Waiting on Forever

By: Ashley Wilcox

Blurb:

College.

Parties, sororities and getting drunk.

Oh, yeah. And learning.

This may be true for most college students, but not for Leah Bennett. College life for her includes studying, working, and excelling in school. When it comes to the social ladder, Leah is at the bottom. Popular girls, hot guys and star athletes are of no importance to her, except for one.

Matthew Jacobs.

Matt is the starting wide receiver at SUNY Cortland, the most wanted guy on campus and Leah’s best friend. Although Leah’s feelings toward Matt run deeper than just a friendship, it is something she would never let be seen because the odds of someone like Matthew Jacobs going for someone like Leah Bennett are slim to none.

When Matt starts showing an interest in Leah that goes beyond friendship, she is dumbfounded and doesn’t believe it is possible – until one weekend that changes everything.

Will Matt and Leah’s popularity status get in the way of having a chance at a real relationship?

Or does status mean nothing when it comes to true love?

Review:

Waiting on Forever truly makes you feel that you are on cloud 9 that only a good book can bring.

Love’s Second Change

L.P. Dover

Description: Korinne Anders had it all. She had the perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect husband. When tragedy strikes, her world takes a devastating turn. Six months after losing her husband to a car accident, Korinne vows it to herself never to love again. If she doesn’t allow another man in her heart, then there’s no reason for her to feel the pain of loss. This plan seems to work, but is put to the test when Korinne’s best friend can’t stand to see her suffering any longer.

Korinne’s long-time friend, Jenna Perry, has an idea and it involves helping her friend find the spark of life in her soul no matter what it takes. Korinne didn’t know that Jenna’s plan meant bringing back a past love, a second chance with the man that Korinne had to leave in college, but always kept a place for in her heart.

When Galen Matthews learns of Korinne’s loss and that she’s finally moved back home, he wants nothing more than to be there for her. The love he felt for Korinne years ago has never left him, and now he’s given a second chance to not only mend her heart of her loss, but to also continue the love they shared in the past. Will his love and determination make her strong enough to give fate a second chance, or will her fear of losing another love make her run away?

What will Korinne do when she’s faced with a love so powerful that no matter what she does there’s nowhere to run from it?

Review: When you love someone and they are torn from you, it feels like nothing will ever be the same. The process of breathing, walking, and talking no longer mean anything and you are just going through the motions.

Love’s Second Chance allows you to experience first hand what tragedy feels like. It allows you to have that shock of loss; the breathless moment when you realize that the person you love with every fiber of your being is gone forever.  How do you move on, when you feel you lost the love of your life? How do you go through the motions everyone expects of you, when all you want to do is just cry and die too?

You’re allowed to see the bonds of friendship and love when the people who love Korrine most, want her to get back on track with her life. In the process of moving on, they push her towards the arms of her first love, Galen.

You have to ask yourself, what would happen if you were clouded by tragedy and the guilt of finding happiness is scary for one to function?  Would you like Korinne let love in again or would you push it away because for the fear of suffering again?

If you are ready for an emotional & dramatic romance, then you just have to read Love’s Second Chance but please have a box of tissues on hand because this will pull on your emotions and there is bound to be tears. I highly recommend this book and would love to hear your feedback once you are done.
