BOOK REVIEW- THE SECOND TIME AROUND (The Worthingtons) by Ella Quinn

The Second Time Around (The Worthingtons) by [Quinn, Ella]
Can a beautiful Worthington widow find love again? Depends on who’s asking . . .

Before he died, Patience was the Earl of Worthington’s second wife. So why shouldn’t Patience be allowed a second chance at marriage, too? Of course, finding a new husband was not something the mother of four had ever planned on. But a surprise encounter with her first love has suddenly made the impossible seem possible all over again . . .

It seems like a lifetime ago that Richard, Viscount Wolverton, was halfway around the world, looking for adventure . . . while Patience, at her coming-out, was left with no choice but to take old Worthington’s hand. Richard never forgot the woman whose heart he yearned for—and now that he’s back, he’s not going to let her slip away again . . .AMAZON 4 Stars

I liked this sweet and at times bitter-sweet story.  Patience and Richard had missed so much time together.  Bad decisions and some manipulations had stolen from them. 

On the plus side is that they are both still in love with each other.  Richard is embracing in, vowing on to let her go.  And of course Pae is fighting it, she has a lot to lose.   "How in the world would a romance work out for them?" is a question that Pae (Richard's nickname for her) keeps running over and over in her mind.   And so did I, there were conditions that she couldn't overcome when it came to who had guardianship over her children and she had no choice.   It was either Richard or her children.  
Or is it?  All the children of the household work together like a team and once again Louisa (Patience oldest daughter) has some good ideas.

There will be a H.EA. but they have a lot of help from others getting there.  It's a good shorter story. 

There is a quick peek into Louisa's story and now I want to read that one.
