An amazing well written clean, contemporary second chance. This engaging storyline has in depth plot development with mystery and suspense keeping me interested from start to finish. It also includes an emotional roller coaster ride of old memories, regrets, drama, being cautious, humor, reconnecting, sabotage with unknown motive, surprise twist and love. The characters were once high school sweethearts that are realistic, interesting, and well developed. It is wonderfully narrated really bringing this incredible heartwarming romance to life.
I received a free audible copy of this book. I loved the story of how Kaitlyn & Dillon get a second chance to be forever together. There is someone who has a grudge against Dillon & tries to keep them apart so there is a mystery to solve. The audible book is very well done by Janine Granda. I liked her voice very much. A very well done story.
I loved this book! The characters were very relatable, and Margie just made you feel at home. I like how it came together to bring about a second chance. I liked the intrigue and suspense in the book as well. This was just a really good, sweet, clean, feel good read.
A relaxing Christmas story, warming the heart. It is a Christmas that everyone dreams about but rarely experiences. A cozy Inn, with festivities and fun for all ages.
The story is a bit predictable with lots of fore-shadowing, so the suspense isn’t high. Only one thing really surprised me. For that you’ll need to read or listen for yourself.
Janine did an admirable job narrating.

This author has a knack for creating characters that are believable, situations that keep you guessing, adding surprises and suspense along the way. She keeps you wanting one more page or one more chapter and then you finish and it’s way after bedtime. It’s all done in a clean, non-preachy way while still getting the story told. I received this book as an ARC and this is an honest review.

I purchased a copy of Second Chance With You book 2:Love Renewed by Lorana Hoopes and this review was given freely.
A blend of two sweet second chance at love Christian romances with a sinister undertone. Recently divorced and single mom interior decorator Kaitlyn is wary of men since her abusive ex-husband and losing her high school sweetheart Dillion 10 years ago. When she agrees to redecorate Dillon’s mother’s lodge at Christmastime she receives more attention than she bargained for. Realistic characters including a cute five year old boy, an extroverted best friend, and an interfering mother provide humor and drama while balancing out the topics of abuse and the odd feelings Kaitlyn gets when around Jullian.
This was a sweet Christmas book written by Lorana Hoopes. I loved the flashback scenes and the realistic interactions between the characters. Ms. Hoopes did a good job creating this sweet story.
This is now the 11th book that I have read and posted a review from this author. I love her books. However, I would have to say that this book, Love Renewed, is the best one of hers I have read by far. It was so good. I am glad that it had some length to it; because I enjoyed reading it so much. All of the characters were so well fleshed out and such an important part of this book, especially Jack, Kaitlyn Bell’s little 5 year old son. His Mother Kaitlyn and long time love, Dillon Fields were very good and I liked their parts. Kaitlyn’s friend Melody was a good in this book and I can see her own book coming in the future. Also Dillon’s Mother Margie and her friend Dan the Policeman that assisted Dillon to find out what was going on with Julian and learn his identity. I think Margie and Dan will get their own book in the future too.
Love Renewed is the second book in the Second Chance With You Series. As the series title suggest, the book is about reconciling after several years of being apart. Unfortunately, it’s so hard to forgive the “One” who broke your heart. As usual, Ms. Hoopes has written another great book. It’s a pleasure to read a book that is well written and clean. The characters are personable; the setting is the Colorado Mountains; and the road to romance has a few potholes, Add a mystery and you have Love Renewed,
I love stories about second chances, and love, and Christmas! This story has all of that and more. Old high school sweethearts with years and experiences that have left them with doubts about loving again – and they get another chance. But can they move past those doubts. Great characters, and a story that makes us feel that we’re right there with them.
A sweet story of second chances with your first love.
I received an ARC of this book from the author, Lorana Hoopes, and this is my voluntary and honest review. I have enjoyed and loved every book that I have read by this author and this is one of her best. This is not only a second chance at romance for Kaitlyn and Dillon but there is a mysterious man trying to keep them apart. I highly recommend this book.
