One More Chance: A Rosemary Beach Novel: 8

Product Information

As Grant continues to call Harlow and leaves her messages, she continues to ignore them. She now has a new secret that is making her feel like she needs to push him away. She just needs time and feels it's best to stay away for a while. One of the things I love about this series is getting the dual POV's, otherwise, it just wouldn't work. We need to know what's happening with both Grant and Harlow and of course, there's a big secret keeping them apart. I slipped my hand into my brother’s and let him pull me up. I wouldn’t admit to him that I was weak from my loss of appetite. I wasn’t nauseated from the pregnancy, but I missed Grant. Right now, I wanted him. I wanted to share this with him. To see him smile and hear him laugh. I wanted more than he could give me. No one will persuade me to give up my baby. I will not choose myself over this child. I can’t. I won’t. I just... don’t ask me to again, just understand that I have to do this my way.

Then there's Bethy, it's pretty depressing but we knew it would be. There's a prologue for her and Tripp's book at the end but I couldn't bring myself to read it. I'll just wait till December when their book, You Were Mine, comes out. Unfortunately, there story is two books long, the second one being When I'm Gone, that doesn't sound very positive. Even though I didn't know, But Harlow is keeping (yet another) secret that will change everything. And when Grant finds out, he knows that this time he’s not only fighting for her… but for their entire future together. Well, if it ain’t Little Miss Gone Missing, Major said. You’re even prettier than the photos they keep showing of you on TV. That’s enough. He will be here any minute, and I know he’s embarrassed about all this. Be nice. Ask him about college or what he wants to do. Just don’t talk about Hillary or his dad.I brushed the wisps of hair that had fallen out of my pony­tail holder out of my face. He wouldn’t understand why I couldn’t tell Grant. I was tired of having this conversation with him. Because we all know that it's different, so, so different when it's that someone who's holding your hand. I can now say, without a doubt, that you brought this evolution to fruition in One More Chance. His growth was the ultimate experience and I couldn't be prouder. Who else in the series can you expect books from? Well Grant has a book that I hope to get out sometime this fall. And then there is Nan… not sure if she should get a book yet or not. We’ll see. In terms of comparing this with the first book then I'll say I liked this one better. Did I love it? No. But I kinda saw it coming. Truth is I never got over the fact Grant sleeping with Nan AFTER sleeping with Harlow. (Cheating is a hard-limit for me.)

Is it even possible for Rush to get any yummier? He is just a-amazing. And I love him, Blair and Nate together. I'm ready for another baby! Woods and Della helped round out the couples and I loved how they all just fit together. Grant eventually finds out where Harlow is and goes to get his woman! ;)) He really shows her how he feels and they work through their issues. Things aren't easy but they are stronger together. If you remember, I made a few bold predictions in my review of Take a Chance. Predictions blanketed with my faith in you Abbi, and the direction you'd hopefully take us (i.e. Grant) in One More Chance. I wanted to go there. You took us there. And for the naysayers with their Grant hating nay saying, you will definitely be silenced after reading One More Chance. It's time to give Grant one more chance. This entire book encompasses the idea--One. More. Chance.Since then, it had been silent. We didn’t go into town, and I had been able to hide out in Mase’s log cabin. Other than the visit to the ob-gyn, which Mase’s mother took me to, I had been staying in seclusion. Dad had called a few times. I hadn’t told him about the pregnancy, but I had just found out myself last week. Was Grant who was in Nan’s bedroom? How am I supposed to know? I was in Rush’s head in that POV You will have to wait and see. And Christmas surprise! We get a novella for Kiro and Emily that comes out Christmas day. That should be really interesting to read about Kiro in that light.

I was immediately concerned about where things were going, I hate when I have to wait forever for my couple to finally get together. That wasn’t the case here, in my opinion they were separated for a justifiable amount of time. You terrify me. Nothing in this world has ever shone as brightly as you do or made me want to be a better person like you do. I’ll spend a lifetime trying to be worthy of you, but I won’t be. No one could ever be. You’re a rare and precious gift, and I can’t imagine my life without you in it, by my side. You’re my happiness. You’re my home." I knew that night when I kissed you that I'd never be the same. Nothing would. You had marked my life." The main plot line is pretty emotional and dramatic. I really enjoyed all the different layers it added to the story. I didn't cry but certainly teared up a few times. It was really sweet although a bit predictable. And I just wish we had more depth to it...some things were never explained.Grant and Nan have had a thing for a while now. Nan finally screwed things up for the last time and its over. Rush didn't know about it"

This book is quite the departure from its relatively light-hearted prequel. While in the beginning of their relationship the focus stayed on the chemistry between these characters and the irresistible attraction that wouldn’t allow them to be apart, this part of their story is all about the emotions, the sacrifices, the dreams, the hopes. Grant started off as an ‘acquired taste’ type of hero, one who acted on impulse and made a million mistakes in the process, but in this book we get to see a different side of him. His remorse and fear of losing the woman he loves change him, set his priorities straight and show him what his life would look like without her. Harlow, on the other hand, has always been a fearless heroine, a young woman used to looking after herself, and that aspect of her personality gets only amplified once she is forced to make some difficult, life-altering decisions. But we also get to see a softer side of her, a more vulnerable one, making her one of the most commendable female leads I have ever come across.Mase let out a frustrated sigh. You’re carrying his baby. He needs to know that. This ain’t right, what you’re doing. I loved how broken Grant was in the beginning of this book & how we get to see the depth of his love for Harlow. He really lays his heart out there & it's beautiful! I felt this book really completed their story to perfection! Grant’s growth as a character was phenomenal. He was really able to man up and do what was right throughout the story, which was supporting Harlow. Now to Harolw. Harlow has so much strength, hope and determination. With everything going on in her life, she was one tough girl. She didn’t take the easy road. She did what she thought was right. Harlow and Grant were a team. They drew strength from each other. It was a beautiful thing to see.
