A quaint seaside town, four swoony heart brothers and one life altering vacation ....BAM ...new addicting reading from Meghan!

Flirty fun, witty and it begins with a suicidal moose....

I love this! Every single second and I’m completely vested in the lives of these brothers and need each one of their stories but lets not get ahead of ourselves..this is Griffin and Ren’s tale.

You will want to visit Port Snow and claim one of these cursed brothers for yourself. I can’t wait to discover which brother I want to keep for myself.

inspiring and abound with rebuilding. Moving on and healing with some laughs sprinkled in and a ton of heart this needs to be your next binge read!

Right from the start, I was hooked!

Okay, so there was the whole awkward trip to New Orleans for his brother's birthday, and the making enemies not friends with the palm reader, and picking up a BROKEN LOVE curse as a souvenir...but still, HOOKED! Seriously, the brothers have HEARTS OF GOLD, and the fact that they are easy on the eyes doesn't hurt either. They have their hands in all the town business and businesses, but in a good way...they actually want to help make it a better place, improve upon the wonderfulness that already exists, and make it a place that everyone wants to call home. Seeing how the series will deal with the Knightly clan, the introductions to everyone was necessary, and really there are worse things than a town full of kind hearts and good looking guys! *smirk* Moving on....

Honestly, I really loved the characters, through and through! Griff was such a good guy, and seeing him do everything and anything to stay busy was heartwarming and breaking all at the same time, but if he was gonna keep his heart/feelings completely on lockdown, I couldn't fathom the potential for a future with Ren in any fashion. Don't worry folks, lockdown is not indefinite, but it does take some time to wear down! Speaking of Ren, she wears here heart on her sleeve. She's strong, heck stronger than most think, but she wants to belong, to feel needed, to spread her proverbial wings and fly (chalk that up to a helicopter mom that means well) and unrequited love the levels of which she is experiencing (whether she'll readily admit it or not) are not exactly on this side of the welcoming committee. Good think she's not a quitter...good thing for BOTH of them...

Really and truly, I enjoyed this book from cover to cover. True, it had its steamy parts, and a bit of language scattered here and there (hence I'm saying ADULTS ONLY), but it was SO GOOD! I stand by my initial "claim" of Griffin for myself....boneheaded tendencies and all! Seriously the Knightly brothers are quite the package deal and despite Griff's "issues", he's still a great guy with a heart of gold, totally deserving of the fabulousness that is Ren! To summarize, I ♡ this book!

So many things I liked about this story.

The premise is kind of different.
A love curse after a night of drinking.....

Love the small town feel of this story. While, that trope is not something I normally gravitate to, it had me in complete stitches.... the rumor mill, the way the story kept changing through the grapevine... it is hilarious.

I loved the brothers' relationship with each other. And how distinct each of their personalities are.

It was also so awesome to see the return of some other MQ characters.

And Griffin and Ren were awesome together. Loved Ren and her zest for life and adventure... enjoyed how well-round that her character is and her ability to just speak her mind.
Griffin takes care of everyone and everything at the expense of his own happiness.

Can't wait for more!!! <3

It’s no secret that I love Meghan’s work and her writing style. She can delivery a great drama and make you read out loud with her rom-coms. For me this book is the middle ground between the two genres. A delicious small town romance, filled with family and adventure. Griffin is the perfect closed of hero and Ren is a ray of sunshine in his life. With great chemistry and awesome characters, it’s the kind of feel good romance to read on a lazy afternoon. I greatly recommend it!

That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn is the first book in her Getting Lucky Series. Every book is about another couple and can be read as a standalone.
Griffin Knightly is the oldest of 4 brothers and believes they were cursed. Means never a relationship for the Knightly brothers, never love or a family of their own. He works in the family business, volunteers as firefighter, all in all he's a good guy.
Ren Winters is a young woman, new in town, highschool teacher and needs rescuing. Griffin is first respondser and their chemistry is sky high. But Griffin stubbornly refuses so see what's before his nose and in that nearly costs him his love and HEA.
That Second Chance is a sweet small town romance with a determined heroine, a hero who fights tooth and nail his attraction to her and a great storyline. 4,5 Stars.

My Review (ARC provided)
Five stars!

Once again Meghan gets a five-star review!! I have been wondering, waiting and hoping we get the Knightly brothers. We get a glimpse of them in Two Wedding Crashers and ever since I finished that book I've wanted to know the story behind these small town brothers. Well, we get our first story about the oldest brother Griffin. It is one hell of a story that pulls at your heartstrings and has you rooting for him to come out of his shell and live.

Ren comes into town like a freight train and knocks Griffin off his feet, but he is too stubborn and too broken to admit it. They form this bond and friendship that soon as them both guessing what the others feeling s are.

This is a slow burn that has you on the edge of your seat wishing that the two would finally make that final move to solidify their relationship.

I absolutely loved the way this book played out. I love Meghan's humor, and I love love how she brings out all your emotions. So as I said I give this book another five stars and I will be anxiously awaiting another Knightly brother.

Meghan does it again! That Second Chance is a brilliant small town romance, with a side of quirky. You’ll fall in love with these characters and it will leave you itching for more..

That Second Chance is the first book I have read by this author and it won't be the last. Initially, I thought perhaps the whole "curse" was going to be a bit too over the top for me and while it was certainly quirky, it worked and I enjoyed this story immensely.

This story was filled with great character development, an entertaining plot and lots of emotions ranging from not wanting to get hurt again (or hurt someone) to fun antics from Grif's siblings. Very enjoyable story that I highly recommend. I cannot wait to read more about the Knightly brothers.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Thanks NetGalley!

Meghan Quinn will forever be one of my favorite authors.

So i obviously had high hopes for this book, and needless to say i was NOT let down.
This is a slow-burn, second chance romance.
Meghan has an amazing way to make every character relatable and amazing. That doesn't change with this book either.


Get this book as soon as you can! Seriously!

5/5 Sexy Swoony Stars THAT SECOND CHANCE will be at the top of everyone’s 2019 List of Favorite Romantic Comedies. Meghan Quinn has done it again.

A Curse Can’t Hold Back Love for the Hot and Handsome Griffin Knightly and his Ren.

A love letter to her fans, Quinn sets up a fantastic new series with a slow burn and tender courtship set in the beautiful fictional town of Port Snow. LOVE THIS STORY! This second chance standalone is a must read all of Quinn’s fans and if she’s new to you, this is a brilliant place to start.

A drunken celebratory night between brothers opens to a new universe, in the sleepy Maine town of Port Snow, where every heartache, every secret, and every meal is shared with family and neighbors. I want to know every detail, so much more of every character, and I can’t wait for more books.

Sexy firefighter, volunteer, and heartbroken Griffin meets the pretty damn fearless Ren, a skittish school teacher who’s a new comer to town. Their meeting is such a surprise, and it’s told with such great humor and hell yes ROMANCE. GAH! I couldn’t put this book down. I LOVED IT! And the sexy times, let’s not forget about those. This is a Quinn romance after all.

A small note about the culinary subplot. I cannot get enough of the Knightly fudge and those brothers. Port Snow is a special place, where the auto body shop hots wine and cheese mixers. :) And the Knightly Brothers' complete devotion to their small Maine town. I will definitely reread this charming story.

If you want a loving sweet, adult contemporary romance with real people sorting through life’s complexities and falling for each other in the process, paired with an idyllic setting, THAT SECOND CHANCE IS a delicious, fun family story.

4 1/2 Cursed Stars!

One drunken night, Griffin and his brothers have a love curse put on them, but they just laugh it off ... that is until Griffin's young wife dies of a heart attack. Two years later, all four of the Knightly brothers have had no luck in love. But then Ren literally crashes into Griffin's life and he starts feeling things that he hasn't felt since his wife died. Ren wants a new start ... away from her helicopter parents. While driving into her new town, Port Snow, a moose crosses her path and she ends up missing the moose, but wrecking her car. And she drools over the hunky fireman that saves her ... Griffin. He ends up becoming her life line.

This book just made me smile ... all the way through it! There are also a lot of laugh out loud moments and some swoon worthy romance. I just loved Ren ... she was trying to be independent but has the worst luck. And Griffin and his brothers ... WOW who wouldn`t fall in love with them. I come from a small town and it's soooo true that everyone knows everyone else's business and Ms. Quinn sure portrayed that perfectly! I can't wait for the next book ... this is gonna be a great series!

3.5 stars

This was a cute read. I did enjoy the story and found the characters likable. Griffin’s and Ren’s romance was sweet. I liked how they gravitated towards each other and their time spent together was good. The small town atmosphere and the bond of the Knightly family was pleasant. I felt like I was in Maine with them and experiencing it first hand. I really loved Griffin’s siblings they were fun and great and I am interested in the rest of the brothers and their stories. Overall, a good read that I surprisedly enjoyed.

As with every other Meghan Quinn book, I was immediately sucked in and couldn't stop reading. I mean, it definitely helped that the first scene took place in one of my favorite places to visit, New Orleans, and that was such a great start to the story! Now it took me a bit to remember that we'd met these Knightly brothers back in the second book I read by Meghan Quinn, Two Wedding Crashers, with my favorite couple from that series, Rylee and Beck. But I love that Quinn is taking us back to meet some of the other characters we enjoyed from another one of her series. I always love when authors do that. And to know that this is going to be a series now makes me extremely happy, because I really am excited to see what happens to all of the Knightly brothers, because really, it's impossible to not fall in love with all of them. So much so, that I'd probably have been okay at first if our heroine, Ren, fell for one of the other brothers if Griffin hadn't ever come around and given this a chance. Another thing I love is the setting, I want to live in a little town like Port Snow. As a former teacher, and current school librarian, I love the idea of a town actually being the village to help raise the children, help keep them in line and good citizens.

We had all of what you'd expect from Meghan Quinn book, the steam, wit, and the feelings. There was even one line early into the story that made me almost spit my food out when I read it as I laughed! It was a page-turner, I hated when my body was telling me I had to go to sleep, not letting me keep my eyes open when all I wanted to do was finish this last night. But when the dogs woke me up at their usual early morning time to go out and get their breakfast, as soon as I was back in bed, I picked this back up and finished it.

Oh yeah, prepare to crave so many sweet things as you read this. You see the Knightly family runs a shop that sells yummy confections like fudge. And lots of different flavors of fudge. And then there are all the different restaurants and even a food truck in this Northeastern area of the US, I might need some crab cakes soon. And how could I forget the Moose? What a perfect "meet-cute" in all its craziness.

grew up in one and although I live in a bigger city now, it still has a small town feel that I still love. Meghan Quinn is a one-click author for me- her brand of humor is spot-on and I adore her unique plots quirky characters. Ren and Griffin had such great chemistry and I liked that they built a friendship before a relationship started. Ren was spunky and sweet and Griffin had me swooning as all Quinn heroes do. I come from a super small family myself (and I'm an only child) so it's always so fun to read about big, wacky, meddling families like the Knightlys. I am super excited about these Knightly brothers- I will be anxiously awaiting books for Rogan, Reid and Brig. It was also super fun to see characters we met in the Dating By Numbers series!

4.5 stars

That Second Chance by Meghan Quinn drew me in from the first page and held my interest until the last page.

The writing is beautifully done, the plot well paced and the storyline brought out all the feels.
I loved watching Griffin and Ren come together and get their second chance at love. They had a strong connection and I found them to be perfect for each other.

Overall, That Second Chance is a beautiful start to the Getting Lucky Series and I highly recommend it.

*4 Stars*

ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.

If you've read Meghan's other books, you will remember the mention of the Knightly Brothers and the intrigue that the little mention of their story held. The fact that Meghan decided to write about the brothers was awesome, and I knew I would definitely be reading their stories.

Griffin's book was a great start to this series, and I love love loved he and Ren, and also the whole Knightly family and town of Port Snow.

Ren was a very likeable character from the moment we met her, and her interesting meeting with Griffin and his actions was very amusing and also very cute. From then on, as she gets to know the town, the Knightly brothers, and of course Griffin, she's very easy to love and to want happiness for as a character.

Griffin might be a bit more closed off, but he also is very easy to love and to want a happy ending for. Particularly when you find out some of the more closed off details of his past. His dedication to his family and the town are also wonderful, and he is an all around good guy. If only there were more guys in the world like Griffin Knightly. *sigh*.

I very much enjoyed this story, getting to know these characters and their town, and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, and then the rest after that. Another great read from Meghan that I recommend.

OMG What a great start to a new series!
Meet Griffin, one of the Knightly brothers, one hotter than the other! Griffin is a volunteer firefighter as well as helps run his parents gift story in Port Snow Maine. When called in for a car accident he meets new comer Ren, who seems to have car disasters swarmed around her! The Knightly brothers think they were cursed 2 years ago by a palm reader in New Orleans, can Ren be safe from his curse? Or will he believe the curse will take her away from him.
Wow, I just love this first book in the new series! 5 solid stars for this one, grab it, enjoy the story!

5 Moose Me Stars!!!

Oh My Stars!!! This book is LIFE!! I'm constantly amazed at how Ms. Quinn comes up with her stories and this book for me pretty much tops them all! I laughed sometimes until I cried! Ren and Griff were definitely not looking for love and their meeting when Griff is called out as a volunteer fireman on Ren's first day in town affects them both in different ways and watching them fall and fall hard was so much fun!!

Ms. Quinn definitely knows how to write a book that engages me as a reader thanks to her ability to write a story that's so descriptive I actually thought I was in Port Snow, Maine! The Knightly Brothers are a somewhat rowdy bunch but one thing is for sure, they have each other's backs no matter what the situation. There's a true quirkiness to this small town romance and I'm so excited to get to come back again for the rest of the Knightly Brothers stories!

Griffin and his brothers going out to celebrate one of their birthdays. They are having the time of their life until they break a fortune tellers table and she claims they’ll suffer. When Griffin experiences a horrible loss, he closes himself off from love. All his brothers do the same but then Ren moves yo town for a new teacher job. Can he keep his wall up? Will Ren be able to get him to love again?

***4 "Moose me!!!" stars***

"All I’m asking for is one moment, this one instance, when I can forget about the past, forget about the curse, and live the life I wish I could have."

If this wasn't a very pleasant surprise!!!!
It wasn't the first time that I've read a book by Meghan Quinn, and i really, really enjoyed it as much as the others!!!
This was a very promising start to a lovely series and I can not wait for the rest of the Knightley brothers's stories!!!! I'm so excited!!!
This book had a little from everything inside... Romance, family, tough moments, funny moments, sexy moments... It was awesome!!!

"The urge is strong, The consequences even stronger. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place."

Everything started a couple of years ago, when the Knightley brothers (four in the number!!!) went a trip in New Orleans and in an awkard drunken moment, they were cursed...
They were cursed with broken love...
A curse that they didn't take very seriously...
But for Griffin that curse became very real, very soon....

"From this day on, your love will be broken. It isn't until your minds have matured that the weight of this curse will forever be cured."

At the present, Griffin Knightley is a hermit who is filling his days with lots of work... He is a volunteer fireman, he is working in his parents's gift shop and his limited free time, he is filling it with helping wherever he is needed...
Love has no place anymore in his life, and he is determined his love life to stay as it is... Non existent!!!!
But then a car accident is happening with the new algebra teacher and his world steadily and slowly is turning upside down...

"I keep busy; it's what helps me not dwell on the past. Always doing something, always moving, always pushing forward. If I don't, then the past eats me alive; my regrets consume me."

Ren, after a bad accident that almost cost her life, is determined to start her life over, away from the overbearing shelter of her parents...
The first day that she is coming to her new resident, in Port Snow, a suicidal moose is changing her life for once again...
The handsome man that rescued her will become a big part of her world and it will be impossible to stay away from him...

"I think it's time you put your past behind you and start living in the present, because if you don't, you very well might miss out on something incredibly special."

Well, from the day of the accident, a kind of frendship is forming between Ren and Griffin... But from both sides, there are deeper feelings involved, feelings that can not be acted upon since a terrible curse is hanging above Griffin's head...
So will they act upon these feelings after all???
Will Griffin defy that said curse and chance a second chance on love???

"She's playful.
She's fun.
She's beautiful.
She's everything I would look for in a woman...
And everything I should stay away from..."

"You got to me, Ren. You got past my defenses, and I couldn't get you out of my head, no matter how hard I tried."

Well, Griffin and Ren were very cute together and on their own... I liked them sooo much!!!
Griffin had lots of baggage upon his shoulders... He had lost the love of his life and he thought that this chapter had closed for him... But then a woman came into his life and his heart starts beating again... But he was too scared to act upon it because of the curse... A curse that he didn't believe in the beginning, but which life proved right very soon...
Ren from the other hand was determined to live her life in the fullest... She was an easygoing and very cute woman full of kindness and humor...
She and Griffin were fitting so good together in every aspect...
Unfortunately, Griffin's fear was standing between them...

"It might have been easier to never have known Griffin the way I do now; each time he pushes me away, my heart splinters."

"Everything seems more real, more alive, just like the feeling in my heart, pounding, reminding me that no matter how often I deny it, the woman in my arms has a profound effect on me. Like I’ve come back to life after a long stint in purgatory."

Well, except those two, there were many people n here that made my day...
First of all, the Knightley brothers and sister were sooo hillarious and sweet... Their antics were so laughable and i can not wait to learn more about these guys!!! I love the way that they were sneaking behind Griffin's back to bring love in his life... After all, they were meddlers.... All of them... Plus the parents!!!!
I also laughed very much with all the town and their gossips... Okay, it felt a little bit too much the way that they were gossiping around and the extensions of gossips were extravagant, but in a way, that's reality with most gossips in small towns!!!! Bahahaha...

"All meddlers, every single one of them."

And as i told you above, i can not wait for the second book "The forever girl" which is about a brother that i liked very much, Rogan, and i was wishing for his story... So, yay me!!!!!
Give me more of the Knightley brothers!!!! Bring it on!!!!

"He can't be around her."
"Is it that bad?"
"Yeah, and it doesn't help that he's still in love with her."
