Before The Second Chance is a fantastic rock star/second chance romance novel by Thia Finn. I had never read any of this author’s work but I do love rock star romances and also second chance romances, so I just had to give this book a try. I’m so glad that I did as I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
16 year old Emmy falls in love with guitarist Alex Trace when she sneaks out to go see a show and meets him afterwards. When they share a kiss she’s totally besotted. Fast forward 5 years and when she meets him again after a show she’s totally gutted when he doesn’t remember her.
By chance she meets him again a year later when her current boyfriend Marcus, who works with the band, gets Alex and his brother Adam to use Emmy as their realtor. Although Alex doesn’t remember their first meeting he’s intrigued by the beautiful Emmy and she can’t get him out of her head. When Alex becomes ill, they are become much closer.
I really loved this story. It is very emotional and it’s fantastic storyline and characters will keep you gripped throughout. Alex is a very troubled young man who thinks he doesn’t deserve true happiness due to his actions in the past. Can Emmy be the one to change him and be his HEA? I suggest you read this book and find out. It’s a fantastic read!
Before the Second Show by Thia Finn is a stand-alone book that will completely immerse you in its tale.
This book is absolutely amazing!!! Emmy and Alex are the perfect kind of broken that just draws you in and makes you want to learn about every little thing. The fact that they aren’t these “perfect people” is really what caught my attention. While I might not love a rockstar life it made me feel like I could be going through the same thing as them at anytime:
The story was brilliant as well. It had such a depth to the writing that you could picture everything so clearly. This book has been fantastically written and I hope we get to see more from these characters!!
Before the Second Show by Thia Finn. Emmy and Alex oh how they will be with me long after I finished reading this book. From page one I was completely hooked on their story. Each one gave me a million reasons to love their story. This author is new to me and I’ll definitely be back for more. Each character just draws you into their world and I never wanted to leave. The characters are complex, relatable and so well written I forgot I was reading at times. This book definitely has its hot scenes but it’s also got a bit of an emotional roller coaster and I loved every minute of it. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. And characters you can’t help but connect with. I’m giving this story a five star review and highly recommend. I’ll be adding it to my read again list for sure!
