First Love, Second Chance & Temperatures Rising was a good read by Brenda Novak and Brenda Jackson. First Love, Second Chance was a great read by Brenda Novak.

Temperatures Rising (Jeffries #2) was a good read by Brenda Jackson. Sherri Griffin is a successful radio producer who has had to weather all different kinds of storms. Nothing would have prepared her for DJ Terrence Jeffries. They both find themselves stranded together during a hurricane hitting the Keys. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
3rd book in this series, just as good as the first one. A must read if your a fan of Brenda Novak and great writing.
I loved this book and to find that it had a short story at the end from a new to me author was an even better deal.
In First Love, Second Chance Katie comes back to her home town with her head hanging low. She doesn’t want anyone to see her especially the man she left for another man. But when her car breaks down on the side of the road and it begins to rain, Booker has to stop because he has the only wrecker in Dundee. When he realizes it is Katie, the anger he felt at her for leaving begins to resurface.
He takes her to her parent’s house but they refuse to let her stay, saying she needs to learn a lesson for her actions. So Booker does the only thing he can, he takes her to his house until she can find somewhere else to live.
So you can guess what will happen between Booker and Katie in the end but you would guess wrong on what happens in between. Booker is/was the town bad boy and Katie fell for him. Those feelings don’t go away and Booker was never the relationship kind of guy but he fell for Katie but wouldn’t let his feelings show. Now he is ready to show her if he can get past the pain of the hurt she caused him for leaving.
This is a great story and I can not wait to go back and read the others in this Dundee, Idaho series. Author Brenda Novak has a way of keeping you in a story, it is like you are there sometimes.
**In Temperatures Rising, author Brenda Jackson has a short steamy story set in the Florida Keys with a hurricane headed their way. Terrence and Sherri are a great couple once Sherri realizes that her heart has already fallen for Terrence. It is her head that needs to catch up. I hope there is or will be more to this story, I need to know how everything turns out after the hurricane.
