About this ebook

He’s the one she’s never forgotten.

She’s the one he regrets letting go.

Now they have a second chance to get it right.

When Skye Tremont runs into her sexy former flame, Tripp Daniels, she’s reminded of the baby pact they’d made years ago… If she was single and childless by the age of thirty, he’d step in and be her baby daddy and fulfill her dream of having a child.

Now, after a bitter divorce that has left her guarding her heart, and wanting only one thing, Skye is ready to take Tripp up on his promise. When he’s one of the bachelors up for bid at a charity auction, it’s the perfect opportunity to have him all to herself for a weekend of baby making fun, as long as he agrees to her terms.

Tripp is on board to fulfill the promise he made to Skye. If he’s going to have a baby with anyone, it’s going to be the one woman he’d foolishly let slip through his fingers. But not this time because he’s all in. Skye is even more beautiful than he remembers, and the chemistry between them is hotter than ever, but while she gives him free rein with her body, she’s made it clear her heart is off limits.

Now, with a second chance within his grasp, Tripp is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the woman he loves and give them both the family they’ve always craved.

Ratings and reviews

This is the third book in the series. I love a good second chance romance and this book was an excellent one! Man does Tripp just make me swoon. My heart goes out to Skye. Her backstory and the hard marriage she left behind has left a lasting impact on her. The way she has not crumbled, but rose from the ashes is unbelievably inspiring. Running into Tripp once again when she about to make a dream of hers come true is fate. Tripp kicks himself for letting her go years ago.

Tripp and Skye’s second chance romance was a lighthearted and lovely read. While there was some intrigue and drama, overall the story revolved around Skye learning to trust Tripp and open her heart to him following a previous break up and subsequent abusive marriage to another man. I found the story a little drawn out, however both main characters were likeable and engaging, and there were plenty of sweet and steamy scenes to keep me turning the pages. Overall an enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed Skye and Tripp’s story. Second chance romances can be a hit or miss for me. This one was a hit even if the premise was a little too out there for me. But, Ms Phillips makes it work. Even though Skye went through a horrible divorce from a man who was emotionally and mentally controlling, she was slowly getting her old self back. Tripp realized that he made a mistake when he walked away from her. What will bring them back together?
