Second Chance Mistletoe Kisses (Love Tries Again #1)
Anne-Marie Meyer
Two broken hearts plus one meddling grandmother equals a Christmas to remember. Quinn is a single mom who's down on her luck. It's a few days before Christmas and despite the fact that she's desperately trying to keep her world from crumbling down, fate isn't on her side. Just as she wrangles her five-year-old daughter into her truck, the wind picks up and scratches the Jaguar next to her. Dollar signs flash through her eyes, but it's nothing compared to the fact that the car belongs to Collin Stewart—the boy who broke her heart so many years ago. Collin is back in his sleepy home town to spend the holidays with his sick grandmother. While out on an errand for her, he discovers that the girl he's never really been able to forget about has scratched his car. His thoughts keep returning to her and at the prompting of his grandmother, he calls her to inquire about her plans for the holidays. He soon discovers that there's been a fire at Quinn's house and the only plausible thing to do is ask her to stay with him. It's difficult enough living in close quarters with a person you once loved, but add in Collin's sneaky grandmother or Quinn's precocious daughter and feelings become hard to ignore. Both want to protect themselves, and before they can fully trust one another, they need to decide if they can overcome their fears.

0 I wish I would’ve done more research before buying this book. I understand that several of these reasons are my own doing, but that doesn’t change my opinions.
First reason being it’s in third person and I absolutely loathe reading books that aren’t in first person. Second, it’s only 140 pages. The cost was more that of a full price book so I was expecting more. Third, the editing (or lack thereof?) wasn’t great. I’ll give an example of a page that I had to re-read four times to make it make sense. Quinn is the FMC/mother. Macie is Quinn’s daughter. It’s like the author got their own characters mixed up and it was somehow missed in the editing process.
“Quinn studied his Jag and moved to protest but then chewed the inside of her cheek.
"Okay. Let me get Quinn's booster seat."
She walked over to her truck and pulled open the door. It squeaked and groaned as she swung it wide. After removing her purse, the bag of ribbon-making items, and Quinn's booster seat, she climbed out. She pushed the passenger seat forward, grabbed the suitcase full of Macie's clothes which she had left in her truck after Ryan's last no-show, and slammed the door.
Once Macie was buckled, Quinn studied the back seat and then the passenger seat.”
There were a few other instances but I’ve given this book enough of my time and don’t really care to give it more.
