Love Begins at 50

A Second Chance at Love (Arabesque)by Janice Sims Originally I bought this novel because it had an attractive mature couple on the cover. The back cover said. . "fifty-something and fabulous. . ." I read the novel over a weekend because it was so beautifully written and held my attention from the moment I started to read it. The heroine Toni Shaw an accomplished author is a divorced single parent with grown twin daughters. Her ex-husband Charles Waters, father of the twins Georgie and Bree, has re-entered Toni's life and wants a chance to regain her love. But Toni is already in a comfortable relationship with Spencer Taylor. And, as Toni reminds Charles, the past is not so easily forgotten. Charles is determined not to make the same mistake he made many years ago, by letting Toni out of his life. However he finds his hands are tied when she decides to follow her theory behind the recent theft of a fertility goddess. The search for truth and the statutes takes Toni from New Orleans to her final destination, Africa. A Second Chance At Love whisks its readers on a journey of pure romantic adventure to exotic locales with unfamiliar customs and a kidnapping with a breathtaking rescue. (I loved that one of the kidnappers starts to 'moon' over the kidnapee). Romance, intrigue and suspense is everywhere, from the twins and their mates to Dr. Solange Dupree and handsome, mysterious Rupert Giles. I have read this novel several times and still love it.

~THE LOVING NEVER STOPS!!~

In this sequel to ALL THE RIGHT REASONS, Ms. Sims really outdid herself. Toni and Chuck proved that age only makes the loving better, and they do with style. Ms. Sims smoothly brought us up to date on Toni, Chuck, Bree, and Georgie. With the addition of new characters like the beautiful, yet smart Dr. Solange Dupree and the handsome, mysteriously sexy and disappearing(you'll have to read the book to get that) Rupert Giles along with a handsome villain Yusef, and his beautiful wife Salah. This story has everything you look for in romantic suspense, plenty of romance with love scenes and suspense that will both have you waiting to exhale. The plot and storyline is so well written that in the end I was feeling sorry for Yusef and Salah and wishing them a happy ending. Maybe Ms. Sims will see fit to give them at least an honourable mention in the next installment, hint hint (I certainly hope there is one in the making). :-)Be sure if you are one of the few who haven't read ALL THE RIGHT REASONS to pick it up along with A SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE and get caught up in a ride you will not want to end. Another good read by this author is THE KEYS TO MY HEART in the A VERY SPECIAL LOVE anthology.

Truly Wonderful!

Ms. Sims has done it again! "A Second Chance At Love" is a great book. Toni Shaw and Charles Waters make a loving couple. They show that true love is indeed worth waiting for. Not only does the reader gets to find out what happens with Toni and Chuck, but also what happens with Georgie and Clay and Bree and Dominic. In this story, Bree is definitely the heroine. She went through some tough times, but her acting skills helped her endure. Also, with Bree's situation, Dominic comes to realize that he does truly love Bree and wants her completely in his life. Not only does Toni and Chuck have a second chance at love, but so does Bree and Dominic. Each couple realize the importance of love and what each one means to the other. Georgie and Clay also have a happy ending. After losing his first wife to violence, Clay has to overcome his fears for Georgie's safety. Georgie and Clay also have a love that's made to last a lifetime.Ms. Sims has given the readers an update of Toni Shaw and her family's story originally began in "All the Right Reasons," but she has also given the reader intrigue and adventure. Rupert is a dashing, mysterious man that has Solange thinking romantic thoughts of him. Is there perhaps an upcoming story regarding Rupert and Solange? If so, I am sure I would truly enjoy their story as well as the others books by Ms. Sims. Good luck, Ms. Sims and keep up the writing.

Ahhh, Second Chances Are So Good!

Can a woman trust a man after he has committed the crime of turning his back on her - leaving her to bear and raise his child all alone? Charles Waters is betting his heart that Toni Shaw's love for him runs deep enough to forgive him his past transgression. Toni, on the other hand, is not so sure. Yes, she's let Chuck back into her life - into her bed. But now he wants entry to her heart - forever!Janice Sims has done it once again with this long awaited sequel to her novel "All The right Reasons." For those readers who wanted Toni Shaw and Charles Waters to have their very own story; in "A Second Chance At Love" Ms. Sims gives you that, plus much, much more!In this novel Toni finds herself intrigued by the mysterious disappearances of valuable fertility statues. She flies (and lovesick Chuck follows) to Miami to see the last of the statues - which is owned by Dr. Solange Dupree. Once there, they find that they are caught up in one man's missguided plan to collect all of the statues - at any cost! Their adventures eventually take them to the shores of the Motherland - Africa.Anyone who's read any of her work knows that when you read a Janice Sims novel, you're going to get a great story. No disappointment here! The storyline is a mixture of mystery, intrigue and drama. And ohhhhh the romance! I have never read one romance novel with so many great couples - Mmmmmmmm! The diverse characters and sub-plots make this novel read like a soap opera! I was literally shouting aloud at the characters - good thing I was alone!If you're expecting this latest offering from Janice Sims to simply be about a couple in their fifties rediscovering their love for each other and then settling into their rocking chairs, you'd better hold on...you're in for one wild ride! And to answer your question Ms. Sims - Yes! I definitely think Solange and Rupert should have their own book. Especially since Rupert has propositioned and Solange has...well, I'd better not spoil it!

Another Sims blockbuster

Janice Sims never fails to craft stories that keep us turning the pages late into the night. That is the case with her newest offering "A Second Chance at Love."As usual, you can't put a Janice Sims book down until you finish reading every last word. With a wonderful blend of mystery, romance, suspense and even foreign intrigue, Ms. Sims manages to tell not just one story or even two. No, she takes no prisoners when she offers us six different novels covering three generations within 282 pages. First we have the story of Toni Shaw and Charles Waters, the fifty-something parents of twin daughters, Brianna and Georgette. We first met Georgette in "All the Right Reasons" and now we get a wonderful update on her and her husband Clayton Knight. The third romance is between Brianna and Dominic Solomon. Forth, we have Toni's parents, who, after more than fifty years together, prove the theory that seventy is still sexy. Yusef and Salah Makonnen are the fifth romantic couple. Bringing up the rear is the budding romance between Dr. Solange DuPree and the very British Rupert Giles. Whew! And you didn't need a score card to keep up with all of the players. Now that's what I call a writer!!
