Product Description

Review

"An engrossing read – wonderful.” Maeve Binchy

"Erin Kaye…gave up a career in finance to write, and that, along with her different background, gives her a breadth that many other popular writers here don't have – and makes her one of the best."
- Ann Dunne, Irish Independent Review

“Fresh, funny, utterly absorbing right from the first page and quite unlike anything else out there, Second Time Round is an absolutely must-read for anyone who'd ever thought that it was too late for love. Erin Kaye writes with wisdom, warmth and a lovely lightness of touch you'll adore. Be warned though; it's definitely a stay-up-till-all-hours- to-finish-it book!” Claudia Carroll

Product Description

A story of family tensions in a small-town rocked by the antics of a cougar.

A heart-warming tale of love in the face of family and friendship, perfect for fans of Cathy Kelly and Maeve Binchy.

Divorcee Jennifer Irwin has it all – a successful interior design business and two loving children. But as her 45th birthday approaches and her children prepare to start their own lives, Jennifer is left feeling lonely in her empty nest.

That’s when she meets Ben Crawford – a man 16 years her junior – as their attraction heightens, Jennifer realises what she’s been missing. But mindful that the small-town Ballyfergus residents would never approve, they conduct their affair in secret.

But a secret is never a secret for long…

As the affair surfaces, Jennifer encounters opposition from friends and family, especially her daughter Lucy. Enraged by her mother’s relationship, Lucy seeks comfort in the arms of charismatic but troubled, Oren. Jennifer knows that Oren is not the man he seems, but can she convince her daughter of that?

And with everything going against them, can Jennifer and Ben’s love survive? Or will she risk losing her daughter to be with the man she loves?

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow your heart 7 July 2012
By C. Colley TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Erin Kaye is a new author to me and I have to say I really enjoyed this story about finding love, second time around.
The story drew me in from the very first page and I found it very easy to feel involved with the characters and care about them.
The plot surrounds Jennifer Irwin and the difficulties that occur within her family when they object to her relationship with Ben Crawford, who is sixteen years younger than Jennifer.
Ben Crawford is the heir to the Crawford Empire, but looks set to lose his inheritance if he defies his parents and continues to see Jennifer.
So with everyone against them, can Jennifer and Ben ever be a couple?
This is not just a romantic story, it's about families learning to be honest with each other and moving forward. It's also about following your heart. The story is engaging and written in an easy read style.
Recommended to anyone that enjoys a story about love, families and friendship.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit dull.. 12 Nov 2012

This book was dull, unbelievable and boring. It passed the time time though. I would not liken the author to Marian Keyes.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book at a great price xXx 1 Aug 2012
By reabeauty TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Erin Kaye is an author I had not come across before, I loved the sound of the synopsis as it is a situation I am sure alot of people find themselves in when they have had a previous relationship which has ended and having the uncertainty of how the children will feel about a new relationship looming.

Jennifer who is our lead character is a loveable character and it is clear although her children are now grown up they are still the centre of her world and her emotions shown well in this book where she is torn between following her head or her heart as she really cannot bear the thought of disappointing her children but she has clearly fallen for Ben who although is younger in age comes across as a very mature character but |I think this is because of the characters background story.

This book flowed at a perfect pace and had me hooked from the first chapter the only time I was a little hesitant was when the religious aspect was brought into the storyline as I know we all have our own beliefs but I personally do not to read about religion but I needn't have worried as this didn't distract me from the storyline and it also had its own little twist!

The book was slightly predictable but it was great to see the journey the author created to get us to the predictable outcome. I will look for future books by this author as this was a great book and at a fantastic price on Kindle at the moment.

Quite enjoyed it,but found there were too many descriptions of tears flowing and eyes brimming so eventually felt the story was too slow.
