Cowboys Ranch City #3

The Second Chance

Rate this book
An Opposites Attract Western Romance

Time and time and time again!

Chaos. Confusion. Disorder. And worst of all, amnesia!

The doubt of what I thought I believed.
The fear of what will be coming.
A terror of putting my trust on show again, open to be broken.

How could I be expected to overcome the many challenges that now posed a threat to the love that was promised, and to the father of dreams and expectations?
What would become of the time and effort put in to capture another’s heart?
At what point shall a man resign and admit defeat? Is this a sign of fate or of faith?

If love does conquer all, what happens when one also offers amongst many things, a heart-stopping attraction?


For your absolute reading pleasure, the reading order is
The Beginning
The Return
The Second Chance
The Sacrifice
The Truth
The Sweet End

I am so glad that Sarah and Derrick was finally able to be together.

Once again Ella delivered a short but sweet story that was pack with all the emotions. Right when Sarah and Derrick was happily together, another mystery happen.

Can’t wait for the next book to come and maybe I can cross out all the ending I have written down. Yep I am that reader.

Very fast, short read but jam packed full of every emotion possible. Be prepared once you start this story make sure you have a couple of hours just YOU TIME cause you are not going to want to set it down until you’ve reached the very last word. Part three Sarah wakes up in the hospital with tubes in her everywhere, machines making noises, and with the brightest lights in her face she’s ever seen. When she’s finally able to open her eyes she see’s a man beside the bed holding onto her hand. With no idea whatsoever who this crazy handsome man is. She is extremely leery but, she has this feeling towards him, sort of a good feeling, she’s not afraid but, she’s just not sure what it is...because she doesn’t know who he is.
Derrick sees that she is waking up, he runs to get the doctor, and the doctor explains he’s pretty certain she has amnesia and that over a few days time her full memory should come back to her. Sarah is confused and decides to call an old boyfriend to come and take care of her so this stranger will leave her be. Sarah leaves the hospital, as Sarah continues to regain her memory she discovers that the old boyfriend isn’t who or what she wants or needs, it’s Derrick that needs to be in her life! Derrick has stayed away giving her time to heal. Derrick is dealing with being completely in charge of running the ranch and now they’ve got troubles with someone or something attacking the ranch along with missing sheep from their herd. Finally Derrick and Sarah get together, talk about the sparks flying and the heat scorching hot. What a reunion, they are woken by the phone, Derrick finally decides to answer it, he tells Sarah he has to leave and for to be there when he gets back, but he neglects to tell her what’s up? Why he’s leaving? Where he’s going? Next we learn Sarah hears a knock at the door, she answers it...CLIFFHANGER!!! A very good addition to the series, I am really looking forward to the next book Part 4: The Sacrifice. I received an Advance Reader's Copy and am voluntarily leaving my honest thoughts and opinions.

Holy shiznet. This is part three of this series and you get right back into the throw of things that has been going on. No letting it sink in and go hmmm. Nope things happen like always in this story that are just not good. Ashley is the green eyed monster in this. She causes so much BS to happen that Sarah and Derrick are finally working things out. Sarah has amnesia and needs to figure out who Derrick is again. This story will have you going in all different kind of directions. I just love this series its just spot on for drama and action. Along with the nasty people from the past. Ashley has no right to be the way she is but guess supposed love will do that but when it is not returned it comes out more. Yep you guessed it another cliffhanger which is always needed for the series. Love it. Grab the first and read on you will enjoy it also. Along with HATRED towards Ashley and others.

This is the third book in the Cowboys Ranch City Series and Sarah and Derrick's stories continues. Right when it seems that things are going good for them she has an accident and develops amnesia. The accident was not her fault as she was sabotaged. Her relationship with Derrick is back at a standstill since she does not remember him. The story is well written and the characters have a lot of depth. Cant say much more without being a spoiler. Since it's part of a series we do have a cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next book. I read a free copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

This is the third installment in the Cowboys Ranch City series. In this part you keep wondering when Sarah and Derrick will finally get along, every time you think yes they have everything on the reels something happens again and this time Sarah has a car accident where it soon becomes clear who is behind it . Sarah has suffered amnesia from the accident.

Because of that, she has no idea who Derrick is, nor what he means to her. I think this story and the characters are well described again, you empathize with the protagonists because you want what will turn out well or that you hope that their story will go in a certain direction, but just when you think you know what will come, it is different than you thought.

Nothing in this third part is what seems and I enjoyed reading it and also can't wait for the next part to read to find out how Derrick and Sarah's story continues.

This is the continuation of Derrick's and Sarah's relationship. In this book, Sarah wakes up in the hospital with no memory of Derrick. Derrick is beside himself and does everything he can think of to help Sarah with her memory. There are many twists in this book and poor Derrick, the only thing he needs right now is for Sarah's memory to come back. It does, but there are other events that take place that may keep them apart again. This does end in a cliffhanger. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for my honest review. This is my own opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

The Second Chance by Ella Cooper is book 3 of 6. Book 3 picks up where book 2 left off. The Second Chance is part of a series and ends with a cliffhanger. The books must be read in order to understanding the ongoing plot.

I can't give a review without revealing some spoilers. Sarah wakes up in the hospital and has no memory of Derrick. He does everything he can to give her space until she remembers him. Sarah and Derrick have chemistry. Even when she can't remember him she is drawn to him.

The book reads fast and Ella Cooper knows how to put the reader on the hook. The cliffhanger has got me anxious for the next book.

This is the third book in this series and they do have to be read in order to get the story as this is more like a serialised version of a longer book So if you don't like cliff hangers maybe wait until the entire six books are pout and read it then

I can't really tell you anything about what is happening without giving spoilers so let me just say When we thought things where finally going right for Sarah and Derrick another spanner is thrown into the works

A must read with so many twists and turns, Sarah didn't realise how much Derrick meant to her yes they needed to talk but before that happens Sarah is in an accident. Oh heavens sharks are circling here me thinks, I need more, I have to know the answers to my question. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Sarah has a hard time letting men in. She thinks all men are like her father, abusive jerks. Derek is different. He keeps coming back when she pushes him away but in the end, they come together. This short story has plenty of steam for the adults who like that. If you do not like cliffhangers, you may want to steer clear. On the other hand, this story is too good to pass up. Highly recommended.

This is the third book in the series and it doesn't disappoint.
Sarah survived the car crash caused by Ashley but now has amnesia and doesn't remember Derrick.
When her memory starts to come back will it be too late for them or will they get their second chance.
Another cliffhanger leaves you wanting the next book straight away.

Hmm. This time the cliffhanger was very small but its impact on me was even bigger then the last ones... gosh! Not only the fear for Derrick but also the fear from her past must bring Sarah to her knees... with this third installment in the series I start to get used to this new style of storytelling from Ella Cooper. And just so you know for sure: I still do hate Jarred!

Cooper cannot write these books fast enough. The end of each book leaves you in suspense to see what happens next. After jealousy rears its ugly head, Sarah doesn't remember anything about her time with Derrick. Sarah has to decide if she wants to fully trust Derrick but her past keeps catching back up to her.

This is part three in the Cowboys Ranch City series. Derrick and Sarah cannot seem to catch a break. One almost has to wonder if fate is trying to tear them apart for good or giving them one heck of a testing. Sarah is in a car accident, thanks to Ashley, that leaves her with some memory loss. This includes Sarah not knowing who Derrick is to her. In this part, just when things appear to be smoothing themselves back out another challenge strikes. This story continues to keep me reading and focused on the characters that are so challenged. I cannot wait to get to their HEA. Enjoy!

The Second Chance is the third book in Ella Coopers new series. After Sarah has gotten back from straightening out the mess left behind by her old job and boss. She and Derrick reunite but just when things are looking up Sarah is in an accident that was deliberate! Sarah ends up with amnesia not knowing who Derrick is. YIKES she does remember her ex not realizing he is her ex! Sarah does some soul searching during the time it takes her to get her memory back. Throw in some missing livestock on the ranch, Sarah’s inconsistencies, and a questionable employee Derrick has his work cut out for him! This is an interesting set of events to watch develop! Once again we are left on a lurch with some more cliffhangers!

This story had me hooked from the first word to the last!

Can these two catch a break??? It seems that fate has other plans for Derrick and Sarah. Whenever they reconnect something or someone has a little laugh and tears them apart.

Working through her Amnesia after Ashley's stunt in the last book causes the couple more heart ache and suffering.

I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment as they continue to try and find a HEA!

Book number three is amazing! Derrick and Sarah are working to get their relationship back on track and it seems like someone is out there to sabotage them. There was another cliffhanger but no where near as dramatic as the last book. I am so glad because my heart wouldn't take it lol. Loved this one!

Oh my God! Ella is giving me heart palpitations with this story. Just when I think they get back together and hope for no moe drama something else happens. I really di hope that Derrick is ok and really curious who is behind the attacks and now pictures. Talk about cliffhangers galore. What is going to happen next and will they ever get their HEA with no more drama.

This is book three of the Cowboy's Ranch City series by Ella Cooper. This is a continuous series meaning where one book ends the next one begins. I recommend this series and that you start with book one The Beginning.

Book three begins with with Sarah in the hospital with amnesia after an accident. She does not remember what happened or Derrick, the handsome guy who is at her bed everyday, all day. He tries to remind her but so far nothing.

Book three is named The Second Chance because Derrick and Sarah have a second chance at love if only Sarah can remember. Derrick gas to figure out how to make her remember him.

Meanwhile he gets a call from the ranch that he is needed immediately. Derrick is made boss of the ranch and knows he must maximize profits. Upon arriving at the ranch he is told that animals are missing from the ranch and he must find them and determine what is happening. Now he needs to balance the ranch problem and helping Sarah to regain her memory. But wait Jerald is angry that Derrick was made boss over him so he also has to be managed.

How is Derrick going to juggle all these problems, still find love and make the ranch big profits? Will Sarah recover? What is Jerald up to this time? I can not wait to read book four, The Sacrifice.

This is book 3, in the Cowboys Ranch City Series. You must read book 1, The Beginning, and book 2, The Return, first!! This book is heartbreaking. Your heart really breaks for Sarah and Derrick. They just want happiness with each and nothing but obstacles keep standing in their way 😢 I’m still rooting for these two ♥️ This book is fantastic 🤗 It’s such a page turner!! It has soft moments and moments of suspense!!

Sarah is currently recovering, in the hospital, after the events of book 2, The Return. She has amnesia, and isn’t sure who Derrick is. Derrick keeps coming back to the hospital to check on Sarah and stay with her. In her confusion, Sarah calls an old boyfriend, and he comes back into the picture. Sarah finally calls Derrick to talk to him. As she tries to tell him what she wants to say, Derrick stops her, and wants to talk in person

This book does end on a Cliffhanger, because it is a series. I highly recommend this book and the entire series ♥️

One minute she is leaving the ranch and the next she is waking up in a hospital. Her memory is gone and she is wary of the man who stays by her bed. Slowly over many days, her memory comes back in pieces, replaying the horror of her youth and past boyfriends who hurt her. Finally, she starts to remember Derrick, the man from the hospital. Suspense from something being off at the ranch, and a past boyfriend out to get her. The romance finally is back to being great again and feelings are acknowledged. Trust and knowing where they stand with each other is front and center. Now again, just when things are good, something bad is happening... a fire in the direction of the ranch....... Hope the next segment comes out soon.

Just when Derrick and Sarah get back together, the wheels fall off again. This time it’s Ashley’s jealousy she tampers with the cars brakes and she causes Sarah to have a car accident. When she awakens in the hospital a handsome strange man is holding her hand. She has no idea who Derrick is or why he keeps telling her they are together. She is leery of him and she pushes him away again. As her memory slowly returns, they finally have a chance to talk and he answers all the questions she has. They’re idle their bond but things at the ranch are heating up. Someone is stealing from the ranch. Looking forward to the next installment in this series.

Sarah is in the hospital and is recovering but has amnesia. She is not sure who the man holding her hand is. So she calls an old boyfriend to help her while she heals. Derek wait patiently for Sarah. He has had some trouble on the ranch. They reconnect. The phone rings he answers it tells her to wait for him without saying anything else. Then there is a knock on the door.........and we wait for the next installment. This saga is so good, that I can overlook the cliffhangers. I just have to know what happens. I have already pre ordered the next installment. The characters are great and throw in a few crazies and you have a great story. This is a quick read.

Another book to hurt and then heal my heart. Book three picks up about a month after book two left us hanging. Poor Sarah and Derrick just can’t catch a break. Sarah has amnesia and Derrick wants to remind her of their love. So much else is going on at the ranch too so Derrick really can’t catch a break. Oh and for the record Jerald is an ass and I hope he gets his at some point in this series. The lovemaking is spectacular as always. I love the connection between Sarah and Derrick. Poor Sarah has had a rough life but Derrick will show her it’s ok to open up to love. This has a cliffhanger as well but it didn’t hurt my heart as much as the first two books. This time I just have questions that I’m ready to have answered.

Sarah wakes up in an unfamiliar hospital, not sure what is going on and why is that man looking at her like that. Sarah has lost her memories, and now she needs to piece things back together. Derrick has stayed by Sarah's side after the accident, heart broken that she does not remember him, but is pushing him away. Now he will just have to way.

The Second Chance continues Sarah and Derrick tale as they navigate through the twist and turns that have been left after the accident. Things are happening on the ranch that need to be looked in and yes you are left on the edge of your seat.
