Rescuing the Bad Boy (Second Chance #2) by Jessica Lemmon

Rescuing the Bad Boy started out with a smokin' hot bang and then broke my heart. I was on a rollercoaster between girlish giggles and tearing up. What a ride! Jessica Lemmon's writing abilities made this one really soar for me.

When I pick up one of Jessica Lemmon's books, I know that I'm going to get a sweet, heartwarming romance with a kick of sexy. Her heroes are wounded, not necessarily looking for love, but their hearts are always open. And not to mention, they're also extremely easy on the eyes (and imagination). Jessica's heroines are always strong, independent women with a heart of gold. I fell in love with the first book in the Second Chance series, so my love for Rescuing the Bad Boy came as no surprise. Jessica's characters are written with such warmth that I couldn't help falling in love with Sofie and Donovan. My heart broke for Donovan. His past made him jaded towards the world. He's so hell bent on being alone, he wasn't prepared for the whirlwind of emotions he feels towards Sofie, both seven years ago and now. She slowly brings him back to the land of the living and it terrifies him. Sofie doesn't back down when it comes to Donovan. She'll push him and fight him until he opens his eyes. When he does, their love is magical. I can't wait to see how that love blossoms as they become background characters in the rest of the series.

I adored Rescuing the Bad Boy. Jessica's characters brought sunshine on a gloomy day. I just had so much fun reading this book and I'm so looking forward to Connor and Faith's book. Until then, I must start Jessica's Love in the Balance series. The mini reunion with characters from that series sparked a fire under my Kindle. I must read them soon!
