Holidays in Balsam Ridge #3

The Coach's Second Chance Thanksgiving

Rate this book
When I left Balsam Ridge for a career in Seattle, I thought I was chasing everything I’d ever wanted. But when Thanksgiving brought me back to the small town I’d left behind, I found myself tangled in a scheme with the one person I’d tried my hardest to forget—Noah Bennett, the town’s once-troubled “bad boy” turned local hero.

What started as a fake relationship to get our families off our backs quickly became something more, stirring up feelings I thought I’d buried. I never expected the boy who was off-limits to be the man who feels like home. But just when I started to believe we could be something real, our secret came crashing down, leaving me with two go back to my safe but lonely life in Seattle or take the biggest risk of all and finally let myself belong.

Welcome to Balsam Ridge—a cozy small town where the fall colors are vibrant, the community is close-knit, and love can blossom when you least expect it. Here, everyone looks out for each other, and second chances are always just around the corner.

The Coach’s Second Chance Thanksgiving is a sweet and clean short romantic novella.

THis is book 3 of Holidays in Balsam Ridge. A second chance of love for these wonderful characters that you knew it would happen even if they got together for a fake boyfriend and girlfriend to keep their familied off their backs. Feeling slid right in and they don't know what will happen especially with Hanna. It was a great story, and you are going to love it and the whole series.

Sweet romance.

This is a nice, sweet, fake dating romance. It is a quick read. I liked the family in this story and that it takes place at Thanksgiving.
