I was intrigued with “Tink” from her brother’s book and I couldn’t wait for hers. The story with Kyle put a new twist on second chances and I loved the unique way he figured things out, a great story, and now I’m eagerly awaiting Harper’s story!

I loved the storyline, loved Ophelia and the supporting cast of characters, but I could not connect with Kyle. And it kills me because I wanted to love this book because I love Jennifer Probst's writing, but he is just not a likable character to me. Which is funny because as much as I didn't like Kyle, I loved Ophelia. I admired her strength in denying him in the beginning and her ability to forgive in the end. She has a good heart and tries to do right by everyone.

All in all, the book is impeccably written and Probst did her job well to evoke that strong of emotions in me, so I would definitely recommend this book. Especially to those that love second chance romances.

This is a second chance romance. Ophelia and Kyle have a long history. They were young and in love, running away to start a new life together and live their dreams until those dreams didn’t quite match up leaving Ophelia to come back to her family’s B&B and Kyle to continue living in Hollywood.

Kyle comes home with writers block and knows that the story he has to tell is his and the love of his life’s. Ophelia is the love of his life. From the minute that she opens the door of the B&B there can be no doubt that these two still belong together. But can they move past the history that still haunts both of them, figure out how to open their hearts, and find love again? I was so excited at the first interaction in the present time between them. I could feel the heat, feel the excitement at seeing each other again, but I could also feel the fear they both had in opening their hearts to each other.

A Brand New Beginning is the perfect romance story. It is sweet, it is moving, and it is beautiful. There is two amazing people who loved/love each other as no one else can. There is amazing friends and family that stand by the two of them pushing them to find each other while giving them the space needed to be true to themselves too.

Pick up your own copy of A Brand New Ending ASAP.

What a sweet, and emotional second chance romance. Ophelia and Kyle ran away to chase their dreams in Hollywood. But Ophelia comes home alone, brokenhearted and changed. She is no longer plucky and adventurous, but calm, with a graceful restraint and confidence. She found her place running her families B&B. When Kyle returns to stay at the B&B, Ophelia turns him away. But he has always been able to charm his way into her heart and this time is no different. He wants to write their story and convince her they are soul mates and to give him a second chance. Ophelia can't deny her feelings for Kyle. He still holds the key to her heart and is even more sexy as the man he has become. Even when he causes her light to shine brightly again, she's afraid her heart won't survive when he leaves for Hollywood again. I really enjoyed the growth between Ophelia and Kyle the second time around. I loved reading what happened between them years earlier through Kyles writings and how it helped him see things from another perspective. I also loved the story arc of the relationship between Kyle and his father.
This is a fun, engaging, emotional family saga, and steamy romance with so much heart! I am enjoying this series and hope to read more about this family!
