By Cathleen Armstrong
What happens when the life you’re running from won’t let go of your heart?
Kaitlyn Reed and Steven Braden have always had a similar philosophy of life: when the going gets tough, they get going–out of town and away from the problem. Now they are both back in Last Chance, New Mexico, and trying to start over.
Kaitlyn is working to reestablish a relationship with the seven-year-old daughter she left behind six months earlier. Steven is trying to prove to his family that he is not the irresponsible charmer they have always known him to be. As Kaitlyn and Steven find themselves drawn to one another, one big question keeps getting in the way: How will they learn to trust each other when they don’t even trust themselves?
With emotional depth and characters who leap off the page and into your heart, Cathleen Armstrong invites you to return once more to the dusty and delightful town of Last Chance.
ISLAND BREEZES
Thank you so much, Ms Armstrong, for taking us back to Last Chance. With this book you brought life to a character I previously didn’t care for very much.
Kaitlyn and Steven seem to be cut from the same bolt of fabric. While she’s working to straighten out her life, she’s being drawn to this bad boy who appears to not want to act like an adult. He would prefer to run away and Kaitlyn knows that that’s like.
That would be all fine and dandy except she needs to become the parent figure in her daughter Olivia’s life now that she wants to settle down instead of running.
This is a good stand alone read, but you’ll appreciate it more if you read Welcome to Last Chance and One More Last Chance first. The back stories help you see new life in old friends.
Thank you, Ms Armstrong. Will you take us to Last Chance again or is this our last chance with these characters we’ve grown to love?
