After fifteen long years, marriage, two kids and a divorce, Alexia still dreams about Robert. A man she loved with all her heart, but let walk out of her life because he wouldn't commit. Alexia wanted marriage, a home and children with Rob more than anything, but when he refused her once again, she let him go. She got what she wanted elsewhere with Tom and even though it turned out badly, she doesn't regret it because of the girls.

Now with the girls away with their dad, and Alexia free for the summer from her teaching job, she has lots of extra time to dream about how Robert brought her body alive. Not wanting to dwell on that, Alexia packs up her laptop and goes to her favorite coffeehouse to try and get some writing done on her next romance book. And who does she see signing books when she arrives, none other than the man that has been visiting her during her dreams.

Robert knew that Alexia got married. She found a man to give her the one thing she demanded of him. But she will always be the one woman he truly loved, the woman he put off one too many times when she asked for marriage, the woman who haunts his dreams at night. Robert always wondered what would have happened if he had turned his car around that day and gave in to what Alexia was demanding of him. But he wanted to give her everything and to do so his first book had to be sold. The waiting for the right time cost him the one woman he loved the most.

In a coffeehouse in the same town where Alexia lives, Robert signs his latest novel, always wondering if she would walk through that door. So when she shows up in line with one of his books, he is beyond surprised especially after he finds out she is divorced. Kissing her was even better than it had been fifteen years ago and the passion they both feel for each other surfacing as if they were never separated. But passion and sex are not things they can build a relationship on and they both have their own lives in different cities. Will Alexia and Robert pass up on this second chance at love?

A story that touches your soul and makes you think, Another Chance is a romantic story about lost love finding each other again. What makes you sad will make you happy as you see Robert and Alexia meet and love again. I actually paused after reading this story and thought of loves in my own past that I had and wondered what they were doing and if they were happy. It definitely made me wonder what would have happened if my true love and I had never married and oh so very glad that we did. Marianne LaCroix packs in plenty of romance, heartache and passion to make this a must read story for any reader.
