Blurb

A stand alone second chance grumpy sunshine romance about Josie & Maddox by USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde…

Maddox Nelson is the only boy I’ve ever loved.

And the only one to break my heart.

I thought I was over that long ago. After drowning the heartbreak in two failed marriages, I should want safe and easy, and Maddox is nothing but complicated.

Now that I’m back home in Savannah, I can’t deny the pull toward him. He’s the grumpy to my sunshine, the introvert to my extrovert, the uncompromising to my go with the flow. But years of friendship, love, and tangled lust binds us together in the city where it all began.

When heat flies between us, he makes it clear that we already had our chance. Both of us should move on.

Except I’m no longer okay with that idea.

I’ll prove to him that I come second to none.

Review

4 stars!

Second to None is Book Three in the Coastal Chronicles by K.A. Linde, and just like the others, it takes us on an emotional rollercoaster.

Josie grew up in a broken house and didn’t receive the attention a child should from her parents, ultimately shaping the person she becomes. She grew up living in Atlanta with her father but came back to Savannah to spend summers with her mother. Even though her home life wasn’t the greatest, her best friends, Lila and Marley were there to support her.

Marley’s twin brother, Maddox, has been in Josie’s life just as long as his sister and there has always been a connection. They relaly started noticing each other the Summer Josie turned sixteen but it isn’t until two years later when they finally kiss. It’s just what she dreamed of but life gets in the way and the two are pulled apart and hearts are broken.

Now, Josie is back in Savannah. She is the leading actress in a movie and Maddox ends up being the visual effects guy on the set. They haven’t seen each other in years but that connection they shared as teens is still very real no matter how hard they tried to move on from the heartache.

I love second chance romances and Josie and Maddox have a complicated one. From teens to adults, they were meant to be together. Unfortunately, they never seem to be at the same stage in life. When one is taking off, the other seems stuck. One thing remains though: the chemistry is off the charts and their love is palpable.

The story is told from Josie’s POV and flips form past to present which was really well done. I loved that I got more than just flashbacks with these two. It made everything more real. The flirty banter as teens is entertaining and I was so excited when they finally made a move. But it was short lived and we experience the first time hearts break. Now, the have to see each other every day which only makes the sexual tension spike. I knew these two would combust and sexy times as adults crank up the heat.

Josie and Maddox are more than just a second chance. Instead, they come together and are pulled apart more than once giving us a lot of heartache throughout their lives. I loved the growth they go through while discovering what they truly want. The pain is worth it for these two because things work out wonderfully and the epilogue is icing on the cake!

I love that we get Lila from Hold the Forevers and Marley from At First Hate, and can’t wait for the last book in the series. Ash has been through so much and I would love for him to find his happily ever after!
