Second Chance Reviews:

“This book was amazing and kept you completely engaged. The relationship challenges theme was expertly delivered. I enjoy reading romance novels about African American relationships, that are realistic and have great outcomes. This is up there with fantastic authors like Brenda Jackson and Derrick Jaxn. I'm really looking forward to book # 2, well done Missy Stephens!!!!

“I finished this book faster than I have any book...It was a definite Page Turner so much so I couldn't wait to read Love's Desire...It has Great message and its relatable plus I'm from Philly and felt good to recognize some of the landmarks ...I CANT WAIT FOR NIA LONG TO BE MONIQUE AND SHEMAR MOORE TO BE ANTHONY STARRING IN A THIS BOOK AS A MOVIE...GOD BLESS AND KEEP ON WRITING I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN #TEAMMISSYSTEPHENS

“I loved this book. It's been awhile since I've read a book where I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. I could not put it down. Also, I loved the fact that the characters' stories were realistic, not happen over a 2 week period (as most love stories) and the backdrop was in and around the Philadelphia area. She gave me just enough of a sneak peak of the 2nd book "Love's Desire" where I had to buy it and I'm reading that now. Definitely worth a read.”

“Okay, so Missy Stephens has embodied such a realistic and fun view on Second Chances at love. This was such a page turner, the book just made you want to read and read because every character was so interesting it was like reading about your own life. This book is fun, relateable and such an entertaining read. I really loved it. Can't wait for the next one.”

“This is a good read and a great page turner; I could relate to each and every character. Everyone deserves "A Second Chance", literally. Looking forward to reading the whole series. Next up, Love's Desire.”

“Great read. A lot if realism. Author represents hometown well.”

Love’s Desire Reviews:

“Love's Desire is part of a three-book series - this is part 2. I absolutely loved it! The story line was incredible and the characters were very relatable. You will not be able to put it down until you get to the very last page. It's an easy read, and will leave you wanting more”

“This was such a good book. It was like a movie and just when you thought you knew what would happen next, there were surprises around every corner. I can't wait for part 3!”

“Whew! This book really kept me on the edge of my seat! The story line was magnificent! I really felt as if I were there. I pictured it as being a short film. I give this series two thumbs up!”

“Great read. Loved the characters, they seemed so real and the story hit home.”
