BLURB
From USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Evan Grace, comes a brand-new touching story about second chances and the jagged road to forgiveness.

The weight of the world sits heavy on my shoulders. The men in my life have left me broken and bruised. I know that I have to dig deep to find the strength to pick up the pieces and move on. However, there is just one problem, or one man standing in my way.

Hank Burns.
My ex-husband.

It's been five years since our divorce. I lost everything back then, and if I'm being honest, I've just been going through the motions. I just want to be alone, I want to salvage the pieces of me that are left and move on, but Hank is adamant that we give us another try. Can I really start over with the man who broke my heart into a million pieces?

When we were together, I thought that he and I could handle anything. It was us and our love against the word. Life, unfortunately, had other plans, and we experienced a tragic loss before we ever got to test our us vs. the world fairytale.

Life once again intervenes and brings us back together, but the demons from our pasts threaten to move in and ruin everything. Now it seems as though our second chance could be taken from us too.

Good thing we’re both prepared to fight for our happily ever after.

MY REVIEW

Brooke's in the last place she'd ever thought she'd be - her ex-husband's home. When her boyfriend assaults her, Hank and his family, both his biological and his MC brothers, become her own personal protectors. Not only is she surrounded by the ghosts of her past with Hank, but the result of Hank's betrayal in the form of the most adorable little boy, has decided he's her new best friend. How is her heart going to survive all this close proximity? Can she ever forgive Hank and embrace him and his son with her whole heart?


Second chance stories are usually some of my favorites. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite work for me. It's not horrible or anything, and there are some great characters - Brooke, Hank's son and family, but I just can't get past the circumstances that brought Brooke and Hank to this point. His betrayal just doesn't seem to be something a real person would be able to forgive. The way it's sort of brushed under the rug didn't set well with me either. So though the writing is good, I dislike the plot and don't feel as if Hank deserved the second chance Brooke gave him.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
