Review:

I have received this book from the author in exchange of an honest review and after having read Treasure Me (which I really enjoyed) I was curious and excited.

After losing her best friend Dr. Mary Chance inherits Second Chance Grill. A strong-minded woman, she is determined to turn the business around and make it profitable, even though she has no real idea of what she should do. 

She plans to go back to Cincinnati and her carrer in a year but when she meets twelve years old cancer survivor Blossom and her father Anthony, her plans might just change.

This book is filled with great characters and strong women.  Blossom is a bit of a troublemaker but she can also be very determined, mature and strong.

Mary has gone through a lot and the new challenge she is facing isn’t easy but she doesn’t give up, which makes her a really good character.

Anthony is a good character as well – sweet and reliable.

I enjoyed being able to read about Liberty and the grill again. Second Chance Grill is an emotional, sexy, sweet, fun and realistic story.

The book deals with some important topic like illness and death in a very realistic and interesting way that was able to keep me captivated.

All in all, I really enjoyed this book and think Christine Nolfi did a great job creating such a realistic and emotional story. Second Chance Grill is an interesting story with good and strong characters.
