*I received this book during a blog tour from the author.  My review is my own.*A few things first.  Krista is a friend of mine, in fact she is my best friend.  We are in a writing group together and will co-author a new blog in the next few months.  All that said, I never read her work until its published.  I don’t critique her or even help her with her writing.  She’s so much better than me.  So why am I writing a review on Second Nature?  I’ll tell you in a few short sentences.1.  I like Krista’s writing.  Its crisp, flows well and its well thought out.  Her characters are real and completely relatable.2.  Second Nature is book about second chances.  I’m a sucker for this trope and Ms. Ames wrote it well.  The story starts in college when they are freshman and then it all goes to hell.  What is different about the book is how the back story and the “why” Nicholas left Dana with no explanation…just left and joined the Navy factored in when Nicholas finally told Dana.  I never ever show that twist coming and it made the story that much richer and plausable.3.  The setup of Nicholas and Dana going to their friend’s wedding…their first scene together is priceless.  I really felt both of their emotions and how their time apart had affected them.  :)4.  Lastly, Ms. Ames pulls you into her story and before you know it, it’s over.  :(  I wanted a bit more of Dana and Nicholas and hopefully I can pursude her to write more.Overall, if you are looking for a great second chance romance Second Nature is the one for you.  Its relatable, the characters are great and did I mention its setting is Seattle with hot Naval men?  Oh, I didn’t?  My bad…  He he!
