Second Chance with my Forbidden Love

by Miranda Stone

After fifteen years, I return home with a heavy heart, burdened by regrets over the love I left behind.

When my car breaks down, I discover that the only mechanic on the island who can work on a BMW is my childhood sweetheart.

We were torn apart by my domineering parents, who deemed him unworthy of their daughter.

Sent to Harvard to pursue a prestigious law career, I obediently followed my father's footsteps, leaving Jordan behind.

But our unexpected reunion reignites a passion we thought long extinguished, and we find ourselves facing the same obstacles from our youth.

As my father threatens to disinherit me once more, I must choose between my family's expectations and the man I love.

With Jordan's surprise inheritance and my newfound independence, we embark on a journey to navigate the turbulent waters ahead.

Will we overcome the barriers of wealth and class to find true love and our happily ever after? Only time will tell.

This is the second book by Miranda Stone that I have read, and once again, it does not disappoint! Charlotte and Jordan were high school sweethearts in Seabreeze Island, Florida. Charlotte has always tried to live up to her parent’s expectations, and Jordan felt like he was never enough for her. Charlotte hurt him badly when she left to work in a big law firm in NYC. Charlotte finds herself back in Seabreeze with her car in need of repair. Jordan is now running his dad’s auto repair shop, so seeing each other is inevitable. Jordan has a son, Cody, who Charlotte can’t help but take a liking to. Charlotte comes to realize that she wants Jordan and Cody in her life, but she is terrified to leave her current life (although it’s one that she’s not particularly happy with). Jordan’s first love is art, and that was because of Charlotte, who taught him about passion and inspiration. Love was lost and now seems completely unattainable. However, Jordan wonders if Charlotte misses their love like he does. Is Jordan’s current dream for Charlotte also her dream? This is a must read to find out if they get their happily-ever-after! I received a copy of this from the author for my voluntary review.

Second Chance With My Forbidden Love is the heartfelt second Chance At love story between Jordan and Charlotte who grew up together and had a loving relationship until she left for college to become a corporate attorney and left Jordan brokenhearted. She returns years later to find Jordan working in his father’s garage and a single widowed parent of a charming ten year old son, Cody. Charlotte had come back to her hometown to visit her dysfunctional parents but finds she and Jordan still have strong feelings for one another. Their heartfelt romance has great characters, class discrimination, steamy chemistry, and the choice between career or true love. I highly recommend this well written romance by Miranda Stone.
I received a free arc copy by the author and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The Circle of Love Continues

Charolette and Jordan met in middle school, and became best friends. Staying together through puberty and the teen years the friendship became an everlasting love. Charolette basically was forced to become a lawyer due to her uppity parents demands, not being able to deny thier force. As they grew she had a deep desire to protect the innocent from the rich and powerful like her parents. It ripped emotionally a part of each of thier hearts out when she went to New York for school and work. Returning home after years of pestering by her mother her car breaks down and the only garage qualified to repair it is Jordan's. When they meet again the sparks fly, but whether they are good or not has to play out, especially now that Jordan has a son. You can't help but be engrossed turning pages to see what happens next.

Charlotte is given her second chance to choose her man instead of paying heed to her parents. Does she take it and what exactly is at stake? One thing she knows she can’t afford to lose again is her heart…. Jordan hails from a different class and culture but when Charlotte was forced years ago , it broke her heart. This time around he’s a single father who has more at stake than his own heart….. beautiful writing , immersive, compelling story that I couldn’t put down. I read an advance of this great book and I’m leaving my review voluntarily in my own words

Miranda Stone has given us an interesting romance. Thwarted young love, controlling parents, successful NYC attorney, single dad, auto repair shop, loving father and a cute 10 year old. This story will keep you reading hoping Jessica and Jordan find a solution, but first she must find her backbone. I really enjoyed this book.

Second Chance with My Forbidden Love

This is a pleasant little story.
Charlotte’s parents convinced her to leave her first love behind and go to law school in New York.
A return home to visit her parents means seeing Jordan again.

[LaRae · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed this second chance story! It flowed nicely and kept my interest. After some meddling and controlling parents tried to mess things up twice I enjoyed seeing how it ended.
