Can Mary and William’s love bridge the gap between the aristocracy and a commoner?

Mary Durand grew up deprived, and treated as less than a servant in the home of her aunt and uncle. Abused and mistreated, she never dreamed of anything more, she never believed there could be more for her, but after years of torment, she could no longer take the abuse and decided to escape. Three years later, she never dreamed that her life could transform. Her father’s invention has moved them from merchants to people of influence and affluence, and suddenly Mary has to maneuver in London high society. She never imagined that she would encounter a face from the past amidst the sea of socialites.

William Pierce, 8th Earl of Cott, did not think that his attempt to get away from his father’s overbearing presence could land him in the company of a former acquaintance. However, when faced with the transformed Mary Durand, the sympathy he had for her changes to admiration, and eventually more. It would be perfect, if life was simple, but it isn’t. His father will never condone such an alliance. Can Mary and William endure and win, or will he find himself ousted from his family like his sister Charlotte before him? Can love overcome the differences in birth and rank, or are some divides too far to cross?
Second Chance for Love is the second book in the series, Second Chance Regency Romance.

I have been waiting for this story. We meet Mary Durand in the first book, "Loving the Scarred Soldier". The first book is about Charlotte and James story. But a good part is about Mary after she is found in a ditch in the rain barely alive. She had been running away from her aunt and uncle. They had mistreated and beat her for the last nine years. Her father an inventor had left her with then thinking they would love and care for her till he could return from America. He had no idea how awful her life would be. Charlotte's brother, William Pierce the Eighth Earl Cott was the one who finds her and brings her home to Caldon House. With Charlotte's help they nurse her back to health. Their father the Duke of Compton is furious that his son has brought a nobody who could be a servant into their home. He wants her gone as soon as possible. William and Charlotte fight to keep her till her father can be found. William and her spend a lot of time talking and learning about the other while she heals. When her father is found they leave together.
Three years later at a ball in London, William sees a lovely young lady that seems familiar but can't place her. The ball is at his friends, St. John the Fourth Earl of Wycliff. William doesn't get out in society much as his father keeps him close and is very controlling. William may be thirty now but still is under his father thumb.
When he finds out it is his Mary as he thinks of her, he is delighted. Charlotte and him have wondered how her and her father have been. He is upset to see she is left all alone cause her father is in trade. As they both meet and spend a little time in London, they both feel the attraction again. Both know nothing can happen between them, his father would never permit it. Can they find what they both want? Will William every stand up to his father ? How much is he
willing to lose ? Will Mary ever get a break in life and be really happy ?
Oh, so many questions and you will need to get your copy to find out. This is a very unusual love story.
So many things can and do go wrong. Lots of twist and turns. This story has great characters and some nasty ones too.
A very special little boy helps too.
I hope you get both books in this series as the first book is great in its own right. But the second one is so much better if you read them in order.

I enjoyed this heartwarming Regency romance with engaging characters and a wonderful story that kept me totally immersed in all that was happening from start to finish. I loved the sweet and emotional second chance at love between Mary Durand and William Pierce, the Eighth Earl of Cott and heir to the Duchy of Mormont. If you enjoy well-written clean Regency romance, you will love "Second Chance for Love", book two in the must-read Second Chance Regency Romance series. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mary and William 💞

I was pretty excited to read sweet Mary’s story. I so enjoyed the interaction between she and William in the first book. Although, now I know he hadn’t felt for Mary with the same feelings as now!

This was a very nice read, although, like in Charlotte and James’ story, the Duke was just as horrid as ever. And William…bless his heart. He was torn between his love for Mary and for his father who couldn’t accept her.

However, William really irritated me at one point. Mary had just told him about her very abusive upbringing with the beatings and starvation. And how did our hero respond? “That must have been very lonely and sad”. Really, William?!

SWEET CLEAN Regency Romance💕
Ten Year old Mary's father , an inventor, goes off to seek his fortune in America. He leaves Mary🙎 in the care of her Aunt. The aunt turns out to be a very cruel person who is extremely controlling of her entire family. Mary🙎 is turned into a drudge, a maid, and the cook, too. Her father's six month trip turns into ten years!

Eventually Mary💃💔 runs away, and is found half dead from hypothermia by William🐺 , heir to a dukedom. She is nursed back to health and eventually her father returns.

ARC Provided by Booksprout 🌱
I also got this ebook with KU.

I was disappointed in some of this book because it jumps around in time, especially after William🐺 finds Mary💃 laying by the road after she runs away from her Aunt. The story jumps to three years later, when William🐺 sees her at a ton event. Her father had returned , a rich and successful inventor of the cannning process that will revolutionize the civilized 🌎world!
Maybe the book should have been a little longer to include some of the events that happened during the three years after Mary💃 ran away and when William🐺 saw her again at the ball. It's kind of a mystery of what happened during that three year time.
The book is actually quite short.
