The moment I read a couple of pages of Sandra Ross's- You Are Never Too Late - A Second Chances  Romance special, my thought was "oh no not again, that clichéd story and theme, Rich girl's poppa not want her marrying a poor boy and she bows down to his medieval dictates... "Nevertheless, because I like Sandra Ross, I persisted and well, I liked this book. Firstly, Christa manages to get some sort of backbone when she meets Ethan again. She is now capable of making her own decision. That is, she wants a happily ever after with the person she loves truly. Unfortunately, she is on her way to marry rich and eligible Barry.I wondered whether she would still decide to choose Ethan if he was not rich and successful, because she came across as a bit of a manageable jellyfish and a spoiled rich girl in the beginning of the story. But then I am a cynic and Sandra Ross managed to show Ethan as a person who had the seeds of success in him from Day Go. Daddy dearest's autocratic behavior was just the right incentive to show him what he was capable of doing. And after he did that he came back to town just to show 'em all.This little bit of clichéd story idea does not detract from the overall story, which has been very well written and edited by Sandra Ross. She, at the age of 30 is doing a good job of writing second chances and sweet and sizzling stories. So even though you feel a bit of pity and sympathy for Barry, because he really had no chance at all... when Ethan decides to go all out to win His Woman back...well. And then, Christa suddenly decides that she would rather have Ethan, because he is so hot, because he is so rich, he is so good in bed, and she loves him... If she had done this in the first place, she would not have hurt Barry so much in the long run by deciding not to marry him at the 11th hour. That is why this book gets a three star rating from me.Anyway, this is a good read for all those people who like sweet and sentimental with a touch of hot. Sandra Ross is slowly and steadily making her name as a writer who writes well, while expressing the thoughts and feelings of her characters in a very sensitive manner. You are Never Too Late comes in that category. I predict that Sandra is soon going to be an author very much in demand, especially because she writes well, can express herself well and even makes clichéd stories look like something new and unusual.Just one more extra point- love her cover. My compliments to the artist.
