A Second Chance With You

by Burgundy C. Johnson

Lost time and distance kept them apart. Can a chance encounter bring them back together?

Nia seems to have it all—great friends, a supportive family, and a successful marketing firm. But as she celebrates her 33rd birthday, she can’t shake the feeling that something’s missing—love.

That night, she makes herself a it’s time to find her Mr. Forever.

In the middle of yet another failed date, she bumps into the one man she never thought she'd see again. The encounter awakens long-buried memories she’s tried to forget. But the universe seems to have other plans.

Chance never stopped thinking about Nia. On a business trip to Baltimore, she’s the first person on his mind. Their unexpected reunion stirs up unresolved feelings and deep regret over how things ended. This time, he’s ready to fight for what they have. But when he notices Nia’s hesitation, he wonders—will history repeat itself, or can they finally get it right?

Will she take the leap and fight for a second chance? And could he be the Mr. Forever she’s been waiting for all along?

This wasn’t my favorite. Nia was written in such a way that annoyed me. There was something there and it could have made for a good angsty read, but I couldn’t get to it so I was left unsatisfied. I only finished it because I was too far in to turn back.

Note: I no longer rate novellas

Good Read

I love second chance love and I enjoyed reading A Second Chance with You. This was the first book I have read by this author. The character development was good and their chemistry was hot.

like a 3.5 or 3.75. Was a sweet and spicy little novella. had some not great communication moments, but was decent for an under 200 page book.
