Ames' review of Another Chance by Katie Alexander and Kelli Lee Mosley.
Megan Mason had a fabulous family, a wonderful husband, amazing friends, a great job and a beautiful home. All she needed was a baby to make her life complete. Little did she know, however, that asking her husband for a child would end her marriage. Suffering the ultimate betrayal, Megan returns to her childhood home to rebuild her life.

Grayson Burke had it all. His family’s construction company was financially sound business was booming. He loved his job and better yet, he worked with two of his best friends. To an outsider looking in, Grayson's life probably seemed perfect. But in reality, Grayson's dream woman wasn't only married to someone else, she was his buddies little sister which meant she was untouchable in every sense of the word.

When Grayson learns that Megan is headed home, everything in his world seems to flip upside down. There's no way he could ever approach a woman whose life has been destroyed. Right? And besides, his friends would kill him. Wouldn't they?
The blurb for this book sounded right up my alley - I love when the love interest is the friend of a sibling.  Unfortunately, Another Chance was a DNF for me.

I read the first 9 chapters and I just couldn't do it anymore.  The writing was not to my taste.  It was awkward in places and could have done with better editing.  The characters and their actions were exaggerated.  My interest in the main character's journey had not been engaged and so I thought I'd read the last couple of chapters to see if I was interested in seeing how the characters got to where they were (this is something I rarely do).

But the ending was not promising.  The supposed hero/heroine were at odds with each other (even though the heroine was pregnant).  I honestly believed that the heroine did not love the hero.

It's unfortunate that this book did not live up to its blurb.  DNF

This book is available from Rebel Ink Press. You can buy it here in e-format.
