Synopsis
When
a storm strands Claire Hanlin in Chicago on Christmas Eve, the last person she
expects to come to her rescue is Logan Dawes, the man she almost married two
years ago. The chemistry between them is dangerously potent, but with nowhere
else to go, Claire accepts Logan's offer to stay with him for the night.
Back
in the home they shared, surrounded by reminders of Logan and his young
daughter, Claire begins to realize how much she misses the family she almost
had. After a few cups of Christmas cheer, she falls right back into her ex's
arms—even though she knows it means setting herself up for heartbreak all over
again.
The
magic of the season has thrown him together with the woman he's never stopped
loving, and Logan's not about to pass up this gift. He's not the workaholic he
was two years ago—his family comes first. Now all he has to do is prove it to
Claire, before the snow stops and she flies out of his life for good.
My Thoughts
This
is just what I needed in a great Christmas novella. It has lots of love,
forgiveness and the miracle of second chances. Season of Second Chances is a
wonderfully written novella about Claire who is snowed in Chicago and runs into
her ex Logan. We come to find out that Claire and Logan had a long relationship
but have broken up after having different views on life. The last straw for
Claire was when Logan put work over family and wasn’t there when she needed
him.
Fast
forward years later fate has lead them to be at the same place at the same
time. At first Claire refuses to stay with Logan but breaks down when she has
no other options. While spending the next few days snowed in, old memories and
feelings start to overwhelm both of them. Will this time be different or have
things never changed? Is it all in the perfect timing or is this just a sign
that things weren’t meant to be?
To
me this just felt like a real story. As if this could really be happening. We all
want those second chances, the chance to do something that we regretted. I’m a
big believer in those, I hate having those “what-if” thoughts. You know always
wondering if things would’ve been different if you choose to do the opposite of
what you did. I also believe in fate. That things were meant to happen rather
it be for good or bad. Some things in life are just way beyond rational thought
or feelings.
This
is one read that will read true to all of us. We can all find something in here
that we can relate to. So if you want a quick holiday read feel free to pick
this one up it wont disappoint.
