Sometimes love makes plans for you while you’re busy making plans of your own…
Finding myself over thirty and divorced, living in the same small town where I grew up, was not exactly the fast track to personal success. So I took action.
I landed a job with a bigger practice in a big city where I’d find more opportunities at work, and hopefully in my social life. I was ready to move on.
… work, and hopefully in my social life. I was ready to move on.
But when Cormac Whitewood and his adorable daughters came into my life, suddenly my big plans didn’t seem so shiny and exciting. Suddenly, I was finding myself drawn to the lonely widower, wishing for more time with him.
The thing is, Cormac made it clear he wasn’t over his late wife—and I’d never force my way into someone else’s family. Besides, I’d already made my plans.
So why do they feel so wrong?
Second Chance Spring is a full-length novel with an HEA about second chances, spring, and taxidermy. Okay, not really. It’s about the plans life makes for us while we’re busy making plans for ourselves, and it’s full of snort laughs, touching moments, cake, and maybe a kangaroo or two.

Really good story and characters, sweet and uplifting story.
That’s it, I’m moving to Singletree because I could have one hell of a tea party with Taylor, Maddie, and their crew of taxidermy animals. Plus what better way to watch Cormac and Paige each get their second chance at love. And now I want cake.
Not much of a story. Actually fell apart mid way as there was no resolution as to why his taxidermist client was mentioned. She’s a small town doctor looking for a change. He’s a widower with a little girl. They are neighbors and they fall for each other but she has plans to move away. Meh
I enjoyed it so much, I bought the whole series.
The book seem to be very funny at times especially at the end.
I loved the story, it was great but I hated the four letter word and it was used sooo often. It didn’t even need to be in this book!
Very sweet, touching story. Loved it!!!
The 2nd half of the book was almost as though someone else was writing it. It contained coarse language. It also had some steamy parts which i just skipped over.
Made me laugh… I doTn’t like taxidermy
Very interesting perspective on living in a small town on East Coast. Really enjoyed the characters and their issues, but lead female does not sound like a doctor. Not that educated. Made me laugh often. Great portrayal of children’s issues with loss of mom. The taxidermy and more and more inappropriate stuffed rare animals for children was unneeded and inappropriate.
Wonderful and realistic characters with family interactions that are totally believable and yet entertaining.
I loved this story. Cormac and Paige are two individuals who have suffered lost. For Cormac he lost his wife to death while Paige lost her husband to divorce. Both are trying to acclimate themselves to being without significant others but Cormac has two daughters who miss their mother. His connection to Paige is inspired by her inner beauty and how she goes about life challenges. Can Cormac and Paige find common ground and build a foundation that leads to a happily ever after for them?
The struggle is real for these two. Paige is looking to move because she want to improve her life in the big city. Cormac is still haunted by his deceased wife and is at a standstill with his life. They meet and feel the spark but each is nervous because of all the previous stuff. This has some cute elements that involve taxidermy and exotic animals that I laughed at more than once.
Secondary characters are lovely. Of course the children are there and add some fun and anguish to the story. Lottie was almost my favorite. She seemed so mom-ish that I adored her and all that she does for the town.
I was anxious to listen to this because I liked Cormac in Shaking the Sleigh and wanted more from him and his HEA. I enjoyed it and liked seeing each MC come to their senses. His grand gesture was great! I did listen tor his on audio. The narrators did a good job. I wish Robyn Verne brought a little more “life” to Paige.
Loved this!!
This story was sweet, it was sexy, and all kinds of heart-warming!
You know those small-town romance books that have you wanting to pack up right now and move to those small towns? Well this is one of those books! I love this series and the town of Singletree it’s set in.
Cormac, a widower with two young daughters, feels guilty for noticing the gorgeous woman across the street. He feels bad for wanting to move on and getting back to being his old self. His main goal is to keep his daughters happy, no matter what. Like getting them a dog that they really really want. Even if it takes sneezing like crazy through his dog allergies. That’s what’s great father he is.
The gorgeous woman across the street? Her name is Paige. She’s a general practitioner in Singletree and has accepted another job in Baltimore, over two hours away. So a relationship is out of the question. Right?
Cormac & Paige have some serious chemistry when they’re together. It was so hot, I could feel it sizzling on the pages, with their heated looks and stolen glances. I couldn’t get enough of these two together.
Watching their relationship grow, seeing his daughters adjust, and feeling their love get stronger was a beautiful and touching experience. I just wanted to hug them all! Even the dogs!
Second Chance Spring has a bunch of small town fun with plenty of heart, cute smiling dogs, and a very romantic cake walk interruption that made my heart go pitter patter.
Have you read the other books in this series? If yes, then read this book! If no, then read this book! This is a stand alone so the other books aren’t necessary to enjoy this one.
I really wanted Cormac to find happiness after reading about him in Sleighed It. I am so glad he got his HEA. I could really feel the depth of his grief, his exhaustion being a single dad, his loneliness as a man, and his guilt when he considers moving on. Paige is experiencing her own loneliness and when they finally begin to notice each other through a series of encounters, sparks fly. The two little girls are adorable, and they are also grieving the heartbreaking loss of their mom. The way taxidermy figures in the story is an interesting twist many will find hilarious. The dogs, Bobo and Luke, are vital to the story and are solid characters in their own right. I really enjoyed this, and I can’t wait to read more about the small town of Singletree.
Cormac and Paige
Cormac: single Dad
Paige: Single Doc
I truly loved this story. The entire time I read I had a smile on my face. I just knew they would be connected in such a way they would just have to fall in love. I just kept reading and falling in love with them as they were each other. So much of this story line could be a true life story and that had me feeling so connected. Fantastic main characters and side characters as well. Highly recommend.
Book 4 in the Singletree series and it was a great addition. Love second chance with a mix of single parent romances and this was so good. So hard to put down. Loved Paige and Cormac so much. They were both dealing with losses in their lives but one of them is not quite ready to move on. Will they be able to find their happy ever after together?
Another sweet romance from Delancey Stewart. Cormac is a single father with two girls trying to figure out life in a small town. Paige is a doctor, searching for a future. Small towns have a way of bringing people together and Singletree is no different. These two had a lot to overcome but it was an exciting ride, full of exotic taxidermy, allergy shots and tons of cake. Lemon cake equals love, after all
Cormac is just trying to get by day by day with his two daughters after his wife unexpectedly passed away. His daughters beg him for a dog which he accidentally agrees to and when they go to pick a dog he runs into his beautifully sexy neighbour Paige. Cormac’s allergies flare up once they bring Luke home which sends him to the medical clinic where Dr. Paige works. After seeing how bad Cormac’s allergies are, Paige offers to help with Luke while Cormac lets the allergy shots start to work but when Cormac’s daughter Taylor voices her opinion of Paige everything nose dives.
Second Chance Spring is a second chance small-town romance which is told from the first-person point of view and can be read as a stand-alone or as the fourth book in the Singletree series. The book plays with your emotions, will have you rooting for Cormac and Paige in both of their second chances of love, wanting to move to Singletree and want cake! This was my first book in the Singletree series and I was able to enjoy the book without worrying about missing the rest of the series which I am looking forward to going back to and reading.

I was so excited to read this book! Delancey Stewart brings us back to Singletree with book number four of the series, “Second Chance Spring”. This author is one that I read every chance I get and this book didn’t disappoint.
This story’s main characters are Cormac and Paige. Paige is a divorced doctor living in the small town she grew up in but she can’t help feeling like she’s missing something from her life. She begins to look outside her small town to see if she can find it. Cormac is a widower and father of two young girls. He lives and works in the small town of Singletree as an accountant. His wife passed away suddenly a few years ago and he’s just starting to wake up from his grief. These two characters are well written and realistic. The storyline is entertaining and filled with amusing interactions, secondary characters, taxidermy as well as some drama.
Five out of five enthusiastic stars! I can’t recommend this book and author enough.
This is another winner from Delancey Stewart. Widower Cormac is living a quiet life with his two little girls, he is so wrapped up in being a father and just getting through the day that he has lost the man he used to be. Divorced doctor Paige is looking to leave her small town in hopes of finding the excitement and love she longs for. Cormac and Paige meet and form a friendship and start a relationship. However, both are afraid of being hurt and that impedes their path to love.
This story has a lot of heart and also loads of humor with cameos from favorite characters from previous books. It can be read as a standalone even though it is the fourth book in the Singletree series.
