Books from the Backlog - Second Chance Summer


Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog.  I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!  Today in the dusty recesses of my Kindle I have discovered a book that's calling to be read - Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis.

The Blurb:  Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it's the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there's an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .

Why It Needs to Come Off My Shelf:  This is actually a review book that's been hiding on my Kindle far too long.  I really enjoy Shalvis' contemporary romances and I have no idea what's taken me so long to actually get to this one.  I did read the last one in this series (trilogy?) and spent most of the book wanting to shriek at the heroine so that could be part of the reason for my hesitation.

  2. I'm going to try and get to review books quicker this coming year. But I am always finding something to read at home or the library gets one in so my stack grows!

  3. I enjoy her novels too. I can see why you hesitate though after reading the other book in the trilogy given how the previous heroine made you feel. I hope you enjoy this one when you get to it, Katherine.

  4. I've had similar responses to one or two of her books, but then the next one would make me love her all over again. I hope you enjoy this one!

  7. I love Shalvis but am relatively new to her. This looks good! I generally discover books on my kindle when I go to buy them and Amazon reminds me I purchased said book on November 3, 2015...bwahaha.

  10. I think that this book was the first Shalvis book that I ever read. I did enjoy it quite a bit. So much so that I found myself soon hooked on Shalvis :) I hope you enjoy this one, Katherine!
