My Second Chance

Ridgewater High Romance, Book 4

By: Judy Corry

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

They broke the rules. He broke her heart. Does their love deserve a second chance?

Sixteen-year-old Juliette Cardini has been keeping a secret for months. Before she went to her semester abroad in Paris, she dated her best friend's older brother, Easton Stevens. What had started as a whirlwind romance filled with forbidden meetings came to a crashing halt when they crossed a line together from which neither of them could return.

Now, she's back in Ridgewater and has to face everyone she left behind. But there's one more secret she is afraid for anyone to discover: She's pregnant - and Easton is the father.

But she has a plan: go to her grandma's house in Buffalo for the next few months. Keep the baby a secret. No one will ever have to know. But when Juliette sees signs that Easton might want a second chance, she wonders if keeping everything to herself is the best choice.

Can a relationship built on such a rocky foundation have a chance at a happy ending? And what will Easton do if Juliette's secret comes out?

Oh man! Such a good read

This was very highschool romance and I enjoyed every minute of it! I binged it in 2 days due to having work being in the way! Really really enjoyed it

The ending was very sad

Beautiful story until the end. There should have been a warning if you have loss a child or suffered from infertility. The family of both didn’t offer any support to help them.

This is a Mess!

I can’t even remember my list of complaints, there were so many. This series went more downhill with each book. The first one wasn’t so bad. But this one? I almost didn’t finish. My first thought was that a 13 yo girl took pen in hand and dreamed this up. It was just massively juvenile, and the dialogue, oh the dialogue. Lexie, from the book before this, plays a prominent role in this book. She is still annoying but 10 times more. Noah is mentioned but there really is no interaction. Easton must have had his soul sucked out because he is a hollow shell. Everyone is. I think it’s because Juliette lives in her head and is so self-absorbed she eclipses everyone and everything by the constant rumination in her head. Seriously, I’ve never known a more self-centered, manipulative, selfishly toxic character. It’s all about HER. What she wants. What she needs. Forget anything and anyone else. She lies to herself and everyone around her. The relationships are so dysfunctional it’s hard to know where to start unraveling it. Too many secrets. “Don’t tell so and so but…..”. “I wanted to tell you but I couldn’t because *secret* so I chose to bold faced lie to you my BFF for months and months and would have kept on lying if I had not been caught”. Just ick!!! This book may try to teach that some consequences can change a life completely and sometimes not for the better. That is the only redeeming quality it can claim. I will not continue with this series and prefer to shut the door and leave all these miserable people behind. Sheesh!

Done very well

This book is done very well and I hope I can find more than my this narrator or narrators

Great book

Love how the author connects each book and brings the familiar characters from the previous book.
