Wishing Upon a Star: A Second Chance Novella (The Silver Lining Series Book 3) by Christina Berry

 I’ve only ever loved one man: Hollywood heartthrob Griffin Stone. Of course, I never told him. 


In high school, Griffin was hot jock Mr. Popular, while I was the dorky science nerd who tutored him. Now, ten years later, I’m a leader in space technology and a newly-minted billionaire, and apparently I’ve stepped through a wormhole to an alternate dimension because Griffin freakin’ Stone just admitted he’s always had a crush on me. He thinks I rejected him.


Can time heal old wounds and bring our stars into alignment?


Wishing Upon a Star is a billionaire, Hollywood second chance novella, and book three in the Silver Lining series.


Spoiler FreeπŸ‘‡πŸΌ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


We are back in Silver Lining folks. I’m really enjoying these novellas. This time you meet Griffin and Scarlet. These characters will definitely stay with me. It was definitely a quick read, and I enjoyed it very much. I definitely enjoyed both these characters and they brought so much to the story. Griffin took a little bit of time for me to like his character but overall he won me over! If you like tropes & hometown romances, this read is for you!

One More Chance (The Carson Brothers) by Stina Lindenblatt

 One More Chance (The Carson Brothers) by Stina Lindenblatt


Ten years ago, he was my brother’s best friend.

The man I sent letters to while they were deployed.

The man I fell in love with.


But then my world crashed around me.

I stopped sending him letters.

A secret flickered to life.

My brother died from PTSD.

And I stayed away from my hometown, too broken to return.

Until a hit and run has me rushing back.


Now, Lucas needs my help.

He needs me to be his wife.

He’s gotten himself into trouble, and someone wants to take him down.

I might be the only person who can save him.

Or I might be the one person who tears him apart…





One More Chance is the first novel in the Carson Brothers series. This dual point-of-view, small-town story is a standalone romance that deals with sensitive topics (including mental illness and loss of child) that may be triggering for some readers. 


Here’s my review minus spoilers 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me!! πŸ‘‡πŸΌ


I really enjoyed reading about Lucas & Simone. I found both of these characters interesting. I’m looking forward to read more in this series. These are definitely two characters that readers can connect with. If you enjoy a Small Town Romance read, this is definitely one you would enjoy. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Wishing for Always : A Best Friends to Lovers Novella (The Silver Lining Series Book 2) by L. M. Dalgleish

 

Wishing for Always : A Best Friends to Lovers Novella (The Silver Lining Series Book 2) by L. M. Dalgleish


I missed my chance to tell her how I felt once before, I'm not going to let it happen again...


Brody

For years I buried my feelings for my best friend, Skye, because she needed my friendship more than anything else.

Now she’s decided she’s finally ready to take a chance on falling in love.

Just... not with me.

But I refuse to stand by and watch her fall for another man. Not when I know we’re perfect for each other.

So, when we end up trapped in a snowed-in cabin, I use the opportunity to show Skye exactly how good we can be together.


Skye

Getting stuck in a cabin with my best friend shouldn’t have been a big deal.

But that was before he let me know exactly how he feels about me.

I’ve had a good reason for never letting myself see Brody as anything more than a friend, though. And I’m fighting this attraction with everything I have.

Only, I’m not sure I’m going to win. Because Brody is determined to make me his.

And I’ve got a feeling he won’t go down without a fight.


Wishing for Always is a steamy, dual POV, best-friends-to-lovers, contemporary romance novella set at beautiful Lake Tahoe. It is part of The Silver Lining multi-author series but can be read as a standalone.


My Review minus Spoilers

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me! πŸ’™


This is the Second Book in this series & follows Syke & Brody. I really enjoyed their story. There was spice but definitely a friends to more than friends read. Definitely a Friends to  Lovers Trope. It was a perfect read and you couldn’t help but root for these two. πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ”₯πŸ₯΅

Spencer Donato.

My brother’s best friend.

My dirty little secret.

We fell for each other at Lancaster Prep. Sneaking around. Not wanting anyone to find out. He was my first love, my protector, my knight in shining armor. We were made for each other, and I truly believed he was my forever.

But then I did the unthinkable, and betrayed him in the worst possible way. I thought I lost him for good…

Until I saw him at my brother’s wedding. Now he’s older. Crueler. Unbearably handsome. We’re drawn to each other still, but will Spencer be there for me when I need him the most? Or did I ruin us once again?

Too Much: Hayes Brothers Book 1 By I. A. Dice

 THALIA

Only regret the things you haven’t done.

Three suitcases and eight-hundred dollars to my name. That’s all I had when I fled my home country and moved half-way across the world to California. Escaping my past is easy when everyone I loved, and everyone I never met, deemed me public enemy number one. Making sure my past stays buried should be easy too. That’s until he comes along. I should stay away, protect my secret, and build my life from the ground up, but...

He's not a regret I want to have.

 

THEO

Entitled. Arrogant. Loaded. Equipped. Player.

The list goes on. I’ve been labeled since I can remember. I earned most of those labels too. And I regret nothing. Life is too short for regret. I live mine as if it’ll end tomorrow. Until she enters the bar; confident, sensible, and funny in her own special way. Walking, talking, breathing perfection. So why am I holding myself back on a short leash?

Good question.

Always Yours: A Small Town Second Chance Romance by A.J. Ranney

 She’s the one that got away. But I’m the guy who let her go.

I’ll admit it, I’m an idiot.

I walked away from the only girl I’ve ever loved.

I messed up. I know I don’t deserve a second chance, but I would give anything to make it right.

It’s too late. Bella’s made it abundantly clear those feelings died a long time ago. Why does she get so angry when all I’m trying to do is move on? It’s as if she’s suddenly interested in us again. Even if she is, I’m torn. The last time we tried, it almost destroyed us both.

She’s leaving soon, and my small town life is crumbling around me. I have to try. I have to see if there is still an us. I can’t let her get away again.

Given the option, she will forever be my always.



Author's Note: Always Yours is a full length, standalone, best friends to lovers, second chance, small town romance. Join this single mom and restaurant owner and their funny meddling family on a journey to their happily ever after. Content warning found on author's website.
