I really liked this story. The characters are loveable and original. There are plot twists and suprises. I would recommend this book. I would have given it 5 stars but the unnecessary language detracted from this beautiful story. This book was provided by the author for me to read. I voluntarily am reviewing it.
This gem caught my eye with this being first time in reading anything from this author. Two characters that are looking for different but in not the same way but similar. Cade is given his chance in helping a football program from his earlier years. Good advice for alot of us can he stop living in the past for a future? Tess has a heart bigger than her but she usually forgets her or hides her inner self. Her brothers though give her a opportunity to finally come out of that shell but can she? These were questions this one answered and you kept turning those pages to find them. Expectations were one thing but what really happens is what will be the clincher.
What can I say about this book. Well I loved the characters and their relationships. I love that the main character reminded me of my favorite tv show character from Bones, Dr. Temperance Brennan. Tess is scary smart and doesn’t recognize as many social situations as she would like. But that I think makes you like her more. She is a strong and independent woman and it shows many ways in this book which is probably another reason why I liked it so much. Girl power! Cade is a guy who could have gone to the big time playing football but chose to serve his country instead. He is full of honor in his career in the military but when that comes to an end he finds a new job where he used to play football in college. The job is not a done deal, which makes it very worth the read. The plot of the story is so good, and I love the addition of Tess’s competition, its super cool and brings more depth to her character. The ending is sweet and satisfying. I closed my tablet with a smile on my face.
Another new to me author that I found that I am loving! The story itself was really great but I really like the main characters, Tess and Cade. Tess is a genius veterinarian who is a contestant on American Ninja Warrior, how baddass is that! And Cade a former football star, a retired military man who loves dogs, talk about swoon-worthy!
I really had no complaints on this book at all, the story was engaging, kept my interest the whole time, I actually could not put it down. The spark between these two was sweet and pretty sexy. I really liked the character growth of both Tess and Cade. By the end both became stronger because of their relationship.
I am really looking forward the the next books in this series. The secondary characters were really fun!
I received a complimentary copy of Second Chance Option from Netgalley, all opinions are my own. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review this book.
