This was one of the best second chance books I’ve ever read. I loved it so much! Because I had to sleep a bit, I didn’t read it in one go- but now I had some time to digest it too. I loved that Nick never gave up and Kady gave him a very hard time, not giving in to his charming grins. Happy sigh- thinking of reading about Nick’s grins. This is what the book’s about:

This was a short and sweet second chance romance. As always with this author it just makes you feel like you have been wrapped up in a nice warm hug when you read her books.
Nick is a police officer who was shot in the line of duty and on deaths door all he could think about was one person and the biggest mistake he has ever made. He left Kady almost at the alter and put his career ahead of her. He knows he made the biggest mistake of his life and now he wants her back.
Kady, a nurse , in the small town of Fate, Texas was hurt so bad when Nick left her that she has never opened her heart again. He now has to work to get her to give him another chance.
I have read several of this author’s books that are set in the small town of Fate. They have all been excellent books. She is an auto-buy author for me now and I can’t wait to read more of her work.
Jess Bryant has done an amazing job with Kady and Nick’s beautiful second chance romance!
Nick abandoned Kady when he was a young man, off to be a cop in Dallas, but now that he’s almost died in the line of duty he’s back in Fate ready to fight for Kady.
Kady doesn’t want to give Nick another chance to hurt her like he did years before, but can she manage to keep on pushing her away?
A sweet love story, back in one of my favourite fictional towns with some serious, steamy sexy times and some of the other hot cops of Fate checking in throughout the story. I’m dying to see what Ms. Bryant gives us next!

Can he prove he is her man for ever
Jess Bryant has a lovely way of writing a heartbreaking but heartwarming story in Out of the Blue she does it again. Nick left the small town of Fate, TX to chase his dream but when fate delivered a blow it made him realize that his dream really wasn’t what he thought it was. Instead he realized that he was actually meant to be with the woman that he left when he was off chasing his “dream”.
Kady is not sure what to do when Nick shows back up and declares that he is there for her and she is the most important thing to him. Instead she is determined to stay far away from him, and who could blame her. I mean can you really ever trust or believe a man when he shows up out of the blue after having chosen something else over you? Nick has other plans and is determined to prove he is truly her and she is truly his.
This is a fast-paced short story that is filled with all sorts of sweet romance. Yes there is some drama but it works well with the story-line and the characters. I enjoyed reading this story and would recommend it to anyone else who has a couple of hours and wants to get lost in a sweet story.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

This is a wonderful emotional second chance romance, we are back in the small town of Fate, where Nick and Kady were high school sweethearts and engaged to be married when he took a police job in the big city and broke Kady’s heart in the process. Back after being shot and having nearly died, he realizes that Kady is all he needs to live, now back home and determined to win her back, he’s not nothing to lose as he goes all out to get her back.
A wonderful fast-paced story, the storyline is sweet and emotional, there is still plenty of chemistry between the characters to cause some serious steam. Highly entertaining.
ENJOYABLE SWEET read!
A sweet read with a bite of angst that took me on an emotional ride that kept me needing to turn the pages. A great second chance read I gladly recommend.
I liked this emotional second chance novella. I found something very compelling about this story that focuses on the choices you make and how a wake-up call from life can change how you see things. I thought their story offered plenty of tension, emotional turmoil and angst. I liked Kady a lot and I felt for her. For me, Nick was just OK. I know he had regrets but I wish I could have felt more of that from him.
What happens when the love of your life comes back after he shattered your heart? What do you do when he says he wants a second chance?
I love Nick and Kady! No matter how much she tries to push him away and protect her heart he slowly weasels this way in little by little. He shows up day after day to try to prove that he wants her back more than anything and he regrets breaking her heart. (I thought she should have made him grovel a little bit more though lol) True love transcends time and heartbreak! I love that Nick admited his wrongs and fought for what he wanted no matter what!
I gave 4 stars because of several typos through out the book but still a great read!

Out Of The Blue by Jess Bryant was a five star read for me!
Oh, I loved this second chance romance! If you are looking to swoon, this is your book! Another great aspect of this book for me was the groveling the hero had to do. Nick Sloan messed up so bad. He left his true love thinking he could pursue his dreams and not miss her. But when a near fatal shooting happens, Nick realizes just what his dreams really are. But is he too late to fix the damage he caused to Kady’s heart? Kady was devastated by Nick but she is strong enough to not give her heart away so easily again. Especially to Nick. Nick really had to work for her forgiveness. I truly love when a heroine does not give in easily. This book was perfect in that regard.
This author has everything I love in her stories. All the feels, a perfect reading pace and I always stayed engaged in the story from the beginning. Actually, if I had one complaint about this book, it would be that I wanted more. I don’t want to say anything more since this book is short and a quick read. You’ll want to enjoy it all on your own.
Do you love small-town romance with fun, loyal secondary characters? That is another reason you’d love this book. Because this author has such a great talent for storytelling, I remember all her books like I recently read them; Jess Bryant leaves an indelible impression on my heart. Lucky for me there are still a few that I haven’t read yet.
I absolutely recommend this and all the Fate, Texas books in addition to all this author’s works. You won’t be disappointed, I promise!
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it.
My heart be still! What a delightful, short story that will make you believe in second chance love! Nick and Kady were young and in love until one day something changed all that and they parted. Years later, Nick comes back to prove to Kady that they belong together. But had too much time passed? Nick broke Kady’s heart and she swore never to forgive him, but when she sees him for the first time in years, is her heart melting again?
I loved everything about this story. Nick is a man who knows he did wrong and will do anything to prove to Kady that he is here to stay. Kady is a strong woman who isn’t sure she can ever forgive him. But will she? As you read, you just know these two have to end up together, but is it too late? I highly recommend this endearing story about two amazing characters. A definite must read!
Another great read, with lots of chemistry and hotness. This is a well written story and hooked me from the start.This is a quick hot read, with a interesting plot and fantastic characters, great emotion and Loads of steam!
