Review: His Second Chance by Carrie Ann Ryan (Montgomery Ink Legacy #6)
Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author.
If you have any doubt as to what the trope for the latest book in the Montgomery Ink Legacy series is, all you have to do is look at the title. His Second Chance is, you guessed it, a second chance romance featuring Kane Montgomery Carr and Phoebe Dixon. Kane is the son of Thea Montgomery and Dimitri Carr (Restless Ink, the second book in the Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs series) and was a bodyguard and co-owned Montgomery Security. When he first meets Phoebe, he knows this is a woman he wants in his life. But just when he thinks their relationship is going smoothly between the two of them, the woman he loved abruptly ends things. Then months later, Phoebe informs Kane that she suspects she has a stalker, which leads to Kane insisting that he be the one to keep an eye on her while the rest of the team tries to figure out who the stalker may be. He can protect the woman he has never stopped loving, but Phoebe can never be his again. Especially not if the person who's been watching her has anything to say about it.
I love a protective male main character, and I would prefer someone who was overprotective than someone who couldn't care any less as to what happens to their significant other. There was no questioning that Kane would go above and beyond in order to ensure that Phoebe was safe, something that he did during their original run as a couple; so imagine that protective nature of his go into overdrive when he found out that there was a very potential threat to the one and only woman who owns his heart. I understood why Phoebe felt it necessary to break up with Kane, although I confess that I wished she had communicated her concerns with him. Same goes with her feelings regarding her siblings. But I did love seeing her growth, and ditto with Kane's growth. The love was always there, but these two also learned to communicate better. There was also a MAJOR twist in the story, and I can't wait to see where the author takes readers going forward. These Montgomerys never disappoint! 4.5 stars go to His Second Chance.
