Another Chance With Love by Blake Allwood

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Author:
After reading two more books of this author I believe I can honestly say that he is going on my future must read list. I’ve just finished the third book in a row (only one book interruption) by this author, and they are all five stars reads.

Story:
If you liked the first story in this series, you are so going to love this one. It’s like a continuation of the story but with other main characters as well as a completely different story that will surprise you on so many levels. I completely fell in love with it from the first moment. I’m not going to say I’m not a fan of sequels, because that would be a lie, but I do believe that the author has to be extremely carefull not just to copy the storyline from the first book on the the following in the series. Blake Allwood mastered creation this book to perfection.

Main characters:
While we do revisit a few characters from the first book, one of them (or maybe two) ends up taking a leading role in this book. You may resent Peters mom in the first book, but you’ll get to know her from a whole different prespective and I fell a little bit in love with her, even if I found her to be a completely bitch in the first book and just wanted to strangle her. There really isn’t much to say about the others only that they are amazing. Also while you may resent Peter (Martin’s ex) I believe you’ll fall in love with him as well.

Story:
Let there be no doubt that Blake Allwood has a way with words and the ability to create beautiful stories that will hold you captured. This one is no exception, it has every thing I love. Fun, love a bit of sex (not too much), hold your breath moments and happiness. What more can you wish for in a book, I really don’t know. I really hope and prey that there will be a third book, I’ll keep waiting for it.

Love By Chance by Blake Allwood

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Author
Blake Allwood is starting to be one of my favorite authors. I’ve read a few books before all of them five stars reads.

Story
This was a slow read for me, I’m normally a fast reader, but for some reason I had, I don’t know, linger at every word. That’s not a bad thing if you’re starting to think that, no. The story is very well written and I loved every bit of it, the flow is great and I love that you do not get the answers to all your questions until the end. Throughout the story you keep wondering what will happen between the two main characters, and let me just tell you, you do get your HEA.

Main characters
I can’t really figure out if there are two or maybe three mc’s. Mainly because Peter the ex keeps popping up throughout the story. But mainly it’s the romance between Martin and Elian. I find Martin sometimes too hard on Elian and that he’s holding a bit too much on to the past. He faults Elian for something that’s really not fair and makes too many rules in my opinion.
But it works for the story, though it’s a bit annoying.
Elian, if we all met an Elian I have no doubt that we would fall in love with him. He is so sweet and hot (according to Martin). At times I ask my self if a guy, in love or not, would take that many boundaries set up. But then again it works for the story.

Despite my reservations above I really did love the story and it a five star rating from me.
