Second Chance : A Lesbian Romance
Christa's beloved father died when she was just 14 years old. Now an adult, she plays the field, never letting anyone get too close. Then she meets just-out-of-the-closet Keri, and the sparks fly. As Christa's barriers come crashing down, she is sure she has found happily ever after.
Flash forward 10 years. Keri has abruptly ended their relationship, kicking Christa out of their home in Dallas. Licking her wounds, Christa has moved back to Kansas City to be near her mother. She works in an indie bookstore by day and seduces married women by night. Never, she swears, will she ever again make herself so vulnerable.
But Christa's world turns upside down when Keri also returns to KC for a job. Keri has a completely different recollection of the events leading up to their breakup, and she wants to give their relationship a second chance.
Christa isn't buying any of it. Having her heart ripped out of her chest and stomped on once was more than enough. Besides, she is slowly starting to develop feelings for Susan, one of the married women she dates.
But Christa can't deny the earthquake of desire that shakes her to her very core every time she sees Keri. She wants to kiss her, touch her, hold her, and re-explore every inch of her body.
Little does Christa realize that the white-hot passion they share isn't enough to mend their tattered relationship. That will require patience, communication, and--hardest for both of them--trust.

It was ok, but if I had known that this book had a sequel I wouldn't have read it.
I am not particularly fond of authors who make me like a character and they killed immediately so they can have a sequel. Susan could have had another book with another person.

Insightful!
This is a well written tale about getting a second chance with the love of your life. It is also the story of the loss of dear friends. Life isn't always fair, but we always have the choice of how we react to what life throws at us. This book has lessons we can all learn from. It belongs on your must-read list.

Awesome Start to a Series!
A really great book about a relationship between two women, both bearing the scars from their earlier days together & realizing what really is important in this life— a love in each other that overcomes & survives beyond death.

A blend of chaos and conflict well balanced
I really liked the chemistry of all the characters. The subplots reinforced the tales message making the overall feeling of the story victorious. Second chances offers a peek into everyone's unsettled heart and proves beyond a doubt that our choices will make or break us. Kudos.

Liked it!
Good story! I enjoyed this story very much. Very poignant story of the owners of the bookstore and their 60 year old love story. Christa's story with Keri was equally poignant. Well done!
