Second Chances by H.M. Ward
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Second Chances was not one of my favorites, and it definitely doesn't compare to the other books I've read by Ward. Most of the book revolves around this forbidden attraction between a 33 year old widow, and her 22 year old lawn boy. There were a few things that were sad, that could possibly elicit an emotional response from the reader, but not enough going on in my opinion, to make the reader invest in the story. Genevieve "Genny" is still grief ridden by the loss of her husband while he was deployed. Her friends, and family want to see her move on, but she has no interest in that at all. Dan was hired by Genevieve's late husband Cade when he was just a teenager. As time went on, and especially after Cade died, he's taken on more to keep Genevieve's house maintained. Genevieve is extremely insecure, and many women are, but I think she is a little excessive with it. It's obvious they are both attracted to one another, but Genevieve is more concerned with what others think, and feelings of betrayal to her husband, than what's right in front of her. Dan is extremely young, but also very mature for his age. Unlike most guys at his age, he has already started his own business, and is almost done with college. Other than a few small events, Second Chances has not plot other than the attraction, and what comes of it.
