Second Chance Bride by Raine English attracted me when I heard about it during a Facebook party and heard that it had a telepathic dog who leads the heroine to her Mr. Right! I love dogs and this book promised me not only the cuteness quotient of a dog but also telepathic one and I knew that I just had to read the book.
The cover is cute and eye catching while the blurb also intrigues and I am sure will be successful in attracting the readers' attention towards this book.
This one was my first book by Raine English and I enjoyed reading her writing. She writes in a simple, no frills style and had me hooked to the story right from the start.
The plot is a simple one and even predictable but despite this, the execution is admirably done that I loved each and every second spent reading this book. The scenic beauty of the place and the scenarios are beautifully brought to life and had me visualizing each and every event in the book like it was happening right in front of me.
The protagonist, Kya is sweet, loyal and an ardent lover of animals. She runs a animal shelter and is about to marry a man she thinks she loves. Her already planned life takes a plunge when she finds Lucky, a telepathic dog who convinces her that her to-be-husband is not the right man for her and when she meets widower, Devon, Lucky is convinced that he is her Mr. Right!
Although Kya and Devon feel sparks fly right from the beginning but still both are holding back due to different reasons. I loved Kya's attempts at trying to please her to-be-groom who is a total jerk and never there for her. Her determination to make her own place inspite of coming from a wealthy family had me admiring her and then I fell in love with Devon, right beside her!
I loved Kya. She is bubbly, loving, loyal and overall a kind person. I also had a laugh at her name "Kya" which if I speak it in my own language, Hindi, it means "What". LOL
Devon is a Finance teacher. He is simple, sincere and a stable man who is still grieving for his dead wife but is so adorably intuitive to Kya's moods and helpful. Their romance built slowly but still felt so real and heartfelt that it had me enjoying each and every scene with them in it.
Lucky is having his own love story with Devon's dog, Daisy and how they brought together Devon and Kya had me smiling and clapping in joy!
All in all, Second Chance Bride is a light, funny, happy, clean romantic and a totally enjoyable read that I absolutely loved reading. 4 out of 5 to it and recommended to all romance lovers. I enjoyed Raine's writing style and will be checking out her other books too. :)

I loved this story. Raine English really can write a great romance story with great characters she creates.
She also loves to add pets into the mix and this has a great pit bull that has something special with the lady, our heroine who rescued him. She owns and runs an animal rescue and she takes this newfound dog in to see if she can find the owner. She takes him home at night and strange things happen. This is a lighthearted story in ways and sad in others but it has a really good outcome.
I hope you read this story as it is just a good story, plus you have to find out what the really good connection is between his rescuer and the Pit Bull. Oh, and yes is has romance a wedding and a special
twist.

A dog with a special gift and a bride to be.
When bride to be Kya Reynolds rescued a dog, she got quite the surprise. Lucky brings Devon Young into her life. Not your ordinary love story. Great short sweet read!

Second Chance Bride kept me enthralled the whole time. This is an awesome story and the dogs play a very special part in it. Very well written. I would recommend this story to anyone who is a dog lover and believes in "Second Chances"! (Wink Wink).

I have really enjoyed several books by this author but this story was different. The story was really good until the dog starting talking to her. I just couldn't get into it from that point on.

A wonderfully sweet small town romance with a quirky touch of paranormal in the form of a telepathic dog. After planning her dream wedding, Kya Reynolds is beginning to have doubts. These doubts she can put off on pre wedding jitters, her attraction to the handsome widower she met in the park, not so much. Will she come to her senses and go after the man of her dreams??
This is a fun story that I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Do you want a clean, sweet, heartwarming romance? Do you like dogs? I highly recommend this short, super sweet, super cute, make you smile. Make you laugh out loud, little jem by Raine English. Well worth the .99 price. I couldn't put it down and finished in a matter of hours. If your feeling down? Had a Bad day? This book is perfect for that.Think Disney's Dog With a Blog meets Hallmark channels My Boyfriends Dogs with a little Must Love Dog's.

Second Chance Bride is a fun novella! Romance is in the air and finding love just might be a walk in the dog park. Kya and Devon, as well as their canine companions, are quite entertaining, as is their love story. Second Chance Bride is a delightful tale, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author!
