4.5 Star Review by Nicole Lorenzo
This is book two of Grant and
Harlow’s story and should be read after Take A Chance to avoid spoilers! ;)
When Grant finds out about Harlow’s condition his initial reaction is
anger and fear. The thing he is scared most of is losing someone like they did
Jace. Now he finds out that the girl he
loves more than anything is living on borrowed time and never bothered to tell
him. When he comes to the realization that he doesn’t care and he will stand by
her and love her despite her illness it is too late. Harlow has gone into
hiding from the media and refuses to answer any of his calls. When he goes to
her rock star father Kiro Manning, he gets turned away. Grant is at a loss, all
he wants to do is to find her and tell her he loves her and that he is sorry,
but he has no idea where she is.
“I was a bastard,
a heartless bastard. I didn’t deserve her, but I wanted her more than I wanted
to breathe.”
Harlow left Grant and Rosemary Beach behind the day her news story
broke. Now she is laying low and trying to keep away from the media’s prying
eyes. She is heartbroken over Grants reaction to her secret. She regrets not
telling him before he saw it on the news but she wanted to avoid the inevitable
once he learned the truth. She misses him like crazy but her situation just got
more precarious and she knows now more than ever that he wouldn’t be able to
handle it. When her brother Mase tips
off Grant to where she is, he comes as fast as he can to be by her side again,
giving Harlow the hope that maybe they can have a future after all.
“My heart has
always been weak, but loving Grant made it strong.”
When Grant finds Harlow he has every intention of talking her into
making certain decisions he feels is best for her current medical condition.
Harlow on the other hand is not having any of it. She is strong willed, and a
fighter. She had been living a sheltered life until she met Grant and really
felt alive for the first time in forever. Grant, although scared of losing her,
takes care of Harlow to the best of his ability. Together they take a journey
full of growth, trust, fear and love. Where their future is uncertain and their
love may not be enough to lead them to their happy ending.
“I
don’t accept that I won’t get forever with you.”
One More Chance is the 2nd book to Grants and Harlow’s
story in the Rosemary Beach series. It was really hard to give a spoiler free
review for this book but believe me you want to take a ride and enjoy the
rollercoaster of emotions you will feel while reading this! I cried, a lot! I
laughed, I yelled, I loved it. I was so nervous at times I didn’t want to
finish it because I was afraid of the outcome.
Grant and Harlow do a lot of
growing in this book. Individually and as a couple. They both had to learn to
trust each other but in different ways. Harlow had to trust that Grant truly
loves her and was not going to go back to Nan or to his playboy ways. Grant has
to trust that Harlow knows what she is doing concerning her health, no matter
how hard it is for him. He also had to let go of the fears that held him back
from loving completely. The connection that these two share is intense and it
was immediate from the first time they laid eyes on each other, that’s still
the case. With everything going on they didn’t lose that. We see all of our
other favorite characters from the previous books, even the dreadful Nan. I
can’t express how much I hate Nan, but we see a different side of her here,
something that makes you think that maybe there is more to her than meets the
eye. I won’t hold my breath though! We also learn a little bit more about Tripp
who will be featured in the next book in the series and see more of Mase and
meet a cousin who hopefully will also get stories of their own. What I love
about Abbi is that this series flows nicely, we are going on book 10 and I
still hope for more! If you haven’t started this series yet you are missing
out!
“I was searching
so hard for something to make me feel whole. I found that with you.”
