This is book 2 in the Ladies of the Links series however it can be read as a stand-alone. This is a second chance romance between Christy and Ryan. It’s very cute and quick. Christy has struggled for 6 years to be a good mom to her twin girls with the help of her very talented (and psychic bff) before running into Ryan again. They quickly realize the feelings are still there but don’t want to rush into anything since the girls are there to consider. Cute humor, sweet moments and adorable 5 year old twins make this a super adorable read!

I read this as a stand-alone and felt pretty comfortable right away, though this author held my attention from the first page so I’m sure I’ll be going back to the first book now! I enjoyed the small-town feel of this book with the added sports, drama, and steam to make it extra interesting. Though there were a couple of moments the story kind of stalled out for me, I enjoyed it overall and will be continuing the series. I will definitely be on the lookout for this author more in the future. Give it a chance and you’ll fall in love with the characters!

Romantic Story! The story was well written with great characters. This is a page turner that will captivate you. I love that this was a true fairytale story. I recommend to anyone who is looking for a great read to escape your norm. This was my first read by this author, but I will read more in the near future.

Ladies of the Links #2 is part of the Ladies of the Links Series. It is a Sports Romance story that centers around the characters of Christy and Ryan. Christy’s job as pool manger allows her to spend extra time with her twin girls. As a single mother she loves being able to work while also being able to raise her children in a safe environment. When the club gets a new member by the name of Ryan, Christy’s life suddenly becomes very complicated. There is a chance that Ryan could expose the secret that she has been hiding for years. Especially since Ryan becomes suspicious when he looks at the twin girls who not only bare striking similarities to himself, but each girl bares his namesake. He quickly realizes that this must be more than pure coincidence and suspects that he is the father to the twin girls. This was an interesting storyline and I had to continue reading to see what would happen to Christy and Ryan. I became very invested in their lives, in their backstory, and in their future. I needed answers to all the questions that came to mind. What will become of Christy if her secret is revealed? What will Ryan think of her? Will she ever be able to live down the gossip? Would Christy and Ryan rekindle whatever it was that they once had? I enjoyed how the story flowed almost as though it was written as a diary, and I was getting inside someone’s most personal thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend!

Christy has a huge surprise for Ryan when they first meet again after 6 years apart that will change his life forever but definitely makes life better. For Ryan this is a second chance with the one woman he has always held in his heart and this time around he is not letting her go! This book has characters you will just love and some laugh out loud moments created by side characters that will keep you captivated page after page. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am sure it won't be the last.

This was a good 4 star read. I was pulled right in with the author's writing. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I had several LOL moments. We get so much from these two, love, pain, LOL moments and so much more. These two haven’t seen each other in years. When Ryan and Christy see each other again the old spark comes alive. Can they make it work the 2nd time around? Will Ryan be open to being a dad? Overall this was a good read. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. If you're looking for a great 2nd chance romance, 1-click and get started today.

Cute second-chance romance. This book is part of the Ladies of the Links series. However, it can be read as a stand-alone, which is what I did. I love that our main characters meet up again six years later and pick up together with their children as if no time has passed. I will be adding Book 1 to my TBR.

Ladies of the Links (Ladies of the Links Book 2) by Haley Rhoades. This is such a fun, emotional second chance romance. Its the story of Christy and Ryan who were high school sweethearts. Ryan loves Christy but he loves football more and with that choice Christy leaves and doesn't look back. When she does return to town with twin girls in tow she begins working as the Pool manager at the Club in her neighborhood. When Ryan shows up to join she is caught so off guard. Not seeing him for 5 years and living her life as a mom she has been happy and now he shows back up when she is starting to get over him. Seeing him brings all kinds of feelings up. Ryan has always loved Christy and would love nothing more than to get back with her. Will secrets they have kept from each other ruin their chances of getting back together? Read this second chance romance to find out!

I haven't read the first book in the series but this was a quick, easy romance read. I don't usually read sports romance but I do like a second chance and this gave me what I wanted - angst, drama and secrets. And of course, you can't go wrong when it's a little bit steamy. I'll be sure to check out the rest of this series!

Ladies of the Links #2 is the second book to this series by Haley Rhoades. While I did not read book 1, it was still easy to dive into this story and enjoy the storyline between Christy and Ryan. It was obvious from the intensity of the beginning that this story would be filled of passion and regret, and it only grew stronger as the story progressed. I abolsutely enjoyed it. Christy was a joy for me from the beginning as a favorite character. I loved the writing and absolutely recommend. Perhaps would be even better if reading book 1 first. But either way, definitely worth it! Writing and plot was spot on!!
