About the author

New Zealand writer. Giving writing a go after a very long break. Letting my imagination run free after so long is a bit scary, but here goes!

I can usually be found at my blog, on Twitter or on Facebook. Come and chat! I love stories about real people, with a bit of drama and sometimes a touch of spice. My stories are usually based in little old NZ. :)

Reviews

I believe this book is worth the time to read. This book shows the journey of two lonely souls that shows how they are perfectly matched even though The Hero is about 20 years older than the Heroine.
I loved the scenes where heroine's past explained events the precede book 1. Book 1 Another Chance bits and pieces the important parts are shown here as well. I recommend that the reader read part one( Cassie and Patrick's story) to understand and fall in love with them as well.

Warning there are extreme alcohol abuse scenes.

Another great read

Taking Chance is the story of Lauren and Ethan who we first met in book one.

We get more background on Lauren and her relationship with her brother Mark.

We also learn just how much Ethan hurts from his previous marriage
