When Zoey and Cooper come to Colorado to check out a place for their wedding, what they found was someone who could be Zoey's twin. How could that be? As she deals with finishing medical school and her mother dying, she puts a strain on her relationship with Cooper. She is burned out at work and doesn't know if she wants to continue being a doctor and is even thinking of opening a flower shop. Where did that come from? The she gets some news that send her back to Colorado in search of family. Will Zoey and Cooper have their wedding? Genevieve's relationship with Gage is heating up and it scares her. Can she love someone again? Helen gets some really shocking news that changes her life. Will there be a HEA?

Second Chance Season by Emily March brings us back to beautiful Lake in the Clouds, Colorado - a favorite character in its own right. Returning to Colorado's beautiful mountains is back on my bucket list! Prospective bride Zoey visits the resort and finds so much more than the perfect wedding venue. I love the romances, for both young and old, and I loved the discovered family part of the story even more. This is a fantastic series and I plan to read much more of Emily March’s books in the future! Highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced reader copy of this wonderful book!

I know when I choose an Emily March book it's going to be a delight :this book did not disappoint. As a bride and her fiance visit their venue the resemblance to their events coordinator is unsettling. It's decided we all have a doppelganger out there in the world. But as the story unfolds an unfathomable secret is revealed which shakes 3 families to the core. In true March fashion, the characters reveal a depth of understanding of the situation. You'll cheer on everyone involved praying for a peaceful resolution doubts are reveled and relationships are put on hold. I'm hoping this isn't the final book in the series but even so, I know the next series will be as delightful to read.

Although I received a free ARC ebook from Netgalley and the publisher all thoughts and opinion expressed in this review are my own.

Family secrets, second chances and coming together. This book has all that and more set in an idealic setting. I could not get enough and I am still wanting more. Great read!

Second Chance Season
Emily March
November 05, 2024

Sisters Genevieve and Helen are enjoying their summer season in Lake in the Clouds. Helen has been elected mayor and is acting on several of the programs she wanted to see happening throughout the area. Genevieve is managing the lodge while Willow is heading the wedding program. The calendar is getting booked and clients are trying to get their special day plugged in. Couples visit, discuss their needs and then are given a tour of the complex.
Second Chance Season will be published by Hachette Book Group on November 05, 2024. I was able to read and review the 3rd of the Lake in the Clouds series via NetGalley. Emily March has given readers another fabulous story of the Colorado storyline. Second Chance Season is delightful and heartwarming. I encourage her fans not to miss this one. Never read her books? Read: The Getaway, Balancing Act and now, Second Chance Season for a wonderful series that are truly page turners. Do Enjoy!

Zoey Hillcrest and her fiancé have come to Lake in the Clouds to plan their wedding. She looks just like Genevieve Prentice's daughter Willow the wedding planner. They decide to wedding during the summer at the lodge that Genevieve and her sister Helen own. Zoey is finishing her residence as a doctor and her fiancé Chance is also a doctor and it's been really stressful for her lately. Zoey's mother shows up in town and is dying from cancer and she was an absentee mother when Zoey was growing up.
Zoey returns to the lake when her mother dies and her life with Chance is falling apart.

4.5 stars rounded up.

I really enjoyed this one. It was great to read Helen’s story and be introduced to new characters. I do wish there was a little more wrap up around Zoey and Cooper’s side of the story. But overall, a really great read! The pace moved quickly and I was able to read this in a short time, just like the last book in the series. Can’t wait to see who is next!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

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.
