Thirty years ago, as teenagers, lawyer, Bobby McLean and travel writer, Sicora Clarke shared an intense love affair and had a happy future planned. But when Sicora ended it with no explanation and Bobby never heard from her again, it devastated him.Today, one marriage and one horrific tragedy later, Bobby returns to his island home of St. Lucia to help him reset before a fresh start in San … San Francisco.
Sicora Clarke intends to be in and out of her birthplace quickly. When she unexpectedly runs into Bobby McLean in the most dubious circumstances, it resurrects issues that she had buried decades ago, issues that rocked her entire world—issues that tore them apart.
When Sicora returns to life on the US east coast and Bobby on the west, neither can forget the plans they made and the passionate life and love they used to share. But with the geographical distance between them and a world of secrets, conflicts and dangers amid them, it widens the gap physically—but not necessarily in their hearts.
With Sicora’s life now threatened, could a rekindled love be the only way for them to make it out alive or was this reunion doomed from the start…

Rebecca Rohman is a new to me author and One More Chance at Love, is the first book I have read by her. And what a book it is. Not knowing too much about the story and just diving right in is a romantic, drama, thrilling, twisty road, laugh out loud and grab your tissues all at the same time.
As this story is on the longer side, I didn’t feel the length of it. From page 1 to last it is the story that builds, you need the background to pull those emotions and the connection between Bobby and Sicora out.
Bobby and Sicora are what every teenager in love is all about, each other, making plans for the future. But one indirect change changes their paths dramatically in a blink of an eye. Choices are made and paths are rerouted and life goes one.
Thirty years later Bobby and Sicora cross paths once again in one moment that can alter anyone’s life again!! But wanting answers of why, and instant feeling that you have not felt in years come back strong and the desire to not let again can be hard to handle.
So when life throws some more curveballs at Bobby and Sicora, can they keep up and find the peace they are both looking for?
Just like the title, this book is all about second chances. A second chance at love, friendships, self-worth, self-healing and so much more.
This story was a hooker that’s for sure. The words just came off the pages like nothing before. I loved it. Rebecca really outdid her self with this story. The attention to details on every page had me hooked like a fish to a hook lol. I was that into the story. The way she ties all the characters together from past stories makes it come to life even more. I really felt for the main characters Bobby and Sicora both had a happy past that turned into a not so bright present that had one emotion after the other. the way everything was explained with how each one was feeling and thinking was out of this world great. This is for sure one story that takes you on a ride for your life with the romance, thrill, emotions you name it. MUST READ, I do have to say you don’t need to read the other stories but if you do def want to read Jada and Jonathan’s story just to know who they are in this story. The events and locations had me dreaming of all types of vacations and wishing I was actually in that spot at that moment. Its a really phenomenal read.
Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! I have been waiting for his book since I read my first title from Rebecca Rohman. And One More Chance at Love was worth the wait.
I liked that both Sicora and Bobby had lived life. Thrived. Loved. Experienced pain and loss. And when a very unexpected twist of fate puts them back into each others orbit after decades apart, it was the second chance that they never knew they wanted.
But not everybody was happy. In fact, Sicora was in very real danger. It brought out all of Bobby’s protective instincts. He needed her safe and pulled out all the stops to make it happen.
I liked that while they were on alert, they let their guards down with each other. Shared the pain of their past. Let some of their anguish go. Healed.
There is no one who writes romantic suspense like Rebecca Rohman. It is thoughtful. Well thought out. Cultured. Twisted. And, as usual, I couldn’t figure out who was behind all the danger and mayhem. When all was revealed, I was in shock just as much as Bobby and Sicora. But that ending…sigh! Their second-chance was thirty years in the making and I am so glad they got it.
When I started to read this book, I thought I wouldn’t like heroine Sicora. Because of something she did when she was young but I changed my mind soon enough. What she went throught is something what should never happen to anyone. I’m so happy that Sicora and Bobby got their second chance after all those years they spent apart from each other. I had my own idea about who was targeting Sicora but I was wrong but close.
*ARC for honest review*
My heart is bursting with the amazing journey Sicora and Bobby took me on. These two met as kids and found a pure and wonderous love. As they neared graduation, they had a plan, sharing their hopes and dreams for beautiful life together. Then one fateful night, everything shatters for Sicora and she pushes the one person she loves away as she works to protect herself and rebuild her spirit. Thirty years later, they have a chance meeting that brings them back together but life has battered each of them. Bobby is coping with the loss of his wife and daughter, while Sicora continues to cope with the nightmares from the night that changed it all. As they work to rebuild a friendship, Sicora’s life is threatened putting Bobby in protector mode which is a great excuse for Sicora to stay with him in San Francisco until they solve the mystery. I love how the love they shared never died but they still needed to take time to reconnect and learn about each other again. Sicora being able to share her passion for travel with Bobby was a joy to experience while it gave Bobby a new perspective, helping him cope with his grief. The passion they have for each other is electric. This story delivered all the emotion as their love grew and the mystery deepened. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
This Second Chance love story is a real mix of emotions! It spans three decades from young teenage first everything’s to heartbreak and devastation to second and even third chances! These two young lovers have been through the wringer and still, when they reconnect, have danger and healing to get through. But this time they are together and it is heartwarming to see them communicate and help each other mend as they navigate their feelings and trust amid the chaos and confusion that become their lives. You will be trying to figure out who is after who as you travel the world with them, visualizing the beautiful scenery so eloquently portrayed.
Rebecca Rohman always writes wonderfully entertaining books and I enjoyed this one, glad to find our couple get their HEA, even if it was 30 years later. So settle down in a comfy chair and immerse yourself in this rollercoaster ride of a book!
I really enjoyed reading One more chance at love!!!! It was a emotional rollar coaster ride and really unexpected journey!!! Rebecca Rohman has a way of describing a place so vividly you feel like you are there!! I can’t wait to read more!!!!
I received an ARC of this book. I absolutely love this series. Rebecca’s newest One More Chance at Love was a real nail biter….the suspense right up until the end. I am saying to myself if this doesn’t end right I am not going to be happy. Rebecca has a way of describing places in such a way that you feel like you are there. Several years ago I took my grandchildren on a trip up Hwy 1 to San Francisco….and she took me on the same ride thru Cannery Row, Monterey and Carmel. The love story between Bobby and Sicora is perfect. Excellent series to read.
