One More Time: A Second Chance Romance by Rye Hart

   Love On The High Sea

Rhett and Chanel were high school sweethearts till he broke her heart on prom night. The next day he left to join the Navy but never forgot about her.  Meanwhile Chanel carried on as best as she could although he still held her heart – however broken it was when he cheated on her as she was lead to believe.  It’s a ten year class reunion but Rhett has done very well for himself and is now very wealthy so pays for the reunion to be on a cruise ship.  he conveniently has the cabin right next to Chanel. They agree to take part in an auction and have abet between them as to who will get the bigger bid.  I loved Rhett from the beginning but Chanel took a while to get used to her as she seemed so emotionally immature.   He wants to do anything he can to make things right between them as he loves her and the more time he spends with her the deeper his love grows.  This story is a whirlwind of emotions from heartbreak at the beginning to hope, to lust, to suspense as there is a stalker aboard, to passion, to hopefully ever lasting love.  Their best friends Anna and Tommy were interesting characters to say the least and I found them very irritating but their hearts were in the right place.  The bonus story involves stepbrother and stepsister and is very steamy.  Rhett and Chanel in any room causes the air to sizzle as the chemistry between them is so HOT so be prepared to ‘experience’ passionate encounters between the two of them. I loved this story and the bonus book and look forward to rye’s next romantic adventure.  Beautifully written by Rye Hart with great character development, some great misunderstandings to be rectified, suspense and the agony of passion not acted upon.  I received a free copy of this book and leave my honest review of it here.  I encourage you to grab a copy of this yourself and enjoy the romantic adventures.

His Promise by Eddie Cleveland

   A Fleeting Glimpse Of Love

Colt is a good guy. An ex Navy SEAL who has a very successful business and charity that he set up for Families of Fallen Heroes.  He meets Isabella at a charity function and the attraction between them was instant but so bad timing.  They don’t see each other next for two years at her best friend, Julia’s, wedding where her parents will also be attending. This is going to be difficult for Isabella as she no longer sees her parents.  Isabella is so sweet and finds it difficult to believe that Colt is really interested in her but their attraction is just taking off when he gets a call which leads to him having to go because of an emergence.  Poor Isabella thinks that that is that and she won’t see him again.  But she has underestimated Colt’s feelings for her.  No one, not even Madison with all her dirty tricks, is going to stop these two passionate people from discovering whether they belong together. Eddie Cleveland writes with passion and sensitivity.  The storyline is believable and so are the characters. I felt so sorry for Colt and Isabella when they first met but circumstances prevented them from going out together.  I laughed whilst reading this story and I needed a hankie at times. But it was all so beautifully woven together with two wonderful people who deserve each other.  Don’t forget, of course, that there was plenty of drama, family issues, passion, and twists that caught my imagination and so I ended up reading this all in one go – and it was well worth losing a few hours sleep into the wee small hours of the morning!  I have read this story before and loved it back then. This second reading was even better as I understood more about the ‘people’ whilst I read it over again.  A fabulous story by a terrific writer.  I look forward to reading many more stories by Eddie and encourage you to try this and his other stories too! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
