I struggled to get into the book at first. I kept putting it down, then picking it back up, reading a chapter or two, then walking away again. I'm not usually like that. I can't tell you why-maybe I was having a hard time really connecting with the characters or maybe the plot wasn't moving quick enough for me? But, once I got into the book, I did like it. Dual POV is always a winner for me. I liked Roman as a character-he is such a stand up guy! This is a great contemporary romance!

I was gifted a copy of “Little Moments” by the author in exchange for an honest review. This is no way changes my opinion of the book.

This is book 2 in the Second Chances series. I have not ready book 1, however, you do not need to have read the first book to enjoy “Little Moments”.

I love a good romance book, and “Little Moments” did not disappoint. You begin with Roman as a child, losing his mother in an apartment fire. As if that wasn’t devastating enough, he had already lost his father to cancer prior to the fire. He goes on to live with his aunt and uncle, who raise him and love him unconditionally; shaping him to be the man he is today. Roman’s aunt and uncle own a bakery that he helps out at after school each day, and that is when he first meets Melanie.

Melanie loves that little bakery, they make the best eclairs, and she is addicted. It does not hurt that there is a nice looking boy that works there as well. However, she is already in a relationship with Duke, so nothing progresses, yet.

Move ahead ten years. Roman is now a firefighter, and his aunt and uncle still own the bakery. Melanie is caring for her God-daughter, and decides to take a trip to that bakery to get her some cookies. As she is leaving the bakery, she literally runs into a sexy man in a FDNY t-shirt. She gets a little flustered and rushes off. But he would know those eyes anywhere.

Melanie is an ER nurse, and unfortunate circumstances put Roman within her reach. He is injured during a call, and becomes her patient. Is this fate pushing them together? Can they finally explore what they could not years ago?

Definitely a sweet, emotional 5-star review.

I love the Second Chances series, and Little Temptations does not disappoint. Although you could read this just fine without reading the prior books in the series, you won't have all the background on a few of the characters. Which was a pleasant surprise when a few of them appeared in Little Temptations.

This is Taylor's story, and boy does he have one! Things haven't always been easy for him, but he finds strength and comfort in MMA; something that he has discovered he is rather good at. He isn't looking for love, he doesn't want to be bothered with all that drama. But sometimes, love finds you, in the strangest ways, with someone you would never think you're compatible with.

Without giving away any spoilers, I will say I thoroughly enjoyed Little Temptations, and hope to read more about Harley, Taylor, Rob, Melanie, Duke, and the rest of the crew in future books.… (mer)
