Casey is living the worst day of her life... She hates her job, the people she works for/with, and she comes home to find out her husband of 10 years is cheating on her; Instead of being remorseful, he pretty much pushes the knife in deeper.. Luckily, her best friend is there to back her up in every way.

Jason has been in love with Casey since she tutored him in college. On the day he was going to tell her how he felt, he saw her on a date with her now husband. Crushed, after graduation he never saw her again and they lost contact. Jason's back in town and runs into Casey at a coffee shop. The two spend the afternoon together and the feelings they once had start to resurface.

For the most part, the book was good and entertaining. There was a lot going on though... The author spent a lot of time on long details of her husband/OW/his misdeeds against her; yet wraps it up in a page and all is forgiven and forgotten. I mean, it just seemed too easy.. and if that's the case, why make him out to be such a POS and all he had to do was go to therapy, and make amends? A lot of the book could've been slimmed down.

Casey and Jason's Story . . .

Casey Harrison and Jason Walker have a second chance to rekindle the romance they never explored when Casey’s now ex-husband is caught cheating. Not only cheating, but is engaged to the bimbo (who is wearing a gigantic diamond ring) and she is carrying his baby! He had told the woman his wife was dead! So when Casey and Jason meet each other again, they can now express their feelings to the other and give their potential for a loving relationship a chance to develop.

But even with this wonderful opportunity for them, they each have their own drama to deal with. Jason has a crazy stalker (Amber), and Casey’s ex-husband Michael comes around again. Will Casey and Jason’s relationship be strong enough to deal with these negative drama situations that try to pull them apart? Can they keep their relationship growing despite the road bumps in their romance? But you should definitely read this yourself because some major twists and turns will pile on the surprises and you won’t guess them in a million years! Grab your copy and find out if a HEA is possible when the dust settles.

I absolutely loved this read, after Casey finds her douche canoe husband cheating on her among other thigs instead of rolling up in a ball she holds her head up high and makes decisions that are what make her happy for the first time in a long and boy does she deserve some happiness. Fate also brings Casey and Jason back into each others lives and they are soo perfect for each other, but while they are reconnecting Casey's douche canoe keeps being a douche canoe and Jason has one keck of a cray cray delusional women who won't leave him alone.
Not only is this a great story but you have characters you will love including Casey's bestie Dee and Jason's best friend Jack and ones you don't .... you know who I mean lol, there is also some food envy going on and a great HEA.

Second Chances: something that doesn't always happen but when it does it can be life changing. Casey fell in love with Jason when they were in college but things didn't work out for them. Jason was in love with Casey but never let her know. Now years later they get their second chance at love.

Well developed characters and great plot line with lots of twists make this a very interesting read that has you rooting for Casey and Jason as they face situations. A romantic comedy that gives you a delightfully fun, steamy read.

Casey's life has taken a bad turn when she finds out that her husband Michael of ten years is not only cheating but his side piece is pregnant. She picks up the pieces of her life when she runs into Jason who she tutored in college and he now owns some very exclusive restaurants. She has always been crazy about him and he felt the same way but Michael kept them apart. This is a fast paced sweet romance that was a long time coming.

I've read several books written by Becca Baldwin; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story is about Casey & Jason; they were married for ten years when she found out he had been cheating on her so she left. They are brought back together when a stalker came after him.

I found this romance to be quite cute and sweet (well, other than the crazy stalker and the moronic ex). Casey is a total sweetheart and Jason is actually quite the romantic. They did have their ups and downs but somehow managed to get through it all to their HEA. I thought this book was entertaining and fun to read.

This book was really, really well written. I was captivated from the beginning. I was just rooting for the couple and they both had a lot of things to get through. It was well written and glad that it ended the way that it did.

This was a good story that pulled me quick. After Casey's world imploded, she reconnects with Jason, a someone from college. They are perfect for each other, but life likes to take you on a ride of ex-drama twist and stalker dangerous turns that keeps you turning the pages.

This is a well written second chance romance between Casey and Jason. The author brings a cast of strong characters and an interesting story filled with drama, stalking, cheating and a never ending love. It moves fluidly with perfectly painted scenes and is a great read.

This a heartfelt read that will keep in suspense. You know something bad is going to happen, its just a matter of when?! Its like watching a movie when the music changes, leading up to the climax (and not the good kind).

Oh wow her ex of a husband was bad really bad, how could he cheat. But a second chance encounter turns into a beautiful story of real love and more.

[Stacie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The romance between Casey and Jason is given a second chance after Casey finds her husband cheating. Their chance meeting in a coffee shop brings them back together to give their romance a second chance. I really enjoyed Jason’s character. He knows from the beginning that they were meant to be and holds true to that for the entire book. I also enjoyed the drama that his stalker brings to the book. The story was a light and enjoyable read!
