By Shadowplay Nothing tugs at my heart the most as when two hurting and lonely people find each other in a most unexpected way! I believe that thought perfectly sums up the beautiful premise of this touching story. It might sound old to some, but for me it will never ever grow old. As one who has a hard time finding my worth at times, the healing and hope I found within these pages will forever stick with me. It’s impossible for me to forget how I felt while reading even if I happen forget the name and book title. The memories we store in our heart live and breathe with us every day of our life.Francie Davis recently felt the sting of her husband’s death along with sending her only child off to college. These huge changes bring some anxiety and excitement back into her life. She isn’t sure how she will make it on her own, but to be free of the poor treatment of her husband is a huge relief. Perhaps now, she can begin to nurture her self-confidence back to life. Alex Diederik’s life is slowly spiraling out of control. His ex-wife is wreaking havoc on his life as well as their daughter’s, and she isn’t sorry for any of it. He worries and tries his best to reach out his daughter Sam, but the harder he tries, the more she pulls away from him. With the new school year starting and new changes being made to the administrative staff, Alex is worried that his life is going to be one long year of heartbreak and chaos that he is not ready to face.With a little hesitation but a heart full of hope, I started this journey of Francie and Alex. What I discovered was with a little courage and the willingness to look past our own suffering, there is no limit to the impact that we can have on the lives of those around us. Francie’s tender heart and easy friendship brought about a major transformation in Sam while Alex’s tenderness and persistence slowly pieced together and started to heal Francie’s shattered heart. Alex not only found a reason to love again, but it was the change he saw in Sam that brought light and hope back into his world. Three hurting and lonely souls found the love they craved, the hope they desperately needed, and the healing that they never imagined would make them whole again.These incredible characters broke my heart while watching each of them suffer thinking that they weren’t worthy of the love, attention, and acceptance of anyone. Oh, how so far from the truth that was! They were each a priceless, stunning treasure, and waiting patiently until that was realized by the others was almost maddening at times. It’s almost impossible to crawl out from underneath a suffocating cloud of being told that you are worthless and unlovable, so it was amazing that each of these heavy-hearted people decided to take a leap of faith and shrug off their all-consuming burden to help someone else who needed them. Hope radiated from every corner of this story, and it touched my heart in a way that I won’t forget. Perhaps one day, I will win the war with these same struggles in my own life.Donna K. Weaver has touched my heart like few authors have. She ripped open old and new wounds, but then showed me that it is possible for all of them to finally heal. No punches were pulled, but she showed that hope can live among and conquer despair. Each of us is worth so much more than the short-sighted opinion of one person. I hope that the journey of Francie and Alex will show that our self-worth can never come from another person. It has to come from our own heart, and the heart of those who see us as we really are.

There's nothing I love more than a second chance romance but this one was a little different. Where most Second Chance stories focus on a couple trying to reconnect this one brings together two people looking for a second chance at life and love having suffered through some bad past experiences romantically. Alex and Francie meet when she takes a job as his assistant at the University he works at. Their first meeting is slightly rocky after Alex bites her head off and nobody holds a grudge better than Francie. Both are attracted to the other but will interoffice policy against dating coworkers stand in their way?Francie's character was introduced to me in the last book Lost And Found. I didn't really pay too much attention to Francie because I was so absorbed in the budding romance between Lydia and Blake and for some reason I thought, with a name like Francie, that she was...well...old. I must have glanced over the fact that she was a young single mother so I was happy I got another chance to get it right. Francie is coming off a difficult time in her life after the death of her cantankerous husband Greg. Now that he isn't around to hold her back and her son Rafe is heading to college she can focus on going back to school and getting her degree. I loved the tenacity in this woman. She managed to raise a kid with a spouse who verbally abused her almost daily and helped get him into a top college for her efforts. Francie sacrificed so much for her son that she's having to live off her home grown garden in order to eat everyday. Her survival instinct and her personality were what I loved most about her. She wasn't too hard and she wasn't too soft. Francie was a great balance of down to earth and assertive female.Alex is a divorced father to daughter Samantha who is going through a goth phase since he split with his ex wife. Aside from the fact that his ex is a complete PITA who gives him hell at every opportunity, he's also dealing with budget cutbacks at the university he teaches at which causes him to share an assistant with his sleazeball coworker adding to his frustrations. I found myself really loving Alex throughout the story even though he seemed to have a little bit of an anger issue at first. It wasn't hard to understand the stress his ex wife always seemed to put him under especially with his worries of her turning their daughter against him. Alex was a devoted father and a hard working professor who loved teaching and seeing how his ex brow beat him about his passion really brought home the fact that Alex deserved to be angry. More and more I wanted to see him happy because he was just a decent, good guy who deserved a break. What really sold me on his character was how MUCH he loved his daughter. I'm a sucker for a dad who puts his children first and the fact that Alex was a pretty buff borderline nerdy guy was perfect for me. His relationship with Samantha was difficult at times but he always put his feelings aside to mend fences with her.The romance between Alex and Francie was slow growing at first mainly because it took them forever to get out of their own way. Alex's initial gruff personality to Francie didn't help her general assessment but I was glad to see they moved past that. Office romances especially in a school setting with all the scandals in the forefront are considered to be frowned upon now. Despite their growing attraction, another office coworker makes it harder for them to enjoy anything with his constant meddling. Alex's daughter Samantha turned out to be a surprise player in the game and I really enjoyed seeing the bond between her and Francie grow stronger with every page. What started as Francie befriending the troubled girl quickly became a bond Francie couldn't live without after experiencing empty nest syndrome most parents go through when their kid leaves home. Samantha had a surprising role in not only Alex and Francie's relationship but a side story involving the sleazeball that worried me at first but soon had me cheering the goth diva.Second Chances 101 just might be my favorite in the Ripple Effect Romance series. A series that started off by introducing a set of characters and who interacted with a particular secondary character who would then get their own story. I have to say I have loved the idea of this. How one author builds the character and passes them off to another author who then nurtures and cares for them. Each one has done an outstanding job of making sweet and tender romances seem believable and deep within a few short pages. As sometimes happens with novellas for me I was bitten by the "More" bug. By the time this story came to a close I was not ready for the story to end. I loved these characters so much I could absolutely see myself enjoying a full length novel with them and where they are after. Second Chances 101 was a fantastic quick little read with a great hero and heroine that will resonate with readers both younger and older. If you love a good second chance love story and don't have much time to devote to a full novel then grab this one asap!

Each author has such a different way of writing, yet the stories all tie together so well. My heart went out to Francie. It can't be easy to basically start over in your late 30s, yet she manages to do it fairly well. I loved how Francie went back to the basics in life. She doesn't have money, so she grows and harvests a very large garden, so that she's able to cut her food costs drastically. I love how she's willing to share that knowledge with others, especially Rose. Sometimes some hard work brings such a great sense of accomplishment and a person's value is restored.My heart always went out to her boss, Alex. Life isn't always fair and it can be pretty hard. Unfortunately, Francie's first meeting with him didn't go well. Even though he let his anger get the best of him, it was obvious that his emotions don't define who he is and he went to great strides to try and fix his mistake.I really enjoyed the romance in this one. The characters were a little older and more experienced, yet it was still gradual and tentative. The Epilogue was especially great!Content: no language or violence; brief mention of underage drinking/partying and sex in exchange for favors, but they're portrayed in a way that shows it's wrong.**I received a copy in exchange for an honest review**
