About this ebook

Who said high school love doesn’t last?

Everyone. Or they should if they had any sense. Jane thought she’d seen the last of her no-good, heart-breaking boyfriend years ago when she went off to college...and he broke up with her with a greeting card. But now he’s back, looking sexier than ever, and as much as she tells herself she’s older and wiser, some feelings never burn out.

Chance McGovern is once bitten, twice shy. Getting over a rocky divorce, all he wants is a stable life for him and his son. Moving them to Pineville, Michigan and taking the assistant fire chief job was the first step to getting back to normal.

And then Jane stomps back into his life, his partner in organizing a charity fireman’s ball. Leaving her was one of his biggest regrets. And from the fire in her eyes, she won’t let him forget his teenaged screw-up.

But nothing is impossible in Pineville, not even second chances. With their small town rooting for them, Jane and Chance are fighting against more than just their hearts. But their relationship crashed and burned before. Is their love worth the risk?

He was the jerk that led her on and dumped her, going on to a different state for college and she was the ex that got rejected and spurned on the altar of ambition. Maybe it was his karma but he failed to become the neurosurgeon he wanted to be and impregnated a girl instead and was forced to get married. Years later, divorced and raising a son they meet again. She with a grudge and a chip on her shoulder. There are some instances that were hilarious and some with all the angst of emotional female fury. The author is very good at connecting with the reader, empathize over the character's predicament and issues. Though some interactions were a bit juvenile but it was very comedic. Overall, a very entertaining read.

Oh boy there are plenty of sparks when Chance and Jane meet again after he ripped her heart out and left town all those years ago. The fact the both still have feelings isn't surprising however while Jane tries to stay mad Chance tends to get her fired up which is hilarious for everyone but Jane. This is their second chance at love but I totally get Janes struggle with moving on from how Chance deeply hurt her so Chance has one heck of a job on his hands to show he is worth the risk.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from AuthorsXP and I am voluntarily reviewing it. This is a wonderful start to a series. The story of a second chance with your first love is one that had me laughing out loud so many times that it took a little longer to read! I was completely enthralled with the plot and the characters. Chance moves from California back to Michigan with his young son, Josh, after his divorce. When Chance graduated high school, he left Michigan for college in Cal
