Find the Perfect Second Chance Romance this Memorial Day

Posted on by — Leave a reply

What better way to enjoy the long weekend coming up than with a romantic escape? Whether you’re looking for something light-hearted or a steamy page-turner, there’s no shortage of romance books available for Memorial Day weekend. How about one of my favorite tropes, a second-chance romance?

Memorial Day

Here are a few tips on how to find the perfect romance that’s sure to keep you turning the pages all weekend long.

Reviews

When it comes to finding your next great read, first ask for help! Reading reviews from trusted sources such as Amazon and Goodreads can help you narrow down your choices and decide which book is right for you. If you know someone who loves romance novels, ask them what they recommend or follow their reviews online—chances are they have recommendations that will suit your taste.

Pay Attention to Writing Style

When looking for the perfect second chance romance, read samples. What type of language is used in the dialogue and description. If it doesn’t seem like a good fit, move on—there are lots of romances available.

Read Between the Lines

A book cover tells a lot. It’s more than just an image—it can also give you clues to the tone and themes of the story. For example, if a book has a red background with two people embracing under an umbrella, chances are it’s going to be a sweet romance about two people overcoming obstacles together. If it has a blue background with two people standing apart but looking at each other longingly, it could indicate that this is a love story with dramatic tension.

Whether you’re looking for something light-hearted or more intense, finding the perfect second chance romance isn’t difficult. With careful research, paying attention to writing style and reading between the lines, anyone can find their next great read this Memorial Day weekend.

Go ahead and give yourself permission for some much-deserved relaxation this Memorial Day because you deserve it! And don’t forget that nothing says ‘romance’ like curling up on the couch with your next favorite read. Enjoy!

Celebrate the Season with Sweet Romance

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

As April showers bring May flowers, they also bring a sense of hope and renewal. There’s no better time to celebrate the season than with romance. Here are some ideas to help ignite a spark in your relationship.

Sweet Romance

One of the best ways to get out of a rut is to go on an adventure together. It could be something as simple as taking a walk in the park or going for a drive in the country. Or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can plan something bigger like a weekend getaway or an international trip. A trip together creates shared experiences and lasting memories.

Plan Date Nights

Just because you’re already in a relationship doesn’t mean date night should end. In fact, it should be just as special now as it was when you were first dating. Plan regular date nights where you can spend quality time together without any distractions or interruptions. Taking time to share sweet moments or express physical affection. In these ways, you’ll show your partner that they are special no matter how long you’ve been together.

Spring is here, and love is in the air. So, take advantage of the season by planning adventures with your partner and having regular date nights. These gestures will show them how much they mean to you.

On a chance business trip, however, he meets the one person who throws his life into a whirlwind–Jaynee.

Five years later, Jordan finds Jaynee on their back porch with a gunshot wound to the head. While Jaynee lies in a coma, Jordan has to go back to their beginning and figure out what went wrong. Did he push his wife to the edge, or has her past come back to haunt them?
