First Love: A Single Dad Second Chance Romance by Amy Brent

   Does He Deserve A Second Chance With Her?

This is a different type of story for Amy Brent in as much as I really thought the so called hero was not worthy of Melissa the heroine.  Brandon had broken her heart when he went to uni and promised her that he would be back for her. Needless to say he didn’t. he didn’t even make an excuse why.  This heart break for Melissa was the start of her life with depression. She did try to move on and married a wonderful man and they had a beautiful little girl but then he died in a tragic accident and Melissa blames herself for his death as she is so depressed. Her doctor suggests that she try therapy and he suggests that she makes an appointment to see the renowned, Dr Brandon Black.  Brandon is now very successful and uses women for sex and nothing else- no emotions or feelings whatsoever.  That is why I, quite frankly, detested him I would have advised Melissa to run in the opposite direction. However, she goes and this is where the story STARTS.  I found this to be an emotionally upsetting story and I felt so very, very sorry for Melissa as the only bright part of her life is her gorgeous little girl whom she loves above everything.  This is so beautifully written by Amy with such compassion that I was drawn to Melissa’s story right from the very beginning.  Melissa had a long and difficult journey to struggle through and it is treated with great sensitivity and woven into a believable and realistic storyline.  This was a tremendous journey to ‘walk’ with Melissa and I believe that the ending was the right one. I would have liked an epilogue in say five years time to see if the HEA really was that and that they did stay together happily.  I received a free reader’s copy of this book and will be purchasing my own copy to support the author and as I want my own copy of the never published before story by Amy that is included.
