Jill Shalvis has done it again!! I am never let down by this author. Her characters are so real and sincere. They always have normal faults, like getting food on themselves or not saying the right thing at the right time etc. I can always count on Jill Shalvis for a great read. Anytime someone wants a good contemporary romance read I suggest her!!!
You can read the blurb if you want the whole story but let me tell you the ending... on a cliff and a walkie talkie... it was great...

Second Chance Summer was my first Jill Shalvis novel and it was so cute! I fell in love with the town of Cedar Ridge and the Kincaid brothers. The push and pull between Lily and Aiden was fun and I enjoyed rooting for them. It did feel like there was a lot going on with both of their back stories and all the action throughout so I wished it had slowed down a bit and dove deeper into some of those points, but overall I liked it! This one is perfect for a fast, fun summer read.
3.75 stars. a good beginning to a new series, with all the wit and sensuality i expect from a shalvis novel. full review coming to the blog soon.
I love all of Jill Shalvis's books so kind of hard to not like this new series set in the Colorado Rockies. This is small town living with everyone remembering what you did way back in high school no matter how much you wish they would forget those things. And families and first loves.
Pour yourself a cup of hot tea or cider and curl up and watch Aidan and Lily work around old memories and remember that they do love each other.

A brand new series from Jill Shalvis and even though I’ll miss Lucky Harbor I’m very excited for her new series Cedar Ridge based in Cedar Ridge, Colorado. Lily knows that it’s very hard to come home and after tragedy drove her from Cedar Ridge ten years ago, scandal has brought her back. The chance at a job is too good to pass up so Lily is home and attempting to face her demons. Firefighter Aiden was heartbroken when Lily walked out of his life all those years ago but he understood why she left. But now that she’s back he won’t pass up the chance to show her that home is where her heart belongs, and that her heart belongs to him. Some of the same great humor, witty banter, and sexiness that I’ve come to love from Ms. Shalvis. Very excited to continue this series because she’s introduced a great new family. Fun read!

Before I started reading a book a day and blogging, my go to author was always Jill Shalvis. I can't even count the number of books of hers that I've read, but I can guarantee that I've enjoyed each and every one of them. She always writes the most fun, simple romances that are full of heart and heat. This book is no exception.
It was very easy to fall in love with Aiden and his rugged, protective nature. From the very beginning it's clear that his family means everything to him. He's the guy who doesn't trust easily, but if you ever earn it from him, you'll also earn his undying loyalty. If that's not the makings for a perfect BBF, I'm not sure what is.
Lily is sweet, strong and independent but doesn't feel worthy of love and happiness. The second the two of them reconnect it's obvious that they both have residual feelings from their relationship that almost was.
Aiden is pretty forthcoming with his feelings and expectations but still holds back a little out of fear of being left behind again. Lily knows what she feels but it's gonna take a little more to convince her that she deserves it.
Their journey to happy ever after is, rocky (pun intended), but perfect all the same. With Aiden's family & friend Mitch and Lily's best friend Jonathan rounding the amazing cast of characters in Cedar Ridge, some crazy rescue stories that will leave you, and maybe Aiden, in stitches, and a beautiful landscape to read about, this looks to be a new favorite series of mine.

I love the new Colorado setting for this series, and the mountains! Hot sexy S&R fire fighters are also a good thing too.
The heroine was feisty, and Shalvis always does a great job of not letting silly lies drive her story. Can't wait for more.

Second Chance Summer is a classic Jill Shalvis second chance romance reminiscent of her Wilder series. Even so it is sweet, funny and a damn good read. The characters are relatable and the action is believable. As per any Jill Shalvis book you can read it for the secondary characters alone but given that Aiden & Lily are so much fun you don’t need to.
