Better the Second Time Around
I read the first Secret Admirer’s Christmas Wish but wasn't that wild about it. But I always give authors a few chances before I decide whether or not to continue to read them. In this author's case, I am glad I checked out a second book. I found this to be a sweet, heartwarming tale that centers on, of all things, a high school reunion. The romantic couple T the heart of the story meet again as adults as they prepare for their class reunion. In the past, she had bee ...more

Past: Glenda harbored a secret crush. She was never bothered by her lack of good looks, but still she wanted Hunter to notice her. I could definitely relate to being the tall geek in the class. She was “Geeky Glenda.”
Present: Hunter’s soured by the holidays because it was the exact time when his adopted parents died. The last thing he wanted to do was plan a high school reunion during this time. Perhaps this Glenda person could help? Glenda couldn’t believe she was hearing from Hunter and was su ...more

Hunter is a financial wizard, rich, charismatic, a player. He's also heading the 10-year class reunion. Glenda was the shy and nerdy girl in school, really smart but not quite fitting in, and she had a huge crush on Hunter. She's a social worker now, and Hunter roped her into helping him plan the reunion. Jonathan and Cheryl from the first book make several appearances. Glenda's dog is in love with their dog. This is a nice book, very sweet and not too long. The characters work well together, an

Another delightful read in this series. The story about Glenda and Hunter was engaging to read and review. I loved the plot of the ugly duckling during high school, Glenda who grew up into a beautiful swan and Hunter the popular guy who made a success of himself who is chosen as the reunion speaker. The chemistry between them along with the drama, the pets, and written around the Christmas season kept me entertained to the end. The Secret Admirer's Christmas Wish 2 was just as endearing as the f

Hunter and Glenda are organizing the tenth-year class reunion and as they spend time together, they get to know each other.
Hunter is a good man who is damaged by her mum abandoned him as a little baby and all the years he spent in the system. Glenda is damaged too by how she was treated while in high school.
Little Bianca and Shaq put the sparks of humour in the story. I loved the end of the book although it feels a little rushed.

This is the story of Glenda and Hunter. She is the ugly duckling in high school who is now the beautiful swan. It’s time for her ten year high school reunion and she gets roped into helping with it. Now she gets to work with Hunter, who is running it and her biggest crush sophomore year. Hunter is shocked by her beauty and the sparks are ignited. I enjoyed this charming romance.

A sweetly written page turner! It's the tenth year high school reunion and Glenda is happy to ignore it and have it all go away. Then she finds out she will get to hang out with Hunter, her long time crush. She's changed from the unattractive, shy person she was in school and Hunter is shocked. Such a wonderful story, with great characters and perfect read for the holidays.

The overall story was okay but the ages of his adoptive parents and his birth mother were very confusing unless the author's idea of elderly and mine are completely different. The main characters were having a 10 year high school reunion - so that makes them 28. His birth mother had him at 16, so she's 44 - is that elderly?

I like the plot. A school reunion and rediscovering of the school crush. Complex emotions and relationships among characters. Not easy pasts and present situation. Well written and composed book. Well created characters with good background.

A very sweet and entertaining story. The characters were lovable and the storyline about the once ugly duckling turned swan and successful popular guy was both engaging and endearing. I haven't read the first book in the series, but it is on my To Read list for sure!
