His Muse: A Second Chance Romance (Forbidden Desires Book 2)
By anniejrose
Summer romance, ha! This one goes so deep. Emotional ups and downs throughout the story. You will buy into the story so much that you will feel lost. Ben is a puppet for some of this book, with so much beyond his control. He loves Winnie, but knew it couldn’t be more than what it was – a relationship for the summer. His best friend would kill him if he found out. When his circumstances finally change, he moves back to see if this love is still there, as he had never gotten past their time together. Little did he know, neither had Winnie, with so many other situations than he could imagine. This second chance had turns and twists that will have your stomach in knots. So worth it in the end!
His Muse is about a second chance romance between Ben, an artist who is forced to work at his detested father’s business, and Winnie, his best friend’s sister who is leaving for college. Ben and Winnie have a one night tryst prior to fate intervening into their lives. Ben is forced back to Boston by his father to work at his business. After his father’s death, Ben sells the business and returns back to Winnie and his best friend. While Ben was in Boston and not responding to her or her brother, Winnie was left pregnant by Ben which ends in tragedy. When Ben returns to find a greatly changed Winnie he must discover why this has occurred.
This book is well written, has a realistic plot, contains unexpected plot twists, and has steamy chemistry. I recommend this book for purchase.

As sweet as this story was, it was all over the place for me. This didn’t only deal with a second chance romance between two who lost touch. I dealt with a young woman who gave herself to her brother’s best friend and then had to deal through something difficult alone as he was not reachable. This also dealt with a man who was under the constant eye of his overbearing father and not until he passes does, he feels relieved. This story is about Winnie and Ben and even though at one point I thought that Ben needed to man up to his father, he does not know everything that she had to endure alone. It is sad to see when one doesn’t have the one support that they truly need, but the good thing is that it does not close them off to what reality can be in the long run. Forgiveness is all that is needed to mend and strengthen a heart! Annie did a great job with this book and it feeds profoundly into those who may have been through what Winnie experienced, but as always it has a positive ending.

This is a wonderful, emotional story. I really did fall in love with the main characters, Winnie and Ben. I could feel their pain as the author took me on a moving story through their first love for each other. And then the fallout of that love a few years later. Then to the beautiful ending.
I think I went through a box of tissues. The angst was real and tear jerking. Even through all that the love was brightly shining. That blinding love showed through on each and every page. Even through the tears.
The story line is strong and unique. The characters are real and emotional on a level I don’t see in every book I read. The main characters well thought out and very relatable. The supporting characters were of importance throughout the telling of the story and added an extra layer of depth.
If I could I would give this book a definite 6 STAR rating.
This book is such a good read. It’s both heartbreaking and heartwarming….. I felt so much for Winnie, Ben and their respective families. Despite the sadness in this story, it remains optimistic and uplifting. Fantastic characters, great story, beautiful read.

An enjoyable story about two people, Winnie and Ben – who were lovers when she was in high school but he was forced to move by his mentally abusive father, so he was never aware that she had become pregnant and lost a baby. After his father’s death, he moves back to the town permanently and gradually the relationship develops again. There are many problems that have to be dealt with, involving her family and other people, and a lot of emotion on both sides, but both Winnie and Ben are strong people who know what they want and are happy with each other, so they are able to deal with the problems.

Grab the tissues!
We start off with the backstory and setting up the summer fling our characters had before going their own ways. Things get extremely complicated quickly and it’s a bit of heavy reading. Readers should be prepared to feel in depth what’s happening and connect with how the characters struggle. There’s so much realism you’re sure to cry while you experience with them.
The romance and second chance is beautifully written I ‘ve we get to it and you’ll be cheering for a happy ending.

Winnie was his life, his love, and his muse, but due to his father’s control and dominance, Ben left her for five years. He wasn’t aware of the tragedy and suffering she experienced by herself. Very interesting and engaging story with well defined characters. Excellent read!

A Heart-tugging Second Chance Love Story
WOW! What a journey this author takes the reader on. And I must say that before you get on board you must bring a box of tissues (and I don’t mean one of those little travel-size packets) with you. Now that that’s out of the way, this is a story of two people Winnie, just graduating from high school is ready to begin college and Ben being forced to go live and work for his father in Boston. They steal away for a night of passion then separate. Unbeknownst to Ben Winnie becomes pregnant but tragic strikes and she is thrown into such grief that last for years.
Five years past and Ben’s father has died so Ben is moving back home to the west coast. He finds Winnie when he learns from his mom she never went off to college. He finds her and she tells him her very sad story, takes him and his mother to the cemetery. There is new grief, but also closure finally for Winnie.
There is a possible second chance approached tenderly.
This is not an easy storyline to read but it is beautifully written. I commend the author for taking on this subject with such compassion.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book for your reading enjoyment.
I received this ARC from “Bad Boy Update” for my honest review so I’m leaving this for your consideration. Peace.
