When a second chance at love comes with a new perspective, chase it with eyes—and a heart—wide open.

Julianna Leah Winslow, Lady Mayborne, is three years a widow. While packing items to clear clutter, she finds an antique jade elephant among her husband’s possessions. When a secret panel pops open revealing a cryptic note with the name of his best friend—the man she’d wanted to marry as a young girl—she summons James no matter that seeing him again will open old wounds not fully healed.

James Percival Holles, Earl of Braxton, has just turned forty-two. It’s time to marry and set up his nursery, but every relationship he’s had has ended in disaster. When an urgent summons comes from Julianna, he’s immediately wary but intrigued, and agrees to travel to the Berkshire estate to perhaps vent his spleen and air old grievances. He would not let the fact that he still had a tendre for her sway his attitude.

Emotions explode each time they’re together, to say nothing of her twenty-year-old son’s animosity toward James, yet when long-held secrets are brought into the light, both he and Julianna find a shaky peace and a new direction. As the August days pass, they give into the desire brewing between them, and trust is put to the forefront. If they can stop hiding their true selves and surrender to the strength and security found as a couple, they’ll have a chance to grasp a second chance at love.

I also got this ebook from Amazon📚 for 99¢.

I loved this book because of the second chance for love 💘, and that it somewhat paralleled my own life, except for me, the roles of the two men were reversed, and both are dead and gone now. My First love💘, was my last true love💘.

This story is quite emotional and readers will shed a few tears along the way. I did think the ending was drawn out for way too long.
The book includes ADULT scenes of light bondage .

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO RIGHT MISTAKES!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2021

Second chance at love after 20 years of lack of communication on the H's part.

Slowly they find their way back to each other with the help of the h's son. There is lovemaking, outside of marriage - heat level 4 out of 5 and described several times.

No villains, no real drama, romance started 20 years ago with them but each went their separate ways.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA and steam. 1 crude word used and age was wrong in one part of the story. Also, since both the H and the h's husband would have been in Parliament, I was surprised they didn't run into each other. I wanted the epilogue to be more than a few months in the future. (ljb)

Three years a widow, Juliana, Viscountess of Maybourne, discovers the jade elephant that started the split of friendship between her husband Patrick and James, Earl of Braxton. But the most important reason for the split was Juliana. Bitterness, pain and regret kept James away from Patrick and Juliana for twenty years. When she invites James to Maybourne to give him the elephant, it may be a second chance for them to be together. Steamy, steamy sex give Juliana and James closeness to hopefully admit their feelings and the strength for forgiveness to admit their love. Then there is Juliana and Patrick's son Benjamin. What a great read with an older couple. Who says age matters in love?

Second chance for love

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2021

Widowed with a grown son, Julianna had started to put her marriage to her childhood friend Patrick behind her. Packing her late husband's treasures, she encounters a particular item that recalls many bitter memories and she resolves to return this item to his other childhood friend, James.

James had broken off contact with Julianna and Patrick when he learned that they had become betrothed. Still she remained the love of his young life. But 20 years have come and gone with a lot of life experiences, and neither are the children they were when they last saw each other.

These two characters needed to do a lot of self-reflection and communication to resolve their past issues so that they had the possibility to move forward into a new relationship.

I enjoyed this story, and am making plans to read the earlier books in this series. This is a historical, second-chance, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, steamy romance. Characters are well written and believable, as are the situations in which the suthor places them.

Well, what a wonderful book. Renewing a friendship after all those years. I was thinking all the time whether the son belonged to him. She loved him all of her life. What a romantic, loving man. He also loved her, but was afraid to say it.
I started it, and it was so good that I had difficulty putting it down. I was afraid I would miss something. The romance was amazing. He knew how to love her and to make her forget the sadness and deprivation that she had suffered when she was married. I would have missed all of this if I hadn’t bought it and read it. What a lovely read. Well done Mrs Sookoo, you have done it again. Fantastic book. Excellent. x
