THAT SECOND CHANCE (Getting Lucky #1)


It was supposed to be an innocent night, celebrating my brother’s birthday. Nothing was supposed to go wrong. We’d vowed to be on our best behavior after all . . .

But it only took one rowdy night with my brothers to flip my world upside down. One unlucky encounter saddled us with a family curse and the promise of doomed relationships. I laughed it off immediately. “Yeah, right,” I thought. “A love curse. Ha!”

Boy, was I wrong.

Word spreads quickly in a town like mine; rumors about that night soon made us the most eligible yet untouchable bachelors in Port Snow, Maine. As a subject of endless gossip and speculation, I could kiss my dating life goodbye.

It would have stayed that way if Ren Winters, the new girl in town, hadn’t crashed into my life. Brave, beautiful, and smart—her vivacious thirst for a fresh start has given me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can have one too.

Everyone wishes for that second chance . . . but could this really be mine?


 

"Those who belittle and make others feel worse will fell the ungodly wrath of my curse." Snapping her head forward. she eerily points to all of us, and we draw close together as the wind blasts us from behind. "Listen to me, the words I have spoken." Her voice grows stronger, louder, more sinister. "From this day on, your love will be broken. It isn't until your minds have matured that the weight of this curse will forever be cursed."

 


 
"You make everything sound so magical." -Ren
 


 

R E V I E W


This is not my first read by the author & I have to say that I dramatically almost cried when NetGallery did not approve my request, BUT JENNY in for the request. It was a moment when it downloaded on my kindle! Alright all that aside, I was excited to read this! If I would have known how flipping awesome and amazing this book was, I would have kicked and screamed earlier! I can't express enough at how much I enjoyed this read!!


The beginning stars of FUN, laughter, joy and celebration. After all the brothers are in New Orleans, celebrating the last brother to turn 21. All fun and games until you land in the hands of a palm reader (no pun intended). After that, all you can do it try and move on from everything. So beware of your heart at the beginning.


Now we get to my favorite part of the book, I kid you not. Ren is the ULTIMATE HEROINE! This part involves a suicidal Moose, one sexy volunteer firefighter (Griffin), a jack-in-the-box heroine & the hero who carries her (almost throwing his back out) and saving the day by getting her a shirt, which she accept in the best hysteria possible. You will seriously love this scene!!


When Ren finally gets down to going to her new place, new town, new START, she get's wit of the Knightly curse. Who believes in those anyways!

Then this: Should I thank him for his services? Ask him out? See if he wants to be my Tarzanlike nurse?

Reading this is like living it, that's how much the words flow and you feel like you're in the story! What I love most about Ren is that she is grabbing life by the horns. The needs and excitement of starting over, it's catchy! She is also the new Algebra teacher! And when Ren finds herself seeing a Griffin look-alike but with different hair all around the town especially places like IN HER LIFE. She is thrown back!


Griffin is the oldest brother who works full time at the Landing a place his family own & volunteers as a firefighter. I am going to give you a sec here...............aaaand we are back. Okay so, not only is he sweet by working with his family, taking care of his brothers and everyone around him, but he also actually saves lives too. What makes my heart hurt for him is that, in spite of all, he carried the biggest burden on his shoulders. The pain unimaginable *sigh*


"Cupid hit my little brother with a giant moose. Oh, this is so wonderful."


Back to new beginning and living. Ren jumps right in, I mean it isn't that big and so she doesn't have a big pond to swim in, but something about Griffin pulls at her heart strings. She just has to learn to not say something stupid every time they converse. There has to be a reason he is always so busy, so many things to do...sadly if she only knew that those things is what helps him not remember or go home to an empty lonely and silent home. *my heart* but these two are so sweet and cute together, the chemistry is off the charts...gah I loved all the side characters too but my favorite had to be the hero and heroine! The story line is SO GOOD GUYS! Every chapter, words just flow!! You'll see when you read it. I look forward to more in the series!! After-all there is 4 brothers and a sister!! (I might be looking forward to Rogan's story...yes/no? p.s. beware SLOW BURN pain, good kind, but I was on my toes glaring at the screen...do it...do it...! Again, the good kind!!


Sorry this ran a little long but I immensely enjoyed this story & will be getting a paperback so I can re-read!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! TOP 2019 M U S T - R E A D !
