If by some miracle you avoid falling for Griffin, I guarantee you will be swept away by his family. And the town...sigh, there's even more encouragement to fall and fall hard.

That Second Chance is a small town romance with quirky people, helicopter families, and too many brothers! Ok, not really but when they hang up on you it feels that way!

It's sweet and everything you need to give you warm fuzzies. Small town living and nosy neighbors with a rampant rumor mill make this town a gem for awkward situations. Add in some delicious eye candy...in quadruple and well, I'm moving to Port Snow.

I was so excited when I learnt that Meghan Quinn was starting a new series about the Knightly brothers and couldn’t wait to dive in.
What a great read this one was; I was hooked from the first chapter to the last and couldn’t put this book down; I was totally immersed in the story that Meghan Quinn wove and Port Snow, Maine (love the name).
I had so many laugh out loud moments reading this book that I am sure the people around me thought I was a lunatic. There is absolutely nothing that I would change about That Second Chance, I loved it.
The chemistry between Griffin Knightly and Ren Winters was electrifying and you could almost feel it as you were reading. I loved the camaraderie between Griffin and his younger brother and parents.
Griffin was such a charismatic hero that I couldn't help but fall for him. I loved how feisty and sassy Ren is; in fact I just loved everything about the characters and the story.
That Second Chance ticked all the boxes for me, it is a story of love, hope and acceptance and was at times a bit of an emotional roller coaster and I cannot wait for more in this exciting new series.
I received a copy of this book through the publisher via NetGalley.

WOW WOW WOW!!! This book BLEW me away! I have always been a fan of Meghan's quirky romances but this is in a league of it's own! The Virgin Romance novelist has always been my favorite book of hers (and I have read nearly all of them), but this one? I think it's my new TOP favorite of all of her books. This is the type of book that leaves butterflies in your belly and a smile plastered to your face. This book has emotion, raw and unfiltered, and a whole lot of heart. It's also memorable, sweet, and addicting- I simply couldn't get enough of Griffin and Ren's story and I didn't want to stop reading. Based on all of this (I am truly fangirling right now) I would HIGHLY recommend That Second Chance to everyone!

Meghan Quinn has not only written a heartfelt and captivating story here, but the setting is absolutely perfect! I could practically feel the salt on my skin coming off the ocean and smell the lobster and seafood. Having grown up in Maine during the summer months I know exactly what Port Snow is like! A beautiful small town with gossipy residents and beautiful views. I felt like I was living within the pages. It really brings back all my memories of being in Maine (mainly in the area of Sabego lake).

One last thing that really thrilled me with this book is how Meghan sets us up for the next book- Rogan's story. I cannot wait to see how he maneuvers with this "curse" hanging over his head and his high school sweetheart/ex fiance suddenly showing back up in his life. Oh boy, this is going to be soooo good!

That being said, if you enjoy books about sweet, small town love, family, friendships, and second chances when it comes to finding love again, I suggest grabbing a copy of this book. This is one of my top 5 favorite books of the year and I have a feeling I am going to going right back and reading it all over again because it gives off all those feels we romance readers crave in our novels. Even more, this may be Meghan's best book yet (and for me, that's saying a lot because I have love each and every one of her books to pieces).

Ms. Quinn can write no wrong!


This story has everything that is classic Meghan Quinn. You get heart, you get heat and you get hilarity.
I am so in love with the Knightly family! And this story introduces us to them all!  While this story centers around Griffin Knightly you also get a feel for every family member.


The fictional town of Port Snow is just magical!  Ms. Quinn's writing puts the reader right on Main Street.  Grabbing a cup of coffee at Snow Road or getting some delicious crab cakes at Jake's Cakes you feel like you are right there!  That is such a testament to the fantastic writing of an amazing author. The picture she paints with her words is just perfect and scenic!


You get a bit of angst with this story too, which I am a fan of.  It's not all hearts and flowers.  It feels real and sometimes heartbreaking, but it makes the story so much more.
I cannot wait to read more from this lovely little town and the lovely families that inhabit it.  This is just the beginning of what I hope to be multiple stories from this town and the Knightly family!


I have said this before, but it's worth saying again....you cannot go wrong with reading a Meghan Quinn story!

I haven't read much of Quinn's newer books lately. So, when the opportunity to read this one, I jumped on it. I am a sucker for small town stories.

I jumped right into this book, hooked from the start. The book starts with a drunken night that left me chuckling. It leads into some fun and some heartbreaking moments. All of the inbetween kept me turning the pages.

I enjoyed all of the characters in this book. Ren and Griffin's story has a little bit of everything in it. There are some funny times, some sweet times, some sexy times, some heartbreaking times... My drawback with the characters is Ren. I felt for a character her age, her over-reactions were a bit much, immature. I wasn't feeling some of her responses to certain situations.

While I was excited for that ah-ha moment for Griffin in this book, it didn't leave me with what I had hoped for. It felt a bit cheesey, rushed, and forced. It was like, "oh, duh, why didn't I think of that" and everything was all of a sudden right with the world. I needed it to be a bit more of a complex discovery at that moment.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I am most certainly looking forward to the upcoming books in this series. I can't wait to see what is in store for the other brothers.

5 stars

Ahhhh I loved this book!!!

Ren and Griffin are amazing characters.

Ren needs a new start in life after a bad car accident last year she moves to Port Snow to start over only she doesn’t get off to the best start when a moose decides to run at her car.

Griffin has not had the best couple of years, he is still grieving and blaming himself but when he meets Ren he is struck and has a hard time staying away from her.

Can Ren break down Griffin’s walls? Will he be able to get over the past?

I cannot wait for more from the Knightly brothers!!!

That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn is the first book where we get to meet the Knightley brothers. I fell in love with them and with this small town in Maine. The book is set in Port Snow, Maine where everyone knows your name, is full of gossip and exaggerated stories and the good looking Knightley brothers.

This story will grab your heart, make you smile and make you swoon for Griffin Knightley. Griffin believes he will never love again thanks to a curse and fateful night in New Orleans. His family hopes that he can move on and start a new life. They meddle to help him along the way.

Ren moves to Port Snow to start a new life as the HS’s new Algebra teacher. She has a run in with a moose, and Griffin comes to her rescue. Their chemistry is immediate. They become friends and Griffin helps her to learn about Port Snow and all its charms and people.

From the start, Ren likes Griffin, but can he give in to temptation or will the curse prevent them from finding their happily ever after.

That Second Chance is a second chance rom-com at its finest. If you are a Meghan Quinn fan or haven’t read her yet (you must), take a visit to Port Snow and the Knightley brothers! You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to read more about these hunky brothers.

4.5⭐
That Second Chance was an extremely delightful, absorbing and entertaining story. That easily captured my attention. Thanks not only to the charming, charismatic and lovable Knightly brothers, but the equally charming and quirky Ren. As well as a storyline that is the perfect mix of tender, sweet and funny.

And honestly, I could not put it down and really can't wait to read more from this series in the future.

Would happily recommend.

Holy hotness, another freaking fantastic book by Meghan Quinn!

Ren moves to Port Snow, a small town on the coast.

Griffin, born in said town, hot guy, working in the family business, troubled sad past, feels something for the first time for a woman again after 2 years.
Can he overcome his troubles?

Absolutely swoon worthy small town novel. You have your laugh out loud moments, tears are rolling down your face, sweating hot scenes, just everything! Meghan absolutely knows how to capture your attention. Can’t wait to read about the brothers!!!

I kindly received an arc for an honest review

am not a fan of your typical second chance romance books, but this is so different. I loved every moment of this one. I just love Griffin and his big heart. Ren is amazing also. She's funny as can be. I was laughing out loud from the very beginning.

The more I read from Meghan Quinn, the more I love her writing. I think it gets better and better with each book she writes. I find myself laughing so much and just falling in love with the characters!
That Second Chance was the perfect, small-town romance and it was filled with heart and soul

I'm definitely in the minority, but I didn't love this book. I liked it, and the town, family and friends were all great. But Griffen's belief in and reaction to the curse were just too unbelievable for me. And the withholding of info was rediculous. I will definitely look for the next in the series, but this one was just ok for me.

After Griffin and his brothers have a drunken encounter with a fortune teller in New Orleans, they return home to their small town of Port Snow, Maine. When tragedy strikes, Griffin thinks that the love curse cast on them by the fortune teller is real.

Ren, the newest resident and math teacher, arrives in town and needs to be rescued from a car after crashing into a tree while trying to avoid a moose on the road! Enter Griffin.

The two form a friendship that quickly blossoms into more, but Griffin won’t let himself get involved in a relationship that he thinks is doomed to be cursed.

The story is sweet and Meghan Quinn creates a good community of friends and family in the town that was introduced in Two Wedding Crashers. The brothers are all part of the story, and you will recognize people from the prior book. While I enjoyed the story, the hilarious bantering normally found in Meghan’s books was a bit toned down. Having said that, I absolutely believe it has the potential to be a great series.

I loved Port Snow. What a great small town where everybody knows your business. Not that I would want that for myself, but what a great community. I really enjoyed Ren and Griffin. Those two had some serious chemistry between them. So many great moments between them. I also loved that there are 3 other brothers and I can’t wait to read their stories.

That Second Chance was my introduction Meghan Quinn’s writing and I was not disappointed. This story had a wonderful fresh vibe, with a powerful family presence, and exceptional world building too. There was absolutely nothing not to love about the glorious setting in New England and I only wish I could see it first hand. I’m very excited to read more about this extraordinary family and I’m sure each story will make readers laugh and cry regularly.

I love a good second chance romance and I love Meghan Quinn, so I jumped at the chance to get this book early. I really like that this is a different kind of second chance love story because although it is a second chance for both Griffin and Ren, it is not for them as a couple since they just meet in this story. Since his wife died, Griffin has not let himself even entertain the thought of finding love again because he thinks he is cursed. Then a moose intervenes and he meets Ren. Ren has had her own string of bad luck and has moved to the peaceful small town of Port Snow, Maine to start over and hopefully find her place. Despite his best efforts, Griffin cannot seem to stay away from the sweet and funny Ren any more than she can resist the sexy and charming Griffin. Not getting involved seems to be a problem but will his past stop Griffin from having a future with the woman he is falling for?? Things are definitely not smooth sailing for these two but with a little help from the wonderfully meddling Knight family (I can't wait for the rest of their stories!!) they finally find there way to each other and their HEA.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

That Second Chance is a great start to a new series. I absolutely loved the quaint little town Meghan Quinn created. And Griffin's family was wonderful...probably my favorite part of this book. She really gets the readers invested in the whole cast of characters so that we want more of this series.

That Second Chance is the romance of Griffin and Ren. It is a second chance for Griffin as he lost his wife 2 years before. He believes he lost her due to a curse placed on him (and his brothers) to have broken love until they mature. This creates a lot of fear and hesitancy for him.

Ren crashes into Port Snow, literally, and Griffin is the one who rescues her. Now this is where I had to start telling myself that this is fiction so the medical aspects can be far from accurate. That only got worse later but fortunately there was a lot to mask that feeling in between times so I was able to put it on the back burner for a good portion of the book.

I really liked both Ren and Griffin, as well as the secondary characters. I also loved the premise of the curse and how it was handled in the end. The middle of the book seemed just a bit too drawn out, however. Overall, a good read and maybe my favorite Meghan Quinn book thus far.

As a fan of Meghan Quinn already, I was excited to read this book. That Second Chance is an unique story about brother’s bond, curses, small towns and family. Ren has the helicopter parents and is from LA and can’t wait to get away from them. She is looking to spread her wings and teach kids in a small town on the other side of the USA. The Knightley Brothers are well known in Port Snow, Maine and they are so many rumors about them in the small town. Griffin has been through a lot in his life already and isn’t looking for love again. He’s had heart break and is scared of it. He loves his small town and family. This is another great book by Meghan Quinn that will leave you laughing at so many great moments between family and friends. I fell in the love with all the Knightley family and never wanted the book to end. I cried and laughed and just wanted someone to talk about these characters with. She writes characters like these all the time and it’s why I love her books so much. I fell head over heels in love with this book. I give this book, Five stars and I highly recommend this book! I want to move to Port Snow so bad to eat fudge and all the delicious foods in this book!!!

Griff and Ren are the cutest! His gorgeous broken heart melts me. I want to comfort him and love on him so bad! Then we have quirky, nerdy Ren; with her heart of gold and worry wart family. Such a heartwarming and delicious book (can we say I want to try everything spoken about in this book!!!!)

An absolute gem of a book. Filled with romance, emotion and solid story line . I’m a huge fan of Meghan Quinn and I’m so excited to see where this series goes! I love brother series and this gave me huge Nora Roberts vibes.
