Book Review: Second Chance At The Ranch by Maxine Morrey

Second Chance At The Ranch is written by Maxine Morrey and published by HQ Digital.   The novel is set out in the Australian outback whilst she recovers from a terrible accident that has left her modelling career in tatters. Hero Scott is a successful model who keeps her emotions hidden behind a cool and icy facade in order to hid her true quiet, shy personality.  She has gone to Hill ranch, a cattle station, to be  with  her older sister, Juliet, who is marrying Pete, a rancher.    A romance blossoms between Hero and Nick. As the romance deepens the history and background explaining Hero’s fragility and aloofness emerges over a period of time. Both Hero and Nick are stubborn individuals, so although there is a strong chemistry between the pair, at others the sparks and tempers fly as neither one will back down.   Nick has trust issues which will potentially prevent him from committing fully and trusting Hero.  there enough to keep Hero in Australia or will she return to London for good? 


The author created the perfect sisterly bond between Hero and Justine. Even though they live on two different continents the sisters still have a bond and understand each other.  The relationship between Nick and Hero evolved and their adoration and love is clearly mutual.  The side relationship between Hero and the side character, Joe adds fireworks to the storyline!
