Second Chance Holiday (A Novella) by Aurora Rose Reynolds

3 STARS

 

 

Overall, it wasn't a bad book. The story had potential and I feel that it fell short of it. I found myself getting bored and skimming through. The beginning caught me right away. I liked Mike and Kat, I likes that they were older, but I would have like to see their relationship build a little bit before they broke up. I read the first half in one sitting before I started getting a little bored. The last few chapters I think is what put it at 3 stars where the beginning halfway 4 stars. I like angst so I was disappointed in how quickly they got back together. Once they were back together the story just became rushed. I did like Brandon's character on it and thought it added a good element to bring some sort of depth to the book.
I didn't like the POV switching, wish I had known that. I don't care for it in any book. I bought this more based on the cover, hoping for a winter/Christmas story and it was nothing's of the sort. If you're looking for a quick light read this is a book for you. If you want more angst and anticipation then I'd stay away.

 

My Last Season With You by SVC Ricketts

I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I adore this book. At first I was unsure of the F/F relationship because it is not something I normally read but it didn't matter. This book is not about that, it's about two people who love each other deeper then friendship. This story had me tearing up the whole time but by the last chapter I was a complete mess! This story reminds you that it's never to late to say I love you nor should you assume your life is over when given a life threatening illness. Anything is possible, anything can and will happen regardless of what you think. This is a story about taking chances. I wish it had been longer because it was just so touching.
