The Second Time Around
Chayton "Falcon" Baker thought his life was settled. Leaving the reservation, he was finally going to establish himself to everyone back home. He would show them that he was just as worthy of certain rewards as anyone and he would prove it to her, even if she’d never know. His newest event, a benefit for the widows and children of fallen heroes, had all the makings of a success. If he could get it off the ground without a hitch.
He was right on track. Then she showed up and turned his life upside down.
Jasmine was happy with how her life had turned out. Sure, she had no steady boyfriend, hadn't had one in months, but she wasn't worried. After all, she still had her fantasy life. So what if her most erotic dreams featured a man she hadn't laid eyes on in five years?
But now, her best friend has asked her to make the ultimate sacrifice. Go back to the resort where she'd found and lost Falcon. Telling herself that she had nothing to worry about, after all, he had probably moved on. She could go, purge her demons and finally, finally put him and the memories they'd made behind her.
She was wrong.
Coming face to face with the one man who had the ability to make her body hum, the man she'd nearly given her heart to, would she be able to walk away so easily again?

About the author
Amanda Jayde
9 books17 followersI’ve been telling stories for years, but it wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I began writing them down.
Since then I’ve tried to write every chance I get. I usually have a story in my head, one finished and one or two in progress. I also had the great pleasure of writing scripts for Circle of Seven Productions. A wonderful company that invented and perfected the Book Trailer™.
Now, after many years of waiting, I am proud to have my books available to the public. I hope it's a relationship that lasts many years and I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoyed writing them.
I'm also a huge reader, and my interests are all over the place from Fantasy to Historical if its got a good story I'll read it.

What do I read before I go on a tropical vacation? How about a smoking hot love story about second chances at a tropical resort. I loved this new contemporary story from an author who is known for her paranormal werewolves. Nothing paranormal here - it is brilliantly written, showing what a talent Amanda Jayde is.
Jasmine Rojas is a psychologist working at one of the largest e-dating sites in New York. Her best friend has a breakup and suggests they go back to one of their favorite resorts, Rio Oro. It is the same resort where five years earlier Jasmine met, fell in love with, and left Chayton "Falcon" Baker with no explanation. Jasmine finally agrees after much prodding from her friend. Falcon is still there and when their eyes meet, the fire is rekindled. He is no longer a front desk employee, but is the Vice President of Events at the resort. But she has to finally decide if he is worth a risk to finally give him everything. This couple connected on every level, and I adored the scene in the gift shop.
Some of my favorite parts in this book were the scenes between the two best friends. Ryan and Lina. The way they argued was beyond sexy! Please, please, please - I am now begging - Amanda Jayde, please devote a book to these two!
This is an amazing author and I can't wait to see her talent grow. 5-stars!!!

After breaking up with her boyfriend, Lina needs to get away. She grabs her best friend, Jasmine, and takes her back to the infamous resort where 5 years ago Jasmine met the love of her life. It's been so long, surely Falcon has moved on, right? Think again.
Right away the two start back up with the hot and heavy relationship, but there is only so much of a "fling" that these two are willing to take.
A super cute story that is very hot all over the place. Literally. A quick, easy read that flows nicely. The relationship between these two catches your attention, but I definitely want to know what happened 5 years ago. They touch on certain parts (no pun intended) but I want the full story. There's humor, love, drama, jealousy and the beach; what more could you want in a story. Beautiful love story.
