… risking my heart for my dream.
I empty my bank account to buy a one-way ticket to Lover’s Hideaway. A private island owned partly by my ex–Christopher Vanderbilt.
I put everything on the line, hoping he still has a soft place in his heart for me, enough to help me save my company–the one that tore us apart.
The odds are in my favor. My business proposal seeps out my brain in a drunken … proposal seeps out my brain in a drunken haze. I’d forgotten that we feel like this.
Raw. Combustible. Destined.
But Chris isn’t the man I knew. He’s harder, colder, and with a shadow of hate in his eyes. He demands my hand for his help and I hate wasting my last chance on him.
What choice do I have? Either pretend to be his wife for a week or watch my dream die.
I accept, praying he never discovers the truth.

This was a quick read of 2nd chance. I wish it was a bit longer but I enjoyed them having a chance to make up for lost time and getting past the barriers. I think a little more time could have been spent on that because it was so juicy.

Chris and Renee were in love until she ghosted him 5 years ago with no explanation. Now she’s back and needs his help. Will Chris be able to forgive her? Can Renee stand up to the person that cost them their happiness 5 years ago? This short story doesn’t get to focus on all the familial relationships involved but is an emotional look at 2 people kept apart by secrets, lies and jealousy. Told in alternating POV it gives an in depth understanding of the main character’s motivations and actions. “Resort to Love” is a solid second chance romance that inspires forgiveness, hope and love.

Fascinating second chance romance. Both Chris & Renee are very determined to not be enticed or rekindle but they forget about the power of proximity and attraction. Love is in the air at this resort, entertaining, emotional and steamy novella.

I really loved this second chance novella between Christopher and Renee (Chris and Nay).
Chris and Nay come from the same small town but never really knew each other until college where they fell in love. But suddenly Nay and her family move away and she ghosts Chris for 5 years.
After 5 years Nay suddenly turns up at “Lover’s hideaway” the resort Chris manages and owns to tell him the truth about why she suddenly disappeared from his life. They figure out that there is a lot of family secrets, anger and jealousy that kept them apart. But are they able to find back to their previous happiness when there are people intent to keep them apart? And can Chris relinquish all his anger toward Nay to give her a second chance?
I really loved their relationship even though they have many problems standing in their way. They are both very strong people who fight for what they want and owns up to their faults when they make them. Their love for each other is so strong and it is a love that lasts a lifetime.
The story has great side characters and plot lines but I needed some more background on her family and her relationship with her brother! It was insinuated that it was strained but suddenly they talked and they had a great relationship. There were some things that could have been elaborated and I needed the book to be longer;)!
I can definitely recommend this book if you like romance, drama, family secrets, beautiful environment, amazing characters and an fantastic love story.

This was a great story. It’s a second chance romance where Chris has to decide if he wants to hear Renee’s side of the story. It’s heartwarming and heartbreaking at times but through it all, you can feel the love Chris and Renee have for each other. Once the truth is revealed, you understand so much of what Renee had to lose.

This was a quick enjoyable story to read. The characters were vulnerable, believable, and so real. I loved how the family interacted with each other, and how outside influencers were written into the story. This was definitely a second chance at happy ever after after miscommunications. I will definitely read other stories by this author.
