Second Chance on Cypress Lane
Second Chance on Cypress Lane | Reese Ryan
2 posts | 1 read
In this heartwarming second-chance romance, a woman returns home and discovers that, when it comes to finding love, there's no place like home. When a romance gone wrong lands reporter Dakota Jones in the pages of the tabloids, her rising star crashes and burns. Instead of getting the weekend anchor job she'd been promised, she's promptly shown the door. Which leaves her one option: return home to lick her wounds, eat lemon meringue pie, and plot her comeback while actively avoiding the man who once broke her heart. Dexter Roberts made a huge mistake when he walked away from Dakota, and he's regretted it ever since. So when Dakota returns to Holly Grove Island to regroup and decide what's next, Dex can't pass up the opportunity to win back the love of his life. Now he just needs to convince Dakota to give him a second chance.

I enjoyed this little “return to the hometown“ romance to start with, but was skimming by the end. The male MC has worked for literal years to gain the work position he just got because it will allow him to live close to his mom and siblings.

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) literally saying she wasn't interested in anything serious/long-term and that she's planning to bail out of town as soon as she can.

I just found her to be so self-absorbed and annoying from the get-go, and she got more so as the pages went on.

robinb Yikes!!! 😳 She sounds like a real winner of a person…not. 👎 4mo
TheAromaofBooks @robinb - It was one of those books where instead of the main character growing on me and growing as a person, she just got worse and worse! Plus their reason for their back-in-the-day break-up was her mom telling the guy that he “wasn't good enough“ for the daughter and if he really loved her, he would let her go blah blah blah so he did but of course pretended like he wanted to date other people etc. The MC's mom has died by the time the ⬇ 4mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) story starts, but she also just sounds DREADFUL - she was obsessed with her daughter having a career in TV journalism/being a news anchor and consequently was always making her “fix“ her looks etc etc. It's supposed to be these heartwarming flashbacks to time she spent bonding with her mom, but all I could think was... this woman is HORRID, no wonder her daughter sucks! 4mo
