Genevieve loses her husband on deployment only to find out she is pregnant. Sworn off love Gen decides to raise baby CJ on her own. Being a single mum is hard, so is fighting attraction, she can tell you that! Second Chances is a story about loss, heartbreak, difficult times, love lost & love found.I enjoyed Second Chances, H.M Ward and Stacey are talented authors. They tell a story that is believable, Gen's story probably happens a lot more than people think. I can't imagine losing your husband on deployment. My dad was in the army and got deployed to Afghanistan along with other places, it was scary knowing he was in danger and could be hurt at any moment.I felt sorry for Gen, losing her husband after finding out she was pregnant must have been horrific, my heart went out to her. She is strong though, instead of breaking down and asking people for help she soldiered on and brought up CJ on her own, definitely a strong-minded woman. I couldn't put my finger on it but there was something about her that bugged me, maybe it was nothing but I just didn't love her, she was okay, but nothing special.Daniel the lawn boy is awesome! He's so caring and thoughtful, he's suffered some bad times but is still his own person when he could have just given in and done what was expected of him, I salute him. I loved how he was with CJ too, he's only 22 but seems much older and of course he's hot too ;). I couldn't fault him at all, he was my favourite character in the book.Second Chances had me crying after only a few pages, that's hard to do. I usually don't cry until I've been dragged into the story but it was almost instantly with this one, that's how powerful the writing is. If you're a fan of contemporary romance and don't mind shedding a few tears you should read it.**A copy was provided for review purposes**
