Second time lucky

Published 1990187 pagesISBN 978-0-3730-8718-1

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS... When had Miles Crane become so sexy? This couldn't be the same somber older brother of the boy who'd broken Lara MacEuan's teenage heart! Surely she would have noticed Miles's magnificent muscles and mesmerizing gray eyes years ago .... But now that she'd found the right man, he was wooing her for all the wrong reasons! Lara knew that Miles's avid attention was an act to please his ailing aunt--her godmother. But the elderly woman did seem to glow with health after hearing of each romantic rendezvous. Lara couldn't deny her godmother a rapid road to recovery, but Miles's pretense of passion had her longing for the real thing. Though once burned, Lara was through with being twice-shy. She had her heart set on being second time lucky!

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Nonfiction. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

A more thoughtful way into this book

This guide uses the edition details and category signals above to help you choose deliberately. It does not replace the author's work or a full review.

Good to know

Works well for a focused weekend or a few concentrated sittings.

Begin with its place in Nonfiction, then notice where the book resists that label.

Try this reading approach

Read for connection, not completion.

Mark one passage that sharpens the book's central concern and one that complicates it. That tension often reveals more than a quick summary.

Three questions to carry with you

  1. Whose perspective organizes the story, and whose perspective remains outside it?
  2. Which sources or lived experiences carry the author’s central argument?
  3. How does the book change the way you understand its larger subject?
