Cassie Chambers, a dedicated youth worker, is determined to rescue the troubled youth in the city of Perth, Australia.

Cassie has made mistakes but hasn’t allowed tragedy or divorce to stop her. She devotes every working hour at Youth Connect. But her own needs are neglected.

Chef Chris Evanson offers work experience to young men from Youth Connect. Cassie and Chris’s encounters become more than sassy bantering with a hint of attraction. Chris is a sincere romantic.

How will Chris respond when he finds out her secret? She must tell him before he falls in love, but will he believe she deserves more than a second chance?

To complicate matters, one of Youth Connect’s troubled teens needs rescuing. She’s pregnant and moves in with Cassie, bringing absolute chaos. Chris gains insight into what life with Cassie involves. Does he still want the total package?

Will Cassie finally find her true soul mate?

More Than A Second Chance is the first in a series of novels featuring women who’ve found themselves single, either widowed or divorced later in life, but hopeful to overcome all setbacks that life has thrown them.

my point of view:

I truly enjoyed this story, so different than a typical romance. The main characters have each been married before, so this means that they have had a bit more life experience than your average 20 something, and that they have lived through some heartache….

That being said, the title is very fitting, for each of them this is more than a second chance at love and life! I scored the.way Cassie has dedicated her life’s work to helping at risk youth. That has always been a passion of mine, and her organization reminds me of a group here in Jacksonville called Daniel’s Kids. I have worked with their teens in the past and Cassie’s work reminded me so much of them! 

I was also quite taken with the setting….I have had the opportunity to read a few stories set in Australia and this one was just as lovely. Makes me truly wish to visit the Country some day! Another wish list item, lol! The best part was watching the journey of these two, and another sublet within the story that is vital to the entire relationship. I highly recommend this powerful “second chance” romance!
