I thought it would be a funny book to read and a second chance romance like many others.
But this is spezial and Kyle really has to fight to win Andreas heart back.

He left her two years ago, only left a notice.
Andrea is a writer but has problems with her new story.

Great characters and a very emotional story.

Have fun reading!

Hold onto your hats, romance lovers, because Second Chance with my Bad Boy Ex is about to take you on a wild ride! Picture this: a sassy maid of honor, a brooding bad boy ex, and a wedding that's about to get a whole lot more interesting. From the moment Kyle Monroe strutted back into Andrea's life, I knew this book was going to be a rollercoaster of emotions. But hey, isn't that what we love about rom-coms? Andrea's journey from heartbreak to hope had me cheering from the sidelines, and let me tell you, the chemistry between her and Kyle is hotter than a summer day in the desert. So if you're ready to laugh, swoon, and maybe even shed a tear or two, then do yourself a favor and start reading Second Chance with my Bad Boy Ex today. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I wasn't expecting such a heart felt romance when I read the title of the book but I guess I was too quick to judge the book by its cover literally. The heartbreak was very touching and the narration was emotional. More importantly the second chance felt justified. One thing that I found a little odd (also weird) was the last chapter when the lead characters confess to each other their feelings and have a heartfelt moment, every single paragraph had their names. Both of them were calling the other person by their name before starting every single dialogue and I found it weird. Maybe it was just me. Going with a 3 star.

I love second chance romances. This was a fun and light read. It was enjoyable. Very much enjoyed Tina having Andrea’s back when Kyle wanted a second chance.

This was an easy read and a great way to indulge into a friendly romance. From the perspective of both Andrea and Kyle’s point of view this story came to life while touching on topics such as PTSD, addiction and abandonment.

When Andrea, a writer suffering from writers block had a wedding to attend, the work is not left at home. She brings it along with her as she enjoys the last few weeks with her best friend before her wedding.. or so she thought. Plans change when her ex becomes her next door neighbour at the guest house.

When push comes to shove, all that matters is her best friends big day and all other matters are put aside.. except for when her ex continues to insert himself into her life. With goodbye letters, love letters, acts of service and a couple strums of a guitar. These two were pushed to act civil to save the drama of her best friends wedding.

I want to start by thanking the author and publisher for the chance to read this book. I thought the book started out okay, but I felt like a quarter of the way through it started to drag in certain places and seemed to be a little choppy. It didnt seem to naturally flow and things like the dog missing/the vet visit were drawn out too much for me personally.

This is a very sweet romance about Andrea reconnecting with her ex boyfriend, Kyle, who happens to be her best friend’s brother.

While reconnecting in the weeks before her best friends wedding, Kyle tries to show Andrea he is sorry, and ready to get back together, While Andrea is still hurting from the heartbreak two years ago.

This story is short and sweet, and while I would have loved to get a deeper dive into their past relationship, it was the perfect quick read.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review. Abby Greyson’s Second Chance with my Bad Boy Ex is a sweet quick read. It is what some call closed door romance. I believe the author called it kisses only. Andrea is the maid of honor for her best friend’s wedding. Her ex is also in the bridal party, but Andrea isn’t told that. What’s worse than the heartbreak Kyle caused, he comes back and says I still love you. Andrea really wants to believe him, but she just doesn’t trust him. I really enjoyed this read.

I enjoyed reading Second chance with my bad boy ex. There wasn’t a lot of side character development with the story mainly revolving around Kyle & Andrea. Overall, I thought it was a cute, quick read.

I’m a bit conflicted with this book. It wasn’t terrible, but I felt mislead by the synopsis. Here’s what I mean:

We get mentions of him being her bad boy ex. The only bad boy image we get is the fact he left her. He didn’t even say it to her face; he just left a letter saying he was sorry. We later on get a clearer picture for why he left, but I would have loved to see some flashbacks to those days and why Kyle was so adamant about leaving and bettering himself.

The synopsis also says that Kyle tells Andrea that he still loves her. This doesn’t even happen until the 72% mark in the book. I thought this would happen earlier and the whole book would be about him proving himself to her and winning her back…that’s not exactly how it goes.

A huge aspect of the book is that Andrea is a writer and has writers block. This isn’t mentioned in the synopsis, and I think it does deserve a shoutout since it’s a huge part of Andrea’s personality.

We didn’t get to know the side characters too much. Maybe they are showcased in this author’s other books, so we’re supposed to be familiar with them already. I just felt like there was missing information that had me not fully feeling the chemistry or camaraderie of this group.

I said it before but I really would have loved some flashbacks of Andrea and Kyle. Not just the bad moments, but the good ones too. Why do they love each other? How did they officially meet? What was their first date like? I just wanted more to compete the picture.

This is a quick and sweet novella. I think the elements of great rom-com are in it, but the story needs a bit of reworking. Some parts of the story felt a bit repetitive. I did enjoy the dual POV.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Okay so this book is not that bad and is a nice light read. The plot was okay in my opinion but the writing was juvenile if that’s the right word for it. The way the characters talk is so unnatural. People in real life do not talk like that. The prose also feels stilted. I find the characters likeable but I was kinda of annoyed at our FMC, Andrea because *spoilers* it was so obvious Kyle was the secret admirer?? Also, she had her dog, Axel for five years and Kyle has been in most of her life minus the last two years but it seems odd that Axel has no reaction towards Kyle.
