"As far as goodbyes went, I already knew this one was going to be the best and worst of my life."
L.E. Bross continues to impress me with her stunning, sexy and emotional heartfelt second chance romance stories. In the second installment to the Second Chances Series, Ms. Bross douses her readers on another sweet and tangible second chance romance that will set hearts ablaze with an unforgettable and palpable tale of love and sacrifices. In Whatever It Takes, Ms. Bross was able to beautifully juxtapose a heart-tugging and emotional past of first loves with a heartrending second chance of starting over and rekindling an old flame.
Being someone's first love may be great, but to be their last is beyond perfect. And for Ryan, he never thought a chance encounter seven years later with his first love, Tess would resurface old memories and feelings of the girl who owned his heart. Tess was the one. She was the girl that he never had forgotten. She was the girl that he could picture the white picket fence and kids. And so when he sees Tess struggling financially and has a toddler by her side, he never thought he would find himself standing at her doorstep ready to help her.
Tess had it all. She was enrolled in Brown University and was all set on course in fulfilling her dreams that is until she got the call that changed her life. Her father got convicted and is in prison and she had a choice to let her baby brother end up in the foster care system or step up as temporary guardian. Forced to dropped out of college, Tess had to grow up fast. She had to be the big sister and a parent to her three year old baby brother, Noah. With finances being so tight, she had to take make every penny count. And so when she ran into car trouble, she never expected to run into Ryan. Seeing Ryan after seven years, flooded back memories of happy times and love. As Ryan tries to integrate himself into Tess's life, he began to see these walls break down. What started off as something casual friendship was somehow turning to mean so much more. Can Tess let her guard down and let Ryan in? And when she finally sees a possible future with him, a new threat of losing her baby brother could ruin their chance? So will Ryan do whatever it takes to show Tess that her burden is also his burden? Can Tess and Ryan finally get their second chance at love?
"Because the girl I used to love needed help, and fuck me if I'd be able to walk away from that."
I absolutely love and adore Whatever It Takes. Ms. Bross had me smitten with Ryan's character and his sweet and protective nature. Everybody needs a hero and Ryan was indeed the hero that Tess needed in her life. Whatever It Takes may have been my favorite of the series because I am a sucker for first love second chance romance and Ms. Bross did an amazing job in tackling Tess and Ryan's relationship in such a beautiful and raw manner. She was able to juxtapose and weave the past and present perfectly. So if you are looking for a sweet, sexy, and heartfelt romance then I highly recommend you to read Whatever It Takes.
