Second Chance Boyfriend by Monica Murphy
4.0
I absolutely loved Drew and Fable in One Week Girlfriend and couldn't wait to get more of their story. This book is the second book in the Drew & Fable series, and should only be read after One Week Girlfriend. This book picks up after the first one, and continues to tell the story of Drew and Fable as they try to move on from their pasts and see what is possible for their future. Second Chance boyfriend was a great follow up, and I thought that Monica Murphy gave Drew and Fable a great beginning to their new life together.
After the end of One Week Girlfriend, Drew has left Fable thinking that he isn't good enough for her and that she deserves more. He has begun to see a professional in order to deal with everything that he has gone through in the past. Fable has a new job at a restaurant and has left the crappy bar behind. One night, Drew comes in with his football teammates and they reconnect. From there Drew and Fable realize that they never got over each other and that they want to be together. Being together is easier said than done though, as there are still many things standing in their way. Drew is still trying to get used to the idea that Fable can know everything about him and still care about him. Fable is trying to juggle working and supporting her family while also trying to trust that Drew won't run and leave her again. As they are making progress, Fable's mom up and leaves taking everything and Drew's dad decides to divorce Adele. But with everything around them falling apart and the truth coming out only a matter of time, can Drew and Fable have a future together?
I really loved Drew in One Week Girlfriend, and I loved him even more in Second Chance Boyfriend if that is possible. He is sweet and charming, and the way he feels about Fable just melts my heart. He is so devoted to her that you can't help but root for him. I loved that even though he ran and made some really poor decisions, he never quit caring about her. I still really liked Fable as well. She was still the same feisty heroine who would do anything for those she cares about. I love how fierce she is when it comes to her boys. She never wavers, and that is something that I really admire about her. I also love how she accepts Drew exactly as he is and while supportive of him and his choices, she never pushes him do anything he isn't ready to. Fable and Drew are great for each other, and their connection is undeniable. I really loved that we got to see them healing and moving towards a future together in this story because they both deserve it so much. As much as I love Drew and Fable, I also really enjoyed the new characters that we are introduced to as well as Owen. I really liked Jen and Colin and can't wait to see more of what is really going on there. I also just love Owen and his relationship with Fable. They are such a cute pair of siblings, and even though they have issues like all siblings do, you could tell just how much they really care about each other. I loved when Owen got all protective of Fable with Drew and that even though he was younger and smaller wasn't afraid to stand up for his sister.
I will admit, and I don't think this will shock anyone, that I absolutely hate Adele and Fable's mom. Adele is absolutely crazy. I knew she was a bit off and had a ton of issues, but I had no clue just how sick and twisted she was until I read the chapter with her POV. Even though I don't condone what she did, it was nice to see her get what was coming to her. I think its so cowardly doing that though, and I was hoping that she would have been made to suffer more. I also really hated Fable's mom. I hated that she just up and left and besides the text, her portion of the story is pretty much dropped. I would have liked to have seen her have to deal with what she has done to her children. Overall though, I thought that this was a great installment in the series and I'm really happy that Fable and Drew ended up where they did. They are so great together and their connection is just so real and deep. If you have read One Week Girlfriend, this story is an absolute must read. Fable and Drew are characters that I think many romance readers will enjoy and love. They aren't your typical characters and they are damaged, but I think that just makes it easier to relate to them. I really enjoyed watching them grow and change over the course of these two books.
