I voluntarily read an arc of this book for an honest review. Devin is so close to the revenge he’s been planning for three years. Elly and her father made a fool out of him and he will take them down. Nothing will satisfy him except full humiliation like he suffered. Elly has moved and her life has changed dramatically when her father needs her help once again. She’s frustrated and doesn’t want to but he’s all the family she has left. Well except for her precious little gift. She grudgingly goes home to help her father and is shocked at how much things have changed. She knows he didn’t make good on the deal that destroyed her life and now is in even worse shape. This is the last time, she promises herself. When Devin and Elly run into each other vying for the same start up company they’re both surprised. Elly is terrified he’ll learn her secret and knows he hates her. She deserves his hatred and just wants to get this deal for her dad finished and go back to California. Devin is gratified to see Elly, now his revenge will be even better. Destroy the man who sent his daughter to steal from him and make the daughter pay too. He’s looked everywhere for her and now it’s payback time. Or at least it would be if his heart wasn’t beating so fast and he wasn’t secretly glad to see her. But no, he could ever trust her again, could he? Elly loves her dad but she’s starting to realize he may not have told her the truth about Devin. She was sure he was the villain three years ago but in light of information and more exposure to the sexy older man she’s not sure anymore. When the unthinkable happens and Devin finds out about her secret will he despise her or welcome her back? This was such a great book! The characters had this explosive, magnetic attraction that was just plain hot and revealed sides to both of them the other didn’t know and made them characters you’ll enjoy reading about. I loved this second chance romance it was so good!

Devin has a very successful business in finance. He can’t get over a woman he had a one-night stand with three years ago. Elly had been sent to work with Devin by her scheming father. All to do with a deal he wanted. Devin and Elly had their one night together and then she disappeared after breaking his heart and costing him millions in the lost deal. Can he become involved again? Will he be so stupid? Brilliant story.
Another great read, with lots of chemistry and hotness. This is a well written story and hooked me from the start.This is a quick hot read, with a interesting plot and fantastic characters, great emotion and Loads of steam!
I never understand how someone would justify keeping a baby a secret. If timing/circumstances make it impossible to tell at the time surly when you meet again, no matter how much later it is you would tell the person they’re a father…right? Apparently it’s just me.
This story features a secret baby, second chance romance and work romance all in one. There’s a lot of trust issues, drama and a bit of suspense. The characters are well rounded and (mostly) likable, you will root for them to forgive and move past their mistakes.

This is a wonderful story with Devin and Elly who work in the same type of business and she even doubled crossed him three years ago trying to help her father broker a deal. Now Elly has to face off with the same man trying another for the same deal but this time she has extra baggage she has to protect. Loved how the love/hate relationship between them was soon turned around and the fact that they shared a little girl was what finally brought them together.

Emotional, intimate, volatile, and characters with great chemistry. These words describe Devin and Elly’s story. It has an unusual storyline. Devin had been burned by Elly and did not want to let that happen again, ever. But somehow it did and he could not kick himself enough. You will have to read S is for Second Chance by Annie J. Rose to see why Elly had such power over Devin.

Annie J. Rose has written a 5-star book that has Elly and Devin with old feelings for mistrust, lies, and betrayal on top of the feelings they still have for one another.
Elly had got talked into going to work for Devin’s company as an intern by her father. He told her that Devin had taken something that was his and he wanted her to go and get it back. There was an attraction between Davin and Elly from that first day. One night while working late Elly and Devin got together and unknown to either of them Elly gets pregnant. After things with Devin goes south, Elly leaves and moves to Los Angeles where she and her daughter Lizzy live. Now her dad calls and needs her help with a deal so she and Lizzy go to New York to help him. Unknown to her this is the deal that Devin plans to take Ron down with. He has waited for 3 years for the right time to get his revenge on Ron. Devin walks into the office of Toby, the owner of the company that needed the start-up investment, he sees Elly and her father Ron. When Ron sees Devin he gets mad and starts yelling at Devin. Toby comes out and thanks them for coming but he gets an uneasy feeling. Devin comes up with an idea that one person from each company does the talking for their company. Toby agrees to the plan. The talks do not go well at all, neither one of them wants to back down and Devin comes up with another idea. His idea is that they do a joint investment and they work together. Devin doesn’t think Elly will go for this idea, but she said she had no problem with working with Devin. Devin gets informed that Elly has come by to see him and he tells his assistant to let her in. They talk about the deal they both want. Elly tells Devin that they are not going to back down and walk away, he tells her the same. Elly comes up with a plan and she outlines it for Devin. This plan is that he gets one night with her and then he withdrawals from the deal. He thinks about it and tells her to be at his place the next night at 7 p.m. As he thinks this over later in the day, he decides that he will not go through with it. Things do not go the way he plans the night Elly, they get into an argument and she starts to leave, Devin calls out to her and tells her not to forget her coat. As she grabs her coat and pulls, Devin lets the coat go and she starts to fall. Devin grabs her so that she doesn’t fall. With this move, things get hot between them and they come together and have sex. When they are done Elly tells Devin not to forget about the deal they had where he walks away from Toby and his company. Devin gets a call from Toby and tells him that he will be withdrawing his offer. Elly and her father go to the meeting with Toby to sign the contract but Toby has a few questions that Ron answers. Toby signs the contract and it is only as Elly and Ron are leaving that she learns that her father lied to Toby, this upsets her to no end. She knows the only person to prevent Toby’s company from going under from what her father plans to do is Devin. Elly goes to see Devin and tells him what she found out and they agree to work together to save Toby’s company. Things are going well until after meeting with Toby, Elly and Devin are leaving and they meet her father outside. Ron gets mad and he lets Devin know that he had gotten Elly pregnant and that he has a daughter that he knew nothing about. Devin is really mad when he learns about Lizzy. After he gets over the shock of being told he has a daughter, he goes to see Elly. Things do not go as well as he had hoped and they get into another argument again and he leaves. Some of the things he said to her got her thinking. She goes to see her father and get the truth about what happened 3 years ago. She finds out that her father lied to her about everything.
Can Elly explain everything to Devin and give Devin a second chance?
Can Devin let go of the past and get a second chance with Elly?
This book was a wonderful read and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, wow, wow!!! This book started with a lot of action. Drama, drama and more drama. I think it was wrong of Ron to use his daughter the way that he did. Messing up a great relationship just to get ahead in life. Elly dad could not pull off a job if it bite him in the butt. Destroying her life 3 years ago just to get ahead in life and he could not even pull that off. Devin was pissed on top of his game and had the last piece of the puzzle to destroy Ron Savage and Elly life. Not realizing he would be destroying his own daughter Lizzy life too. Devin was in a lot of pain behind the woman he loved most in life. He was out for blood. Ron and Devin were going after the same company. One reason Devin wanted the company was to ruin Ron and Elly life. Showing up at the same place for the meeting of buying a company that could make or break the Savages, Devin proposes a plan to have himself and Elly to put a business plan together to see who will be the better candidate to buy Toby company. Ron did not like this at all. Elly had a lot to lose. A secret that was walking and talking. Devin wants to know why she stole their secrets and almost ruin his family. This was a great story. I downloaded the book and could not put it down. Great job Annie! This story was captivating, intriguing and hot, hot, hot!!!

Wow! This was full of ups and downs for a relationship that had a second chance. Devin and Elly had 3 long years apart after Elly stole company secrets. Their on again off again chemistry was off the charts. The second time is better and more fulfilling than the first!

I wasn’t sure if this book would have a happy ending. The level of hate and betrayal between Elly and Devin was off the charts but, so was their raw passionate attraction. Elly has some serious flaws/secrets that I wouldn’t be as forgiving as Devin but, that’s what makes a great enemies to lovers romance. Devin is so torn with his feelings for Elly. One minute he seeks revenge and the next he wants her in his arms. It is a very difficult relationship to navigate and I really didn’t think they were going to make it especially with Elly’s father around to stir up the trouble and make everything worse. I really, really disliked him. Elly put up more than her fair share of family loyalty to a manipulative and deceitful father. I found this story very intriguing and kept me glued to the pages.

Elly’s father convinced her that Devin was stealing clients from their company, so she interned for Devin, not letting him know who she really was and stole from him and then moved across the country. They were separated for three years due to miscommunication and pride. These two have sizzling chemistry! Really good read!
