What a wonderful way to start the New Year with the delightful read, SECOND CHANCE SEASON. It has it all, plenty of spice and everything nice. You will fall in love with hunky, handsome, sexy, Garrett Strickland, who was born and raised in the small town of Hotchkiss, Colorado. His dreams for his future fell apart when his father died suddenly. He dropped out of college, specializing in agriculture, and never returned. He was forced to sell the family farm because it was so heavenly mortgaged he could no longer afford to keep it. He was content helping friends and neighbors in any way he could, and spent as much time in his favorite pastime, Hunting! Hunting!! Hunting!!!! He works in a job at the Hotchkiss Co-Op that is going nowhere.

Driving to work in his no-name Truck, he sees an expensive car parked on the side of the road with the flashers on. Enter Cara Cavanaugh: long, lean, and very lovely city girl from Chicago. On an eight week freelance assignment, Cara is going to be writing about farming in rural Colorado. Their attraction to each other is instant and HOT. They are from opposite sides of life. Cara from a wealthy family, is due for a large trust fund in the next few years; while Garrett is just making it, moving along in a job that has no future but dreams about a small white house on his own land. Their chemistry is pure magic and soon Cara wonders if their fling is temporary or could it be forever?

Liora Blake knows how to spin a romantic tale with characters you love and root for. Garrett lives in a modular trailer on a dirt road, drives his big, dirty truck and is content to just stay where he is. Cara is ambitious and wants a future in freelance writing, but wonders if it is time to think about marriage and a family.

Garrett has a big heart and helps Cara by introducing her to all his farming friends in Hotchkiss where she gets to know some nice folks, meet and react with some cows, and learns interesting things about the state of agriculture in Hotchkiss, Colorado. Her articles are well received, and soon her eight weeks are over. Time to return home to Chicago.

A story of country boy meets city girl, their problems, hopes, and dreams. When Sara learns that when you find that special someone who understands and accepts the real you, it is time to take action for that forever together. It is a journey filled with laughter, hot passion, getting to know each other intimately and intellectually, and what happens when it is time for them to part. What is in their future? Is it together? What a sweet romance. Sometimes funny, sometimes witty, with a big splash of sex and an ending that will make you smile and warm your heart. Then, like me, you will be looking for what's next from Liora Blake. I am a new fan and I loved SECOND CHANCE SEASON. Bravo!

SUMMARY

Return to Liora Blake's Grand Valley series with Second
Chance Season
, in which an avowed country boy meets an
ambitious city girl who reminds him why dreaming big and
taking a chance is worth the risk.

Garrett Strickland is unapologetically country, fiercely
loyal, and all about living in the present and not dwelling
in the past--even if he was once on his way to a lofty
agricultural sciences degree that would guarantee the
brightest of futures, only to end up back home when his old
man died, leaving behind a debt-ridden family farm that was
impossible to keep afloat. After that, it was easy to see
why dreaming big wasn't worth the heartache of losing
everything. And until he crosses paths with a city girl
who's hell-bent on kick-starting her own future, he's sure
that good enough is just that.

Cara Cavanaugh is ready for more from life, even if that
means changing everything; including dumping her long time
boyfriend, turning down a lucrative job at a major
newspaper, and leaving behind the upscale suburbs of Chicago
where she grew up. Now, she just has to pray that
temporarily relocating to the middle of nowhere in Colorado
will be the first step in building a career as a freelance
writer--all she has to do is prove she's got what it takes
to make a name for herself. Unfortunately, her tony country
day school is as close to country as she's ever been.
But when a goodhearted guy who looks like he just stumbled
out of a country music video offers to help, she ends up
falling hard...and discovering that the perfect story, as it
turns out, is a love story. And it's theirs.

Second Chance Season, book two in the Grand Valley
series, is a charming, feel-good romance, perfect for fans
of Jennifer Probst and Kristan Higgins.
