Katrina Jacobs knows something is missing from her life—even though most would say she has it all. But when she pays a visit to her sister in the sleepy rural town of Willows, she discovers what’s been missing.

Richard Jensen has the looks, the money and the career—now all he needs is the perfect wife. He’s convinced Katrina’s the one; he just needs to make it happen.

Terry Winters doesn’t mind the whispers going on in town—after all, he moved to Willows for his horses, and they don’t listen to rumours.

As Katrina grows fond of Willows, she finds herself caught in a battle between substance and form, learning that having it all isn’t the same as getting it right.

But is it just the town she’s enamoured with?

A Chance to Get it Right is the second instalment in the Copperhead Creek Australian Romance series, and while this is a stand-alone story with respect to the main characters, some of the characters from the first book, A Chance to Come True, make appearances as life continues in the rural town of Willows.

Author Biography:

indie author S M Spencer grew up reading the romantic suspense works of incredible authors such as Daphne du Maurier and Mary Stewart. Their books stirred in her a passion that would last a lifetime—to write stories that would stay with readers long after they’d finished the books.

Although S M Spencer grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area she now lives in Australia and writes clean romance, mystery and fantasy books from the home that she shares with her husband, horses, cats and dogs—oh, and the mob of kangaroos that sometimes shares the paddock with the horses.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

At the age of five S M Spencer's life changed when she was plonked onto a black & white pony for a photograph. From that day on all she wanted was a horse. She spent the next eleven years writing stories about the horses she pretended to ride through the rolling hills of coastal California until she got a job and bought her first horse at the age of sixteen.

In the 1980s her life changed again when her employer offered her a role in Australia. This was the beginning of an adventure of which she has never tired.

Still living in Australia she now writes from the semi-rural home she shares with her husband, horses, cats and dogs--not to mention the kangaroos that share the paddocks with the horses from time to time.

Her current series is Romancing the Californian Cowboys, set in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Three sisters, born in California but raised in Australia, inherit property in an old mining town. Each book tells one of the sister’s stories.

She also has the Copperhead Creek Australian Romance series, a six-book series which is contemporary romance with just a touch of spice, set in a small rural town within the Golden Triangle outside Melbourne.

Her earliest series is a clean YA paranormal romance trilogy, Absent Shadows, which is set mostly in Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Enjoyable Read

A Chance to Get it Right by S M Spencer is the second book in the Copperhead Creek series and is as enjoyable as the first one. When I realized the second book in the series was available, I just had to read it.

Katrina is in a long term relationship with Richard and is called upon by her sister, Lora, to help with a hair salon business that Lora owns in the town of Willows. While in Willows for a short period of time, Katrina decides that she wants to open her own business (a gym) in the town. This is a big decision for Katrina, as the business is quite a distance from her current home in Melbourne and the stakes are high as to whether the business will be successful. Enter Terry, the handy-man who helps Katrina with the remodeling of the gym space and someone that Katrina is fairly attracted to, but of course she thinks Terry is unavailable for various reasons and keeps their relationship strictly on a platonic level. When Richard realizes that Katrina might move to Willows on permanent basis, he must take action to win (back) her heart. But will it be enough?

The pace of the book was steady and I found myself reading late into the night just to see what would happen next in this sweet Australian romance. (Who needs sleep when you have a good romance book to read?) The story-line was believable, the characters were well-developed and the events seemed true-to-life, which made the story a very enjoyable read.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes sweet romances with a little tension thrown in here and there for good measure.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good read set in Australia
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018

A stand alone read with a HEA. This story is set in Australia so some of the words are hard to figure out the meaning . I even had to look up a little animal to see what they were talking about. However, you learn something about another country so that is good. This story is about a young woman that seems to be a bit lost as to who she really is. She has been seriously dating a wealthy dentist that has their lives all planned out for them. He is everything a perfect mate should be but she has feelings that something is missing. She is somewhat used by her younger sister that seems to get herself in all kinds of messes and then expects her big sister to come and rescue her. And the big sister comes running. It isn't long before you figure out that she is using the sister's needs to keep her from facing her own.

The hero of the story is a young man that seems to be a mystery around town. He is a gorgeous hunk, works and trains horses as well as does carpentry work. He doesn't seem to be interested in any of the local females so the rumors start that he must be gay. He does nothing to dispel the rumors because it works to his advantage. The women quit throwing themselves at him. He has his work, his ranch, his horses and his old dog Blue. He is happy enough with his life.

The heroine comes rushing to the small town where her sister has opened a salon (we would call it a beauty shop). She is in trouble so big sis has come to the rescue. Seeing a vacant building she goes to investigate and winds up leasing the building to open a gym. As she moves to this small town, becomes part of the community, saves her sister's business, she starts to find herself.

One problem. The dentist boyfriend. You get from his thinking that this guy may be good looking and wealthy but he is a total self-centered jerk. Naturally she never sees any of that and even when he starts shooting off his mouth she has a tendency to overlook it all. SPOILER---Up to this point, I liked the heroine. She was way to much of an enabler where her sister was concerned but she looked at it as helping! However, I could overlook a lot of that but when she continues to have sex with the fiancé, knowing that there are problems and it is not working for her, she lost me. EWWW.. Then the hero has a "secret". He NEVER once said anything to further the rumor of the secret. No one ever asked him anything, they just gossiped. But she gets all out of sorts because he "LIED" to her. NO HE DIDN'T. She choose to listen to gossip and passed judgement so it is her bad NOT HIS. I didn't like the turn the story took on that. If she had just asked him, he would have told her but no, she USED the friendship to further her own selfish needs thinking the gossip was true so she was safe. I lost all respect for her and then he starts to apologize when he did nothing wrong. I liked the story up to this point and it is almost over by this time. 83%. But the heroines wimpy personality just ruined it for me. At this point she is still questioning herself as to whether she made the right decision to dump the dentist. This guy was an absolute jerk and she wonders if she did the right thing by not marrying him because he gave her a beautiful diamond ring. REALLY? I almost hated to see the hero get stuck with her. He really deserved better IMHO.

It is a good story and I love the setting. The characters are interesting and most are fun and likable. I just did not care for the personality of the heroine. For me, she was a turn off. But I do recommend the book. I don't think most would have a problem with the same thing I did. it is a good read so therefore I do recommend it.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 4/3/18

Katrina and Richard have been dating for three years and he wants to take it to the next level. Only she doesn't want the same things he does - does she? She needs to go to her sister's to help her out in Willows. Only Richard doesn't want her to go. When Katrina gets to Willows she doesn't expect to find a storefront that would be perfect for a gym, something she would very much like to open! Will Richard be happy for her? When she and Lora her sister go to the pub for dinner she spots Terry and for some reason can't get him out of her mind. Then Richard proposes and things are strained. What happens when Richard shows his true character? What happens when she finds out Terry has not been completely truthful? Whose the gorgeous redhead Terry is caught kissing? Only one way to find out, read this great book from S M Spencer to find out!

I had downloaded this book for a few weeks before I got around to reading it but when i started it I wondered why it had taken me so long. Off the bat, I knew I would like it for the writing, skillful with well-developed characters. And then the pull of a sister story, always a win for me. I'm not going to give any spoilers here, but this is a tale of a young woman who on a whim upends her predicable life, and takes a chance on the unknown. Having done that myself more than once, I was eager to see how it would turn out for this gutsy heroine. Not what I expected. Read it for yourself to see how she handles it. You won't be disappointed. Thumbs up.

Our if the blue she decides to quit her job and open a Gym in the town her sister lives. There she meets Terry and she is immediately attracted to him but she thinks he is gay.

I really loved this book. Katrina is a woman who wants to make a difference. Her boyfriend wants her to become a society wife, willing to run a household full of children. He just doesn't get her. However, I can very much relate to her. When she finally finds the place where she is most comfortable, boyfriend tries to undermine her. Then there is her friend, Terry. What should she do? What is right for her, or what her mother, her boyfriend, and his mother think is right? Loved the story. Well written and great characters. Great book.

Another great read by this talented author. Wonderfully shaped characters who I could identify with. Although I have to say Richard was a thoroughly arrogant, chauvinist and egotistical man! I think getting rid of him was the best thing Katrina could have done!!

I was captivated by the storyline right from start. It had a good flow.
I highly recommend giving this author a go if you haven't read any of her other titles. I am off to pick up book 3 in the series!!
