4 1/2 "lucky" stars

I can definitely see why Ren chose to move to Port Snow!! It sounds like a picture postcard and that's before the description of Griffin and his look-a-like brothers - - which apparently only continue to add to the scenery! I have read several of Meghan Quinn's other books in the past and was excited to see she had a new one coming out. Let me say, she definitely did not disappoint with That Second Chance. This was a strong start to a new series. Since some of the books I have read by Ms. Quinn are her Dating By Numbers series, I enjoyed the tie-in to Rylee and Beck (from Two Wedding Crashers) who reside in Port Snow. It's nice to get an update on their life now. I really like it when authors can blend previous characters back into subsequent books.

Ren and Griffin meet when she literally "crashes" into town while trying to avoid a moose in the road. Ren has moved completely across the country from California to get a fresh start and be out from under her parents' over-protective scrutiny. Even though she thinks she and Griff have an attraction, she is often confused by how he keeps his distance and only treats her as a friend. Then she finds out about "the curse." Eventually, Griffin can't fight his feelings for Ren...of course, that's when things really get good. Also, I have to say that Griff's siblings and their constant matchmaking is pretty fun as well! This was such an easy and enjoyable read. I look forward to continuing the series.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

An engaging and entertaining book that will keep you hooked till the last page.
I loved the well written characters and the plot.
The setting was lovely it made me crave to be there.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to publisher and Netgalley, all opinions are mine.

This was a new to me author, but I am looking forward to reading more from Meghan Quinn. I love a romance that also incorporates a big family and a small town. This was a great love story and was fun to read.

That Second Chance is another fun, heartwarming and touching story penned by the talented Meghan Quinn. I love small towns – the gossips, the close-knitted neighborhood, the loyal community. We had a glimpse of Port Snow and the famous Knightly brother curse in Two Wedding Crashers. I was so delighted to go back to Port Snow and learn their stories.

Griffin, the eldest of the Knightly brothers, was the total package. He was confident, caring and handsome. However, he was hiding behind a tragic past which he saw as part of the Knightly brother curse. He wasn’t truly living but just going through the motions until the buoyant and quirky Ren crashed into town. I admired Ren’s resilience, strength and bravery. With her unfortunate accident in the past, she was still going strong to start anew and live her life to the fullest.

Griffin and Ren’s mutual attraction was instantaneous, but their romance was slowly built. I loved how they started out as friends. Their conversations and interaction could be funny at some times but also heartfelt at other times. Although the plot was a little predictable at the end, I truly enjoyed the ride with them.

One of my favorite part of this book was the Knightly family. I loved the teasing between the siblings and their genuine love for one another. Another aspect that I love about this book was the close-knitted community of Port Snow with its traditions and local’s secrets. Even thought everyone was in each other’s business, it showed that they care.

I’m in love with this new series and cannot wait to read the stories about the other Knightly brothers.

I received an advance reviewer copy of the book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

And another amazing book by Meghan Quinn. Griffin and Ren are such a great story. Ren is new in town and is rescued by Griffin after a run-in with a moose. Griffin is from Port Snow, helping in his family business, is a fireman and helps around the town. They have a connection right from the start but Griffin keeps Ren at arms length because of history with a curse his thinks happened in New Orleans when he was with his brothers from 2 years before.

This book gives you the small town feel, has great family and friend connections. I love how Meghan writes a story. You cannot help but want more. This book gives all the feels- I laughed alot, cried a bit and just felt whole . I loved watching Griffin grow with the pain of lose and acceptance of his feelings and the strength of Ren! I cannot wait for more in this series!

When Ren, who had a life changing event, decides to move across country to Port Snow, Maine to start new. In her way into town she comes across a suicidal moose and requires rescuing from the town volunteer firefighter Griffin Knightly.

This is everything I want in a Meghan Quinn book. I loved everything about Ren and Griffin's story. I love how they come together, I love the town, I love their backstories. I also loved seeing Rylee and Beck again. I absolutely cannot wait for the other stories from Port Snow. Give me all the Knightly Brothers and more please!

We got a little snippet of the Knightly brothers in Two Wedding Crashers so I was so glad they get their own series. Griffin is absolutely yummy. He is still dealing with a huge loss and doesn't want any entanglements. Ren crashes into town, literally, and his life is never the same. The scene of him helping her was so vivid and funny. Griffin fought his attraction so hard....fortunately for Ren it was a losing battle! Great start to the Knightly Brothers series!

This was such a feel good romance. I had a smile on my face through most of the story, but there were some laugh out loud spots and moments of sadness. Not super angsty, kind of a slow burn, an all around enjoyable read with likeable characters and the start to what I can tell will be a great series.

Ren seems kind of accident prone, which is a bad combo matched with Griffin, the guy who thinks he's cursed in love. These two are insanely cute, together and apart, and he's basically a one man welcoming committee for different aspects of the small town. I love their meddling families- these two are just perfect for each other. This here is just good romance, plain and simple.

I'm SO, SO SO sorry this book didn't work for me...
I usually love Meghan Quinn's RomCom and series, but this story felt too rushed, even too cheesy sometimes...
I needed something more angsty, more HOT and more consistant....

4.5 Moose Stars. I really enjoyed this story. Starts off with a bang and keeps you hooked until the end. Laugh out loud and swoon worthy moments as well as a fantastic supporting cast. Loved the chemistry and banter between Griffin and Ren. Definitely a fun and light read and so worth it.

While the brother live it up on a trip to New Orleans, they run the wrong way across a fortune teller and find themselves the object of a love curse. While it seems farfetched, the brothers start to believe it's truth when they return home and face certain problems.

Certain his love life is ruined, Griffin dredges ahead in his daily life until a chance encounter with Ren Winters. They have an obvious attraction but Griffin feels doomed. While they court the issue of a romance, this small town and the family make for a fun and interesting read.

I loved this book! The plot is fun, the characters quirky, and the romance hot. Cursed by an angry fortune teller in New Orleans, Griffin and his brothers become very unlucky in love. Although they're great looking and successful, no one in their small town of Port Snow will date them. It's not worth dealing with the curse. One day Griffin meets Ren on her way into town and saves her from a suicidal moose. She has had bad luck in the past and is looking for a fresh start. Together she and Griffin have to figure out how to deal with the curse and have a real relationship. I laughed out loud several times. Highly recommended.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book. I've read a few of Meghan Quinn's books before and this one is my favourite so far. It was set in a picturesque place and featured many small town characters that I hope are in the following novels to come. The relationship progressed nicely with the plot and contained lots of funny dialogue; between the characters and the brothers.
There were a few heartfelt moments which made this book quite special and I hope that in the last book at least, they finally find the woman who cursed them.

I usually enjoy Meghan Quinn's books, and this book was no exception. I thought the premise of the story was original and intriguing. I enjoyed the setting of the story, which was in a small town in Maine, and all that comes with small town living.

I enjoyed Ren and Griffin as characters and found the interactions between Griffin and his siblings entertaining. I am excited to see if there are future books about the other brothers and would love to read those as well.

I am madly in love with this book. The characters, the story, the setting, Everything is pure perfection. Meghan Quinn never fails to deliver a book that has laughs, and feels. This book made me want to crawl inside and live in it. The by play of the characters, the brothers and sister of Griffin are all crazy, and fun loving. You get a surprise visit from another character of Megha's from another series, but I am not telling you who.
Read the book if you want to know, but I will say you won't be disappointed. As always this story is so well thought out, well put together, it just flows from one scene to another with an ease I wish all writers had. This story is told in dual pov, which makes it really a fun, lovely read.

That Second Chance is a great romance with some brilliant scenes, sparkling dialogue and a cast of well rounded characters.
Griffin Knight and his three brothers are in New Orleans where they unwittingly upset a palm reader, who then curses them saying ‘any love they find will be broken’. Shortly after this Griffins wife dies suddenly, so he’s convinced it because of the curse, and there after refuses to contemplate any relationship.
Two years pass and when on duty as a volunteer fireman he rescues Ren from a car accident, she has just arrived in the New England town to start a job as mathematics teacher.
Both become good friends and there is an obvious attraction between them but Ren is becoming increasingly frustrated as Griffin won’t act on it. So we have the story develop, and it does so wonderfully. Griffins brothers are brilliant, so funny, except for Rogan the quiet moody one who hopefully will be the next to have his story told.
My thanks to net galley and publisher Montlake for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Fun, heartwarming and full of emotion, That Second Chance is one of Meghan Quinn’s best books! From the prologue on, the story had me hooked! Griffin and Ren’s story was exciting, full of hope and so much more, I was swooning the entire time I read it! From the main characters to the entire Knightly family, from Ren and her parents, to the town of Port Snow itself, this story packed a punch! The Knightly Brothers are here people...be ready to be swept away by every last one of them!

What a great start to a new series! The Knightly brothers went to New Orleans to celebrate youngest brother Brig’s 21st Birthday. During their drunken revelry, they encounter a fortune teller who ends up cursing their love life. None of them took it seriously until they were back five days and an event occurs that cements their reputation in the town of Port Snow, Maine as cursed and un-datable. Two years have passed and oldest brother Griffin saves new teacher in town, Ren Winters, from an encounter from a suicidal moose. Of course, the attraction is instant. Will they be able to defy the curse? I loved the Knightly family! Griffin and Ren were a great couple, and watching their relationship grow was fun. I cannot wait to see the rest of the brothers break the curse as well! I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

When I had the chance to read this book by Meghan Quinn I jumped on it instantly. Having yet to read a book by her that I didn’t like, I had high hopes for this one. However, while I liked this book, I can say with certainty that it isn’t one of my favorites she’s written.
I’m not sure what it was, but it felt like this book was missing something. Perhaps it’s because I’ve grown accustomed to Meghan Quinn’s witty and humorous writing style but I felt sad when this book lacked that humor, especially because the story had the potential for it. However, instead, I found that it didn’t really fit the category of being a humorous book nor did it seem to be a sad book, so I found myself struggling to enjoy it like I wanted to.
That Second Chance tells the story of Ren Winters and Griffin Knightly. After a drunken night in New Orleans Griffin and the rest of the knightly brothers have come to believe that they are cursed and doomed to never have happy or successful relationships. When Ren moves to their small town of Port Snow, Maine Griffin begins to fall for her. However, he can’t bring himself to have a relationship with her for fear of losing her to the curse.
As I was reading this I was excited to see some characters from Meghan Quinn’s other books such as Beck and Rylee because I love them which is what I wanted to feel with Griffin and Ren.
While I enjoyed the two of them, part of me found their story a bit dull. I love a slow burn romance, but I never found myself feeling invested in their relationship.
However, I did fall in love with the rest of the Knightly brothers while reading this, so I’m excited to learn their stories.

That Second Chance is an incredibly sweet and charming story that I was absolutely addicted to! I got swept up in Ren & Griffin's romance and couldn't stop reading. Griffin was quite the hero - such a dedicated, hardworking, man who believed he was unlucky in love because of a curse. But when Ren comes to town, he can't seem to take his eyes of the new girl in town. She finds herself drawn to him too, but only time will tell if she will break down the walls that Griffin has around his heart.

I know that we got a brief glance of Port Snow back in Two Wedding Crashers, but getting to spend an extended period of time there was so much fun! I completely fell in love with the town and the Knighly Brothers - all of them (and the sister too)!! Such a hilarious and crazy family, always meddling in the others lives.....but all of it done from a place of love.

If you like small-town romances, you are absolutely going to love this one.
