SECOND CHANCE SUMMER
Restoring Hearts
When Rachel Shaw and Jack Fletcher meet on a sunny Georgia beach, it seems like the perfect start to a romance. There's just one problem—neither one is the least bit interested in falling in love. They're just looking for peace, and time to work through their losses. But Rachel's aunt Eleanor and Fletch's Gram have other plans. Their meddling matchmaking would drive Rachel and Fletch nuts if they weren't busy restoring a house for one of Gram's charities. Yet as they repair the house, it's their hearts that begin to mend. Soon Rachel and Fletch realize they might be able to build a second chance at a great love.
My Review:
What an exquisite read! A compact love story with all the substance of a longer novel. Hannon has created some winning characters -- and not just the hero and heroine. I grew particularly fond of the elderly conniving matchmakers. Both funny and poignant at the same time.
Of course, Fletch and Rachel's hesitant foray into romance is at the heart of Second Chance Summer. Both trying to shake off collateral damage that life has dished out, neither certain they are ready for any kind of commitment. Hostility turns to tolerance and then reluctant interest as they creep closer towards a relationship. Their love story kept me turning pages right to the end. This is a read-it-in-one-sitting kind of book.
