Maybe that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all along. Looking for everything else when I needed to be looking for a connection with someone. A spark. So… thanks for being the spark.

Second Time Around
Format:
ebook
Publisher’s Synopsis:
Potter Lake, GA is a small town filled with life and love, where the hustle and bustle slows down just enough to notice what— and who is around you.
For recent transplants Sage Owens and Bennett Alexander, their greatest losses marked the end of to have and to hold. While time marches on, it doesn’t move in reverse; it doesn’t bring back the love of your life.
These two souls are drawn together in this quaint town and discover that their meeting is not so accidental but fated. What time may bring this holiday season is a second chance at love.
Point of view:
3rd person. Alternating between Bennett & Sage’s perspectives.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
This short story was a lovely addition to the Potter Lake series. It starts about a year after the epilogue of book 1, Leslie’s Curl & Dye. However, as the main characters were not really featured in that, so you could read this on its own.
This is a great read for those still in the mood for a little “holiday” in their reading as it’s set over Christmas and New Year’s. White gives another low angst relationship set in a small town. I love that this time the MC’s are in their mid-40s. Bennett and Sage are both widowed with grown children and struggling with the guilt that comes from being ready to move on. White does an amazing job of balancing their sweet & understanding with need & sexy.
An easy and delightful read. I’m super excited to listen to book 3, The Guy Next Door.
