REVIEW: Second Chance Bride by Trish Morey

Second Chance Bride by Trish Morey: Scarlett Buck could write a book about making the wrong choices, about not thinking before you leap and oddly enough about numbers. Where did that get her? How about half way across the world without the price of a ticket home, considering working in a brothel? What will she do when her twin and her mother need her back in Montana?

Mitch Bannister knows he just escaped the noose, or rather the short witchy ball and chain his ex was, the problem? She’s marrying his best friend and he’s the best man. What is he to do, show up without a date? Find some one and beg?

Fate has a funny way of bringing together those who need to be and when by chance Scarlett and Mitch meet it’s sure to be one heck of a ride with many many miles. What will happen in the end? Will it be happiness or half a world apart?

Ms. Morey has lead her readers all over the world in this story. Not to mention allowing the readers to really watch Scarlett grow up and come into her own. The story flows so well and really my only complaint is the lack of length, but for a novella this is a great quick read full of wit, passion and learning that yes love hits when it makes no sense.

Scarlett Buck has always been flaky in comparison to her sensible twin sister Tara, so nobody is really surprised when Scarlett spends all her money on a one way ticket to Australia to be with the man she’s met on the Net. But she hasn’t reckoned on the guy already being married, or her mom getting sick, and now she needs money for a flight home to Marietta, MT—quick. Signing on with Bella’s Belles in Kalgoorlie isn’t be the proudest moment in her life but it will get her home fast. After all, it’s just sex.

Or is it?

Mitch Bannister’s ex is about to marry his best friend, and he could really do with a cold beer and a hot woman. But the cowgirl he takes a shine to at Bella’s is surprisingly skittish, and in the end he leaves without hooking up.

Later, when Mitch spies the cowgirl in the local pub begging for a job, he shrinks into the shadows–he’s not looking for complications, and something tells him that Scarlett Buck is a whole handful of them. But soon it’s clear she’s not just trouble, she’s in trouble, and like it or not, he’s not about to turn his back on this stray from the States. Especially if she can do him a favor in return. After all, it’s just a helping hand.
