Second Chance on Cypress Lane - Book Review

 

Second Chance on Cypress Lane by Reese Ryan

 

Dakota Jones is coming to Holly Grove Island after a devastating career disaster that left her unemployed and in the tabloids. She just wants to refocus and decide what to do with her career, so spending time with her dad might just do the trick. When she runs right into her old high school flame Dexter, the man who broke her heart, maybe returning home might not have been the right choice.

Dexter is home for good and when he sees Dakota, he wants to explain to her why he left her so many years ago. When it turns out that they must work together, and Dexter is her new boss, being friends is now his only option.

Dakota and Dexter must fight their feelings for each other even though their friends and family can clearly see that they are meant to be together. Dakota is only in town for awhile, so she is bound and determined to stay casual friends, she does not want another broken heart. Dexter must decide if his feelings for Dakota are worth risking a career, he spent so much time building.

This was a sweet story of second chances and rekindling a broken friendship. As a reader we get insight into how each character is feeling as the story is told from both points of view. I did feel however that a lot of time was spent with them reminiscing on the past and retelling their earlier romance. I would have liked to have the story focus more on the present and their time spent learning how to trust one another. All in all it was a good story and I do look forward to the next book in the series. Thank you so much to the author Reese Ryan, Forever (Grand Central) Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
