Second Chance Courtship


KAYE, GLYNNA
SECOND CHANCE COURTSHIP

Never Trust a Cowboy.

That's what Kara Dixon's mother always warned her. Back home in Canyon Springs, Arizona, to care for her ailing mom, Kara comes face-to-face with rodeo cowboy Trey Kenton. Her former flame—and one-time bad boy—is finally ready to settle down and start a family, and he's got his heart set on Kara. But she's determined to head back to her big-city life in Chicago once her mother's on the mend. Can the charming cowboy convince her to trust him and give their love a second chance?

I SURE AM GETTING MY FILL OF COWBOY STORIES LATELY...AND LOVING 'EM ALL!!!!! THIS SECOND BOOK BY GLYNNA KAYE PACKS JUST AS MUCH OF A PUNCH AS HER FIRST ONE DID. SHE IS BACK WEAVING MAGIC WITH WORDS, CREATING CHARACTERS TO LOVE AND A PLOT WITH ENOUGH BUMPS TO MAKE YOUR READING EXPERIENCE A BUMPY RIDE.

TREY MAKES AN IMPRESSION FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME WE MEET HIM. BAD BOY TURNED GOOD AND TRYING TO CONVINCE A TOWN OF THAT FACT. WITH TWO ADORABLE NIECES IN HIS CARE WHILE THEIR PARENTS ARE OUT OF TOWN, THE IMAGE OF TREY HAS A FAMILY MAN IS INCREDIBLY APPEALING. I WAS A GONER AFTER THE FIRST SCENE.

UNFORTUNATELY KARA WAS A LITTLE HARDER TO CONVINCE...OR MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE FORTUNATELY SINCE THE BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER BEFORE IT HAD BEGUN IF SHE TURNED INTO A PUDDLE IN THE FIRST FEW PAGES LIKE I DID!

KAYE DID A MARVELOUS JOB OF LEAVING US A TRAIL OF TEMPTING MORSELS THAT WE HAVE TO PIECE TOGETHER IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT KARA'S...AND TREY'S...STORY. AND SHE ACCOMPLISHES THAT WHILE TEASING US WITH THE UNDERCURRENTS OF ROMANCE. IT'S NOT A TRADITIONAL COURTSHIP, BUT IT IS ONE THAT YOU WILL BE EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN BY THE END OF THE BOOK.

ONE OF THE STORY THREADS INVOLVES FORGIVENESS -- IT'S A HARD LESSON AND A HUMBLING ONE TO WITNESS BEING PLAYED OUT. AND SOMETIMES IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE. A FOOLISH MISTAKE MADE IN THE PAST BY A TEENAGER COMPLETELY ALTERS THE LIVES OF A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE. GRITTY REALITY AT IT'S BEST.

WRAP ALL THAT UP WITH THE SWEET HOPE OF A SECOND CHANCE AND YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE READ BY AN INCREDIBLE AUTHOR.
