Beautifully Damaged (Shine Design Series Book 1) <— Ohhhh this one sounds right up our angsty romance alley my friends, and it just went live today! Laura Pavlov is this week’s newsletter sponsor, and to celebrate her new release, she’s giving away a signed copy + a gift card to one lucky winner here. AND It’s open to International!! 😀 !!!
So what’s it about?
Peyton Kroft was his forever, until the unthinkable happened. Walking away all those years ago had been the right thing to do, but he’s ready to put the past behind him. Moving to San Francisco and hiring his first love, the city’s top designer, is a good place to start. Yet it stirs up feelings he thought he’d buried.
Jackson Vance broke her heart. He took half of it with him on his way out of town. Picking up the pieces hadn’t been easy, but more than nine years later, Peyton is living her best life. Coming face to face with her first love is not on the agenda. He is beautiful, broken, and everything she’s ever wanted.
The past still hovers like a dark cloud. But every dark cloud has a silver-lining.
I’m lucky too, ’cause she sent me a fun swag box loaded in goodies (and a signed book of my very own), and I thought I’d video it for us. 😉 Wanna see?
Opening my swag box. It’s like Christmas in July!!
NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY !!
Laura Pavlov is giving away a signed copy of Beautifully Damaged + a $25 Amazon gift card!!
How to enter for a chance to win it? Just leave a comment below (and better yet, tell me your favorite second chance romance story) and by 10pm EST, Sunday July 28th, 2019, I will randomly select one lucky commenter as the winner.

Thank you very much for the giveaway. I do appreciate it. Second chance romance is one of my favorite themes and I’ve enjoyed most of the books I’ve read so far. Always, always LOVE this type of romance.
Laura Pavlov is a new author to me, but I love the sound of this story. I’m curious about her other books. I will very appreciate it if I get the chance to read this book.
OK, my favorite second chance romance books:
– Retrieval Duet
– Moonshot
– The Clover Chapel
– In The Stillness
– Say You’ll Stay
– Fighting Redemption
– Sweet Gum Tree
– Ride Steady
– Walk Through Fire
And all Kristen Ashley’s second chance romances.
Plus Some books that I forget the titles but remember the stories. Sorry I can’t list them. This post would be endless if I did. Hehe.
Anyway, thank you for the chance, Maryse and Laura. 🙂
RIDE STEADY AND WALK THROUGH FIRE are 2 of my favorites. Joker can ride into my dreams!

So many to choose from but one that stuck with me was Retrieval by Aly Martinez. Loved that duet.
Good luck!! Thanks for entering! xo
Maryse–that video is awesome! I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who uses the ‘treat’ trick with my dog! 🤣🤣🤣
My fave second chance romance is Lovely Trigger, and Ghosted is a close second (but in a completely different way).
LOL!! I have to spell out “T-R-E-A-T” and also “H-U-N-G-R-Y” to keep them from going crazy when it’s not time yet. 😉 And to tell you the truth, they’re starting to have reactions to me spelling those words, so I think they’re learning… brats!!
Thanks so much for entering and good luck!! xoxo
This sounds & looks amazing. My heart melts for second chance romance stories. This would also be my 1st book by this author. I’d be so honored to read it. Many thanks in advance for this great opportunity.
I would be honored to have you read it!!! I hope you love it!!
xoxo laura
Thanks so much for the giveaway! Who doesn’t love a great second chance romance? Jagged by Kristin Ashley is what popped into my head first so I’m going with that one. 🙂 I couldn’t possibly list all of my favs, who has time for that? Would love to win this book! My hubs wouldn’t know what to think if he saw an ACTUAL book in my hands.
Hahahaha i am the same way with my kindle!! I hope you love Beautifully Damaged!!
xoxo laura
Oh my goodness I couldn’t possibly decide on one second chance romance however I love Sweet Gum Tree, Ghosted, and Moonshot. Ooo but I love Forever My Girl too, man I could go on and on. Thanks so much for hosting this generous giveaway!
Of course! I hope you love this second chance romance too!!
xoxo laura
I’m not sure if it’s my favourite as I haven’t psyched myself up to read it yet, but Devney Perry’s Letters to Molly is one I haven’t got into the right head space to read yet. I love Devney, and have read everything else of hers. This one I’m sure will wreck me.
Hhahahh we all have those books that take us on an emotional roller coaster!! I hope you love Beautifully Damaged!!
xoxo laura
this is a new author for me also, Ride Steady I would have to say is up there on my list. But getting to know new great authors are great also.
Thanks for giving me a chance!! I hope you love it!!
xoxo laura

Really need a good read while staying out of the heat. Let’s hope it doesn’t make things to hot to be inside too. Maybe I should rethink that comment. Is there really a book that’s too hot?
