A Second Chance for Love: A Sea Glass Bay Romance Book
With Mother’s Day approaching, four women living in a picturesque coastal town discover a second chance at love when they finally find their happily-ever-after partners in this anthology of contemporary romance novellas.
MOM WANTED
Claire Bishop’s life as an art teacher in Sea Glass Bay is full and rewarding, but her heart longs for a family she’ll never have. When she agrees to help out widower, Sully Vaughn, by taking care of his daughter after school, Sully is concerned his little girl, Lindie, is growing too attached to her favorite teacher. Sully is trying his best to protect his child from the heartache of loss that nearly destroyed him, but he hasn’t taken into account his passion for the dynamic woman―nor Lindie’s determination to lay claim to the perfect mom.
FATHER WANTED
Jazzy Dunbar is enjoying life as a single mom, proving that you don’t have to have a man to have it all. Jeremiah Caldwell, a good friend, made the perfect sperm donor. He’s happy with their “no strings attached” relationship ... or is he? He wants to be more than a sometimes-father in baby Caleb’s life. Jazzy doesn’t want to ruin their friendship by allowing their attraction to flare, but when a serious situation threatens, will Jeremiah be able to prove that they can have love and the perfect family?
HERO WANTED
Single mom Leah Martin needs to find a wedding date for her ex-husband’s wedding. Their son, Owen, is going to be the ringbearer and her attendance is required. But this florist has no time to date around the busy Mother’s Day holiday, which is why she agrees to let her friends set her up for a blind date. Hank DeLeon’s bar shares an alley with Leah’s florist shop, which is the perfect location for a restaurant if she’s willing to relocate. When he’s asked to take her on a blind date, he has to wonder: is this a great chance for a business proposition? Or a once-in-a-lifetime chance at love?
FAMILY WANTED
After a corporate restructuring at her accounting firm, Paige Duffy moved north to Sea Glass Bay and opened a handmade candle booth at the coastal town’s popular local craft market. Now her severance is running out and Paige discovers she’s pregnant from a one night stand. Charter boat owner, Gavin Cole, lost his grandfather six months ago, promising him he’d finally pursue his dreams of sailing the open ocean. But when Paige tells him that she’s pregnant with his child, Gavin must decide what adventure he really wants: the one he’s always dreamed of, or the one he never believed possible.

‘Family is the strongest of foundations…the best gift we could have gotten this Mother’s Day’
A collection of authors provide well-chosen romances to share in this compendium of works they call A SEA GLASS BAY ROMANCE BOOK. California author Anna J Stewart has published over forty romance novels and for this anthology she offers MOM WANTED. Canadian author Kayla Perrin has also published over forty novels in the romance and mystery/suspense genres and is a popular figure on television shows and the media, offering FATHER WANTED. Oregon author Melinda Curtis has been a manager for a Fortune 500 company and her romance novels have enjoyed being selected for television movies. Her novella – HERO WANTED. South Carolina author Cari Lynn Webb writes novels that reflect her respect for the long marriages of her parents and grandparents. Her selection – FAMILY WANTED. Four talented ladies who have mastered the art of placing romance stories before their public now join forces with this satisfying anthology of novellas.
The characters of each of theses four novellas find not only the location of Sea Glass Bay in common, but they also interrelate in a manner that makes the stories not only strong individually, but also when taken as a collection they grow in sensitivity and beauty. A major tie-in is that time of year as Mother’s Day approaches, allowing the spotlight to illuminate the challenges and successes of each character’s needs. With Mother’s Day approaching, four women living in a picturesque coastal town discover a second chance at love when they finally find their happily-ever-after partners.
Each of the four contributing authors makes a strong impression in this sensitive and positive life-enhancing book – individually and in tandem. Feel good romance collections are too rare these days when emphasis in the media – including books! – is on social problems and discontent. Settle in for happy-ever-after analects!

This was a fun collection of novellas! These four romance stories are all set in the same location and the characters all overlap from story to story. As one story moves to the next, you are able to see what is going on with the characters from the previous novellas. Each novella ends with a happily-ever-after, yet all four build up to form a complete picture for all of these friends.
The stories are clean romances, with a couple of the stories referencing intimacy between the main characters in the past. This was definitely necessary for the story lines, as those two stories involved pregnancies between friends. The authors handled the delicate situations well.
I thoroughly enjoyed these romances, which left me with a happy and uplifted feeling as the four main couples found their happily-ever-afters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I'm trying out Edelweiss to get review copies and this book was on there. It was okay for me. It is a collection of short romance stories. Short stories are hard anyway but with these most of the romances happen with people they were already friends with so that helps move things along. I am not a fan of romances with kids in the picture and 3 of the 4 had kids involved.

These Novella's are short and sweet and fun to read. I sat down and read several of them in a few hours.

I really enjoyed reading the novellas in A Second Chance for Love: A Sea Glass Bay Romance Book. Each story was written by an amazing romance author featuring one of four women living in a beautiful and charming coastal town. With Mother’s Day approaching, these women are given a second chance at love and finding their happily-ever-after partners.
In Mom Wanted, by Anna J. Stewart, art teacher Claire Bishop’s life is full but she longs for a family she will never have. Agreeing to help out widower, Sully Vaugh, by taking care of his daughter after school, Sully is worried that his little girl, Lindie, is becoming too attached to her favorite teacher. Sully is attempting to protect his daughter from the heartache of loss that nearly destroyed him. Sully hadn’t plan that this vibrant woman would help him want to love again or Lindie’s willpower to decide Claire is the perfect mom for her.
In Father Wanted by Kayla Perrin, Jazzy Dunbar enjoys being a single mom, proving that she didn’t need a man to have it all. Jeremiah Caldwell is a good friend to Jazzy and was the perfect sperm donor for her baby. Jazzy believed he was happy with their “no strings attached” relationship and sometime-father for baby Caleb, but with all the attention he’s been giving her she’s being to wonder. Jazzy is afraid of ruining their friendship by allowing their magnetic attraction to grow, but when Jazzy becomes seriously ill, Jeremiah just might be able to prove that they can be friends while loving each other and becoming the perfect family.
In Hero Wanted by Melinda Curtis, single mom Leah Martin needs to find a date for her ex-husband’s wedding. She was requested to be there, at the last minute, because their son is the ringbearer and she’s to make sure he behaves. As a florist, Leah has no time to date, especially so close to Mother’s Day, so she agrees to let her friends set her up for a blind date. Hank DeLeon’s bar shares an alley with Leah’s florist shop, making it perfect for the restaurant, provided Leah is willing to relocate. Going on a blind date with Leah, Hank wonders if this is his chance to discuss the business proposition or attempt to impress and woo Leah; turning into the possibility for finding his forever love.
In Family Wanted by Cari Lynn Webb, former accountant Paige Duffy moved to Sea Glass Bay to create and sell handmade candles after a corporate restructuring eliminated her job. Her severance pay is running out and Paige finds herself pregnant after a one night stand with her best friend. Charter boat owner Gavin Cole lost his grandfather six months ago, promising he would pursue his dreams of sailing the open ocean. Upon learning that Paige is pregnant with his child, Gavin must which adventure he truly wants; the one he’s always dreamed of or the one he never believed was possible.
Anna J. Stewart, Kayla Perrin, Melinda Curtis, and Cari Lynn Webb wrote beautiful contemporary romance novellas that are not to be missed. These tales are rich with kindness, magnetic attraction, off the charts chemistry, great conversations, and endearing characters giving these women and their partners a chance at finding a forever love. I highly recommend the stories in A Second Chance for Love anthology.

Five talented authors tell the story of close knit friends that find love when they least in the town of Sea Glass Bay in these four novellas. Best read in order .

But what happens when the unthinkable occurs? Should they take a leap of faith to find their HEA and a family for the three of them? Or, will fear keep them from being a family?
FATHER WANTED-Kayla Perrin
Jazzy Dunbar wanted a child without the complications of a relationship. Jeremiah Caldwell was not interested in complications but was willing to father a child.

You get four books in this boxset which are all based in Sea Glass Bay and about the guys and gals who think that love isn't going to happen to them anymore.
MOM WANTED will melt your heart with how ridiculously cute Lindie is and while you feel the push/pull between Sully and Claire they really just need to listen to Lindie! But getting over your past takes time and sometimes a big shock to make it clear what you really want.
Then you have FATHER WANTED now I will be honest and say I felt Jazzy was being a bit selfish about everything but I also get it why and also knew Jeremiah needed the chance to really show her how much she and Caleb meant to him but oh boy did I worry about how bad that situation would be!
Next up is HERO WANTED and oh the laughs I had with this one in regards to Hanks and the way he slid into those dates and then Leah's friendship with Marisol was soo sweet. Both Leah and Hank are awkward with the whole dating thing and you hope Hank's ideas for Leah's isn't going to blow up in his face as they make such the perfect match!
Lastly we have FAMILY WANTED and I dare you not to love Paige, she is finally doing something she loves after the rat race of her old life and learning of the support and friendship her friend Gavin's Grandad had provided her is so sweet, but lets not forget Aunt Trudy and Benita those old gals are just amazing. Gavin really needs to listen to his friends as for guys they actually are spot on with their "friend analogy" as well as reflect on what his dream really is as I don't think Grandad would be impressed with how he is dealing with Paige and their baby. You know Paige is strong enough and has loads of support to do it on her own but Gavin loves her if only he can get out of his head and lead with his heart!!
Once you have read all four stories you get to the Epilogue and well I was all damn smiles seeing everyone together as one big family and Trudy, Benita and Marisol who I see as the Matriarch's of the Sea Glass Bay family!

Fans of sweet contemporary romances will find much to love in this heartwarming anthology. In “Mom Wanted” by Anna J. Stewart, when young Lindie Vaughn hires art school teacher Claire Bishop as her “after-school adult,” it prompts Lindie’s father Sully to rethink his own plans for the future. Jazzy Dunbar was perfectly happy to have her friend Jeremiah Caldwell’s help conceiving her son Caleb, but now Jeremiah wants to play a permanent role in both Jazzy’s and Caleb’s lives in Kayla Perrin’s “Father Wanted.” In Melinda Curtis’ “Hero Wanted,” Leah Martin needs a “hot” man to take her ex-husband’s upcoming wedding, but why is that all of Leah’s friends keep setting her up with grumpy bar owner Hank DeLeon? Paige Duffy struggles with telling her best friend Gavin Cole that their one-night stand has some unintended results since this could scuttle Gavin’s plans to leave town and head for the open seas in “Family Wanted,” by Cari Lynn Webb. The short story format can be challenging, but to their considerable credit, each author’s skillful handing of the romantic relationship in her own contribution to this engaging anthology means readers of A Second Chance for Love are guaranteed to come away with four equally emotionally compelling love stories that not only celebrate love but also champion the importance of family and friends in life. Fans of small-town romances will also especially appreciate the deft manner in which each author captures the endearing charm and easygoing pace of life in Sea Glass Bay.

Mom wanted- Anna J. Stewart
Cute love story with a little girl that has enough sass to keep you turning the pages. I really liked Claire she has a big heart willing to just love on those closest to her.
Father wanted- Kayla Perrin
Finding love in the most unconventional way. The only thing I wish about this story was that the author gave more of Jeremiah’s side of the story.
Hero Wanted-Melinda Curtis
Marisol is a sweet mama who is hard not to fall in love with, she just seems to take everyone who she cares for under her wing. Leah is a pistol and speaks her mind, sometimes but only when it matters. Charlie I would like to punch.
Family Wanted-Cari Lynn Webb
Marisol is back in this story just as sweet as can be, being the mother hen to a bunch of friends who either lack a mom or mom is out of the picture. I like Paige she feels like a bit of a free spirit but super grounded and loves her aunts. Gavin seems flighty but also seems unsure of what’s next in life and how to go about grabbing hold and going along for the ride.
Overall I really enjoyed these four stories, each one stood out for different reasons but overall it was neat to read about close friendships that mean the world to each person and about making "family" and how family doesn't always share the same blood. All the books are kept clean read and suitable for all. Well worth the reads!!!

If you're a fan of sweet, small-town romance, liberally sprinkled with humor and heart, supportive female friendships, second chances at love, engaging characters, and a solid family foundation (in whatever form that may take), you'll want to pick up a copy of A Second Chance for Love.
Stewart, Perrin, Curtis, and Webb all bring their own unique spin to these stories while also giving readers a seamless transition from couple to couple, maintaining consistency among the characters as well as the setting. I enjoyed the different relationships that played out over the course of all four stories. I became invested in the four main couples, but also in several secondary characters. I'm curious to know if there are more anthologies planned for this quartet, or possibly more stories for certain characters by individual authors? I'd certainly be in line to buy them.
This anthology is a bit like a box of assorted sweets. There are varied tropes, diverse characters, and heroines (and heroes) at different stages of their lives. You may have your personal favorite but they're all equally good and sure to satisfy.

A Second Chance for Love: A Sea Glass Bay Romance Book by Anna J Stewart, Kayla Perrin, Melinda Curtis, Cari Lynn Webb is four novellas connected because the main characters are five close friends. The five stories are MOM WANTED by Anna J Stewart,FATHER WANTED by Kayla Perrin,HERO WANTED by Melinda Curtis,FAMILY WANTED by Cari Lynn Webb. the compliment each other but would have done as stand alone. The stories connect thru the friends and town of Sea Glass Bay which keep you in touch the characters in the other stories. I enjoyed that each novella showed a strong family connect and friend connect. Each woman is stronger because of the town and her friends as well as family. The characters are well developed and realistic. The town of Sea Glass reminds me of several small coastal towns that I have visited. I have read Melinda Curtis, Cari Lynn Webb and Ann J Stewart before but Kayla Perrin is new to me. I enjoyed all four of them so I am sure I will be adding Kayla Perrin to my list of authors that I follow as the rest are on the list.

This anthology takes place in Sea Glass Bay and is in celebration of Mother's Day. Four talented authors have come together to give us this book filled with romance and love. I enjoyed all four stories. The common tie is the friendship between these ladies. I loved how they support each other. The characters are so full of life. They each have a dream. I wanted them to find what their hearts desired. The books flowed together beautifully. The setting is inviting. The dialogue is smart and sassy. For example in Hero Wanted Melinda Curtis created a feel good romance. Leah Martin is a divorced mom who has been invited to her ex-husband's wedding. Now she needs a plus one. That's not easy when you're not dating and you are raising a rambunctious little boy. I laughed when her friends kept setting her up with a blind date. She kept ending up with Hank DeLeon. Their attraction is obvious but their dates always end on a bad note. I couldn't believe what kept happening. Would they ever get together? I enjoyed all the romances in A Second Chance Love. It was a perfect.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

A second Chance for Love is a heartwarming anthology full of love and the importance of family. I enjoyed all the stories. Kayla Perrin's Father Wanted introduces Jazzy Dunbar, baby Caleb and Caleb's daddy Jeremiah and how they became a family. Anna J. Stewart's Mom Wanted introduces Claire Bishop and how she and Sully along with Sully's daughter Lindie became a family. Carrie Lynn Webb's Family Wanted introduces Paige who discovers she is pregnant after one night with her best friend Gavin and how they discover what they wanted most was love for each other and their baby.
My favorite story in this anthology is Melinda Curtis' Hero Wanted. Leah Martin needs a plus-one for her ex-husband's wedding. Their son Owen is going to be the ring bearer at the wedding and Leah is sure her invitation is only to have someone there to watch Owen. Leah's friends suggest Leah arrive with a hot date. How her friends go about setting her up with blind dates which end up being very surprising makes for a fun read.

I enjoyed this anthology of 4 stories about best friends living at a beachside town. They were 30ish women who had been burned in relationship and didn't really want to try again but in each instance either wanted to be a mother or were mothers and wished they had a partner alongside them. I really wanted to live in this town! It sounded amazing! Wonderful people and beautiful sights! The little kids that were part of the book will steal your heart too! Paige, Jazzy, Claire and Leah are all women who are independent and strong but so caring and loving. The men they end up with are just right for them - they let them continue to be who they are and that's important! I hope we get to see more stories set in this beachside town!

One book, four stories, four authors. The stories have a main theme in common, they all take place in a small town on the ocean – Sea Glass Bay. Each story is unique on its own, but flow together seamlessly. Each author has a unique voice, yet they come together to make Mother’s Day the overall theme and finding happy-ever-afters. I enjoyed reading each story and can’t pick a favourite as they were all heartwarming and emotional. A great combination of authors and stories. Reviewed for Still Moments Magazine.

These four authors have written a wonderful book. It always amazes me how different authors can write a series and put it together like this. This is a must read book.
They make you fall in love with the characters so that you have to continue reading the book. Kayla Perrin was a new author for me. I have loved every book that Melinda Curtis has written that I have read. Carrie Lynn and Anna are authors that I have read a few books from. These are all authors that you should read.

4 short stories about best friends who live in Sea Glass Bay. They all deserve to be happy and have a second chance at love. Anna Stewart writes Mom Wanted, Kayla Perrin, Father wanted. Melinda Curtis, Hero Wanted and Cari Webb Family wanted. Several of these authors are new to me but I enjoyed all 4 stories and the way they were interwoven. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Four very sweet stories of second chances. Four friends find love in unexpected ways. The four women are very independent and self-sufficient, but love kind of sneaks up on them. The men too are not looking for anything permanent, but it happens. They have not had the best examples and wonder if long-term is for them. Do they have what it takes to make it?

Great friendship stories
What a warm, fun, finding-your-significant-other group of stories! It’s all about friends – both female and male – that sort of stumble into relationships, when one or both partners aren’t looking for one. I thought Claire was superwoman, imho, as she was an amazing friend, teacher, and mentor to everyone. Throw in six year old Lindie, and her dad, Sully, and it was a truly heartwarming, grab you right in the feels story. Claire and Sully make a great couple but they both have traumas in their backgrounds that makes it hard for them to move forward. Enter Lindie, and the little whirlwind makes them jump to her wishes. In a good way. Loved Mom Wanted by Anna J. Stewart.
In Father Wanted by Kayla Perrin, Jazzy and her son Caleb are learning to be a family. Caleb is a newborn but the love of Jazzy’s life. Caleb’s father is Jeremiah but you’ll have to read the story to get the background. Jeremiah is there for both Jazzy and Caleb especially when they both really need help. I loved Jeremiah and Jazzy is running scared… Really sweet story.
In Hero Wanted by Melinda Curtis, Leah is dealing with an ex-husband of the worst kind and his super chic new girlfriend. Leah and her ex have a child together, little Owen (who is a cutie) but as often happens, Owen is most important to Leah – not exactly a priority for Leah’s ex. Great story for Leah – she keeps getting fixed up for blind dates to take to her ex’s wedding but they always seem to be the same person, Hank (Henry). Leah is a strong character and puts Hank in his place, more than once. Hank is a little clueless at times but in a very sweet way. Good story!
Family Wanted by Cari Lynn Webb is about Paige and her best friend, Gavin…only they aren’t seeing one another romantically…well, except for that one time. And Paige turns up pregnant! Paige and Gavin both have (let’s call it) abandonment issues and also dealing with expectations set for them long ago. I love the ending to this story where Gavin gets advice from the other guys. It will be pretty funny, in an ironic kinda way, as they now consider themselves “experts”. Cute! I enjoyed this one as well.
There’s an Epilogue and it ties up the stories and gave me closure. Great group of stories!

This is a lovely collection of stories taking place in the same town, each focusing on two people that will find their Happily Ever After. I have read books by two of the authors previously, and enjoying getting a sample of the other author’s styles. All the stories worked well together and I found the writing styles similar, which bought them all together very nicely. Although it is difficult to pick a favorite, I would choice Melinda Curtis’ story since I adored her humor throughout it.
