An unexpected job offer turns my life upside down. It isn’t a boring life, like some may think, just predictable and comfortable. Just like I like it.Then a client shows up, waving money in my face, telling me all she needs is evidence that a thief is up to no good. Investigating him will be easy, she assures me. It will be over soon, and you’ll have plenty of money to enjoy after the work is … enjoy after the work is done.
Then I see this man, this fraud, this thief. This ridiculously sexy and rich man from my past who I’ve been trying to forget for years. And now I have to follow him around while remaining unseen.
I don’t think my heart could take seeing him again, but I need the job.
Our little game of cat and mouse turns out to be sexier than I imagined. Sparks fly, pulses race, and I can’t believe I’m falling for him all over again.
Sebastian Cunningham
I’m not a bad man, but I’ve done my fair share of bad things.
Just when I need to focus on keeping out of trouble, they send that sexy little fox after me.
She’s chasing me, and I’m chasing something much bigger. Something I can’t afford to take my eye off. The chance of a lifetime.
So why is it that I keep turning around to find my second chance with her?

A Second Look: A Forbidden Second Chance Romance is a good read; interesting,entertaining with suspense and mystery,good storyline,interesing characters with great chemistry,well done! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book!!! thanks!
The story of Eve and Sebastian involves mystery and romance. Eve was a PI hired to investigate Sebastian, who was a former rival from high school. Sebastian had become a shady jewelry store owner involved in criminal activity and people around him started dying. There is mystery and romance in the story but I never really liked Sebastian’s character and never understood Eve’s interest. It was an okay story but not one of my favorite books by Lexi Aurora, although I usually love her stories.
I feel torn about this book. There were many aspects of this book I enjoyed. I liked the male lead character Sebastian but really disliked the female lead character Eve. He was charming and open. She was closed off, had a scowl on her face and a bad attitude nearly all the time.
It also had a very unique storyline that I had not seen before in a romance book. That was a surprising twist. All in all, a good read.
A wonderfully well written mystery suspense romance. This interesting storyline includes mayhem, mystery, suspense, espionage, sexual tension, and twists and turns that kept me on edge from page one. The characters are interesting and well developed with amazing sizzling chemistry. I was extremely captivated in this entertaining romance suspence holding my breath till the shocking reveal that included a HEA. I honestly and voluntarily reviewed this ARC.
Enemies to lovers second chance
A Second Look by Lexi Aurora is a sweet and sassy read. These two characters, Eve and Sebastian tickled me. Eve, so sassy and independent, determined to stubbornly deny her true feelings about Sebastian. Sebastian is charming, which only seems to annoy Eve and amuses Sebastian to no end. He has no doubts about Eve and that only increases Eve’s ire. Quite amusing for the reader.
Overall a fun read, an interesting plot with a little mystery thrown in and a HEA.
I read and ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.

A second chance for two high school friends. Sebastian turned into a millionaire on the wrong side of the law. Eve a journalist turned pi. She knows it’s a mistake when she is hired to follow Sebastian. Little did she know just how right it would turn out. There are so many twists you have to get to the end sooner.
I couldn’t get into this story at all. I tried several times just to see if it was just my mood at the time, but it didn’t help. I didn’t click with either character and the storyline just didn’t hold me.
Excellent!
I think it’s for now, the best Lexi Aurora story I’ve read. I loved these characters, their dialogue, their tumultuous relationship, the action of the book. It’s well written and exciting.
Sebastian is a kind of thief like a rich Arsène Lupin made and is found by Eve, whom he knew in high school. She became a private investigator and is hired to investigate his fortune and perhaps his links to the criminal world. Despite the denial she seeks to demonstrate, she is irredeemably attracted by Sebastian who already annoyed her in high school. However, she changes her mind when Sebastian’s relatives begin to die one after the other and that their safety is questioned.

This is a second chance romance. There is Eve who was an investigative journals who turned into a private investigator. She loves to solve puzzles & the new guy she is investigating is quite the puzzle. Sebastian is now a billionaire but when she new him he was just an obnoxious arrogant high schooler who was always competing with her. When strange things start happening will she be able to figure out what is going on in time? Interesting book. Took a bit to get into the story but once I did I enjoyed it. Quite a few twists and turns. Hope you do as well.

Sebastian and Eve grew up together and he was a pain but she still could not forget their kiss. When a wealthy woman comes to Eve’s office wanting her to follow Sebastian because she feels that he is doing illegal activities, she offers her three times her going rate. When Eve and Sebastian reconnect, she never expected to get caught up in his drama with people dying all around her. Will she fall victim to his troubles? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Eve, a former journalist turned private investigator, was asked to investigate an old schoolmate, Sebastian Cunningham, a billionaire businessman. Reluctantly she begins and is swept into a whirlwind of mystery, murder and attraction.
I enjoyed the mystery part of the story more than the romance. I found Eve very annoying and immature. I felt she was still stuck back in their high school days and in the middle of their old rivalry.
Sebastian was mature, but how he got involved in the life he led was beyond me.
Overall, a solid 3.5 stars from me. It was entertaining, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as “On Second Thought”, the previous title in the series.
