There's something about seeing the Harlequin logo that has me one-clicking, ready to indulge in a great romance. And this author definitely brought me that. This story really got to me.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This is a nice romance read about second chances and relationships. It's a quick read and well written.

What Ria learns when she reaches out to Drew is that he was blinded in a work accident. This man who has always defined himself by his job as a police officer now not only doesn't have his sight, he doesn't have his job and he doesn't have his family.

This is the second book in a series of books about disabled police officers who come to a cabin on the shore to recover not only physically but emotionally. Overall I think the book dealt with the inner emotions of the characters more deeply than the average romance novel does.

I really enjoyed watching Ria and Drew navigate not only their relationship with each other but their relationship with their girls. I also liked the scene where they were considering going to bed with each other and Drew said no, that he wanted to do it right this time.

I'd like to thank the publisher for making a review copy available via NetGalley. Grade: B.

Ria is a single mother who is going through some issues with her teenage daughters and needs the help of her ex the father of her daughters since he used to be the one to get though to them. She never expected to find out he was dealing with his own issues while on the job he was injured to the point where he's pretty much blind. Drew will come back to help his daughters but it seems the old feelings between Ria and him will make things a bit complicated but they are trying their best to keep things from falling apart.

This was a nice little contemporary read. It wasn't much of a romance but more of a second chance at being a family kinda book. Normally I hate when the book has more then the two main characters but there was also the point of views of the daughters and it really did add more to the book. The girls were going through modern teenage issues with social media, body and self image issues and it was interesting seeing how they did things in that part. It was also heart breaking seeing how the teens too things as well. These were things the parents weren't' aware of and I'm glad to have not have been as clueless as they were. The parents were doing as much as they could and the mother had a hard time trying to keep things afloat and be a good mother. The father on the other hand wanted to be there but wasn't and now the blindness just added a new sort of challenge. There is so much going on in this family and it was interesting seeing how everything played out. Overall pretty good book I enjoyed it.

Thank You NetGalley, HARLEQUIN romance and Lee Tobin McClain for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
If you’re in the mood for a classic summer romance, look no further. Fans of Emily Griffin and Elin Hilderbrand’s books will love this book about a second chance at love.
This was my first Lee Tobin McClain book and I am very impressed. Hard topics like a brain injury, bullying, teen suicide and marriage difficulties are all handled with care while still portraying an honest story. I am in my early twenties, unmarried and not a mother so there was only so much of this story that I could personally relate to. That didn’t stop me from getting wholly invested in the Martin family.
This should be your next summer read!

The second in a series, although it can be read as a standalone story, was a bit slow at times. It wrapped up quickly and it was great to see all story elements resolved.

I will say the reader should be aware this deals with a lot of teen angst and issues, including a suicide attempt, teen bullying, cyber bullying, and teenage pregnancy.

Looking forward to Amber's story in book 3 due in December.

I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher in exchange for my honest opinions.
