5 All the Second Chances Stars!! 
 
I know when I dive into a book by Ms. Michaels that I’m going to not only get an amazing story but also a book that has me all up in my feels. Everett and Violet delivered everything I love about a second chance story. 
 
Violet’s world has fallen apart in a grand and very public way so she heads back to Ember Falls her hometown and her first true love Everett is still there as the town Vet and taking care of him Mom. This man is so swoony and I’ve kind of had a crush on him from the first time I met him so I gobbled this story up. 
 
It’s not an easy road for these two especially when Violet discovers she’s pregnant by her detestable Ex. This definitely has an effect on her relationship with Everett but not in the way she imagined. Everett being the man he is makes it very clear that he not only loves Violet but he loves the life she’s growing inside her…. As I mentioned above….so swoony! 
 
While there are a few battles they have to fight to get their second chance at a love that has really never gone away, they’re both willing to do whatever it takes. Their love is rekindled and so very apparent. I felt it in my bones with the wonderful way Ms. Michaels built their happily ever after. 
 
Ember Falls has become a favorite small town for me. I love all the people in this town and their connections with each other. There’s witty banter galore that had me laughing out loud at moments, sizzling love scenes, friendships that are tried and true and for Everett and Violet the best second chance they never expected to get.
