Second Chance Summer

Cedar Ridge Series – Book 1

By Jill Shalvis

Synopsis

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 . . .

Tracey’s Review

The first time around for Lily Danville and Aidan Kincaid did not end well. With Lily on the run from her personal demons, and Aidan caught up in the care and keeping of his extended family, the timing just wasn’t right. But when Lily, on the run from a major career mishap, comes home to Cedar Ridge, it doesn’t take long for things to heat up again.

I am always so excited to be able to read any book by Jill Shalvis. She has the wonderful ability to create a sense of hometown community, filled with characters that are wickedly funny and completely committed to each other. Second Chance Summer is the first book in Jill’s Cedar Ridge series, and I loved everything about it. Aidan and the rest of the Kincaid brothers are snarky, rugged, and sizzling hot. I mean, really, what’s hotter than a bunch of ripped outdoorsy guys that are also smart and that would do anything for the people that they care about? And care about Lily, Aidan does. Still nursing some residual pain from the first time she broke his heart, he’s not sure that he can risk another chance with her. And Lily, having held herself responsible for the losses that have occurred in her life, doesn’t want to let Aidan, or anyone, in. Time, though, and the heart, have a way of healing all things, and these two are soon on a collision course, completely unable to stop the way that they feel for each other.

“Aidan, I’m sorry I was so slow about things. But I meant every word I said to you last night. I want to stay in Cedar Ridge. I want to give us a real shot. I want to love you.”
He nodded, serious now. “For how long?”
“As long as you’ll have me.”
“Every day for the rest of my life,” he said immediately. “Does that work for you?”
Her eyes misted. “Works perfectly.”

I could not have enjoyed this book more, and give Second Chance Summer 5 sexy, swoony, sweep me off my feet stars. I can’t get enough of Jill and her books, and I look forward to each installment in this wonderful new series.
