Meeting Olivia and her knock out mother has him believing that maybe he did deserve a second chance.

The Silver Cover series just keeps getting better with each book! The title of this book is definitely the perfect one as this story is definitely about second chances and the things that you are willing to go through to make them happen. Great interpersonal connections between the characters wrapped in a story with intrigue and mayhem to make it exciting. You could absolutely read this book as a stand alone, but you would be missing out on a ton of entertainment, back story about all the characters and town as well as a build up to the events that happen in this book!
Another great addition to the Silver Cove series by Jill Sanders. The book does stand alone, but why not just read the whole series?! The story is well written and unique. I love the whole cast of characters.

Second Chances is a great addition to the Jill Sanders Silver Cove series. Todd and Olivia have both had troubled pasts. The only thing Olivia's ex gave her was her daughter Simona. When Todd returns to Silver Cove he unexpectedly charmed by a six year old girl. Jill always writes compelling stories with great characters and great interpersonal relationships. I always love small town romances and Jill never fails to deliver.
This was just a beautiful story. I liked the single mum second chance romance. Todd and Olivia have both been through things in their past so it will take time and trust to build something new and beautiful. Simona was adorable and a handful of fun. A loving and heart warming small town story.
A story about two people who have had tough pasts and only together can they heal. Add in a precocious daughter Simona and some good friends and it becomes a sweet read. Plus you have some spice and a few bad guys and you have a good book.
Another brilliant read from Jill. Wow Todd, Olivia and Simone's story is full definitely second chance story and none deserves it more than them. Todd is an unexpected surprise for them both and he falls in love with Simone first then her mum Olivia what a wonderful read
Olivia and Todd have both sworn off love, but find a second chance for love with each other. A sweet romance with steam, wonderful characters, and danger and suspense thrown in. This story is a great addition to the Silver Cove series and I love revisiting the town and it's wonderful inhabitants.
Small town romance with lots of heart, laughter, family and a second chance at forever... was a sweetly thrilling adventure that kept me reading all night. An edge of your seat and highly entertaining journey.
You will love this book, it’s filled with the hopes of second chances. Sometime because of youth we don’t get it right the time. Thank god for second chances, they do happen.
