From the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Sandi Lynn, comes a story about true love and what’s meant to be…
They say young love isn’t real. It’s only our bodies full of raging hormones, and our minds filled with lust that make us think we are in love. I can tell them that they’re wrong. Young love is real. It can, and it does exist, at least in my seventeen … my seventeen year old life.
My name is Claire Montgomery and I come from a family of snobs. Born into wealth, against my will, my family will do just about anything to uphold the perfect Montgomery name. I ruined that for them the day my car broke down on the side of the road and I met the love of my life, Sam Snow.
Sam is from Santa Ana and I’m from Newport Beach. Even though, I come from a family of wealth, I want nothing to do with any of it. I like the simple things in life, like Sam. My family doesn’t approve of him and they try to keep us apart. The last thing I remember is waking up in a hospital with no memory of my life.
This is my journey after my accident to figure out who I am and who I was. The road to recovery isn’t easy but the one thing that stayed with me after the accident was the soft voice and words that I’d never forget.
“If your love was true and eternal, you will find your way to each other again.”

This is the 4th book I’ve read written by Sandi Lynn; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Such a bittersweet novella, the title tells it all. Claire and Sam have a love that can’t be denied. However, there certainly are people who want that love destroyed. And, one tragic night, circumstances will set the stage for their love to be erased, wiped away, totally forgotten. But can true love, real love, ever be forgotten? Is there something deep within the psyche, the spirit, that remembers?
Possibilities are endless with this type of storyline.
Good second chance story
Betrayal from those closest to you
Memories gone, wiped out.
Hope for getting back what was lost
Social status more important than family/friendship
This is a good story and covers all the bases, but needs better development. It’s just too short to do justice to all the above check marks. More emotion is needed to draw the reader into the pages. I like to feel a story, not just read it. I like to be able to relate to the people, feel their pain and struggles. I like to see real remorse, see people actually realize their wrongs. There were many people here that needed a BIG comeuppance, but, unfortunately we didn’t get to see any of that.

It was a roller coaster ride of emotions from start to finish. Claire and Sam meet as young people that go there own way. Man these characters are engaging and well developed with a strong connection. Like the other readers I hope the author does a followup book. The storyline isn’t long but what there is will grab your attention.

This is the tale of a young couple torn apart by fate. She’s from a well off family & he has a single mum struggling to make ends meet.
Clare’s family doesn’t inform her of the situation in regards to Sam & years later they bump into the other. I can’t say too much as it would give the story away. If you enjoy a YA read then this is the book for you.

2 1/2 stars
I normally like Sandi Lynn’s books, but this one just fell flat.
The storyline had a good chance of being a good book, if it would have been full length and not a novella. It just wasn’t long enough, and given the amount of time to tell Claire and Sam’s story in the detail it really needed. It was too rushed. They meet, fall in love in two dates, it skips ahead two months, events happen, and so forth.
I never really connected with Claire and Sam as a couple since the story was so rushed. They fell insta-love so quickly that their love wasn’t really believable.
It says book 1, but I’m guessing since it was released six years ago that there will not be a book 2.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick novella about insta-love and betrayal.
This is heartbreaking story about Claire and Sam who comes from different sides of the track but fell in love very young. Claire suffers a head injury where she loses her memory but as she regains her memory she never forgot her first and only love Sam.
Sam and Claire 2nd chance is emotional and turns your eyes into magnets because you can’t look away from their story. You will definitely take the alphabet of feelings with this one.
The cover definitely captures the essence of their journey through highs and lows to a life together. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
I loved the book…it was so emotional and heartbreaking. The book showed that true loved surpasses any obstacle.
Great story line, wonderful characters, an all around feel good inspirational romance.The characters are easy to connect with, the chemistry between them is undeniable and their story is a heartwarming romance. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I will definitely be looking for more from her.
