Abby

"Relax, Cinder-Hollywood. I won't kiss you again."
"Can I have that in writing and notarized?" THE READERS' CAFE Review:
Abby is an awesome addition to the Second Chance series. Abby is a wonderfully written character, whom, despite her upbringing in the glamorous world of Hollywood, is a hard worker with her feet planted firmly on the ground. She's loyal and has a big heart. Jackson is awesome as well. His love for his family and friends will endear him to everyone and leave you swooning. He has a protective streak a mile wide, without being overbearing. I love the main characters in DeSalvo's stories, but it is the secondary characters who keep me coming back for more. That brings me to Tante Izzy. She is, without a doubt, one of the best characters I've read in years, IF NOT EVER. She IS the aunt/grandmother/friend/sister that everyone would love to have. She's funny as hell, but it is her heart that will leave everyone clamoring for more. Her group of besties are just icing on the cake. If you enjoy a simmering romance with some of the best secondary characters you'll ever read, the Second Chance Novels are definitely for you. I cannot wait to return to Cane. Well done, Tina DeSalvo! Very, very, very well done!!!!! She comes from Hollywood Royalty, which makes her fall from grace all the more interesting to the paparazzi and millions of people who have no idea what Abigail McCord is going through. Instead of following in the family's acting footsteps, Abby made her own way as an attorney. She also joined her good friend, Elli, in raising money for a cause near and dear to her heart, but that important effort was destroyed when someone steals their famous donors' money and personal information. And the police believe the thief is her. Now she's run from one LA to another as she hides in Cane, Louisiana trying to get by until she can return home. Too bad there isn't a statute of limitations on the public's memory. Jackson Bienvenu spent his adult life in the military loving his work, but initially because he desperately wanted to get out of Cane and away from all the people who know his dreadful beginnings. Now all he wants is to be home and start a life and family in the one place he now knows he belongs. Life is good and going as he hoped until Elli's beautiful friend...her infuriatingly secretive friend, comes to town, needs work and has everyone championing to help her - which means they campaign for him to hire her. She does not fit into the future he wants and temporarily complicates all of his plans. Unfortunately, what your head has planned and what your heart wants doesn't always work together... Especially when there are threats, misadventure, danger and a crime that needs to be solved... Love. Laughter. Mystery. Suspense...and a whole lot of Cajun Charm.
