About this ebook
Who doesn't love a second chance?
When Mallory Farrell inherits her grandmother's run-down tourist shop in Portside, Oregon, she knows selling it is the only sensible thing to do. The place holds treasured memories for her, but it would take a fortune to restore it.
But when she learns that her childhood crush, Grayson Matthews, wants to buy the building to redevelop the funky town's business district into a soulless, cookie-cutter outdoor mall, Mallory digs in her heels. With a lot of hard work and a little bit of help, she is sure she can renovate the property herself.
Though Mallory makes incredible progress turning the store into an eclectic home decor shop, she's heartbroken when an exciting opportunity turns into a guaranteed nightmare. Should she surrender her dreams to Grayson's bulldozers? Or is there a future for both of them in this charming seaside town?

Second Time Around is a slow burn sweet romance with a Hallmark vibe. The characters are older, in their 40’s, with grown children both looking for a second chance at following dreams and finding love. It’s an easy, gentle story that’s perfect for the beach or a stormy day. If you’re a fan of design and fixer upper shows, you’ll love this. I enjoyed the slow burn romance as Grayson and Mallory go from enemies to friends to more.

This was an enjoyable read and a sweet story of Mallory who inherits her grandmother's old shop. As she renovates the shop, she finds stress, some family conflict and expenses she hadn't necessarily planned on. Maybe the shop should be sold? It's a fun, relaxing read that I liked reading very much. Mallory is middle-aged and so it was easy to relate to her and fun to see the second chance romance that grows. I recd a comp. copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
