The Second Chance Caf
The Second Chance Caf: A Christmas romance about finding love again from the #1 bestselling author | Amanda Prowse
9 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
Can you ever find love twice? Bea doesn't believe in second chances. As a widow, she feels like she will be alone forever. She buries her grief in hard work, and soon the deli she runs in Sydney, Australia, has a reputation for the best carrot cake in town. But then an email from a cafe-owner in Edinburgh leads her to take a trip to Scotland in the depths of winter. There, transported by the twinkling lights and falling snow of a traditional Christmas, Bea is drawn back to a secret past and a secret love that she has long ago tried to forget... 'A heartwarming novel to read in the run-up to Christmas - hot, balmy beaches to herald the festive season on one side of the world, and light dustings of snow on the other side' TripFiction. 'There's no shortage of books with Christmas in the title, but this family-focused story stands out from the rest' Closer.

Mehso-so

Having loved some previous books of Amanda Prowse I was looking forward to this one but I'm left feeling a bit disappointed. The main character Bea felt a bit peachy to be honest, I think if she was my gran i would have knocked her over the balcony as no one could say anything to her without hearing a moral or a lesson to live by. Just couldn't relate to this book at all which was a shame.

Not usually a fan of cafes inside malls because they lack the cozy vibe that I enjoy in places I hang out in. But I had a cream cheese danish at this cafe the other day and I noticed they used books to decorate the place! Always a plus in my book.

A perfect christmas romance. Loved it from start to finish. Easy to read as the words just flowed which made it feel like I was part of the story.
