From USA Today bestselling author Kieran Kramer, comes Second Chance at Two Love Lane, a fast-paced tale about the intoxicating effects of fame and what happens when a past romance is rekindled behind the silver screen.
Sometimes love is waiting in the second act…
In her professional career, Ella Mancini plays matchmaker at Two Love Lane but, in her personal life, she takes the stage at the Dock Street Theatre. Now she has a chance at a new role in a Hollywood movie that happens to be filming in Charleston—one that features a big-name actress, Samantha Drake. Long ago, Ella passed up a major audition while awaiting a marriage proposal. Not only didn’t she get the role; she never got the ring, either. Instead, her boyfriend Hank went on to become a huge film star…leaving her, and all her dreams, behind.
But now Hank’s back in Charleston, cast as the male lead in the same movie Ella’s in. In spite of the dramatic tension off-screen, he and Ella try to stay cool onset. But when their old feelings start to heat up—at the same time leading-lady Samantha tries to play cupid—all bets are off. How can Hank convince Ella, after all this time, that she’s the one he really wants to be with in real life—and that some happy, rom-com endings really can come true?
Today’s the release of Second Chance at Two Love Lane by Kieran Kramer so I thought I’d post my review today too! Second Chance at Two Love Lane is the third book in the Two Love Lane series. As the title implies, this book is about a second chance for two lovers who were previously torn apart by ambition.
Our heroine is this book is Ella Mancini, who is a partner in a popular matchmaking agency named — you guessed it “Two Love Lane”. The agency covers everything about matching folks together from finding the perfect match for the client to preparing and planning their wedding. Ella’s partners in the agency are Macy and Greer, who are the heroines of previous books in the series, and Miss Thing. Ella is also an actress who is involved with community theater in Charleston, South Carolina.
The other main character of this book is Hank. Hank threw everything away to pursue his career of becoming a mega-star and that included leaving Ella behind. While this broke Ella’s heart at the time, it also helped make her stronger and helped form the woman she has become. Now Hank is back in town and this time he is looking for redemption and wants a second chance with the one person he has never been able to forget – you guessed it again – Ella.
While this book definitely serves as a standalone, it’s always great to read all the books in a series. Either way, you’ll really enjoy this contemporary small town kind of romance. It’s a quick read that’s well written and the characters and their actions are quite believable. I felt like they could have been some of my neighbors and friends! Ms. Kramer knows how to write a great romance, that’s for sure!
