Second Chance Boyfriend (Drew + Fable, #2) - Monica Murphy

Second Chance Boyfriend by Monica Murphy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm so glad I had this one right after I finished OWG. I was on a high of Drew + Fable and I just wanted them to end up together. They worked so hard and definitely deserved happiness. I can't get over how much I loved Fable. She was such a strong h. I knew her mother was a sorry SOB...I hope we find out more about why she abandoned her kids in the next book. Thank you Monica for continuing D+F story! I am truly intrigued with Jen and Colin. I hope they have their own series too...and I just looked it up!! YAY!!!!! The next book due out December 2013!!! *High school girl squeals!!!* There is so much mystery behind them as well.

Fable really surprised me...I pegged her as the clingy type since she didn't get any affection at home..no father figure or mother figure around to look up to. She stood her ground and confronted problems - honest and blunt. Always saying what was on her mind. She didn't put up with Drew's shit, but also was very compassionate and patient when he needed her the most. She broke my heart a few times because all she ever wanted to be was loved, but she wasn't going to sit around and be someone's puppet they can master. She was speaking to Drew when saying this: "Typical. I feel like a doll. Like a stupid, pretty doll no one cares about, forgotten on a shelf. Every once in a while, you or whoever else wants to take me down from the shelf and play with me for a bit. Just enough to get my hopes up and make me believe someone really cares about me. Then I'm forgotten again. Like I don't even exist...My mom was dead on when she named me Fable, wasn't she? I don't feel real to anyone." I think I shed a few tears reading that.
Drew was a closet romantic. He kept coming up with poems that made your heart melt.
"For a passion that's
Able to shine like ours
Blessed are we to
Love
Each other"

The shrink was so good for Drew. She said a few wise things: "Loving someone is taking a constant risk with your emotions. When you find the right person, the one you know you want to be with, that person becomes worth the risk."

A light bulb goes off and Drew tells Fable: "I've always run away in the past. But you, Fable. You make me want to stay." <~~ Such a sweet sweet boy!

One thing I REALLY loved about this story was the quotes in each chapter. "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever." - Winnie the Pooh

OR

"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space." - Marilyn Monroe

(view spoiler)[One last quote by Drew:
"You keep me sane," I whisper. "You make my life worth living. Because of you, I'm a better man. And with you by my side as my wife, we can take on the entire world, baby. Just you and me." (hide spoiler)]

Definitely go and buy this book! SO WORTH IT!!
