I really enjoyed this fun and emotional second chance romance. The characters are very likable, their chemistry is hot and the storyline engaging. I felt that Sam and Lexi’s book was very relatable. I think most people have met someone that they felt they just clicked with and the time was just not right for whatever reason. The plot takes this idea and runs with it and it makes a very entertaining read. Add in some twists, drama and plenty of emotional turmoil and you have a enjoyable read.

I loved reading this book. This is about a multicultural second chance romance but with a realistic twist. This is a unique book about the meanings of past relationships, present relationships and the children from these relationships. The H Sam St. John is twenty-four and on a last hurrah with his three closest friends, his cousin Tom Whitmore who has been his closest friend since childhood, his other two friends, Pete and Jeff whom he has known since junior high. On the way to Vegas they pick upped a hitchhiker, a gorgeous Latina with striking features, bronze skin, long legs and a generous bosom. Sam knew something was off about the new passenger but he has no idea what. He suspects something bad happened to her. When they get to Vegas they drop her off at the hotel where they were staying at. She went and sat in the lobby. The four guys went to their rooms and got ready for a night on the town. They were having a grand time gambling. Then Sam went back to the hotel on his own. There he saw the guard on duty manhandling the hitchhiker getting ready to throw her out of the lobby. Sam stepped up and told them she was his girlfriend. He could see the fear and desperation in her eyes but when he told the guard she was his girlfriend, he could tell she was grateful. Sam took her out to dinner. They talked and he found out her name was Lexi. Lexi told him she was running from an abusive ex and that she was running for her life because the ex would kill her if she didn’t. She was going to MIT on a full scholarship. She wanted to become a scientist and help people live a better life but her ex cut her off from her family, friends and school. They talked and the emotional connection and chemistry between them was there. They spent a passion filled night together. The next day Sam took Lexi to the airport and bought her a ticket to San Francisco where her parents and sisters lived. He also gave her two thousand dollars for incidentals. She did not want to take the money but Sam insisted. They felt the loneliness of parting when Sam said next time they meet they would spend more time together. Ten years later: Sam was working for the family company St. John & Co. when his father told him about a new company they acquired and he wanted Sam to go evaluate the company from failure and put it back on the right track. His father wanted him to go to San Francisco for about a year. His father knew about the marriage Sam was in and got out of and wanted him to get out of Chicago for a while. The problem was his daughter Amy. He decided to go to San Francisco and fly back when he had visitation with her. His first meeting with the board of directors and heads of departments was eye opening. Lexi from his past was there. They immediately reconnected. They had coffee after the meeting and talked for a few hours catching up. He finally found out her name was Alexandra Ramone. Afterwards, Sam pulled back from Lexi knowing he had a lot of baggage that he did not want her to get involved with. Lexi was confused that he wanted nothing to do with her. The opposite was true. He wanted her with a passion. A few weeks went by Sam only seeing Lexi at meetings. Eventually his good friend Zane told him to get his head out of his butt and go after her. He did and Lexi responded just as he imagined, she wanted him just as badly. They were together for several months when Sam’s ex-wife appeared out of the blue. Lexi ran into Jessica in Sam’s office and Jessica told her she was Sam’s wife. Sam finally told Lexi about his marriage to Jessica, he told her about his daughter Amy who was not biologically his and what that did to him. He crashed his car, was in a coma for four months and rehab for two years. When he awoke he promptly divorced Jessica for her infidelity. He had only married her because she was pregnant with his baby and then found out by accident that Amy was not his. He told her that Jessica was threatening to stop his visitations to Amy if they did not get back together. So, Sam had to go back to Chicago to fight Jessica for visitation and he did not know how long he would be gone. This is an exciting, riveting story about complicated relationships. I really enjoyed reading it and highly recommend it. I received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

What a wonderful read. They had one night together and then life got in the way. Now years later they have a chance again but things are again trying to get in the way again. It is exciting, heartbreaking, emotional, suspenseful, heartwarming and so much more. The way the characters and story is blended so well together this is a must read.

I love this second chance romance!! Sam rescues Lexie when she was on the run from her abusive boyfriend. They had one unforgettable night together and when Sam sent Lexi home to her family he knew he would never forget her and told her to make the most out of her life and maybe fate would bring them together again. Fast forward 10 years and Sam is a broken shell of himself. After a disastrous marriage and a horrible accident he needs a new beginning. The new company his family took over in San Francisco is his new start, especially when he lays eyes on Lexi! This is full of twists, guilt, suspense, but also hope and a sweet love that never dies for either of them!
