Between The Pages - Reinventing Riley

Reinventing Riley 
Liz Flaherty 
May 2022 

He’s afraid a second time at love wouldn’t live up to his first. She’s afraid a second round would be exactly like her first. 

Pastor Jake McAlister and businesswoman Riley Winters are in their forties and widowed. Neither is interested in a relationship. They both love Fallen Soldier, the small Pennsylvania town where they met, even though Rye plans to move to Chicago, and Jake sees a change in pastorates not too far down the road. Enjoying a few-weeks friendship is something they both look forward to. 

However, there is an indisputable attraction between the green-eyed pastor and the woman with a shining sweep of chestnut hair. Then there’s the Culp, an old downtown building that calls unrelentingly to Rye’s entrepreneurial soul. And when a young man named Griff visits Jake, life changes in the blink of a dark green eye. 

Between The Pages 
The second book in the Second Chances series is another inspirational, sweet romance. I enjoyed Pastor Jake’s character in the first book, so I was excited to read his story. The author packs a punch of emotion between the pages. Jake and Riley embark on a delightful friendship filled with chemistry. Their characters grow both separately as they overcome pain suffered in their pasts, as well as together as a couple. The author does a fabulous job of placing the reader into the story with a few interesting plot twists. Will Riley stay or leave Fallen Soldier? Will Jake leave the Little Church in the Woods? I recommend reading this book to find out!
