"Intriguing story about short-order cook trying to distance herself from her past"

Fresh Fiction Review

Twice the Chance
Darlene Gardner

Romance Series

Short-order cook Jazz Lenox has secrets. One is that years ago she gave birth to twin red-headed babies. But she gave them up for adoption. So when she run into a pair of children who could be hers, and encounters their sexy uncle Matt Caminetti, she vows to stay away. All she ever wanted was for her babies to have a good life. If these are her twins—and they may not be—she doesn't want to interfere with their lives.

But the Caminetti family is hard to avoid once they've taken a shine to you, as Jazz soon learns, beginning with the persistent Matt. Interim high school athletic director and youth soccer coach Matt is taken with Jazz from their first meeting, and giving up on getting to know her isn't in his vocabulary. Jazz, however, wants to keep her past—all of it —in the past.

I expected a good, pleasant read. In TWICE THE CHANCE, I got a great one.

Darlene Gardner weaves an intriguing story in superb fashion. Every word adds value. Every plot twist turns back on itself and leads to another twist. The Caminetti family as well as the other unique characters are real and believable and add depth to an already strong storyline. Gardner ties them all together in a surprising, more than satisfying read.

SUMMARY

Jazz Lenox had her reasons for giving up her babies for adoption. So she can't burst into their lives after eight years. Yet there's no doubt these kids are hers. No one could mistake that unique hair.

She knows she should walk away. Especially when she meets the twins' uncle—sexy, shoot-from-the-hip Matt Caminetti. But how does she leave a man who's so persistent…and so ruggedly appealing? Most surprising of all, Matt believes in her. Believes in them. A future together means coming clean about her past. All of it. It's the only way to find out if she really has a second shot at the life she's always wanted….
