Rate this book
A second chance for Rose… After making too many mistakes, Rose McClendon returns to Louisiana and finds delicious success when she opens the Magnolia Café. She has a new life, but Rose is missing one thing – someone to share it with. An opportunity Adam can’t pass up… Adam Bryan has a plan for his life, but everything changes when he gains custody of his young sister Daisy. Still, he’s determined to advance his career, and the boss’s daughter could be the perfect person to help him reach his goals. A love worth finding… As Christmas nears, old memories and new attractions intertwine, making Adam doubt what he wants in his life. Perhaps his meddling sister, sugar cookies, and the magic of a holiday festival can convince him what he’s been looking has been under his nose all along. *previously published as Second Chance Rose in Christmas Roses anthology

I unashamedly read, write and love romance books. I adore the weight of a book in hand and the anticipation of a happy ending. I love the journey, the word play and the magic of story. Nothing's better than reading a good book...except writing one. You can learn more about me and my award-winning romances at http://www.liztalleybooks.com

Heartwarming Christmas Story

I really enjoyed Rose and Adam's story. Adam and his little sister Daisy spend many of their mealtimes at the Cafe where Rose works. Since the death of their parents Aran has been sibling as well as the only parent Daisy has. He is determined to make a good life for them and becoming a partner in the construction company he works at is his goal to ensure their future. Along with his wish is his girlfriend who happens to be the owners daughter. Rose on the other hand, just happens to be big just a waitress but the owner of the Magnolia Cafe. It's enjoyable to see how these two fund their way to a happily ever after

This is a sweet Christmas read about Adam and Rose. Adam is a single father to his sister, Daisy. Adam is involved with Bree, his boss’s daughter. Daisy is Adam’s favorite waitress at the Magnolia Cafe. When Daisy goes missing, Bree’s actions speak louder than words, lol. Grab your copy and get ready to enjoy a great holiday read.

A sweet, perfect Christmas story

My first book by this author. Great characters. I loved Adam and Rose (and Daisy). I liked Rose's backstory. A novella, so a quick easy read. Perfect for relaxing, snuggled up with your favorite hot holiday beverage.

Falling

The right girl comes around and just in the nick of time. Falling for a waitress over the bosses daughter is for the best.

Starting her life over again, Rose is now the proud owner of the uber successful, The Magnolia Cafe, and altruistically hires former addicts to give them a second chance as well. She has a crush on Adam, one of her customers, but alas, he is dating Bree, his boss' daughter, while also raising his 9 year old sister, Daisy. Will Rose, Daisy -- and a little holiday magic -- be able to change his mind?

I don't usually enjoy short stories, but this one was so sweet, cheery, and romantic that I couldn't help but smile! It also left me wanting to know more about this couple ...
