Healing My Heart: A Second Chance Single Dad Romance

4 Star Review Healing My Heart (Second Chance Chicago #2) by Gina Azzi Gina Azzi is a new author to me and I have no idea why I have not come across her books before. Healing My Heart is a second chance at love story which was an entertaining read. Evan and Charlie have history and when Charlie finds herself returning home to contemplate her future she runs in to single dad Evan, the man who broke her heart and volunteers to help him out with his young son Ollie since he seems to need a nanny. Despite herself and her determination to keep the walls she has built protecting her heart up, Evan and Ollie soon start chipping them away. The baggage that both Evan and Charlie carry is real but if they can get through it and face the past and the drama, then they have a chance at a future together. Can the spirit of Christmas brings these two together and in doing so create a loving family for Ollie? The secondary characters were entertaining and when time permits I will be reading the rest of the books in this series.

This new story by Gina Azzi is going to keep you turning the pages until the very end! Full of heart, heat and the right amount of angst this story is going to keep you invested! This is the story of Evan and Charlie. I absolutely admired Charlie! Her self-preservation skills were amazingly honest and real. I so empathized with her and I was cheering her hard. She knew she deserved more and her past has shown her that she deserves it! She is definitely one of my favorite heroines! Evan, oh my me Evan...I could understand his hesitancy. I admired his strength to do the right thing, but it broke my heart to read it. When they reunite, after years apart, you can see how both Evan and Charlie have changed and become better versions of themselves. It was swoony to see the sparks fly between them and I almost applauded when I saw the strength of character that both Charlie and Evan showed. The flow of this story was perfect, I liked how the passage of time was written, it didn't bog the reader down, and it made the story even more realistic. I have yet to read a story by Ms. Azzi that I haven't fallen in love with. Healing My Heart is absolutely no exception!

4.5 Stars for Healing My Heart ( Second Chance Chicago #4) This is the first book I have read by Gina Azzi but it certainly won’t be the last because Charlie and Evan’s story ticked all my boxes, in fact it’s left wanting to play catch up with the rest of this entertaining series. I may not have read the previous books in Second Chance, Chicago but that didn’t stop me falling hard and fast for this couple as well as loving all the secondary characters. Evan is a single dad to Ollie, a workaholic with a failed marriage behind him so the last thing he is looking for is love ..... Charlie is home for the holidays and when she sees Evan struggling without a nanny for Ollie she jumps in feet first without thinking about the consequences of being around the man who broke her heart three years ago.... Will second time around work any better for this couple and will the Christmas Spirit work it’s magic and bring this couple and Ollie together as a family. I really enjoyed this holiday second chance romance and I’m excited to read the rest of the series even if I’m doing it back to front. Great read that will put you in the holiday mood.
