A Second Chance At Forever (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
By day Angela is an average person with a normal job but weekends she is known as Candy Cane. She is a stripper. She took the job after her divorce to help her express herself and earn money to help pay for her mothers medical bills. Up until now, Angela hasn’t run across anyone she knows until her brother’s best friend and childhood crush is seated in the audience. Alex has come back to his hometown of Las Vegas to celebrate his friends impending marriage. The last thing he expects is to want to spend time will a sexy stripper that has a familiar feel. When in the heat of passion Angela calls out Alex’s childhood name her cover is blown and he finally knows why she feels familiar. Though Alex initially feels like he should stop everything with his best friend’s sister he can’t get past how she feels. Plus, he’s only planning to be in town for the weekend. That is until Angela finds herself pregnant. Alex insists on doing the right thing, but after suffering the loss he has only a year ago he’s not sure he will every be able to give Angela what she needs or deserves. Can two wounded people fall in love with the gully of grief that lies between them or will they just be co-parents?This was a great little read. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I thought that the idea of Angela being a stripper was definitely something I hadn’t read lately. Angela and Alex’s budding relationship was really well written even if it was a bit fast. I personally would have enjoyed a bit more back story of their childhood around each other. I think that would have given everything a bit more depth. For a quick read and a sexy love story it was a good one. It is definitely worth a read if you are in the mood for strippers, sex, pregnancy and love I snagged this ebook as part of a freebie read. The story is good, but a tad drawn out and the ending weak. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! There is enough intrigue there, that I had to see what happened to the characters. Sadly, it ended happily, but with a lot of questions left unanswered. It would have been nice to see what became of the characters and their lives, maybe with an epilogue of sorts?! Ending it by stating they will have a future together, without all the details, is just wrong. Overall, the emotion of the characters and their inability to trust, due to the hurt and loss each has experienced, is heartfelt. If you enjoy romance and you want your heart strings pulled, definitely get this book. Just be prepared to have many questions unanswered.
What do You think about A Second Chance At Forever (2013)?
Good story, likable characters, but a tad drawn out and anticlimactic ending.
