Sometimes when you find the one…fate lends a helping hand.-Ivy-Cooper Page was my first love. God, I was so crazy about him, I handed him my heart on a platter, but he went away to college, and left me and my broken heart behind.What did I do? I ran away to the Big Apple to make a new life, a life without him.But I could never forget him, not those beautiful green gems. They followed me right … gems. They followed me right into my dreams.
Then something terrible happened to me, and I had no choice, but to head home while I figured I could lick my wounds and heal.
I thought one hundred percent Cooper would have moved on.
A man like him would never stay in a small town, like Springston, Texas.
But I was wrong Cooper was in town.
And he was even more gorgeous than he had been back in high school.
He was also the owner of the bar I had walked into looking for a job.
Cooper
You could have blown me down with a feather when Ivy Moore walked into my joint. No one was that lucky.
I knew then we were meant to be together. She was always my greatest regret, and all I wanted to do was start over, give ourselves a second chance, but that was going to take way more than just a wish, she had Do Not Touch signs put up all over her luscious curves.
Who could blame her. Everything she knew about me was tainted by the past.
I never was one to give up. She was the one woman I’d never been able to forget.
Yup, I planned to win her back come hell or high water.
Sooner or later I was going to taste those delicious lips again…and this time I was NEVER letting her go. A full length standalone new adult and contemporary romance with all the feels and happy endings.

Second chance – What do you do when the one that got away walked into your bar? It’s definitely not the beginning of a joke but is fate on your side this time? Ivy is not the same person that Cooper took advantage of. She’s a bit broken and much fearful which makes asking for forgiveness much trickier. Is starting over even an option? There are steamy sex scenes, serious domestic issues in a likeable second chance romance. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
Ivy is a journalist in an abusive relationship. Slowly she has been planning her escape but one night when she gets home from work things escalate and she has to leave sooner than she planned. Leaving everything behind she returns to the only place she felt safe her hometown. When she couldn’t get hired on anywhere in her chosen field she ends up applying to be a waitress. Cooper is stunned when he sees Ivy and since she needs a job he hires her to waitress. Sparks fly between them and they both fight their attraction. Ivy is worried that her past might catch back up to her so she tries to keep to herself. However Cooper isn’t going to let a second chance with her slip through his fingers. What will he do when he learns of her abusive past? Can he help her move on from what happened to her?
This is an amazing story that will draw you in from the first chapter on. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Cooper was Ivy’s first love and she was shattered when he left her to go to college with no good by or anything. She headed to NYC determined to be a famous journalist and live her life. Years later her career was going no where and her boyfriend has become abusive. She flees the city and returns to her small town in Texas, hoping to start over. She can’t find a job and ends up in a bar to console herself, not realizing that it’s Cooper’s bar. Cooper regrets leaving Ivy and knows that he is the only woman he will ever truly love. He is floored when she walks into his bar, but he can sense she is hiding something, other than just embarrassment. He gives her a job and secretly hopes she will let him back into her life. I love the romance, the danger and the passion. It’s a great second change love story!
