Book Review: Second Time Around by Nancy Herkness

Touted as a second chance romance, Nancy Herkness’ “Second Time Around” is more like friends turning into lovers, even considering that Kyra Dixon, the heroine had a crush on Will Chase while they were in college.

Meeting in New York when they have established their own careers, the social divide was more significant than ever, at least in the eyes of Kyra.

Will was and still is a Connecticut scion, a member of its famed one-percenter while Kyra is definitely a member a of the working class.

But the heart does not see dollar signs; it only recognizes love. Against all odds, Will and Kyra found themselves in love. The question is, will it be enough for them to pass all the obstacles they have to face to reach their happily ever after.

Second Time Around” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

Summary

Kyra Dixon, a blue-collar girl from the boondocks, is dedicated to her job at a community center that matches underprivileged kids with rescue dogs. When she runs into Will Chase—Connecticut blue blood, billionaire CEO, and her old college crush—she’s surprised that he asks a favor from her: to be his date for his uptight family’s dreaded annual garden party. If his parents don’t approve, all the better.

Kyra’s not about to say no. It’ll give her a chance to be oh-so-close to her unrequited love. What begins as a little fling turns so mad hot, so fast, that Kyra finds herself falling all over again for a fantasy that won’t come true. How can it? She doesn’t belong in Will’s world. She doesn’t want to. But Will does want to belong in hers.

All he has to do now is prove it. Will is prepared to give up whatever is necessary to get what his heart most desires.
