Second Chance Husband (First Time, #3) by Carrie Ann Ryan ~ Book Review and Giveaway

 

The First Time series concludes with an enemies-to-lovers romance that has been a long time coming. August and Paisley finally figure out what they’ve been missing.

The first time I got married, I watched the man I love walk away from me.

The second time around, I’m the one signing the dotted line first—this one a man who I realized I never loved.

Once burned, twice broken, I’m done looking for love.

Only my first ex-husband seems to be everywhere I turn—at my work, with my friends, and eventually…in my bed.

I didn’t mean for it to happen.

Twice.

But I know if I don’t protect my heart, there will be nothing left of me if he walks away again without telling me why he did so in the first place.

I don’t know if I can trust this new version of ourselves or if it’s merely the heat between us striking hot.

After all, second chances only exist in my dreams.

And there’s no such thing as a second chance husband.

4.5 Second Chance Stars

This has been a fun trilogy. I enjoyed getting to know Greer's brothers (Greer's story can be found in Best Friend Temptation) and their kooky parents. In this final installment of the First Time Series, which follows the Cassidy brothers, we have August Cassidy and Piper Cassidy Renee, who were married years ago but sadly ended in divorce. The question has always been why their marriage ended. No one knew, including Piper. August finally lets the truth of the demise of their marriage come out, as well as the fact that he never stopped loving her even though he's been acting as if he hates her since they reconnected when he moved to Denver, where she is currently living.

Piper is what others believe to be a well-put-together businesswoman who is taking on the world. Her business is thriving, and she is a boss for whom employees enjoy working. But there is more to her than meets the eye, and once things start to unravel, my heart truly breaks for her. One thing that can be said about this savvy business woman, when she loves she loves deep and it doesn't matter if your a billionaire or a High School Teacher, she loves the person not the wallet.

Carrie Ann Ryan takes readers on a journey as we watch two people come together again after so much pain and heartache and get what they both need: one another. This story will pull at your heartstrings one minute, have you laughing another, and then want to throw your Kindle across the room a few minutes later. I loved the ride and didn't want it to end.

I listened to the audiobook version, and the narrators, Gregory Salinas and Jo Raylan did a fabulous job bringing August and Piper's story to life. If you listen to audiobooks, I highly recommend this one.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy STEAMY Contemporary Romances, New Adult Romances, second-chance-at-first-love Romances, Family Saga Romances, or Billionaire Romances.

Happy Reading!!!
