Second Chances
It was all fun and games...until that damned stick turned blue.
Having a child in their teens was not on either of Zahra King's or Oliver Bradford’s bucket lists, and the responsibility of it all eventually tore them apart.
Now, years later, Zahra and Oliver are adults with thriving careers successfully co-parenting their pre-teen son, Connor. Things are going well; their mutually held animosity gave way over the years to respect and cooperation, something that can’t be said about their parents nor a certain overprotective best friend who takes holding a grudge to a whole new level.
There is still tension among their families and friends, but the only thing they’re concerned about is making sure they’ve created the best life for their son.
However, something else suddenly enters the picture. Something neither of them saw coming.
Love.
Love?
Didn’t they learn anything the first time around?
The stakes are much higher and, if things go bad, it’s guaranteed to destroy everything they’ve worked so hard to build.
Should they keep old feelings buried and focus solely on their son? Or should they throw caution to the wind and give love a second chance?

The title says it all...
The theme isn't new, but I liked the largely realistic and mature tone of the book. Zahra and Oliver became parents as teens and had to navigate disappointments, assumptions, and the rearing of a child when they weren't prepared themselves. For Zahra, her parents and sister were particularly unyielding in their attitudes towards the situation more than twelve years later; especially her mother. Also, Zahra's "best friends" were an interesting part of the story. Gayle, in particular; who I thought was way too interested in Zahra's business. I got that she didn't want her friend hurt again by Oliver or his family, but she pulled a stunt that was way out of line for the bonds of even the deepest or closest of friendships. Zahra was unwittingly caught in a scheme she had nothing to do with and I felt for her. It wasn't resolved the way I would have liked, but Zahra did get the "win" in the end.
Oliver was the rich kid with a family who thought Zahra was a "gold-digger" trying to trap their son. Hmm...well...takes two to tango, but they strangely forgot this fact. That does happen, but not here. It was all about the hatred of Zahra, and unfortunately, Oliver went along with this for those first few years as a new parent. I found Oliver's enlightenment after all those years the more compelling one. Zahra did what she had to do; she took it all on the chin and took care of her baby. Oliver, however, had to really do some soul searching, because his treatment of a young Zahra wasn't his finest moment. When he started to realize what his long buried feelings were again, he had a lot to overcome within himself first. He had to face his actions. I felt his heart.
In the middle of all of this was Connor, their son. A sweet, smart kid who loved BOTH his parents fiercely. They really were good parents to him and truly learned to work as a team for him. That part was hard fought and won as well. And as we expect, Connor was the glue and heart to the whole thing.
Again, I enjoyed the maturity in which this theme was handled. It was realistic and there were no easy answers. And even though we get our HEA, it came at a cost. One that was necessary and for the best, but certainly not easy. I appreciated that. There were some spots to pick at, but nothing that kept me from enjoying the read.

Nice Read
As I started to read this book I found a myself walking away from it. The main characters lives are so lifelike, and the storyline is... this book is definitely one that requires a strong sense of self and restraint.
Zee and Ollie’s story and lives will have you wanting to have their 6’s...read it and you’ll see.
I have to say, this first and foremost, the first time I have ever read anything from this author.

Whew. This was hot!
First of all, as someone with a Carribean background, I loved all the references. I could relate to it so much. I feel like it's rare to read about a main character with Carribean background so this was really nice.
This book is about Zahra and Oliver who had a baby as teenagers and are now co-parenting as adults. I loved how dedicated Zahra and Oliver were to co-parenting their son Connor.I loved how self-aware both Zahra and Oliver were when it came to their past mistakes. Their main problem was communication.
Both of their families as well as Zahra's friends were jerks. Zahra's friends and family would throw her past in her face and then try and soothe the hurt it would create by claiming to have her best interests at heart. Zahra's friend Gayle was the worst. All we knew about Connor's family was that they hated Zahra and thought she was a gold digger with some racist vibes thrown in. It was nice to see both Zahra and Connor fix them.
On one hand, moving to Canada (lol) seemed kind of extreme. Why not just another state? On the other hand, their families were toxic so maybe the distance was necessary.
The sex scenes between Zahra and Oliver though! 🔥🔥🔥 No words. Just that their chemistry was insane.
Overall, I really liked this book. It was a quick and easy read that I didn't want to put down.

Read this book 1-2 years ago and haven’t been able to find it since. Would love to read it again but it’s nowhere online in ebook or print. Sucks because it was a great book

Not Enough Punishment
Such a beautiful story about young love, mistakes, and adult understanding. Great book, but was hoping for more payback for those who tried to control the fate of others out of misguided reason.

Both Zahra and Oliver took a gamble on sex as teenagers and lost, becoming parents long before they were emotionally ready. Through that process they both, fueled by angry family and friends, showed that emotional immaturity and ruined what little feeling they had for one another. It was only through parenting their son Connor that they were able to regain a modicum of civility that over the years grew into something more. Although Zahra and Oliver grew out of their disdain for one another, their families and friends were more than content to hold on to their bitterness. Will their new, fledgling feeling be able to grow under the constant scrutiny and toxicity of the people who love them?
With Second Chances, Riley Jordan does a very good job of exploring they dynamic between never married co-parents who develop deeper feelings for one another, as well as the relationship between parents and friends who have been there for you during your worst times but can't see beyond themselves. The book is a bit slow at the beginning yet if you hang in, the story does get better. If there is anything that I would have like to have seen it would be less of Zahra and Oliver rhapsodizing about each other's bodies and more focus on the two having grown up conversations, I would have also like to see a bit more about their come to Jesus moments with their family and friends, since those characters were so much of a part of the book. Despite those things, the book was worth reading. I would read other books from this author.

This my first time reading a book by Riley Jordan and I must say I enjoyed reading “Second Chances” which is one of my favorite reading tropes. The storyline is very realistic with family issues.
Zahra and Oliver are not the first teenagers to meet and in school and become parents at an early age and I’m certain they will not be the last of the teenagers.
Zahra’s meddling mother, sister and best friends need to get themselves some business and stay out of Zahra’s. They didn’t have Zahra’s best interest. With a friend like Gayle who needs enemies, she was jealous of the relationship Oliver and Zahra had.
Oliver’s parents thought that Zahra was a gold digger and was trying to trap Oliver since his parents were rich. Oliver was not a strong person he went along with what his parents. Zahra did not get pregnant by herself Oliver was there also but yet he wasn’t there for Zahra nor wanting to take responsibility for his part in the pregnancy.
Connor, Zahra and Oliver’s son was the glue that held the two together. I was glad when the two stepped up to the plate and took matters into their own hands.
This was a great second chances romance for both Oliver, Zahra and Connor with the obstacles that they both faces. Kudos that things worked out.

With friends and family like this
You don’t need enemies. Oliver and Zahra were teen parents.
Their friends and families totally interfered with their relationship. His family considered her to be a gold digger while her family and friends thought he was just wrong for her. They both made serous mistakes but Oliver in my opinion should have showed more backbone when his wealthy parents were talking her motives and saying that the baby wasn’t his...
Present day.....With a preteen son to coparent they are making it work while still grappling with loving each other and not being TOGETHER. In addition, friends and family still think they know best. Of particular note is Zahra’s controlling and manipulative friend Gayle. Gayle takes interference to a new level. Talk about a witch with a b! Through all of this back stabbing and tomfoolery, Connor, their son, is a bright young man and his character is well written. I really enjoyed this story and this couple. The epilogue is very satisfying....all loose ends are connected.

This was a good story from a different angle
Loved the dynamic between the couple. Their families and her friends are manipulative people who acted as if they had their best interests at hand when they clearly did not. In fact Gayle was downright jealous of Zahra relationship with Oliver. Absolutely loved Connor. How could his grandmother and aunties love Conner and yet hate his mother who if she was a wicked person could have poisoned him against them and yet did not and the same for Oliver with Zahra's parent and sibling.
The only complaint I had is that the book did not hold Oliver more accountable f o r the way he treated Zahra when she fell pregnant. Yes he was young but she was even younger.
Looking forward to reading more from this author.
This was a good debut book.

When we're young we look to family for guidance and what they say we believe and accept and many times it takes maturing to realize we can think and decipher for ourselves. This is the state Zahra and Oliver find themselves in. His family sees her as a gold-digger who got pregnant to latch onto Oliver and the family wealth. Zahra's family sees Oliver through the lens of his family, rich people who look down on people they consider beneath them. It takes years for Zahra and Oliver to grow up, to see each other as flawed people who can control their own destiny as well as raise their son Connor in love. It's a journey worth taking with the couple as well as the problems they encounter along the way.

Second time around
This story was truly everything. What a pleasant surprise. This was my 1st time reading this author and I gotta say I was not disappointed. Her friend Gayle was extra meddlesome in Zahra and Oliver's relationship. I found myself yelling "mind your business" at my Kindle. Talk about a sanctimonious busybody. But I was thrill to see that Oliver and Zahra came to a good place. My heart was simply satisfied with the ending. Let's see this book was real. Ms Jordan captured the emotions of all the characters perfectly. And she displayed the stress involved when in a relationship such as this. I read the story in two days because it was a challenge to put it down. Characters well developed. It was sexy. Overall great story. Thanks for was writing a wonderful story.

Ollie & Zee
Teenage parents … Scary, right?!
Oliver and Zahra were teenagers and like most teenagers , they forgot that their actions had consequences, then baby makes three. Oliver’s family was beyond furious awful and tried to pay off Zahra … fast forward 12 years later, they resolved their animosity and coparenting Connor, their son , with love and understanding. They are still in love with each other, however both sets of parents and Zahra’s friends are against them getting back together.
With a friend like Gayle or even Tameka, who needs enemies, seriously., I don’t know how she put up with them!? Good thing she finally realized their heavy handed, controlling so called friendship wasn’t true friendship and cut them off. 👏👏
They finally got their HEA
I love the epilogue, and sweet little Sophie!

I liked this second chance
I appreciated the author making our h strong enough to stand up to her family and friends and put them in their places when it came to her life manipulation around her love. She did not ultimately cave and just let by-gones be by-gones like so many heroines do. As the daughter of a Bajan, I appreciated some Bajan additions, but thought it odd that one came out of the American H's mouth "you don't know shit about shite". The level of descriptions for some other characters led me to think that perhaps their stories might be forthcoming from this author.

I'm not one for second chances in real life or in books when it comes to relationships but I can definitely say this book changed my mind (at least when it comes to the genre!!!!)
Zahara & Oliver have a complicated past to say the least but they've finally reached a point where they are co-parenting successfully. However it seems like simmering feelings are coming back up or are they feelings never really went away? I feel like the author really caputred the complexities of a possible second chance when a kid is in the mix as well as the people in your life who just make a muck of it all. I also liked the fact that the author really included the whole dyamics of not just race but economic difference within the story as well, it added a whole other layer to the story on top of the romantic plot.
I would definitely recommend this book if you're looking for something to add to your 2021 TBR list!

I liked it
I’m so so glad they both stopped listening to everyone else and went after what they wanted. My parents taught me early on than not everyone needs to know all your business and this was a good example of that. It’s one thing to be concerned and voice your concerns. It’s another to meddle so heavily. It’s not healthy to always hold a person’s past over them. It’s one thing if they have no signs of stopping, but it’s a slap in the face to people acting trying to be better. I’m glad it worked for them in the end.

Awesome book
I really enjoyed this story and the characters were very entertaining! Loved the chemistry between Oliver and Zahra it was smoking hot 🔥! Friends and family caused more harm than good! I loved the journey the author took you on. This is my first book by this author and Ms Jordan has done an excellent job, can't wait to read some more of her works. I highly recommend this book to my fellow romance readers you will not be disappointed. I could not put it down.

Meh
I love second chance romances. This story had great potential but fell flat. The way the story was written didn't grab my attention and I stopped and started this book over 3 days trying to keep myself engaged to finish. Zahara and Conner we two adults that let everyone around them continually interfere in their love life to the point it was over the top. This is my first time reading this author so I will try another read by her

A diamond
This is a great read. I'm sorry that both family and close friends overstepped their bounds. At the same time, both the heroine and hero needed to setup boundaries. I'm happy they were able to "man up" and confess their feelings but it took them an unnecessarily long time.

Great storylines.
I enjoyed this second chance romance. The characters were great and smart enough to see how family and friends can influence a relationship. The only person who had the right to influence them was their son. First book I've read by this author. Definitely will read more book by this author.

Watch the dog that carries the bone
I'm giving this book 4 1/2 stars. I was so glad when Zee finally grew a pair and put Gayle in her place. I think she was a self righteous know-it-all. I do wish Oliver would have moved out of his parents estate but in the end this was a very good book.

(Sigh)
It’s was good, I just hate when characters go back in forth with their feelings. I just feel like it just a whole bunch of nonsense to extend the book. It’s like oh I wanna be with her but do she want to be with me and vice versa. I can only take for a little while but then it just starts to get annoying. Over all a good read.

My first book from this author
Loved the story, it was really sweet. I found myself sad that it ended and was shorter than I’d like but that’s a credit to the author.
Will definitely one click any other books that com out from her.

Good Book
I enjoyed reading Oliver and Zahra’s love story. They both kind of made me mad because they allowed family and friends to interfere too much in their lives; but, it all worked at in the end. Good book.

Sweet Story
I loved Oliver and Z. Very cute couple who went from co parents only to being the love of each other’s lives again. It’s a beautiful story in which you learn that sometimeS those around you aren’t who you I believe them to be.

This was a nice story about second chances. It was well-written and had some drama involved. The storyline was realistic and the main characters were likable, relatable and had chemistry. It was an enjoyable read.

Absolutely loved
5-stars, I absolutely loved this book. Oliver, Zahra, Connor, and Sophie are a heartwarming family, my one note of angst, was the years they wasted. Ms. Jordan (that's my oldest son name too) thank you for writing such a treasure. Bless you. 😘

Ehh..
I felt that the story had potential but it never clicked for me.. Based on the past, I understand why Zahara's family and friends had reservations about Oliver. To me, she it seem that she never wanted to or would give anyone a chance unless it was Oliver.
