Second Chance Magic is full of heart and everything I love in a paranormal tale. Great friends, second chances, and physic powers… what’s not to love?
Second Chance Magic is an emotionally charged ride full of magic, romance, and real friendships. I loved it! Really great start to a new series. Can’t wait for the next book.
Delightfully heartfelt and filled with emotion. Psychic powers, newly discovered magic, and a troublesome ex who comes back from the grave. Michelle M. Pillow delivers a wonderfully humorous start to a new paranormal women’s fiction romance series.
Michelle M. Pillow’s Second Chance Magic is full of delicious secrets! What’s not a secret is how much you’re going to love this book and this heroine. I’ll take book two now!
“Michelle M. Pillow’s Second Chance Magic proves that sometimes all it takes to get a second chance after a massive betrayal, is a little luck, a lot of magic, and the help of your best friends.”
At her husband’s funeral, Lorna discovers he had lied to her for 20 years, the man she had married and had 3 children with, was a bigamist. When his legal wife takes everything from Lorna, she flees to a coastal town and befriends 2 women, Heather and Vivien. Each of them with unanswered questions and pain at the loss of a loved one. Heather’s ancestry is rife with stories of the supernatural and magic but all discard it as fancy. Until each of the women find rings that change their lives forever. It was thrilling to read how they bumble through trying to use their newfound powers and in a quest for answers, unleashed something into their world. I loved how sceptical William is, until he can deny it no longer. And the relationship between Lorna and William tender and believable. A thriller, a mystery and magic, what more is to come? I love the unexpected events and really look forward to reading Heather and Vivien’s stories.
This is a wonderful second chance/paranormal romance.. I liked it very much! It is sassy, funny, and emotional.. Really cute characters!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Loved it in both ebook and audiobook. Wanted to Thank the Mississippi Arts Commission for my free audiobook. Michelle always has fantastic stories. . .
This was the first book I have ever read by this author, and I’m glad I did! It had just enough mystery and spookiness to keep my attention, but not be overdone. Beyond that, it was a nice reminder that middle aged women can still have fun, be adventurous, and find their place in life. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!
Lorna is a widow and ends up in a bad place. It takes some time but Lorna starts building a life of her own without her children and being her own person again. She makes some new friends and then they realize that they have more in common than they thought. Things start happening to them and they are trying to figure out what’s happening. William is a man that Lorna is drawn to but with everything she’s been through she’s a little gun shy when it comes to men. Can he show her that he is the one for her? Will they figure out why they have powers?
This is an amazing story about starting over and friendship. Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
Lorna was widowed and humiliated at the funeral. A new town and life are in order. Three years have passed since then and weird stuff starts happening around her job. Why is Heather saying “Hi” to an empty chair?
Thank you Mississippi Arts Commission for my book.
This book mainly revolves around Lorna but it is so much more! Yes, she had a rough start in the very beginning BUT that made her stronger & who she is during her “midlife.”
SPOILERS AHEAD:
Fast forward 3 years from the beginning & she lands in Freewild Cove. It changes her life forever, in a very good way. She becomes besties with Heather & Vivian. Vivian is a hoot by the way. She even has some steamy bits with William, Heather’s brother. The ladies each find the same type of object that binds them in a way plus Heather & William have a family secret that comes out. Heather embraces it but William completely denies it until……………you have to read to find out the rest.
This book has so much to offer. Intrigue, humor, magic, etc. A definite must!
This is the first book in the Order of Magic Series, a Paranormal Romance Women’s Fiction Novel. Wow! I loved it! Lorna’s story is captivating! Mom of three, betrayed by her late husband, she is a wonderful character, strong, and smart. William is handsome, supportive, and caring. They share an instant attraction, and an undeniable chemistry. Vivien and Heather (William’s sister) are amazing friends, and wonderful supporting characters. Lorna and her two new friends are gifted with psychic abilities. The storyline is original, intricate, and enthralling, filled with mystery, suspense, and some scary scenes. Impossible to put it down! Rebecca Cook did a wonderful job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to Third Time’s a Charm, Vivien’s story, the second book in the Series. If you like Paranormal Romance, and Women’s Fiction, this series is definitely for you! I enjoyed it, and I HIGHLY recommend it.
After her husband dies and his secrets start to come out, Lorna decides to start her life over in a different town. She finds two friends, Heather And Vivian and a new romance, Will. I can’t imagine losing everything after the horrible loss and humiliation she suffers. The 3 friends were destined to find each other, they make a great trio. They are like the kind of friends you always wanna hang out with. When Lorna finds her place in this new world it makes you proud that she was strong enough to pick herself up and move on. This book is worth every penny you spend on it. I liked hearing about the developing friendships and budding romance. Lorna is a relatable character, well written. I highly recommend this book. Dive in and enjoy the ride with Lorna, Heather and Vivian. This is only the beginning.
I loved this book in the first chapter. The characters are amazingly written. The story line is funny with a hint of danger and the unknown. I never wanted it to end. I wanted to be a fourth in this friendship book. An excellent paranormal read with women over 40 dealing with real life crap. Can not wait for the next book. Oh and no cliffhanger!!!
Lorna has had a pretty good life. Or so she thought. He husband passes away and then SHOOT hits the fan. To move away and start over seems like a good idea. RIGHT?
New town, New job, New friends, New Man? Lorna has to reinvent her life now. She meets some outstanding people. She learns things are not always what they seem and Witches are real.
I thought this book was amazing. It really scared me in some parts. Not many books keep me scared. I think Lorna has joined the right town to help overcome her grief about her husband. This book shows that friends can be made at any stage in life.
You are going to want to read this book. It is a powerful story about woman over 40 who have not let age slow them down. They are tired of people looking at them like they are old and useless. This author is apart of the PWF movement. Pick up her book today.
A second chance at love comes for a woman in her 40 after her husband dies and she decides to leave it all behind for a new start. Being made a laughing stock at her husbands funeral in front of her kids has a way of turning you of men. Unless it’s her boss/landlords handsome brother. The romance takes a back seat to the new found magic she finds herself with after putting on a ring as well as the friends she has made since moving. It’s got some action and paranormal elements as well as being romantic and funny. It was a good start to a series with promise and I’m looking forward to reading the next one.
Michelle M. Pillow you have a new fan! Loved this book! Can’t believe I had never read anything by this Author before, I have been missing out! If you haven’t read her yet, you are missing out! All I can say is WOW! I have been intrigued by this PWF: Paranormal Women’s Fiction, Heroines 40+ showing you life does NOT end after, 40, after divorce, after loss… & though we made need eye cream, we are a forced to be reckoned with! And, as soon as I read the blurb, I knew I had to read this. I was NOT disappointed! Loved the characters, Lorna dealing with a painful past experience, crosses paths with 2 women who are much like her self… and they show each other that in the end what you need is great friends, a couple bottles of wine & a hot guy can’t hurt. What I love about this book is that even if you can’t relate to a lying ex, empty nest or having difficulty trusting (which I totally can!), it does touch home with the struggles we deal with NOT being 20 anymore, finding that it’s okay. The inner monologue Lorna has, are the talks we have all had with ourselves. And the need for a strong team by your side, because with them you can get though anything! Can’t wait to read book 2 in the series & the other series by this Awesome author.
