Blog Tour: Life's Second Chances by Anne Stone



ADD TO YOUR GOODREADS TBR




Angelina Samuels has lost the only job she’s ever held. A last minute interview lands her a new teaching job just days before the school year is about to begin. It turns out to be the best thing that could have happened when she realizes that her best friend from college, Gabriella Alvarez, is also a member of the teaching staff. 

Gabriella’s brother, Alejandro, relocates to his hometown after having lived away from family and friends since he left for college to become a renowned transplant surgeon. He’s settling into a new job, reacquainting himself with family and friends, and is learning to deal ever-so-slowly with the personal loss that forever changed his life. 

When Angelina’s sister experiences a health crisis, Alejandro is there to support her and her family. And when Angelina herself experiences a personal tragedy, Alejandro is the only one to guide her through it. As love stares down at them, can Angelina help Alejandro take that second chance on love and marriage?

"What the hell happened here? It looks like the wrapping fairies lost their way."
He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the couch where it, too, was covered with tissue paper, tags, and other supplies. "I see you need my help with this simple task."
"Simple? You call this simple? Look at all of these gifts. I think they've multiplied three-fold since we went shopping."
He continued laughing. "Well, I have to be honest. I did add a few. But why are so many packages in different stages of being wrapped?"
She glanced at him. He knew she'd have a good reason at least what she thought was a good reason.
"Well," she said as she looked at him and then about the room at the packages. "Ah, to tell you the truth, I don*t know why. I thought I'd finished wrapping that one," she said as she pointed to the package half-wrapped, "but then I found the perfect paper for another gift." She looked back at him and watched his face. He was giggling and was ready to break into another fit of hysterics.
"I don't know. I guess I lost my focus," she said as she also started laughing.

Life’s Second Chances by Anne Stone was given to me as an ARC for an honest review.  This is the first book that I have read by this author and I gave the book 4 stars because it was a good book there were just parts of it that seemed to be missing or that could have been more detailed.  I loved the storyline behind the whole story of just never giving up hope and just because at the time the situation that you are going through is the worst thing possible that there is a chance for that second time of happiness.  You have Alejandro who had came home to be around family again after suffering a huge tragedy and he finally meets someone who he has known for years.  I love the protective nature that he has of Angelina right of the bat.  Angelina you just can’t help but love her she is completely fierce for her family but she rather suffer alone then have them sorry or suffer with her.  What I didn’t like about this book is that the time frame was a little hard to keep up with it felt to me that sometimes there were gaps in the time that should have been filled in.  While you understand Alejandro and Angelina’s relationship and where it is going I feel like there should have been more details about their relationship and how it progressed instead I felt like I was drawing in my own conclusions at time.  All in all though it is a good book that will but your emotions to the test I know it has changed how I think about second chances.

Anne Stone has been a fan of romance since reading Katherine by Anya Seton her senior year of high school. In college, she penned her first novel which ended up at the bottom of a desk drawer after being rejected by a publishing house. She’s constantly dabbled in drafting stories but her career always seemed to get in the way. Anne decided to take the plunge and self-publish. Self-publishing allows her to write the kind of book that she enjoys reading and doesn’t put a limit on her creativity. Originally from St. Louis, Anne currently resides in Wisconsin with her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
