SEASON OF SECOND CHANCES

SEASON OF SECOND CHANCES              BRIGHTON WALSH
Posted:  Dec. 9, 2013

  When a storm strands Claire Hanlin in Chicago on Christmas Eve, the last person she expects to come to her rescue is Logan Dawes, the man she almost married two years ago. The chemistry between them is dangerously potent, but with nowhere else to go, Claire accepts Logan's offer to stay with him for the night.

Back in the home they shared, surrounded by reminders of Logan and his young daughter, Claire begins to realize how much she misses the family she almost had. After a few cups of Christmas cheer, she falls right back into her ex's arms-even though she knows it means setting herself up for heartbreak all over again.

The magic of the season has thrown him together with the woman he's never stopped loving, and Logan's not about to pass up this gift. He's not the workaholic he was two years ago-his family comes first. Now all he has to do is prove it to Claire, before the snow stops and she flies out of his life for good.


MY REVI

This is about a couple who have history with each other not a long history but still a romantic whirl wind one.  After two years it was over though because Logan Dawes could not seem to remember why he fell in love with Claire Hanlin for.  Claire from San Diego, California was in Chicago on business and meets Logan.  They hit it off but once she finds out he has a daughter from a past ex-girlfriend she begs off on a relationship.  Her sister’s husband’s ex was and is a bitch on wheels.

     Then Logan brings Sophie on site for a daddy and daughter lunch and it was love at first site for Claire.  When Logan sees how this woman who has no children experience to her history feels about her daughter and how they interact together, (having tea parties, dress-up, & reading together), that was it her asked her to marry him.  She said yes.

     Owning his highly successful company was a balance act Logan was not good at and it was causing a strain on their relationship.  She knew she would never be first in their relationship nor would she want to she knew Sophie came first as she should.  Yet, she wasn’t even second, the job was more and more important than she was.

     Then Claire’s grandmother becomes ill, the grandmother that was there for her and her sister when their parents died.  So, she went to be with her.  It ended up being two months.  Logan didn’t understand and was being pissy.  When she needed him the most he couldn’t do it.  So, the relationship was ended, he didn’t even come to her grandmother’s funeral he sent her flowers.  By then it was too late anyways.

     Now she is stuck in an airport in Chicago the same airport she said goodbye to him in when she went to her grandmothers and memories are killing her.  Not to mention that today is Christmas Eve and her birthday and she cannot be in Denver with her family like she had planned.

She is snowed in at the one place she would never come back to if she didn’t have to.  When all of a sudden a very familiar voice speaks to her one she would know anywhere.  You have got it Logan.  If you want to find out what happens you’ll have to read it and find out.  But let’s just say it sizzles under the Christmas tree. 

     I did enjoy this book, the turmoil that pings back and forth between these two you can feel in your gut at times all the way to your bones.  Provided by netgalley.com
