Read And Wright A Second Chance Romance – Try Again Series, Book 3, Audiobook Online By: Marla Holt
Colleen Hawthorne does everything right. She has a reasonable degree, a career in Denver, and an apartment downtown. She calls her parents once a week and visits for Christmas.
So when he lost his job and was forced to move back home to Goodland, Kansas, Colleen felt like a failure. Her mother criticized her weight for only making it worse. Colleen wants to curl up in bed with the romance novels she enjoys reading – and occasionally writing – but she has to have a plan first. She’s going to take the world of freelance marketing by storm and nothing can stop her.
Maybe except for the man who broke her heart when she was 18.
Court Wright has the weight of the world on her shoulders. He’s a single father, his mother is battling cancer and his gym business is struggling. Court barely turned on the lights when Colleen returned to his life, but despite everything, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. She wanted nothing to do with him, so Court made a deal with Colleen: he would become her personal trainer in exchange for her marketing expertise, just to keep her close. Will their bargain pay off?
This romantic second chance isn’t all met with cute and roses. This book shows that progress and forgiveness are difficult. Know what else is difficult? Court Body. He has chest muscles and a heart. I love him and Colleen’s dynamic, the way he teases her loving a softer version of herself.
I thought I figured this story out pretty early on but I was wrong. The twists and turns in Court and Colleen’s love story are heartbreaking, and their journey back together is equally painful. I won’t spoil anything, but if you like deep, real characters and dramatic, emotional second-chance romances, this is the book for you.
