STORYLINE: A year has passed
since Sabrina and Renaldo met in The Ultimate
Merger and
married each other. One night Sabrina goes out and the unthinkable happens, but
like the old saying goes—things aren’t always what they seem. Renaldo cuts Sabrina
out of his life, but needs her help to cement a business deal, and Sabrina uses
this chance to prove her love to her hubby and try to get back in his good
books.
PLAYERS:
Sabrina da
Silva
is a workaholic, who is devoted to her spouse and has helped him expand his
business since their marriage.
Renaldo da
Silva
is hot, passionate and stubbornly refuses to believe that there may be
extenuating circumstances surrounding Sabrina’s gaffe.
I LIKED: The passion that’s evident when Sabrina and Renaldo are together or think
about each other. The glimpse into
Brazilian culture and lifestyle (particularly family values) is enlightening
and enhances the storyline.
I COULD HAVE LIVED WITHOUT:
the angst
that the couple faces early in the book. Of course, they had a year of
happiness, but I felt for both Sabrina and Renaldo as each of them dealt with
the damage to their relationship. I do, however, understand and appreciate that
this is how the romance is supposed to go.
COVER NOTE: The
cover speaks to the genre/subject of the novel and lets readers know it is
connected to the prequel The Ultimate
Merger.
The way the models are posed reflects some of the behind-closed-doors stuff
that goes on between hero and heroine in Second
Chances.
OVERALL COMMENTS: Second
Chances was like meeting old friends. It’s a quick read that pulled me
along for the ride and kept me interested. I wanted to see things work out for
two ambitious people who clearly love each other. There is a twist at the end,
which keeps things realistic—the plot line would have felt too perfect without
someone in the story having feet of clay.
Having met in-laws Alexa and Leonardo,
I’m interested in reading their story, which is the first book in the Hot Latin
Men series.
If you’re a romance junkie, and like
intense sex scenes, you’ll enjoy Second
Chances.
SOURCE: I bought Second
Chances from Amazon.
