Second Chance, Baby

"Second Chance, Baby" is definitely a great book! This is the third book in The Braddocks: Secret Son series. This time, A. C. Arthur woves a story of love, a great love that goes through what most loves experiences -- love, heartbreak, heartache, reconciliation, and finally, if it is a love that is meant to do, -- a binding love that lasts forever. Tyson Braddock is a hard working guy, that feels he has something to prove -- being the second child of three, Ty feels he is in the middle of everything. His older brother, Malcolm is a take control, take-charge kind of guy while his baby sister, Shondra is a smart, successful, woman who knows what she wants and usually gets it. Therefore, Ty puts all his energy into his work, working long hours to achieve what he wants -- to be successful on his own, not making it on the family's name or because his father was Senator Braddock. However, while Ty is busily working, he forgets that he has a beautiful wife, Felicia at home. Felicia is a school teacher, who loves children and loves her job, but she also loves her husband and her home. Felicia knows how to separate work from home life. She is now beginning to wonder if Ty knows and can do the same. This is their chance at trying to make their marriage work. After being separated a while, they come together for comfort that developed into more than just being there for one another providing support at a time when they both needed it. They discovered that they still loved one another and chose that moment to get physically involved. Now they are execting parents, so it is not only a second chance for them, but a chance for them as parents also. Felicia wants this marriage to work and Ty thinks he does to. However, Ty's actions are a little too much for Felicia's mind, heart and body. Especially, when her feelings about their relationship starts to interfere with her health and the health of their unborn child. Felicia has a tough decision to make -- one that will affect them all. She leaves again for the good of them all and Ty is forced once and for all to make a decision -- one that is a costly one and can cost him not only his one true love, Felicia, but the love of their unborn child. So, Ty stays away for some time, but in the end his heart knows where he wants to be and so does Felicia's heart. The love that runs from each of them comes back together as one true love giving both of them a second chance. Wonderful, love story of a binding love and commitment!

I was not aware this book was part of a series until the end. This book really holds its own. The characters are a part of this book and do not give off the hint that you missed the first two books of the series. A neglected woman Felicia's only request is that her husband give her his time. Tyson's priorities are different. He wants money, power and success at all costs. Due to the tragic death of the Braddock patriarch Congressman Braddock the whole family is in turmoil. Felicia had left her husband due to neglect prior to the death of his father but the tragedy caused a one night reconciliation that produced a pregnancy. It took almost losing his child and wife for good in order for Tyson to realize it was time to realign his priorities. He finally got them together and his wife is the happiest woman on earth. A romantic story about love and marriage with a few mystery and dramatic scenes that lead up to the next installment. This book is a must read for the romantic.

This story was great. It started out a little slow and I questioned it at first, but after I got into it, it proved to be a very good read. I read it in one day. The chemistry between the characters felt so real and the family bond was awesome. How everyone came together to support Ty in saving his marriage with Felicia shows true family love and bonding. I loved the book and I recommend it to everyone. I can't wait to read the next segment of the Braddocks which will be by Brenda Jackson entitled, "The Object of His Protection". It promises to be a great read. Get this book, it will be worth it.

This is a wonderful novel about the power of love and what it means to really work at rebuilding a relationship when the romance has soured. Felicia and Ty had to find their way back to one another after years of putting their marriage on hold. Felicia had to make some tough decisions and learn to put her wants and needs first. Ty had to figure out what was really important in life. Together they had to fight for the love they once knew. I liked that this novel focused on a married couple and gave us a glimpse at love AFTER the happily-ever-after. A. C. Arthur does a wonderful job and bringing tenderness and passion to Ty and Felicia's story. The love scenes where steamy and very emotional. A. C. Arthur certainly gives us something we can feel with this installment to the Braddock Family Series. I enjoyed this novel and can't wait to see how the series wraps up. Wonderful job, Ms. Arthur! Kudos!

I looooooved the book the characters are awesome Felicia and Tyson are the best couple ever at times i wanted to smack him upside the head and say wake up brother smell the coffee but you will laugh cry be scared go through the whole nine yards of emotions. An awesome job Ms. Arthur. I HIGHLY recommend reading this book and i cant wait for the last part of the series by Miss Jackson
