SECOND CHANCE HERO
by Kimberly Rednour
(Audible version)
Yes, it’s a second chance and something I’m usually not soooo much into but this book makes a refreshing change. it’s written with heart and soul, the characters are believable, realistic and multi-layered. They make mistakes learn, forgive and try to do better, even when life isn’t a bed of Rose’s but throws a few curveball their way. The thing is, when everything runs smoothly, everyone can shine but it is in the challenging situations in life when true character shows. You don’t always get it right but you do your best and own your actions. You take responsibility. And that’s what these characters have: real character. And it endears them even more to you. I loved it!
Lacey and Zach dated for a couple months in college at the end of their senior year. They both knew it was going to end because Zach was drafted to the MLB and was heading to Florida and Lacey was going to start her internship in New York. They both knew the deal but were still heartbroken over the split. Five years later Lacey is one of the reporters covering Zach’s post game press conference. Now that Zach has seen her again he doesn’t want to let her walk away. He does everything he can to make her see that he is the one for her. But Lacey has a secret that could ruin it all.
I adored every single thing about this book. I personally cannot think of one thing that put me off. It ticked all of my yes please boxes and then some. I loved the flash backs in the beginning of the story. Getting that glimpse into them early on was fun and great for the backstory (instead of just being told). I loved how it all played out – that when Zack learned Lacey’s secret he took a step back to let his feelings run their course. I loved how much they both went all in once they picked back up and I especially when Lacey told Zach he was dumb when the major conflict hit. Her love was perfection and just what he needed. I didn’t really see Zach as a bad boy but he was definitely a Second Chance Hero and man-o-man did I love him. So good. I cannot say how much I loved this one enough. My first by this author but I will binge her backlog now.

Happy reading!
I also read this book which is the first Bad Boy Redemption book. It was a great book. Romantic story showing it is never to late for a second chance at love.
I really love a good second chance romance, and Kimberly Readnour delivers just that in Second Chance Hero. With a love strong enough to last the time and space between them, Zach and Lacey learn that without forgiveness, they will be doomed the second time around too. A definite must read!
Amazing! I don’t normally read sports romances, but this one I really like. I was hooked from the first scene when Lacey and Zach meet again. After 5 years apart they are still drawn together. I enjoyed the sparky and banter between them and I fell in love with both of them. The story is well written with a good plot. It has a few twist, plenty of romance, some humor and surprises that I didn’t want to stop until the last page. I highly recommend. I received this book as a gift and voluntarily give this review.

Seriously need I say more?!? No, not really but I will!! This is my first read by Kimberly Readnour and it definitely won’t be my last!! I couldn’t put this book down! But I found myself doing so anyways because I didn’t want the book to end!
Lacey and Zach knew each other once upon a time. Life has a way of getting in the way as these two know all too well. But there’s this thing called second chances! And boy do they mean everything. This story has some twists and turns but you will fall in love with Lacey, Zach, and company. You’ll be flipping the pages so fast just trying to figure out what happens next!!
There is so much more I can say but I don’t want to give anything away. I was shocked reading and it takes a lot to shock me anymore. Twists and turns you never saw coming will happen. But life and love is all about that, and all about second chances. What will Lacey and Zach do with theirs? Hopefully make the right decision. But I guess you’ll have to read to find out for sure!
