Can I just say I was so looking forward to reading these amazing stories by some of my favorite authors and a couple of new ones? A Second Chance Love really pulled in me just by the title alone because that is one of my favorite tropes! Prepare to be enchanted.

Mrs. Sartin's Secretary by Wendy La Capra
A widow, Mrs Sartin has a secretary Matthew, who she suddenly noticed when she saw him outside at an event outside of work. But she was ten years older and his employer which seemed to get in the way. Little did she know he felt the same about her but he knew his managing mother would heartily object and want him to marry a younger lady. But hearts cannot be denied as they really get to know each other and find that nothing can stand in their way! Wendy writes wonderful stories that always capture my heart!

To Hell and Back by Annabelle Anders
"January twenty-ninth. Two days ago. Found dead. In his bed. Smothered with is own pillow." Eve contimplated. What a perfect end to a wastrel of a husband after all these years. Eve had been married over twenty years to Jean Luc but they had not lived together for many years. Mr Waverly, her man of business delivered the news. Was it bad to feel relief? This is a perfectly wonderful story of Eve who had truly not felt the affections or comfort of a man in so long and Niles, her man of business who had been in love with her forever. Now she is free and the journey they set out on to go settle the estate, is fraught with so many unexpected happenings! Humor, a tumble (ok not that yet!), an awareness that has just come to life and romance that is sigh worthy! Her dear Mr. Waverly. For a novella, this packed everything in to make this tale amazing. I adore everything this author writes and I can only add this splendid story to the list!

A Lady's Guide to Marriage by Tabetha Waite
A lovely story about a couple married over twenty five years but who have lived apart for over five. The sad part is they love each other but cannot seem to come back together as neither will take the first step. A lot of misunderstandings and unspoken words have kept them seperate. But as they end up together in the country, can they talk and realize what they mean to each other? Filled with humor and hearfelt emotions, Tabetha Waite brings this wonderful story to life, that I could not wait to find out what happend!

Heart of Decadence by Jenna Jaxon
Miss Amelia Burrowes had a terrible first season in London. Her fiance died but the true man she wanted to marry just disappears! Blamed for all that happened she is ruined in the eyes of society and does not return until ten years later. Her mother has arranged a marriage for her to, oh yes, not a man of her choosing, but the hope is she will be received again so her sisters can have a hope of marraige for themselves. But who should appear but the man who disappeared years ago. The sparks are coming off the page because they still have feelings for each other. But can they make it work this time?

A Letter from a Lady by Cynthia Sterling
A wife who was abandoned by her husband years ago, Clarissa lives with her best friend and two children and runs a home for the ailing. Adam is looking for his brother and takes a room at the retreat run by Clarissa. He suspects her husband had something to do with the disappearance of this sibling. Thinking he may be a spy, Clarissa and her friend are not sure why he is there or who he really is at all! A suspenseful story that kept me reading until the end!

A Lady of Courage by Catherine Tinley
Another wonderful second chance at love story that involves Elizabeth who has spent years on her own. She was ruined years ago in a scandalous elopement and then left with a child. Now she returns to the world and goes to London. Hopefully she can find happiness and a love that has ben denied her for so long. Just a beautiful story!

Mrs. Sartin’s Secretary by Wendy LaCapra...
5 Stars.
Amelia and Matthew. What a delightful story. I loved how this story flowed and the words that Wendy LaCapra used. I know that sounds weird, but it was almost lyrical. Amelia and Matthew gave me all the right feels... and I shed happy tears for their Cinderella HEA. Wendy LaCapra is a “new to me” author and will definite be getting more of her books.

To Hell and Back, by Annabelle Anders... 5 Stars
Omg I’m ugly crying!!! I love Niles and Eve so freaken much!! This is my first Annabelle Anders story and will definitely not be my last. Such a complete and emotion filled story in a novella... and she even threw in a little intrigue. Beautifully written!!

A Lady’s Guide to Marriage by Tabetha Waite...
5 stars
Omg Albina and Michael frustrated the *Beep* outta me... but I did love this story. Second chance love between married people is one of my favorite themes. If these two would have just communicated with each other, they wouldn’t have had to spend 5 years apart. But the end made my heart melt and get all weepy. Well played, Tabetha Waite. Well played, indeed.

Heart of Decadence by Jenna Jaxon...
3 Stars
Nathan and Amelia. Ummm... I did enjoy this story. It’s a clean romance, no sex. Such great plot lines, but I felt like we were missing so much of the story in between the chapters.

A Letter From a Lady by Cynthia Sterling...
Read a few chapter, but didn’t finish

Second Chance Love
A Regency Romance Anthology

This review is for To Hell and Back, by Annabelle Anders.

This sassy little short story is part of the Devilish Debutantes series. And I for one was so happy Ms. Anders decided to write yet another story in this series. Mrs. Marigold Evelyn "Eve" Mossant is a devoted mother to Rhododendron, Coleus and Hollyhock. She escaped a dangerous and unhealthy marriage, with her daughters in tow. Now living in London in a modest town-home, she took a chance and placed a bet on her oldest daughter, Rhoda, and won! Afraid her husband would fine out about her new wealth, she hired Mr. Niles Waverly, a financial investor and employee of Thomas Findlay. Thinking her money and she were safe, she was about to make an big financial investment herself. However, she gets word that her estranged husband is dead. What is she to do; but to travel to the estate and settle his affairs. After all, she will have to relinquish the property to his only male heir and nephew, Darius Mossant. Following this last task that connects her to her estranged husband, she will finally be free to live as she pleases. Or will she?

In lies a well told tale of Eve and Nile's journey, as they travel to the estate. Leave it to Ms. Anders to develop a plot that is mesmerizing, interesting and adventurous. This story is a light and easy read that can be read in one lazy afternoon, with a lovely glass of good olde iced tea beside you. The characters are funny and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the ability to return to the cast of characters I have come to love. I do hope Ms. Anders will write Coleus and Hollyhock's stories as well. After all, I have no doubt she can come up with a theme for their respective story lines, much like she did with Eve and Niles story of second chance love. Get your book now friends. I highly recommend this book.

A Lady's Guide to Marriage, by Tabetha Waite

A lovely standalone novella about a middle aged couple whom have lost their way with one another. I quite enjoyed Lord and Lady Beauley's love nuances.

Lord Michael Baine, Viscount Beauley is living apart from his beautiful wife, Lady Albina Baine, Viscountess Beauley. While the Viscountess has been living in the town home in London for the past five years, the Viscount has been living in the country estate, willing his lovely wife to return to him. Thinking she'd be more happy without him, he had suddenly announced he was leaving five years prior. While sadden, hurt and disappointed, the Viscountess begins dealing with the separation from her husband by diving into an interest and passion of hers; writing a column for the local newspaper. Bored, tired and most definitely missing her husband, as their twenty-fifth anniversary approaches, Albina is encouraged by her good friend and author to return to the country estate. Purpose; to assess the relationship between she and her husband. Has the relationship stood the test of time? Does distance really make the heart grow fonder and heal old wounds? Or does out of sight, out of mind play into the ability of this couple to have a second chance at love? I was gifted a copy of this book by the author. I voluntarily leave this review.

This is not the end of my review, as there are more author's stories to read. Ms. Jenna Jaxon's story is next..... :)

Reviewed in India on June 6, 2019
This set has the most exquisite and off beat stories that I have read after a long time! They are so soulful, heart-warming and draw the right strings of your heart with every emotion! I would give almost all of them a 5 star rating - only one would have a 4 - but that may be because it is somehow getting compared with the others! Do not miss this set!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 3, 2019
Each story was very different in characters and events yet retaining a true sense of regency society and it's rules, written and unwritten. It has introduced me to several authors I did not yet know and I look forward to seeking out their other books in the future.
