Review: Second Chance Christmas by Ellen Butler


Note: This ebook  was provided by Entangled Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Emma Taylor and Colton Evans were once in love and engaged, but when their careers were going to take them in different directions, everything ended on a sour note. Nearly three years later, Emma's still being listed as Colton's emergency contact has her picking him at an emergency room. Soon, she's offering him a place to stay and recuperate from his injuries from the war and from a bar room brawl. They begin to weed through the issues that they had to face while they were still a couple, and Colton makes it clear that he wants another chance at being with Emma this coming holiday season and for the rest of their lifetimes.

Second Chance Christmas is a holiday novella about a couple who get one more shot at mending fences and proving to themselves and each other if they're really meant to be together and was written by author Ellen Butler. The issues that led them to end their engagement don't really exist this time around because of Colton's physical situation. There are more options for him, and so I didn't really get why Emma seemed so adamant at pointing out that they wouldn't work out because of their careers. Still, Second Chance Christmas was an overall pretty good 3.5-star read and one that would work well this Christmas. ♥

Review: Him by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy (Him #1)

Four years' worth of meaningless sexual encounters flash through my head as I break the kiss and slide down his body again. All those guys I hooked up with in the past...they're a blur. They're faceless. Sometimes they were faceless even when I was with them. I got off, they got off, but I wasn't fully present. I always held something back from them. Not with Jamie. I can't hold back with him, and never could. Holy book hangover. It's confirmed: there's something seriously wrong with me to have waited as long as I did to read this novel, though I'm counting getting it on sale as an absolute bonus. I get it now. I seriously and absolutely get why Him , the first book in the series by the same name from the writing tandem of Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy, has received and continues to receive the stellar reviews and accolades it's gotten since its release in July of last year. I've read many an M/M romance novel and yes, I've read...

He’s also my brother’s best friend, and so far out of my league, he's untouchable. But a few stolen glances turn into a welcome home that blindsides us both. The rules are clear.
