SUMMER'S BOOK BLOGShay and Adrian were high school sweet hearts with chemistry that could not be denied.  They ran off and eloped mere weeks before leaving for Boston College where Adrian had a hockey scholarship with hopes of going pro and where Shay would major in architecture.  On their way to Adrian's parents house for their last Sunday dinner before they were scheduled to leave, they were arguing in the car and Shay lost control.  She wasn't hurt but Adrian sustained a severe injury to his leg that ended his hockey career and ultimately cost him his scholarship.  While at the hospital with Adrian, Shay overheard Adrian and his family blaming her for the accident and not being able to handle the guilt she left without a single word.  Adrian was served with divorce papers two weeks later.17 years had passed since that fateful day and Shay had carried the guilt of the accident along with a secret that she shared with no one every moment since.  Now she must return to Seattle to take care of her ailing mother but she is far from the girl she was when she left.  She is no longer that fiery, argumentative, young girl but a reserved, passive, successful architect.  Returning home she takes a job at an architectural firm that just landed a huge contract building a high rise apartment.  The construction company building the apartment is owned by none other than Adrian.Adrian never knew why Shay walked out on him when he needed her the most but now that she was back in town he was going to do everything in his powers to make sure he got them.  He never stopped loving Shay and although he was angry she just walked away when he saw her he knew that the spark between them was still there but she was hiding something.  When Adrian finally finds out the truth would he be the one walking away or would they finally get their Second Chance?Second Chance by Annalisa Nicole is the third book in the Running into Love series and it is told in alternating POV's between Shay and Adrian.  It really keeps the reading in tune with the character's emotion which is great because this book really is an emotional roller coaster.  Annalisa did an exquisite job bringing Shay and Adrian's emotions to life with her words.  I cried with them, laughed with them and surely was angry with them!This book is fast paced and has just enough of everything, from romance, to drama. to suspense. to sex, there is something in this book for everyone.  I have not had the pleasure of reading the first two books but Annalisa gives you just enough of the back story to keep you up to date while still making you want to add them to your To Be Read lists.Her whole character list is awesome.  Every single character is amazing and have a really great back story (another reason I need to read the first two!!).  The whole Wellington family is the kind of family everyone yearns for.  They love each other with everything they have and always have each other's backs.I really did enjoy this book.  I would recommend it to anyone as it does have a little bit of everything.  All in all I think Annalisa is a great writer and I can not wait to read the other Running into Love books!
