ARC Review – The Back-Up Plan (Second Chances #4) by Mari Carr

This is a series that keeps you on your toes emotionally! I was drawn in from page one of book one, and I have not been let go yet. ~ KcLu, Guilty Pleasures

Description:
Just how legally binding is a promise made on a cocktail napkin?

Kristen Grey has always been married to her work, but as her fortieth birthday looms, she begins to wonder if that’s all there is to life. When her friend Zoey suggests she come up with a goal for a second chance at happiness, the first idea to pop into Kristen’s mind falls out of her mouth—to find a husband.

One night, after a few too many shots of vodka, it falls out of her mouth again, in front of the last man she wants to hear it. Her annoying, cocky law partner, Jason Mitchell. She’s shocked when he vows to help in her quest to find a man.

After all, he has a vested interest in her success. Years ago, they foolishly made a pact that if they hadn’t found “the one” by age forty, they’d marry each other. Time is running out.

Problem is, as Jason and Kristen try to help each other find love, it becomes more and more apparent that maybe the back-up plan isn’t such a bad option after all.

Warning: The heroine in this story has no objection to how her law partner likes to recess. Legal eagle? Nope. Spread eagle.

Review copy provided for an honest review

The Back-Up Plan by Mari Carr is book four in the Second Chances series. This is a series that keeps you on your toes emotionally! I was drawn in from page one of book one, and I have not been let go yet. In true Mari Carr fashion each of the stories are unique, but they have a similar tone. This book is amazingly great! These two truly are blind to what is right in front of their eyes. Sometimes your back-up plan is the route you should have been on along.

Kristen isn’t like her girlfriends. She is pretty much married to her life, and she certainly doesn’t believe in the myths of love and passion. But she is lonely. So her goal for this year is to find someone to spend the rest of her life with someone that she can have a good time with so she doesn’t have to go through this life alone. One night after way too many shots of vodka, she and her law partner Jason make a deal to be each other’s back-up plan. If they don’t find a forever person by the age of 40, they will marry each other. That clock is ticking fast in her ear!! So when she makes the resolution to get married this year, she has almost a year left on that back-up plan agreement.

Jason and Kristen make it their goal to help the other find love, but as they keep setting each other up they can’t help but look at each other in a new light. This back-up plan is looking more and more like it should be the plan, but can they see it before they end up in different relationships?

I absolutely loved the chemistry between these two!! They have that bickering banter that I love in a couple. Sometimes it is just as fun to bicker with someone as it is to be all about passion. In my eyes that can make the passion hotter, and it certainly works for them! They just about melt the screen of you e-reader!!! I can’t recommend this book and series enough!! Don’t miss out on them!!!!!!! 🙂
