Second Chances: A small town, reverse age gap romance (Beaumont Creek Book 2) Kindle Edition

Book 2 of 5: Beaumont Creek

See all formats and editions

The first rule of dating as a single mother should be: Don’t date your son’s teacher.

The second rule should be: Don’t let your past hold you back from your future.

But when the gorgeous, much-too-young-for-me single dad moved to town, I found it impossible to avoid his advances. Especially when my sister and her husband gave him an open invitation to our weekly family dinners.

I knew better than to let anything happen between us. I didn’t want to get close to him and his daughter, only for him to possibly walk away. Just like my kids’ father had done to them.

Letting Dominic into our lives was never the plan. I needed to be strong, to resist the temptation and keep everyone’s hearts intact.

The only problem was that I wasn’t strong enough to fight our chemistry when the pull was so powerful.

Everyone has weaknesses.

And Dominic? Well, he just happened to be mine.

*This book can be read as a standalone, but if you want all of the juicy town gossip, be sure to read Just One Time (Book 1) first. This series is made up of interconnected standalones that feature characters from the other books, but each book has a happily ever after and features a different character.

Dominic and Jane are an amazing couple. Loved their chemistry and intensity with each other. They had a few road blocks to get to their ending, but it was amazing as they overcame them.

Spicy Reverse Age Gap!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

Verified Purchase

Dominic is new to town, taking up a long-term substitute teacher gig for a teacher put on maternity leave. He also has an adorable toddler. And he's single. What's Jane, a single pediatrician with two kids of her own to do when they keep crossing paths? Not to mention he's now her son's teacher, she's his daughter's doctor, and he is ten years younger than her.

This is my first reverse age gap and I loved it even more than I thought I would! There were also a few surprises in this book that I wasn't expecting! Jane is the one who is hesitant to commit to a relationship with Dominic, not the other way around as we often see. Even better, we get to see a guy step up and treat kids, who aren't his, as they are his own. *swoon* I would easily pick this book up again and read it, which I don't usually do. Now bring me Capshaw and book three!!

THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You like your book characters a little older (as in not in their 20s), a guy who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and small town feels.

Easy read but lacks some depth

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023

Spoiler: This book is the second in the series which focuses on Jane, Abby’s 42 year old older sister and town pediatrician who also happens to be a divorced single mother of 2. Her ex is a jerk who really doesn’t want to involved in the kids lives and has moved onto a 20 something year old. Enter Dominic who is a single father of an infant and her son’s teacher. His ex is a drug addict. Their chemistry is strong with some spicy scenes. It was great to watch their relationship grow and how they navigated the nuances of their families and kids.

While I thought this story was an easy read and I liked the characters I felt it was just a little flat in terms of conflict. I loved the text messages among her, Dominic, Abby and Nate. Also appreciated the closure on her previous fling with Capshaw, but some things were just a bit predictable with the condom breaking and her getting pregnant. Then her freaking out and putting up walls. I just wish there was a bit more depth.

It’s a sweet easy read though so if you want something easy try this one.

I enjoyed this just as much as the first book. I'm so glad they got there happy ending; it wasn't an easy road for them, but they got there.

Loved it!

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

This book was not what I was expecting and I was here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 it 👏🏻! Jane is the woman all mothers aspire to be. She adores her kids and will do anything the keep them happy, even with a PITA ex-husband working so hard to undo her hard work. She’s a dedicated Pediatrician who strives to do right by her patients. She’s a fantastic sister to Abby and Aunt to Penny. But her disaster of a first marriage has left her guarded and jaded and she often puts her happiness on the back burner. When Dominic comes into her life she has no idea how to handle him being the father of a patient and her sons new substitute teacher. Her moral high ground is telling her to stay away but the butterflies in her stomach are urging her for more.

Dominic is the hot, new single dad trying to find his place in his new, small town. When Jane finally let’s him in, he’s hot and heavy for her and his dirty mouth is enough to make anyone blush. He’s supportive and adores Jane’s kids as much as Jane adores his daughter, Olivia. But when one event changes everything, Jane retreats back to her old ways and shoves Dominic out before she can get hurt, even with the huge changes that are coming both their ways. Jane needs to figure out if Dominic is worth the risk and Dominic has to figure out how to get her to see how amazing they are destined to be.

I love how the main characters compliment each other so well! Jane is the serious, selfless caretaker and Dominic is the lighthearted, glass half full man to get Jane to lighten up. I’m in awe of the way they think of all the children in all their actions and they aren’t afraid to love each others kids. The supporting cast is the absolute best and I loved seeing Abby, Nate, and Penny come back to keep everyone in stitches.

Terrific Small Town Romance

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2023

Jane and Dominic are attracted to each other but Jane feels like there are so many reason to stay away from her. She is his daughter’s pediatrician, and he is her son’s teacher, plus he is younger. Jane has been burned before as well - her ex-husband was not a good father and continues to be a poor co-parent. But Dominic wears her down and they start a relationship with each other and spending time with each other’s children. But when their relationship is thrown a curveball, can Jane trust him enough to build a future together?

I have read the other books in this series as well and really liked them. You could read this as a stand alone but there is value in reading in order.

Second chance romance

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023

4.25 stars. Oh man this was a great second chance at love romance. We have single mom Jane who is raising two kids with a less than stellar ex husband who has found himself a new woman while also balancing her job as a Dr.

Dominic is new in town and looking to start a new life. A single dad to an adorable little girl and the new teacher in town. These two cross paths when his daughter gets sick and the attraction is instant. One problem, he happens to be the teacher for Jane's son.

Meddling parents, Jane's and Dominic's find these two together at family outings. After fighting their attraction these two finally combust in a steamy night. But when things get too real Jane pulls away.

Dominic has golden retriever energy with a dirty mouth and I was so here for it. Jane is relatable in that she puts her kids first but sometimes at the expense of her happiness. I found myself wanting to slap some sense into her multiple times. I also wanted the story to keep going. I hope we see more of these two in other books. If you love small town romance with lovable characters and happy endings look no further.
