The Summer of Second Chances by Miranda Liasson

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

The Summer of Second Chances by Miranda Liasson, book three in her Seashell Harbor series is a wonderful, emotional tale for Darla and Nick; two people rediscovering each other after time apart and the new and different people they have become. The novel follows ex-spouses Darla and Nick as they navigate trying to help their friends get married in two weeks while also dealing with their complicated past and possibility of a future together.

Darla, a best-selling writer of suspense novels and cancer survivor, has just returned home from a year away in California. The last thing Darla expects to see is her ex-husband, Nick, in her home. She needs to sell the house so she can return to California for a full time teaching position and move on with her life. The last thing she needs is to have feelings for Nick surface. Her best friend is going to marry Nick’s brother in two weeks, and she and Nick are thrown together to help with the planning after all their plans fall through. Darla has a two week book deadline for a book she hasn’t written, helps with all the wedding stuff and spends a lot of time with Nick. Both Darla and Nick are struggling with their feelings. Neither stopped loving the other, and now those feelings are growing. Both Darla and Nick are no longer the same person they divorced after their tumultuous short marriage. With so much trying to keep her in Seashell Harbor, she is unsure if she can move away and make a new start.

 

Ms. Liasson wrote a romance with all the feels, that was sweet, emotional, electrifying, and should not be missed. This read was particularly emotional due to the complicated past between the two characters, Darla's previous battle with cancer and subsequent worry that it would return, and her helping another young cancer patient deal with her own trials with the disease. Filled with chemistry, good intentions, and a cast of secondary characters assisting Darla and Nick rediscover the love they both deserved. I highly recommend The Summer of Second Chances to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
