REVIEW: Second Chance Mine by M. Robinson

Second Chance Mine by M. Robinson: Paige is the very best EA that any executive could dream of, so when her boss asks her to help out a friend for six months she doesn’t think twice about taking up the new challenge… Paige just never expected to walk into the office of the man that broke her heart ten years ago; Adrian Drake. The moment that Adrian walked out of her life all those years ago he didn’t only break her heart but he also caused her to lose her best friend, Cade. The last thing that Paige ever plans on doing is allowing Adrian that close to her hear again, but it seems that Adrian doesn’t seem to agree.

Losing Paige was the single most painful moment for Adrian, so when fate gives him another chance to win back the woman that he has always loved, he jumps at it. Fully invested in proving to Paige that he is worth giving a second chance even if she is hell bent on pushing him away at every turn…

“You mean everything to me. Then. Now. Always.”

Im a total sucker for a good slow burn, second chance romance and this is exactly what we get with Adrian and Paige’s angsty love story. I just ate up this entire book with all that alpha energy that Adrian brought to the table in his pursuit to win Paige back. This was the type of book that you just have to read to fully enjoy, without giving to much away, I will just say that this book will keep you on your toes right from the start.

“I never stopped loving you. Not for a second, a day, a year. It’s always been you.”

Paige was a total hoot to read, I loved her smart wit and that she was genuinely a nice person. I will say reading those flash back chapters did break my heart but our girl was strong and got her heart back together. This only made me love her character all the more and the fact that she made Adrian work to win her back. And did our hero just work to win her back! I loved Adrian to bits, there was nothing not to love about this guy really! He was such an alpha hero and did not shy way from his feelings for Paige. I just loved the way he took charge and wanted to make sure that he protected her at all times.

“I’ve wanted you for as long as I can remember. It’s always been you, Cherry. I met you first, but he got you instead.”

Every interaction between these two characters was hot! They had some steamy hot chemistry with banter for days! I loved getting to see their story unfold both past and present and the way they had both changed. This really was one beautiful second chance story for first loves. I will say that I enjoyed the added layer of suspense that came with Paige’s stalker, this only increased the build up and helped push Paige and Adrian back together. Now I don’t want to give away to much on the Cade topic, but I couldn’t help but really dislike him! I just found him to be way to selfish and really it felt like he kind of just wanted to hog Paige to himself.

Second Chance Mine is definitely a book to check out, this slow burn, second chance love story has just the right mix of cute and angsty drama to keep things interesting.

You never forget your first love…

And I hadn’t.

Not her kiss.
Not her taste.
Not her touch.

Every stolen moment we had between us was forbidden.
She was off limits.

Especially to me.

I wish I could say I followed my own rules.
I didn’t.
I couldn’t.
I lost her trying to make her mine.
Because in the end…

She was always my brother’s best friend.
