New Great Read!

I am always excited and, I'll admit it, a little hesitant when I hear of a new author. Yes, I'm sure you can relate. Sometimes I hear of a new author who is getting rave reviews, but I try his or her latest, and I'll admit it, I'm disappointed.

BUT NOT THIS TIME! This time, I was beyond impressed. Last year, I joined KYRW, and I met many great women who were aspiring and published writers. I found kindred spirits, and although I didn't know exactly what to expect, I felt welcome and inspired during some of the hardest moments of my life by the support of these fine women.

One of these women is an author that is newly published and that I would HIGHLY recommend. J. M. Madden has written an excellent read in SECOND TIME AROUND currently published in e-book format by Decadent Publishing.

Shane has made a nice, little life for herself as a police officer in horse country, Kentucky. As a single mom to a three-year-old son, and with parents who help her out when she needs them, her life seems perfect. That is until Quinn comes back to town. Quinn is the father of her son (but he doesn't know about said son yet), and the man who walked out of her life years ago. From the minute they meet up again though, sparks and clothes fly, and they can't keep their hands off of each other.

Quinn is determined to forge his way with his own horse farm installation, but he's having trouble with his prized thoroughbred stallion, his wealthy father, and apparently his own trusted employees. Not to mention, he has to come to terms with a son he didn't know about. But with the help of Shane, he might just make both their dreams come true.

Horses are such an integral part of Kentucky, and bring an element of romance all their own, but even if you know nothing about horse country, the story is one that will have you racing to the end of this book about two people who find a deep, lasting love the SECOND TIME AROUND.
