Nadia
Being dumped right before the holidays is the worst. The last thing I wanted to do was head off to a big family dinner where I could hear all about why I was suddenly single. My mom wasn’t taking no for an answer. The last person I expected to see was the one man I’d always wanted, the one who’d never given me a second look. But there he was, eyes smiling with promise, right in front of … promise, right in front of me.
Could this be happening? God, I hope so.
Sam
I was at loose ends, and figured why not? When my grandmother invited me to a Thanksgiving family dinner with her old friend, I was hoping to see my first love. And then, there she was, arms full of pie, right in front of me.

This is a steamy, fun second chance at love story about Nadia and Sam. Two childhood friends who never knew about their crushes on each other. Love the chemistry and playfulness between Sam and Nadia and I’m glad they finally get an HEA.
She gets dumped by boyfriend. It is the holidays and of course like a mother she won’t take no on her coming home. So in she comes with her arms full of pie and guess who is there. The one man she crushed on when she was younger. Little does she know he felt the same. This holiday is going to be fun and she doesn’t even know it. These short stories in this collection are awesome. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
A perfect read when you need a quick story between supper and dessert – and to avoid the relatives.
Sam and Nadia have known each other since childhood but never quite got together. But seeing each other again brings about enough heat to bake those pies!

Hot Apple Pie tells the second chance story of Nadia & Sam. Nadia & Sam grew up together. They both secretly crushed on each other but never acted on it. They moved on with their lives in different directions until a chance encounter at Thanksgiving dinner brings them & their past feelings together. Hot steamy & oh so sweet. Loving Second Helpings.
Second Helpings are collaborations of short stories by different authors They share a Thanksgiving theme & second chances. I’ve read the other collaborations by this and the other authors and loved them (The Cocktail Girls, Halloween Honeys). These individual short stories are quick reads. Their brevity doesn’t lack romance, steam or that ‘Awww’ feeling when your heart melts.

Nadia is dreading going to her grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving. No longer engaged, she doesn’t want to be bombarded with questions. She doesn’t expect Sam, an old friend, to be there. She certainly didn’t expect for sparks to fly. This was a great, quick read. Nadia & Sam are adorable. This is my first book of Laney’s & I’m looking forward to reading more of her books!
A very sweet short story, yet a great deal of sensual moments as well between the main male and female characters.. A feel good romantic read. Interesting characters, some quite quirky. Typical type extended family dynamics. However, all this the family was very close to one another.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this short story via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This is a very quick read but quite fun and steamy. The book offers a plot that I think comes across as super relatable and genuine. Nadia and Sam were very cute together and their scenes sizzled. This is a second chance romance that inspires lots of feels and swoony moments.
