I was given the extreme honor of receiving an ARC of No Second Chances by Beverley Hollowed. From the get-go, this book will pull you in and have you wanting more. The talent of the writer weaves the words so elegantly that you can close your eyes and picture exactly what she is describing. The characters have real qualities that make them so relatable. Ally is the type of girl you want to be, beautiful, self-sufficient, sassy, quick witted, and a genuine nice girl. Cole is the epitome of everything you want from a fictional boyfriend: tall, dark, handsome, rich and extremely knowledgeable of how to treat a woman, both inside and outside of the bedroom. Ally and Cole's instant attraction is believable and all consuming. The angst in this book is a situation that no one would want to be in, but Mrs. Hollowed, describes and executes it tastefully and beautifully. Once that cataclysmic event occurs, you cheer for the HEA, but them BAM! The twist comes out of nowhere. The characters and skillful storytelling will have you ignoring life around you and turning the pages. This book has it all: Sex, Secrets, and Doubt, but then again, isn't that truly what makes a fantastic book just that? This author and this book is so deserving of my FIVE STARS. Beverley Hollowed will be a household name and completely deserves so much more. Put No Second Chances and Beverley Hollowed at the top of your TBR list. Everyone deserves a chance, but a second chance comes only to the truly worthy.
