People who are meant to be together find their way back. They may take a few detours, but they’re never lost.
I LOVE SECOND-CHANCE ROMANCES SOOO MUCH! These love stories are my absolute favorites!!! Soul mates who have always loved each other are granted a do-over…another chance. There is no greater love like second-chance love, this special love that finds its way back to two broken souls, this special love that summons the soul…MY SOUL. Second-chance romances speak to my soul like no other love ...more

4.5 -I did it all for the grovel- Stars
My name is Jewelsy and I'm a grovel & chase addict. It's no secret. Some people get off on alpha gazillionaires, some people get off on kinky BDSM or threesomes, and Jewelsy gets herself off on masochistic grovellers who don't know when to give up.
This story started off sooooo good and stayed that way, up until the last 15% where it wasn't all bad, but kinda just plateaued for me (hence my 0.5 star drop). I still got to get my grovel & chase fix (because t ...more

MAJOR GROVEL ALERT
Anyone who follows my reviews with any kind of regularity knows I'm super picky about second chance romances. One of my biggest pet peeves is lack of communication/the characters quickly falling into bed together. Also, if necessary, I like my grovels to be damn good, with the aggrieved party being appropriately angry and not forgiving too quickly. And the grovel in this one? One word...

After a promising start to the Renegades series with Wilder, I couldn't wait to dive in and see what Landon 'Nova' Rhodes' story would bring.
"I was going to win her back. Not just her friendship. Her heart. Her love."
Whiplash anyone?

I love this author. I love her writing, her well developed characters, her attention to detail and her thorough research. I also love how she never stops surprising me with the twists and turns of her stories. I also have to say, again, that she writes the swooniest heroes. You know that although flawed, when it comes to romance and being in love, her heroes are hands down the best of the best. And Landon (Nova) is no exception, this man is capital letters SWOONY!

I feel like I have been waiting forever for Nova. Ever since the climactic reveal of who Rachel was I knew I had to know their story and damn it was a ride. But of course Rebecca Yarros always knows exactly which strings to pull to wrap me up in a ball of nerves and anticipation.
There was so much to this story that I don’t know what to say without spoiling anything for you. It felt like every time I got to an aha moment there was a whole other layer that still needed to be peeled back for me to ...more

Ugh this one annoyed me so much. I read for the romance so Rachel still pushing Landon away at 60 odd percent drove me bat shit crazy. Then when all in the garden is rosy(ish) the author throws yet another spanner in the works and yep, you guessed it, she's pushing him away AGAIN. I love a grovel, I'm all for an epic grovel but do you know, this one was just too much. Poor Landon worked and worked and worked again to get back in with her and it got to the point I wanted him to walk away.

I absolutely loved this "second chance" romance. The only problem I had, was that I jumped straight into it, skipping book 1. I think that if you want to enjoy this story to the fullest, you should read book 1 first. Because I didn't, the beginning was pretty confusing to me, which was totally my fault and not the author. Thankfully things started falling into place more and more, the further I got.

I LOVE second chance romances but I’m not exactly a fan of them when the hero becomes a manwhore during the time he and the heroine are broken up.

Nova was a wonderful, entertaining and page turning read. And I loved it!
In Nova, Landon gets his second chance with the one girl who's ever touched his heart, no slash that, the only girl who's ever owned his heart. The girl who takes his breath away, the only girl who can see past the all flirting to see the real Landon, and not Nova (Casanova) and the one girl who just gets him.
Now, if only he can make Rachel forgive him for the way things ended, for breaking her heart and trust in him ...more

Let me start by saying I already was critical about starting this book because the MCs are cheaters. Essentially the h dated the H of the first book and cheated on him with this book's h.

Landon “Nova” Rhodes is a gorgeous womanizer who is into everything extreme. But he’s about to come face to face with the one girl, the only girl who meant anything to him. The one he can’t forget.
Rachel didn’t realize that while doing the college program aboard the cruise ship that she’d be facing her past. From all angles. But after realizing the manipulation that put her on the ship, she’s left having to face the man who destroyed her heart. The one guy she’s loved and the guy who walked awa ...more

It’s hard to rate a book when the male protagonist has everything stacked against him and everything else skewed in the favour of the heroine whom he’d treated so badly a long time ago. (Casa)Nova, aka Landon, is hard not to despise for his actions which I found abhorrent in every way: ditching the girl he loved, then self-medicating the hurt away by becoming a manwhore and then only rushing to make reparations when they meet again— while keeping hair-raising secrets along the way.

“Rachel was my center, my gravity, the perfect balance to me in every way. She was the only woman I would ever love, and I couldn’t picture my life without her now that I finally had her back.”
I’ve never read a book with as many drama as a this one, and for some reason instead of boring me or irritating me I actually enjoyed it. Before I started this book I read some reviews, and a lot of people didn’t like this book because Rachel made Landon grovel for too long and that kind of made the ...more

I thought Wilder was amazing but he's got NOTHING on Nova! Landon Rhodes is a ladies man, nobody thought he had a heart or that he was still hung up on "THE ONE"! What we learn about Landon is that he is truly an exceptional man with a heart of gold. He loves with his whole heart and who knew he would find his heart again once Rachel steps abroad the yacht. My heart ached for both Rachel and Landon. These two have been to hell and back. They've both become a shell of a person because of their lo

Second chances don't always come around, but Landon gets his the minute the love of his life shows up on board. It's been two years since he walked away from her, choosing the Renegades over a life with her. A choice he's regretted everyday since, and is now known as Casanova for his reputation with women. (It's actually disgusting).
Rachel has avoided Landon for almost a week now, he has no idea she's on board the ship, but she's stuck there for 6 months, she'll have to face him eventually. She ...more

Wish we could have had some scenes from when Wilder and Rachel were dating so we could have gotten the full gravitas of the situation, but Rebecca Yarros just skips over that fairly quickly in favor of dealing with the ghosting issue. That said, I love how she writes, I love all these characters, I'm addicted.
