Second Chance at Life and Love Romance

This was a cute second chance at life and love romance. There was an instant attraction between Bowie and Katie, but he was determined not to let his heart get involved again after his highschool sweetheart Brandy died. As a heart replacement recipient Katie knows that life is fleeting, so she created a bucket list and takes life one day at time. She said she was fine with just a good time with Bowie, but it was apparent early on that her feelings ran deep. He was so sweet about her chest scar especially since he was riddled with scars after his military service. Doc and the residents of Aspen Cove were funny and I loved how they took Katie in as one of their own. The recitation seemed a little monotone at times, but the narrator’s inflections for some of the characters was funny.

Sweet

Sweet story that hits you in the heart. Emotional scenes that you are either laughing or crying.

Love at its best

I enjoyed the story very much. I thought it would be too drawn out, but it moved along at a steady pace. The characters were warm and sensitive. I loved Katie’s view on life. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Katie and Bowie

Wow book 2 in this series is another great story. This one has a very tender background. These stories all fit well together. Narration is great.
Sisters Spotlight 💕

Another great addition!

This was my second title by this author and I highly enjoyed the story and narration. I liked getting more of the first books couple intertwined in this story as well as some lead up the next book in the series.
