Can love, romance, and marriage really be better the second time around? That's what four best friends are about to find out in Jean Stone's sexy, smart and poignantly funny new novel about saying "I do" all over again.

Its an idea just crazy enough to work a wedding-planning business tailored for second weddings run by four single best friends whove loved, whove lost, and who are ready to start again. A successful Boston publicist, Jo Lyons has returned to West Hope after a devastating breakup left her career and her heart broken. Now shell try to pick up the pieces among the three women she knows best. Lily, the fun-loving, free-spirited eternal optimist. Sarah, the strong-willed unconventional artist. Elaine, the would-be domestic diva. Its Elaines upcoming second marriage that will be the inspiration and test model for their new business, Second Chances. For Jo it just may be an unexpected second chance of a difference, far more romantic kind, but only if shes willing to give love and life another try.

The first book in the Second Chances series. A group of 4 "40 something" college friends reunite to form Second Chances "specializing in magical marriages for the second time around". Jo, Lily, Elaine, and Sarah are four single college friends who have loved and lost. They come together at the occaision of Elaine's marriage and decide to turn the planning of her wedding into a new business venture. This story revolves around Jo.

A friend picked this up for me at the RWA convention and I loved it! I can't wait to read the next book in the series. This book is an Advanced Reading Copy.
