What will happen if their feelings for each other begin to change? What does the future hold for Melinda and Adam? Would they take a second chance at love? Read this book to find out. This story had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I grew to care about what happens to Melinda and Adam. I wanted them to be happy. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between them. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters that they interacted with. This is a romantic story that warmed my heart.

I enjoyed this second chance romance story. This is my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more from her. This is a well written story that is full of heart and undeniable chemistry. I had no issues connecting to the characters as they took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. I was pulled in right from the beginning of the story. It is an engaging, fast paced story that had me turning pages fast. Melinda lost her love and led a lonely life. She is determined to bring couples together to find their true love. Adam is a handicapped Marine whose girlfriend dumped him after he came back home. What will happen when Adam goes to Melinda for help? What happens next neither one expects and neither will you. I highly recommend reading this book. Their chemistry will pull you in!
