"A well-written, sexually charged erotica"

Fresh Fiction Review

Second Chances

Reviewed by Maria Munoz

Erotic

Rori Simon left home shy, overweight, and lacking confidence. Now she's back having spent 10 years exploring the world and becoming a strong, confident, and beautiful woman. She's a successful romance author and plans to spend her time writing and reconnecting with her family. It's not long before hot men start knocking at her door. She starts to fall for Jude Callahan, bad boy and former high school crush, a man who only does casual relationships. He has no interest in commitment or monogamy. Everything changes when she meets Zach Helm, her best friend's brother and a man who fulfills all her fantasies. Zach and Rori are perfectly matched in the bedroom, he loves to dominate and she willingly submits. Soon they are in love. Jude watches them together and wonders how he let the perfect woman get away. Has he lost his chance forever?

SECOND CHANCES is a revised reprint of an earlier title. It is a well-written, sexually charged erotica. The main and supporting characters are engaging and the relationships are realistic and well-developed. I particularly liked the relationships Rori has with her sister and her family, and with Zach. The plot moves forward quickly and kept me up late reading to the last page. There are one or two plot points that deviate from what a reader expects from a romance and some readers, like me, will have a strong reaction by the time they reach the end.

SUMMARY

Ten years ago, Rori Simon left town shy, unattractive and with zero self-esteem. Now she's back, older, stronger and finally loving herself—and it shows. Hot men are soon knocking at her door, including Jude Callahan, the bad boy who starred in her teenage daydreams...and her adult fantasies.

Jude can't believe the sexy, confident woman before him is actually Rori! She's gotten under his skin like no other woman has...and she brings out secret desires he can't resist. He wants to dominate Rori with every fiber of his being. Wants to own her and pleasure her. To cherish her as he makes her his.

Rori discovers she likes being controlled. She also knows Jude is not a one-woman man. Everything changes when she meets Zach Helm. Edgy, sensual Zach knows just what she needs, and before long, she's in love. Jude watches them together and wonders if he's lost his chance forever...
