If you like hunky cowboys who don't always know the right thing to do, then you'll love Mike Farley! He finally gets it right in the end. Everyone deserves Second Chances at love!

Jane Porter's dreams of marrying Mike Farley, the handsome cowboy who lives on the neighboring ranch, are shattered when Mike suddenly marries a redheaded stranger he met at the Wild Horse Saloon in Casper, Wyoming. After Mike stomped all over Jane's heart with his cowboy boots, can Jane ever trust her heart to a man again?

Mike Farley marries beautiful Samantha Jo Smith after a whirlwind courtship with no thought to Jane Porter, his childhood sweetheart and the woman everyone in Fremont County thought he would marry one day. Mike soon learns to regret his hasty marriage to Samantha. Can Mike win back Jane's heart even though he had shattered it into a million pieces?

Longtime friends and neighbors Jim Porter and Liz Farley turn to each other for support after the unexpected death of their spouses. Will Jim and Liz's friendship turn into something deeper even though they both feel they have had, and lost, their chance at love?

Is it ever too late for love? Is it ever too late for second chances?

Set in rural Wyoming, Second Chances is a sweet contemporary western romance that will warm your heart. One reader stated, "I read it through in an evening, and felt as if I had spent that evening with 'salt of the earth' folk." Another reader said, "I loved the double, no triple, second chances. It was a very sweet ending."

L. Mihay posted this great review at Amazon.com:
Mike & Jane have grown up, together, on neighboring ranches, kissed & declared their love for one another at 13 & 12. It's always been assumed that they would marry, but suddenly Mike goes off the deep end, marrying a total stranger he met 2 weeks before. Is Jane upset. You BET!!!! This is a story of love rocked to the core by betrayal. Do the characters react like you think they should? Not a chance...BUT they react like real people (some, at least) do.

In the background is Jane's widower Father, and Mike's widowed Mother, who finally admit that they don't think of each other as Brother & Sister any more. Second chances do happen, and watching this undercurrent develop is endearing.

This is a clean book, of heartbreak, love and second chances.

Review
Four stars! "Fans of western romance will welcome a new voice. Kenny's powerful debut--with its seductive marriage-of-convenience plot -- has snappy dialogue, appealing characters, a passionate romance and a few too-close-for-comfort accidents that will keep readers on the edge of their seats as they turn the pages." --Maria Ferrer -- Romantic Times Book Reviews March 2007

Product Description
Cord Tanner has a very simple plan: get paid to be Beatrix Northroupe's husband for a month so the prim, but sexy, Englishwoman can gain rightful ownership of her family's stud farm. Money in hand, he's going to get as far away from Revolt, Kansas, as a fast horse can take him.

But Cord soon finds that he admires his Trixie's reckless courage--not to mention she's one great kisser. Maybe he's crazy to hope for a real future with her instead of heading for the hills, but now that someone's staking a dangerous claim to her farm, Cord's decided to stick around as long as the lady needs protecting. That wedding ring he put on her finger means her reputation is safe--and he's determined to win her heart. Cord Tanner may not be the most refined man on the frontier, but he sure is the lovingest..."

Heart of Stone by Sandra Kay

A marriage in name only. A secret past. Can love be found amid the tangle of distrust and betrayal? Alone and pregnant with twins, Amber Wilson has only a fuzzy memory of how she got that way. One thing she knows for sure—no man will ever get near enough to hurt her again. But when she meets Stone Brandon, the attraction is too great to ignore. Stone’s ex-fiancée’s betrayal has hardened his heart. Though he is drawn to Amber, he knows he can never fall in love again. Still, with her help, the dreams he has for the expansion of his family’s ranch can become a reality. A platonic marriage seems like the logical answer for both of them—until he realizes that a marriage in name only with Amber is a hell of his own making.


From Sandra Kay's website:

My name is Sandra Kay. I am a published author with The Wild Rose Press, Yellow Rose Line. Cowboys, the eternal icon of the old west -- and the present day west -- are my heroes. There's just something about a Stetson tilted just right, Wrangler's that fit like a glove, and cowboy boots!

Currently, I'm writing contemporary western romance novels, and I am in the process of completing the sequel to Heart of Stone. This 2nd book in the Brandon Cattle Ranch series has a working title of Cady's Chance. The 3rd book is about Tyler Brandon, and the 4th and final in the series will be about the youngest brother, Jefferson.

The Brandon's have a cattle ranch in Central Texas, a beautiful part of the great state of Texas. Having visited there many times on my granddaddy's farm, I have first hand knowledge of the beauty and greenness of that area.

I love the characters in this series, and hope that you will, as well.

One reader said:

Best romance book as of late! (5 stars)

I think Kristie Leigh Maguire, Author of "Second Chances" has written her BEST BOOK yet! It kept my interest to the very end and I didn't want to put it down when I had to. She had a unique twist that kept the love birds alive with a happy ending, which I loved. Overall, a very well written romance book and entertaining. Thanks for placing this on kindle for all of us to download and enjoy. I'll be looking forward to more books like this from Kristie Leigh Maguire. She is the best!

I am often asked where I get the ideas for my stories. Second Chances came about when a friend of mine read an ad in the classifieds of her local newspaper. The ad read, "Free wedding dress. Worn only once by mistake." I wanted to know the story behind the story. Since I had no way of finding this out, my imagination kicked in and filled in the blanks. Thus Second Chances was born.

Here is the back cover blurb:

"Free wedding dress. Worn only once by mistake." One simple little ad, but it turned the whole world upside down (or perhaps right side up) for not only one couple, but for two couples.

Mike Farley stomped on Jane Porter's heart with his cowboy boots. When he realized he had made the biggest mistake of his life, could he ever get it back the way it should be? Ma Liz Farley and Pa Jim Porter decided they had to do anything they could to make it right. But were they really willing to go "all the way" to accomplish it?

Set in rural Wyoming, Second Chances is a delightful read that will warm your heart as much as the fireplace will warm your cheeks.


I hope you enjoy the read!

Second Chances is also available in paperback. You can purchase it from Amazon.com or ask for it at your local bookstore.

Kristie Leigh Maguire is the author of Second Chances, Affairs of the Heart: Desert Heat and Cabin fever (Collector's Edition) Desert Heat, Cabin Fever, No Lady and Her Tramp (along with co-author Mark Haeuser), Emails from the Edge: The Life of an Expatriate Wife, and From the Far Side of the Sun, and has participated in several anthologies.

Kristie Leigh Maguire and her husband have lived all over the United States and many foreign countries while following his career. While living in Japan, she found it very difficult to find books to read that were written in English. This situation was intolerable as she was an avid reader and had been known to resort to reading cereal boxes if nothing else was available. Have you ever tried to read a cereal box written in Japanese? It was not a pretty picture. She began writing her own books just to have something to read. Since the romance genre was what she loved to read, that is what she decided to write.

Review (5 star):
SECOND CHANCES

by Kristie Leigh Maguire
Available in Kindle version now from KLM Books
Coming soon in paper back version from Star Publish

Wyoming rancher's daughter Jane Porter has an "understanding" with neighbor Mike Farley. They've had that understanding all their lives, it seems - or at least since they got old enough to realize how boys are different from girls. So why is Jane's widowed father telling her that everyone in their geographically spread out yet closely knit community is talking about Mike's upcoming marriage to a stranger? To red-headed and beautiful Samantha Jo Smith, who met Mike in a bar and who said "yes" so fast that Mike doesn't remember proposing to her?

That's the setup for this delightful novel. It has just enough spice to please author Maguire's established fans, and it's sweet enough to attract a whole new following for her. I read it through in an evening, and felt as if I had spent that evening with "salt of the earth" folk. No wonder Maguire dedicates this book to her parents! I am sure they would both be proud to read it.
