Second Time Around ~ Melody Carlson

 This book is a Christian Contemporary Read.   Mallory is going to Portside, Oregon to take care of her grandmother's shop that she inherits.  When she gets there and sees that the place is run down and needs work, she is not sure what she should do.  Grayson, a childhood friend offers to buy the place and take it off her hands.  Mallory thinks about it, however she learns his plan is to buy it, tear it down and make it an outdoor mall.  Mallory is heartbroken and will not let her childhood memories be torn down.  She decides to live in the upstairs of the shop and restore it all.  Then when she learns that the person she hired to help her is no help at all.  Can she save the shop and her memories?  Will Grayson and her be able to stay friends or more?  What does the future hold for them and the town of Portside?

I love this book and would recommend it to all Melody fans and anyone that love a good Hallmark movie.  This book will keep you interested from page one until the end.  I really didn't want to see it end. Loved the storyline, the characters and the town setting.  But then again, I love this author, when you read Melody Carlson books you are never disappointed.  Great light romance read!!!
