Story
Temporary. That's the word I'd use to describe my life right now. I'm temporarily working double shifts - at least until I can break free. I'm temporarily raising my little brother - since apparently our actual mother doesn't give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend - the flavor of the week for every guy who's heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.

Story
My first crush. My first kiss. The boy who ripped my heart out of my chest again and again. Over and over. I let him have it every single time. Willingly. We are that toxic high school couple you hear about, the one you witness in the hallway as they avoid each other. You laugh at them in class when they’re forced to work together, their gazes full of hatred. We are the couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year.... The back and forth is what kills me the most. I’m not his princess, I’m the girl he toys with when he’s bored.

Story
I started flirting with a guy while waiting for my car to be serviced. Now granted, he wasn’t just any guy. Tall. Dark. Hot. Mysterious. Can you blame me for wanting to talk to him? He’s in town visiting his parents. So am I. He goes to the same college as I do. Such a coincidence. Almost as if our meeting is destined. But I shouldn’t believe in that sort of thing. I am single as a Pringle and always ready to mingle. Until I keep running into Mr. Tall, Dark, and Mysterious everywhere I go.

Story
Knox Maguire is the king of our college campus, the star offensive tight end on the football team. He is the complete opposite of me in every way. I'm quiet. He's loud. I'm shy. He's definitely not. Everyone loves him. No one knows me. Fresh out of a breakup, I don't really trust him, and why should I? Knox is the ultimate player. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself we need to keep things between us strictly business. Watching my mother deal with my ex-athlete father long ago taught me to stay far away from that type of man. Yet Knox is impossible to resist.

Story
Whit Lancaster burst into my life like a storm. Dark and thunderous, furious and fierce. Cold, heartless, and devastatingly beautiful, like the statues in our prep school gardens. The school with his family name on the sign. He can do no wrong here. This is his domain. He’s a menace on campus. Adored and feared. Hated and respected. His taunting words carve into my skin, shredding me to ribbons. Yet his intense gaze scorches my blood, fills me with a longing I don’t understand.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Publisher's summary
"Lost. Everything in my life can be summed up by that one sickening word. My football coach blames me for our season-ending losses. So does the rest of the team. I wasted two whole months drowning in my own despair, like a complete loser. And I lost my girlfriend - Fable Maguire, the only girl who ever mattered - because I was afraid that being with me would only hurt her.
"But now I realize that I'm the one who's truly lost without her. And even though she acts like she's moved on and everything's fine, I know she still thinks about me just as much as I think about her. I know her too well. She's so damn vulnerable, all I want to do is be there to help her . . . to hold her . . . to love her.
"I just need her to give me one more chance. We may be lost without each other, but together, we're destined to find a love that lasts forever."

Story
Desperate to find a new mechanic, the last thing Reddington expects is a woman to show up, let alone one with a sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to just do her job and not give him lip. He can't deny he's hoping to catch a view of her bent over a hood, but there's not a chance in hell that's going to happen. As much as Red wants to take her for a test drive, he knows he needs to keep his priorities straight.

This book is told in alternating POVS of Drew & Fable and it picks up two months after One Week Girlfriend left off. Fable is trying to move on with her life despite the heart-break. She has a new job and is doing her best to take care of herself and her brother Owen. Drew is completely miserable without Fable but he still believes he is not good enough for her. So, Drew simply runs because thats what he does best. Eventually, he does take some steps in his life by starting to see a psychologist. Then one night Drew accidentally run into Fable at her new work place and it only takes seconds for the sparks to ignite. Soon Drew and Fable are lost in one another. They’re more open and honest with one another and it looks like everything is falling in place for them. But when Drew’s dad decides to divorce Adele and Fable’s mom skips out of town, taking everything with her and leaving Fable and Owen to fend for themselves, Fable and Drew must make a few decisions that could affect their future. If the secrets and lies from Drew's past are revealed, specifically to Drew’s father who's still in the dark about Adele, his soon to be ex-wife who's obsessed with having Drew for her own. She'll will stop at nothing to make it happen, even if it means getting rid of Fable by any means necessary. Second Chance Boyfriend is just like the title states. It’s all about second chances. This final book is truly about Drew & Fable finding their way back to one another, learning how to be there for one another while allowing their love to blossom. It focuses more on them opening up to each other & building a trusting relationship. Their connection is undeniable! They have crazy chemistry and u cannot get enough of their sexy times together! All in all, Second Chance Boyfriend was a tender-hearted and passionate conclusion to Drew and Fables love story.

Good ending to the series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes
What was one of the most memorable moments of Second Chance Boyfriend?
When Drew finally proposed.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
They are both good and I'm glad the author kept them for the second book
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the mom finally left her kids, and Owens reaction. As a mom it killed me.

The Actual novel is AMAZING!!!
The narrators almost completely ruined this book for me. They ladies (or at least one of them) had a mid-western accent (Kate Rudd or Tanya Eby)that didn’t sit right and Luke Daniels who voiced Drew sounded WAY TOO OLD (voice wise) to be Drew but was perfect for his dad. These voices just didn’t hit the story the way I “heard” it in my head so a bit disappointing.
However, that couldn’t take away from this amazing book which I LOVED! I’ll bet had I been actually reading it, there would have been at least 2 maybe more spots I would have ugly cried had the emotion been right behind the words. Monica Murphy is a great author who almost always delivers!!!
Drew and Fable are a real life couple with real life problems and I loved that about them. They had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at them and they never gave it. It made them stronger.
All in all a great contribution to this series and I can see why their story is STILL being heralded so many years after these books came out! A love story for the times and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Amazing
I loved this book! (series) the ploy was good, kind of predictable, but! these are one of the books where I liked the heroine just as much if not more then the hero in the story! Fable is an amazingly strong person, I liked how her character was straight up and honest and didn't pull unnecessary things I noticed the relationship, for having a messed up life both Fable and Drew have one of the most stable romantic relationships I've ever read!

Still wish I read this.
This does tie up the first book
I did not care for this story as much as the first book. I think it could have been shorter. I think Fable was meaner in this one. Drew was working on himself which was excellent to see but Fable gave him no leeway even knowing his past and lack of ever being in a relationship.
The narrators ruined both characters for me. Kate was loud and harsh and Luke was over the top melodramatic and cartoonish sounding.
His voice was too old for a 21 year old. I read the Callaghan’s series before this and that Drew did not seem to be so over the top with his emotions or thoughts.
I wish there had been more about him getting into the NFL and deciding to start having kids. Perhaps she will write a story about that time in Fable and Drew’s life up until their kids go to middle school and high school.
I enjoyed the Callaghan’s series much more. It’s about their kids.

Great story
This is a great story. I love seeing how Drew and Fable started after meeting their characters in the Callahan series. They were truly meant for one another. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Female narrator is wonderful, the male narrator was hard to listen to.

I own this series both Kindle and audible!
Where does Second Chance Boyfriend rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Clearly Monica Murphy is one of my favorite authors!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
When you get as invested in the characters like I do you can't help but feel everything they feel throughout the story. The author and narrator do fabulous jobs of portraying the characters!

Very good addition to the series :D
4 stars
This was a very good story. I really liked both Drew and Fable and was so happy to see things work out for them in this story. For anyone considering this that hasn't read book #1 [book:One Week Girlfriend|17202452] I would definitely recommend reading that before starting this book. The back story is decently spelled out in this book but I think there would still be gaps without the reading of [book:One Week Girlfriend|17202452] first.
Fable is a young woman that has a lot on her shoulders. She is pretty much a mother to her 14 year old brother, Owen, since their mother is a drunk that barely is around. She spent a week with Drew over Thanksgiving vacation and fell for him during that time but because of some seriously messed up stuff that went down, Drew pulled away and stayed away. After a couple months, Fable figured Drew was never coming back and tried to move on with her life.
Drew has had a lot of bad in his life, things that have scared him emotionally. Because of this, he shut down emotionally and Fable was the first girl that brought out emotions in him. Drew started falling for Fable over Thanksgiving vacation in his home town. Drew was very unhappy that she ended up finding out his deep, dark secrets but was surprised and happy that she could still care for him regardless of his dark past. Unfortunately, some devastating news he found out right at the end of book #1 caused him to freak and pull away from Fable. Once he pulled away, Drew had trouble going to see Fable because he felt she deserved so much better than him and was sure he'd messed things up so she wouldn't want him any more anyways.
Fable misses Drew but wasn't able to get him to return her calls or anything so she finally gave up. She ends up getting a job at a new restaurant where she makes much better money. Drew has been seeing a counselor (or maybe she's a psychiatrist, I can't remember if it said) about his emotional issues and trying to work through things. He lies to himself about how much he wants to see Fable but it's not just Fable he's pulled away from...it's everyone. His counselor recommended that he get out more and see friends so he agrees to go to the birthday party of one of the football team at a new restaurant in town. He goes and is surprised to see Fable working as a waitress at the restaurant. He doesn't approach her but when one of the other guys gets drunk and starts hassling her, Drew is quick to step in to try to help her. They end up getting a chance alone to talk but Fable isn't willing to trust Drew after he ditched on her and then left her alone for months so she's not very receptive to him. Later, Drew ends up texting Fable with their key word (from book #1), marshmallow, which has always been their keyword meaning one of them is in trouble and needs saving. This gets Drew and Fable together again and Drew is able to talk to Fable and get her to give him another chance. She's still leery of relying on him but is willing to start seeing him and see how things go.
Things are bumpy as Drew and Fable try to sync their lives together. Fable has never had anyone to take care of her and isn't used to taking help from anyone or having to rely on anyone so now she has trouble letting Drew in. Drew has never been in a relationship before and seeing that he has a tenancy to stick his foot in his mouth, he doesn't always say that right things and sometimes pisses Fable off. They both love each other though. They wont admit it to each other at first but they do make an effort to make things work and eventually are able to admit their feelings for each other. I really liked seeing them work through their issues and grow their relationship in to something serious and solid. They encounter a lot of drama that that has to be dealt with along the way. Mostly these are family issues as Fable's mom ends up completely deserting her and Owen so Fable becomes completely responsible for Owen. It doesn't help matters that Owen is freaked by his mom's abandonment and proceeds to blame Fable for their mom leaving (making things even harder on Fable but Drew steps up wonderfully and helps out as much as she'll let him). Drew also has family issues as his father and step-mother are going through a possible divorce and he's plagued with the doubts on whether he should tell his father what his step-mother did to him when he was young. The decision is taken out of his hands but it ends up being a good thing and Drew is relieved when his dad doesn't blame Drew for what happened. He's also very happy that this will mean that his step-mother will be out of their lives for good. Unfortunately, more drama comes their way when Drew's step-mother turns psycho and threatens Fable. Drew steps up again and puts himself in the line of fire to save Fable and the danger is brought to an end. After that we're given a bit more with a glimpse that goes a bit in to the future so we can see how things are going for Drew and Fable. I really loved the ending and loved seeing Drew and Fable get their well deserved HEA.
This was a very good story. I really loved Fable and Drew and enjoyed seeing their story. It was such a good story, seeing them work their way through obstacles to be together and support each other was great. Things weren't always smooth but it's great to see people that are willing to work to stay together and make things work. I'd recommend this book (but after reading [book:One Week Girlfriend|17202452]). Thumbs up! :D
* note - This audiobook had 2 narrators, one female for the parts that came from Fable's PoV and the other male for the part from Drew's PoV. They both did a good job and there were a few times (especially on the narration of Drew's PoV) where the narration surprised me with how well it expressed the emotions of that point in the story.

Take A Chance On This
I wasn't as crazy about this book as I was for the first. But I needed to know about this couple's HEA. The narration was okay even though I had to push myself to finish it.

Less sex, more story please
First, let me say that I am a Monica Murphy fan and that fact has not changed. I was looking forward to this sequel, but I really struggled to finish. There was waaayyyy more sex than story. I would have loved to know more about Drew and Fable's future. All that said, I am still looking forward to reading more of Monica's books.
Also, I like Luke Daniels, but I felt like his voice made Drew sound older than he was. That was a little distracting in both this book and One Week Girlfriend.
