Second Chance, Baby

Braddocks Secret Son #3

by A.C. Arthur

Except for one passion-filled night after his father's funeral, Ty and Felicia Braddock's marriage had been cold for years. Now Felicia was pregnant…and unwilling to bring a child into a home with a workaholic, absentee father. She wanted a divorce, but for their child's sake Ty demanded she give their vows a second chance. But the challenging vixen Felicia had become was nothing like the sweet-tempered, predictable woman he remembered. More and more the driven financial executive found himself wanting to spend less time at the office and more time making love to his oh-so-desirable wife.…

Felicia desperately wanted their marriage to work. But would their newfound desire be enough to make her husband the family man that she and their baby needed?

I havent touched the rest of this series, I was told these novels could be stand alones and I guess they can to some degree but not really. I almost wish I had the rest of them. However this novel in the series concentrated on the heroine not being happy with her hero husband, so she separates from him only to find herself making love to him after the hero father's funeral. When the hero sees her three months later, he is informed that she is pregnant and he will now do anything to get her back. Meanwhile the investigation on his father's continues and they are thinking it's definitely murder..

Second Chance, Baby. This book was a good story showing a marriage on the brink of being destroyed but love comes in and shows how it conquers all. Ty and Felicia are finding it hard to keep their marriage going because they both start worrying about others instead each other. After Ty Braddock's father dies Felicia comes to support Ty but it wasn't enough. Felicia finds out she is pregnant and hopes this will bring them together. This is a good read!

After the Happily Ever After

This book gives us the “after” part of the HEA that most stories end with. They fell in love and lived happily ever after, the end. But no so fast, this story gives us a view into the perils of maintaining a relationship and maintaining balance in life. Great job on this one!

Good book

The manner of writing is the same, clear, concise and excellent as I have come to enjoy from this talented author. The storyline was lackluster and unimaginative. This is not I'm accustomed to reading the other works. The series, (The Donovan's friends and the Donovans) are more captivating and engaging.

Whew!

Mystery after mystery and then the cliff hanger. This book was a great read. Definitely a page turner. I wasn't ready for what was to come at the end.

That Cliffhanger Though

Wow... And the plot thickens. I can't wait for everything to be revealed and to see how the Braddocks respond to whom Drey's biological actually is.

I am normally a fan of A.C. Arthur's books and think characters are fabulous, but this one missed just a little bit for me. It was good,but I agree it started out slow. I think Felicia was manipulative, needy and lacked true understanding. I understand she was pregnant, but she got on my nerves. That little stunt she pulled was a bit over the top and she truly was overly dramatic through-out the whole story. It just missed the mark for me and I was disappointed

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this love story. I especially loved now Ty realized his problems of being their for his soulmate before it was to late. Felecia could have been a little more understanding since he was trying. Trust and honesty are always at the top of my list when it comes to relationships, everything else I can deal with. I was glad that true love was able to win in the end. Awesome read and an awesome series .

Second Chances

Third times the charm...not my favorite A.C. Arthur novel...but still a GREAT installment to "The Braddocks: Secret Son" series. Enjoyed the story of Tyson and Felicia trying to RECAPTURE the life and love they once had so long ago. DEFINITELY looking forward to reading the conclusion to this series.

[Delaney Diamond · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like A.C. Arthur and I like reading romances about married couples, but didn't fall in love with this story. I can't quite put my finger on it, but perhaps the plot just moved a little too slowly for my taste. Overall, a decent read, but I wasn't excited to turn the pages like others I've read from her.

[Joyce M. H. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book, Tyson and Felicia, Second Chance, Baby would much rather have my husband mistress be his job rather an actual lady. Understood why Felicia was unset with Ty but there was great love between the two. For you Donovan book lovers Brandon Donovan is briefly mentioned as one of Ty's associates.

Now on to read "The Object Of His Protection" by Brenda Jackson.

[Shannan Harper · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was so glad to re read this story, and that's something I rarely do. Book 3 in the Braddock series, and in this one, Ty and Felicia's marriage has been in trouble for a while, until a one time intimate moment after the death of the family's patriarch causes a pregnancy no one expected. I enjoyed it, and now it's time to finish up the rest of the books in the series.

Second Chance, Baby

The third book of the Braddock Series was really really spellbinding. I can't wait to read book number four. I recommend this book to everyone who loves romance novels.

[Rhapsody Phoenix · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good read, it flows nicely, the characters are relate-able and it speaks to some real issues in the everyday. It toots the importance of priorities and how one if they are not careful can lose what really matters if those priorities are out of whack.

[Bettye Griffin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice change of pace, a romance about a couple who is already married but whose marriage is in trouble.

[Ariana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not the ending I would've liked but still enjoyed it.

To close to home

[Jackie Vanderpool · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book kept my attention. It was a good story line and the ending had a shocker to it.
