Review
This is a book I have been waiting for!!! So imagine my shock and delight when I found it on shelves 14 days early at Baker Book House! (And then I read it that same day… I have issues ok!)
This second chance novel is about Gracie Parker, a Rom-com writer who is burned out on love. But when a painful injury leaves her desperately in need of help, the last person she wants is Noah Parker the husband she divorced 5 years ago! With the baseball life behind him, Noah isn’t certain where life is going next, but he is certain Gracie’s injury could be the perfect thing to win her back. But both have unresolved issues they have never faced. And Gracie isn’t certain she wants a second chance with her first love…
This book is amazing!!!! The storyline is super cute and I just loved every page! The humor is fantastic, you just keep laughing through every chapter. (There are 2 or 3 sad parts, but they really just make the book even better!) Honestly, this book is one of my new favorite romantic comedies and one that I totally suggest to young ladies 15 and up!!!
Now there are some adult topics. Mention of marriage and how 2 people really know each other. Some mention of passionate kisses and such. Underwear is brought up multiple times, mostly in humorous ways. And a few mentions of taking bubble baths. NOTHING is described and nothing happens, there is just some mention of adult topics that kids shouldn’t read.
Overall, I love this novel soooooo much! I can not get enough of Becca Kinzer’s books and I need more!!!!!!!!!!! Young ladies 15 and up would love this funny, second chance book about love and forgiveness! -The Young Llama Reader.
Pros
- A super sweet romance about 2nd chances!!!
- Totally hilarious!
- A prefect novel for young ladies 15 and up!!!
Cons
- NOT a kids book.
She’s a romance writer burned out on love. He’s her famous baseball star ex-husband. The last man she wants to be forced to work with is the one who broke her heart.
Rom-com writer Gracie Parker hasn’t written a bestseller since she and her husband, a major league baseball star, divorced five years ago. On thin ice with her publisher―and with a looming deadline―Gracie couldn’t have picked a worse time for a painful injury that has her flat on her back. At this point, she’d accept help from anybody . . . except her first love and ex-husband, Noah Parker.
The baseball season has just ended in massive disappointment for Noah. He’s facing the stark reality that he gave up everything for a career that’s let him down and that it might be too late to get back the one person he should’ve held on to. So when Gracie’s nephew calls, saying Gracie’s looking for a tenant for her next-door rental, it feels like it’s meant to be.
All Gracie cares about is turning in her manuscript on time, which is directly at odds with Noah’s attempts to win her back, even if she is slightly charmed by his kindness. But can people ever really change? Then Noah throws a curveball that could give Gracie the extension she needs, but it will mean working directly with Noah, something she’s not sure she can face. With no other choice, and everything on the line, Gracie must decide if it is too late for a second draft of their own love story.
