Would you forgive her? She ripped a hole in my heart while I was reeling from an unfathomable family tragedy. They say time heals all wounds. I’m about to find out if that’s true.

Luke

I used to pull her bright red pig tales when we were kids.

Then she grew up, seemingly overnight, her body filling curvy hypnotic hips and full bountiful breasts.

Her plump, sweet lips cherished me for hours in the back of my Chevy Camaro, lost to each other's blossoming bodies.

But now, grief and misery weigh heavy on my aching heart. She cheated on me while I was at sea.

That breakup call was the second-worst night of my life.

And life offers no guarantees, as I've harshly learned.

Yet hard as I try, I can't deny the continual thumping in my heart for her.

I'm nowhere near capable of maintaining a friendly distance, not when every cell in my body aches to rekindle our passionate love affair.

Especially now that I know her blessed secret.

Despite the circumstantial evidence, I'm not ready to permanently shut the door between my high school sweetheart and me.

Hunter is, and always will be, my first and only love.

Hunter

Sleep's been impossible the last three nights, my swollen restless body sensing his imminent arrival.

I inhale deeply, biting back guilty tears, wanting to get my disgraceful admission behind me.

Luke's tugging my heartstrings as he exits the cab, immense sorrow in his deep brown eyes.

My tender heart aches for him, wanting to comfort him as he sets foot in the empty house.

Our intense lust for each other is still unyielding. I feel him in my bones.

Possibility is ripe to rekindle our torrid love affair.

Until he sees me, sees the evidence of my betrayal.

I slump against the closed, locked door, my palpitating chest praying for a second chance.

I don’t deserve one.

But I can’t live without.

My traitorous heart will never love another man.

Ever.



Luke is a sweet second chance secret baby romance. If you love happy endings with a heaping pile of drama on the side, enlist in his crew today.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for my honest. This is my own opinion.

Alphas Luke is the second book in Pandora Snow's Alpha series. This story takes place before book one which opened with Luke's bachelor party. So going in I knew this story would have a happily ever after

Luke is a sympathetic hero. His entire world has been destroyed. His enlistment is completed, his parents were killed in a car accident while he was out at sea and his longtime sweetheart broke up with him. Needless to say Luke is emotionally fragile. He can't quite deal with his parents death.

Hunter lives next door to Luke. They grew up together. She shattered his heart and hers when she broke up with him. She made a terrible mistake and now is pregnant with another man's baby.

Luke and Hunter are such a cute couple. They are perfect for each other. They have incredible chemistry and are so supportive of each other. My heart ached for Luke with reminders of his parents all around him. He kept his grief pushed down but it still would leak to the surface. This rings so true to life.

Alphas Luke is a standalone romance. Luke is a hero that captured my heart.

How much can you forgive to get what you want?

Luke has been knocked down - while serving in the Navy his parents die and his girlfriend ends their relationship.

His service is now over and he is finally back on shore, with A LOT to deal with. He is going home to his parents' house without them and his ex is living right next door.

The spark is still alive between Luke and Hunter. What can you forgive? How do you move on?

I loved the relationship between Hunter, Luke and Archer. Their relationships are deep and they work to support each other- desperately trying to do what they think is best for the others.

This is book 2, but a prequel to Axel's story, so not necessary to have read book one before reading this one.

I am looking forward to reading Archer's story. He deserves his own happy ending.

I received an advanced copy of this story for an honest review.

This was a very good book. Pandora does it again with book 2 of this series. Forgiveness is a life changing act for someone like Hunter. She made a colossal mistake in her time of grief and missing Luke and he is able to forgive her. They belong together and despite his emotional state he wants to be there for her and her babies that are on the way. Their love will likely withstand the normal trials and tribulations a relationship encounters. Can’t wait to read how things are going in future books of this series.

I am crying as I write this! That is how sweet and wonderful this book is. You feel their every thought and emotion. You hold your breath as you root for their love and try to guess what will happen next! Lots of surprises, warmth, love, grief, hope, and forgiveness are wrapped up in this heartwarming love story! Dealing with so much grief would be impossible without his two BFFs. The ending is so beautiful you may cry too! Loved it!

I received an ARC copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

Luke is a sweet sweet man who's in love with his high school sweetheart who broke up with him while he was on a 2 year assignment at sea. When he returns, she is pregnant with another man's baby.
He has suffered a few life altering blows while deployed and all he wants is to reconnect with her. But he"s not emotionally available.

This is a heart warming story of friendship, love and hope.

The author has given us characters we can care about. We are pulled into the lives of Luke and Hunter and that is exactly where we want to be. Hunter had made decisions that she thinks are right, but does not take into consideration how much pain will come with those decisions, for both Luke and herself.

A very emotional second chance/sexy veteran romance. Luke is the kind of man we are all looking for. So kind. So caring. So compassionate. So forgiving. So loving. So broken by the loss of his parents. You'll want to read his story!

A story of forgiveness and fortitude. Luke and Hunter were childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately in a moment of weakness Hunter was taken advantage of by the office cad. When Luke returned home from active duty they had to put aside these issues to find their happily ever after.

In the second installment of the Alphas Series we meet Luke who was mentioned in Alphas Axel Book 1. A sweet second chance romance about compasionate love and forgiveness that leaves the reader grabbibg for the tissues! Luke returns from being at sea for a mission in the Atlantic for two years. Six months ago his parents were killed in a car accident and he couldn't attend the memorial service, weeks later his compassionate, loving girlfriend Hunter broke up with him.. He is shocked to discover Hunter pregnant resulting from an indiscretion but still the love and compassion he felt for her never subsided. Hunter wonders if Luke will accept her pregnancy and would want to start over. Luke cannot commit to Hunter untill he makes peace with his parents death and himself. Will Luke accept his parents death and forgive himself to start a family with Hunter? I received an ARC for an honest review.

Method: ebook

Rating: 3/5 stars

H rating: 4/5 - Luke. Really liked this hero, honestly his flaw was being so forgiving.

h rating: 2.5/5 - Hunter. NOT A FAN! Her "weakness" was such a lame excuse, I just don't believe it was a weak moment, especially after something so tragic happens to her family I don't understand that. Then on top, expecting a marriage proposal?! SERIOUSLY!?

Drama: 3/5 -All due to Hunter..

Thoughts: Not a fan of this book only due to the heroine and yeah I guess a little bit because he was so forgiving.

A second chance romance. A love story filled with passion and understanding that will have you turning the pages as fast as you can. Absolutely loved this book!!! Such a fantastic read!

Luke has just returned from a two-year mission in the Atlantic. Now it's time to face reality. He was not expecting to see Hunter so soon, and pregnant to boot.

Hunter has a secret and she doesn't know how to tell him. Well one thing is certain, she won't be able to hide it. How will he ever forgive me?
