"Second Chance Romance" was a quick and easy read.  A man and a woman, who were in love in high school, but then went their separate ways.  They make contact 10 or so years later, and decide to see what happens as they begin to renew their teenage relationship - as grown-ups.  He's a goalie for a Canadian hockey team with some uncertaintly about his contract being renewed.  She's a divorced mother, an elementary school teacher, with a young child, and living in Canada, but a bit of a distance away.  They test the waters and give renewing their relationship, with all the complications of their lives now, a shot.  This is a long distance relationship - mostly mother and son spending time with him, mostly weekends. in his house, in his city.This is a sweet read, without much substance, that touches upon, but glosses over and doesn't really deal with or resolve the complications in their current lives and how that will work, as they attempt to give their old love a second shot.There are a few serious issues (brought up, but not fully addressed).  She's a single, working mother with an 8 year old son by her ex-husband who's not in the picture.  He's a good hockey player, but his future with his current team isn't secure.  And there's her sweet, smart and funny son - a young boy with his needs to consider.It's pretty much "stock romance", touching on some important issues, but not resolving them.
