From New York Times bestselling author Skye Jordan, the second in a sexy new series set in Nashville, The Wrights.
There is no story too risky for foreign correspondent Dylan Wright. Not until the same reckless drive that shot him to the top of his career also cost him his best friend’s life. Shattered by the loss, Dylan returns home to fulfill his friend’s last request—for Dylan to reconnect … reconnect with his family and do right by the woman he left behind. But the love he thought lost all those years ago returns with a vengeance, and the only assignment he’s interested in now is a second chance at first love.
Emma Reeves is a survivor. Even the trauma of losing the love of her life couldn’t crush her desire to become a doctor. Engaged to a successful surgeon and weeks away from finishing her residency, Emma’s path is set. Until the man who broke her heart resurfaces with an offer too good to refuse. Now, Emma is forced to choose between two dreams—the one that saved her all those years ago, and the one that ripped her world apart.
So Wright
Damn Wright
Must be Wright

Oh, goodness; this one was so good!
Though I have to admit, Ms Jordan waited until literally the last minute to give us that HEA, and I was…concerned, shall we say? Good grief, reading was supposed to be my stress reliever today…
But I digress.
Dylan and Emma’s second chance romance was a lovely story. Trying to sell a romance as a second chance is always tricky–it didn’t work out the first time, why should we believe the second time will take?–but here Ms Jordan did an excellent job of showing us exactly how the two of them have grown and changed since their first attempt (underlined by a conversation between Emma and her BBF toward the end, just in case you didn’t get it before ;)) and the epilogue leaves us feeling all kinds of happy feels. Exactly what I needed this week, thank you!
I also loved seeing Dylan’s siblings again–their dynamic is so much fun–and cannot wait until Gypsy gets her book! (And not just because there will be even more of baby Cooper in it than was in Dylan’s, honest…)
If you haven’t read Miranda’s book yet ( So Wright ), not a problem–Dylan’s would work fine as a standalone. Truly, though, I love these siblings–do yourself a favor and read the series!
Rating: 4 stars / A-

I really enjoyed this book! I love KT and Ben! Even though they seemed to be so different in their lifestyles and their outlook about life, they find that they compliment each other perfectly. KT thinks that she doesn’t know anything about relationships or families but her actions with Ben’s daughters indicate otherwise. I have read everything that Ms Jordan has written and this one is definitely in the top five! All I can say is that I sure envy the life that they end up with.
This is book 2 in The Wright’s series and it features Dylan and Emma. He’s a foreign correspondent in Syria. He’s coming home after tragedy struck and he lost a good friend. He’s home to find and give closure to the past. Eight years ago he and Emma were married. Four years ago she divorced him. Extreme circumstances made him push her away back then and extreme circumstances have brought him back. Will he be able to show her that he’s really back or has she lost faith in the man she used to love with all her heart?
The story line is fantastic as well as the characters. I loved that Dylan, Gypsy and Miranda mended their sibling relationship and left the past in the past. I liked how Marty immediately made Dylan feel comfortable with their relatable experiences. Marty is a great guy! Definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
Wow this book was full of intense emotions of forgiveness and trust. It’s a second chance romance between a formerly married couple and the mistakes made at a young age. How can a couple who have such magnetic physical chemistry get past 8 years of separation since Dylan pushed Emma away? He proves to her she’s the most important person in his life and he won’t live without her.
There is so much in this book about youthful decisions, consequences, trust & love. Skye handles it all with a master’s touch. I was sucked into the story rooting for Dylan and hurting for Emma. You can tell Skye’s lived a life of learning because the wisdom that comes from Emma’s mother Debbie in this story is spot on. The resolution of the story was perfection.
Dylan Wright is a foreign correspondent who seems to be a daredevil when it comes to covering war torn countries. He returns home When his best friend Amir, a Syrian journalistic “fixer” dies in his arms he made a promise to him to come home and make things right with Emma, his former wife. He still loves her but pushed her away after 6 months of marriage when he was almost killed and badly burned in a car accident. He expected to be disabled forever but he pushed through and recovered to become a top shelf imbedded journalist. He stayed away from his family of two half-sisters and Emma as penance for his mistakes. Gypsy and Miranda are overjoyed to have him home and rebuild their relationships but Emma is not.
Emma Reeves put herself through med school, has 3 weeks left of her residency and is engaged to surgeon Liam Parnell when she sees Dylan again. She’s overwhelmed by emotions at seeing her soul mate once again. She’s never managed to let him go in her heart or forgive him for pushing her away. They need closure. She finally realizes that though rich & successful Liam is narcissistic and doesn’t really love her. He’s not interested in helping her pay her debts or helping her clean up and sell the house her Great aunt Shelly left her. Dylan wants her back and he’s willing to move mountains to do it including cleaning up the house and remodeling it so her school debts can be paid when it sells. He does so much more to prove to her she’s number one in his life now.

Damn Wright, book 2 in The Wrights trilogy, is a really terrific second chance romance. I have to admit though, I almost didn’t make it through the prologue- talk about heartbreaking! But I’m so glad I persevered because I ended up really enjoying this story. Dylan and Emma were meant to be and I’m so happy they found their way back together.
I can’t blame Emma for being leery about Dylan, after the way he ended things between them. I’m not sure I could easily forgive something like that either. But I liked Dylan’s persistence to win Emma back. There’s a fine line that’s easily crossed when it comes to showing a hero trying to win back his love, between being determined and being outright stalkerish, and I appreciated how Ms. Jordan was able to keep Dylan on the good side of that line!
I really enjoyed seeing Emma and Dylan reconnect and work their way back to each other. Even though years had gone by, and as much as Emma had tried to move on, you could just tell they had never truly given up on the other. I do love a good second chance romance, and Dylan and Emma’s story was an emotional, heartfelt one that left me happily swooning!
*I have not read the first book in this series, So Wright, but that in no way affected my enjoyment of this story. I think Emma and Dylan’s love story can definitely stand on its own.
Second Chance of the Heart
I love a great romance and second chance romance pulls at my heartstrings! This one is no different. These characters have a history that makes it difficult for them to walk away, but even more difficult for them to forget the pain that was caused.
Dylan walked away from his life and Emma after his life took some unexpected turns. He felt he was doing the right thing and needed to allow Emma to move forward with her life.
Emma has worked hard to establish her career and she isn’t ready to have her world turned upside down with the return of Dylan. But his return changes things and makes her rethink where she is at in her life. And forces her to make some hard choices.
These two did not have an easy go and they have to to work to get to the Second Chance. Their struggle draws you in to their pain and joy.
I truly love these two together. It is a great addition to the series.
After a devastating accident tore them apart 8 years before, high school sweethearts Dylan and Emma are brought back together after Dylan makes a deathbed promise to a friend to come home and fight for the woman he’s always loved. As he deals with the trauma of the war zone in Syria, Dylan reconnects with his estranged sisters and tries to win back Emma’s trust. Emma still loves Dylan but struggles to trust and to reconcile starting anew with Dylan with the plans she has made without him to do humanitarian work as a doctor. Wonderful, realistic story, touching on current issues in a way that readers can relate to. I highly recommend this book.
This book is so well written. I love that she does not shy away from dealing with the trauma of war. The characters are very well written and believable. The scenes have great detail and the story line draws you right inside the book and has you turning pages. The pace of the story moves along very well. I love how much detail is given about the characters background, I feel like it helps you connect with them much better.
Dylan and Emma are such a great couple. Their story line sure does pull at your heart strings.
I love how strong yet vulnerable Dylan is and I love how strong Emma is as well. The sex scenes can be a bit graphic so I would not recommend this for a young readers. Overall, great book highly recommend.
I was pulled into this second chance romance at page one and enjoyed it very much. Dylan and Emma’s story is one of unimaginable tragedy, pain, heartbreak, redemption, and forgiveness. Dylan is back in the country and in Emma’s life and is determined to win her back. I loved Dylan and Emma together and their journey back to togetherness. The scene on the plane melted my heart and I loved the ending…..perfect.
8 years ago Dylan pushed Emma out of his life after a near tragic accident. After the recent tragedy he suffered while on assignment in another country, he is back. Realizing what he has lost and everything he wants to gain between his Love for Emma and his family. Dylan will stop at nothing to win her back. The road to recovering Emma’s love for him is a hard fought battle. As the heart and soul wants what it wants. Loved this story
Damn Wright is a great second chance romance. Dylan fought hard to earn Emma’s trust back & win her heart again, and I loved his surprise in the last chapter. I’m enjoying this series, and I look forward to Gypsy’s story next!

What an amazing couple that truly had to fight through intense hurt and betrayal to even be willing to try for a second chance at love. Dylan and Emma were happily married until an accident leaves Dylan broken with a bleak prognosis to be whole again. He does the unthinkable and pushes Emma away believing she deserves better than a broken man. He goes own to pursue his passion as a journalist, covering the most horrific stories in dangerous conditions. When he loses a good friend, he finds himself returning home to reconnect with his family and just maybe, to get another chance with Emma. Emma was shattered by Dylan but she found a way to push forward and pursue her passion in medicine. Finishing her residency, she never expects to see Dylan on her doorstep and is shocked when he actually apologizes. They find themselves co-owners of a house that she really needs to sell to help payoff her student loans. Dylan takes on the task of fixing up the house which keeps him in contact with Emma. The love is still there, you can feel it between these two, but how do you rebuilt the trust and push away all the hurt. I enjoyed every heart-pounding moment of this journey. They are two passionate people driven to pursue their dreams. They kept me guessing to the end as to how their story would end. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
5 Stars
Second chance romance at its best!
Dylan Wright has been living out his dream of being an international correspondent, live from within the depths of hell known as the war in Syria. But when tragedy strikes and he makes a promise to his best friend, he finds himself back home in Tennessee to make amends with not only his sisters, but also to try to win back the love of the wife he pushed away eight long years ago.
I loved every minute of Dylan and Emma’s story. Married at a very young age, these two thought they would be together forever…until they weren’t. My heart broke for these two over and over again. Emma had held out hope for so long for Dylan to come back to her and when she’s finally given up, he’s suddenly back in her life. You can’t help but root for them. Even after eight long years, you can still feel their magnetic pull to each other and feel their love jump off the pages. I’m loving this series so far and I cannot wait for Gypsy’s book!

For Dylan and Emma love is about living truth, even when the world crashes down around you. Damn Wright is a tale of courage that is shadowed by pain, guided by strength and consumed by love. Jordan immerses readers in a romance unlike any other. From tragedy to triumph the emotions are intense enough to swallow you whole, but captivating enough to uplift your soul.
I just love this author’s work. I haven’t read a book in a while, but when this one came out, I had to have a go at getting back into reading. Well, she hooked me from the very start.
I loved Dylan and Emma’s story so much. Stories where the characters muck up their young love, especially when they think they are doing the right thing for everyone involved, and get a second chance are one of my favourites, so this was right down my alley.
Now I can’t wait for Gypsie’s story. From the bit I saw in this book, it is going to be great.
This is a fabulous second chance romance. These two have a very traumatic past and a deep love for each other.
Dylan has a lot to make up for and he’s determined to win Emma over. She’s got plenty of reservations, understandably so. Dylan hurt her and she’s guarding her heart. They have super hot chemistry and I loved how much Emma tried to resist Dylan’s charms.
I loved how they worked it all through, Dylan’s determination was to be commended and he really proved how much he had grown and changed. I think when a person is willing to change their own life plans to accommodate yours they truly love you.
It’s got a small town, family feel to it which is a favourite trope of mine. I’m really looking forward to Gypsy’s story and I’m hoping it goes in the direction I think it will.
Nicely written and I enjoyed this story from start to finish.
Well done by Skye Jordan. Dylan and Emma with years apart. Can they Dylan get Emma back with all that has been done
