Hendrix: A Second Chance Romance Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,568 ratings

I'm Colby Hendrix.

Football Legend.

Notorious Playboy.

Sarcasm Extraordinaire.


I had everything you could ever want.

The career some would die for.

The friends that always have my back.

And an unmatched level of charm.


I never planned on settling down.

There wasn't ever a reason to.

Or atleast that's what I thought,

Until she came barreling back into my life.


With long brown hair and hazel eyes,

She has the ability to disarm me with a single look.

And the little girl attached to her side?

She's the shock I never knew I wanted.


The biggest mistake of my life.

The only woman I've ever loved.

If she were to say the words,

I might just give up everything for her.

OH YEAH! Colby gets 5 stars!
5 out of 5 stars
OH YEAH! Colby gets 5 stars!
Wow 😱 I confess , there is no book I have waited for as much as this book! And I was so excited by all the writer's plans to release this book specifically on her birthday to surprise her readers. And she hid it from us 🙄not fair! Absolutely not fair! But, the most fun is knowing that this book will come to us at the end and OMG, screams of happiness!Kelsey always said she would release a book about Colby. But did not say when... 🤷🏽‍♂️ and I waited so patiently (chatted a lot in private, and in her group wherever possible!!!) until this book was published. To summarize this book. Wow I'm badly in love. It's also the book that got me out of a reading barrier (of course, the last book was hers. Because of that I had a reading barrier) and there is no better feeling than a book written so well and addictively and you finish it so fast you just want to go cry on the side. 😭Colby's story was a surprise to me. At the start, I did not think at all that his story would be a 'second chance' and I was scared. Because Colby was not described in previous books as 'sensitive' or 'a man who knows how to express emotions'. And I like things like that the characters in the book are round. Not flat. That they develop from chapter to chapter. And the amazing Saige just captivated my heart. She did start out as someone to be pitied. But she is really not! In this book I really felt the connection to the characters and between them. Like, they went hand in hand and told me their story. 💥🏈 "𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆. 𝑨 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅. 𝑨 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕. 𝑨 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒕. 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅, 𝒊𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍." 🏈Colby, is a really famous football player.Won lots of awards. One of them is the award of the "hottest men", twice in a row. Football is his life. His best friend is Asher (The Rebel).He drinks a lot of alcohol, sleep with girls. Live your bachelor life in the 'best way there is' like any average man. 😝 But, when he sees an interview on TV he recognizes the interviewee. His love Saige. Which he had to leave because of a reason that changed his life. 🤐Saige is engaged to a very popular actor at the time. She lives the simple life. Engaged in designing and organizing events. She is not looking for fame and fortune. She just needs the happiness. And her happiness is her girl.💘 "𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔. 𝑻𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖." 💘The story here was so well written that I could not stop reading the book. Yes, I knew how the story was going to end but I loved it so much! That's just... wow the characters stayed in my heart. This is not another story of 'revenge' or 'repentance' it is another story. It is a story that reveals other aspects of the person. That the ego not always come first. The characters fascinated me so much. And Kelsey's writing is so excellent that it's very important to the story. Because her method is to convey to her readers in the best way what she felt. And what she felt with Colby's character. She was also able to pass it on to me.💥 "𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒙𝒚𝒈𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆. 𝑰𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒎𝒆." 💥But, the story does not end here. ups and downs. Intrigue and conspiracies. And one love. That's all it takes. I'm starting to appreciate and learn that it's really always worth to give people a second chance. 🙏🏽🖤In conclusion, I am very simply 🤷🏽‍♂️ In love 😍 I have no other virtue. In the writing, in the characters and in the plot. Wow I enjoyed it so much, and the best thing is to share this with you. Kelsey, you're amazing. And with your personality It is so fun to talk to you about the characters. A mesmerizing plot that just needs a glass of beer in hand and a book about football players to enjoy. That's all it takes to enjoy from this book! 💘

    5 Stars because I can’t stop smiling! This book gave me ALL THE FEELS and a few happy tears! So much emotion bled from the pages. I LOVED THIS COUPLE and their journey.

    Our favorite playboy Colby is about to be taken to his knees. He let her get away once, but this time he’ll do anything for a second chance.

    Saige was the only girl that has ever had his heart. They met in college and fell in love. And when he got drafted to the NFL, he let her go. He thought he needed to concentrate on his career. He had no idea what he was leaving behind.

    It’s been almost six years, when he sees Saige on tv, he finds out he may have walked away from more than just the girl who had his heart.

    This is a story that I wanted to be told and I am so happy the author surprised us with it. BEST. GIFT. EVER!!!

    This second chance romance is totally swoon worthy. The hero will bring the alpha and the sweet and your heart won’t stand a chance.

    I'm not sure why I decided to pick up this book other than the fact that it has been forever since my last Kelsey Clayton book and when I read the blurb I was hooked.

    As a huge fan of second chance this book was everything I wanted it to be. We have funny banter, sexy and swoony moments. I loved that they did not fall into each other's arms right away. The transition from not seeing each other for years to confessing their feelings was perfect. I'm definitely look up more of KC's books because I've been away for waaay to long.

    Tropes: Football Romance, Single Parent, Secret Baby, & Second Chance.
    Rating: 3⭐️’s for storyline/plot and 1🌶️ for spice!

    This is my first book by this author and I honestly bought it on a whim from Amazon for like $10. It was short and sweet and good, just not as good as some of the other books I’ve read this year. And, there was one thing that made me mad, early in the book the author mentions the MCM’s father getting sicker, but the author never mentioned him or his condition ever again😅

    Here are some of my favorite quotes:
    1. Page 135: “I press a kiss on the top of her head, almost afraid to let myself wonder how he managed to break one of the strongest women I know”.
    2. Page 142: “He loves me. Someone who loves you wouldn’t do this. Take it from someone who knows what it’s like to love you”.

    I finished this story with a little laugh. It was just so cute.

    Colby and Saige were a great pair. But Brenna, their daughter, really stole the show. That girl is adorable and so funny.

    All the side characters were great too which definitely helps a story.

    This is not a spicy read. There is one love scene but it’s not terribly explicit.

    4.5/5 ⭐️

    I started this book around 8pm last night, and I didnt go to bed until I finished. KC pulled me in and I just couldn’t stop myself from turning the pages.

    There is so freaking much going on in this story. It’s a slow burn and you won’t get any sexy stuff until the end. But that is not why you should read this story. It is intense and a lot angsty. I don’t think the characters ever really resolve the past enough (at least for me). But they are able to move on and find love for each other again. I do not begrudge Saige for the choices she made to guard her heart and keep her daughter safe and happy. In her position I probably would have done the same.

    Football player Colby Hendrix was happily being single and playing professional football but finding out his ex-girlfriend Saige Ambrose has a five year-old daughter Brenna that she never told him about. The only problems is that Saige is engaged and living with actor Topher James nad he changed his number when he was drafted to play professional football.

    Good sports romance with a secret baby because Colby steps up to be the father that Brenna needs and protecting Saige and Brenna.

    This is a one night read! I started it and finished it several hours later, I could NOT put it down! Sweet Saige, alpha male Colby and precious Brenna! It was amazing to see this family come together! The only feedback is that Brenna, for a 5 year old, is described as a kid that’s older. I have a 6 year old and she wouldn’t know most of the stuff Brenna says! But I still adore her!

    I've been wanting Colby's story, but this was a bit of a letdown.

    It missed the mark for me. It didn't gel enough, the chemistry was disappointing. There was a ton of potential, but it just didn't feel rounded and complete. The full development was missing and I really dislike weak heroines. Saige was not strong, given what she allowed to happen to her with her daughter in the home.

    I still couldn't stop reading it, but the storyline was just not well executed, and also his relationship with Lennon doesn't hit right, regardless of them just being friends. He had more chemistry with Lennon in one shared look than he ever did with Saige throughout the whole book. After reading Lennon's story and his, I personally feel like Lennon was the one who got away -- that he's always wanted and been in love with Lennon, lost her to Cade, and settled for the baby mama. I feel bad for him.

    Reviewed in India on March 17, 2023
    Okay! So the book is wholesome but my biggest problem is that the female lead is portrayed to be too gullible. Also a bit more grovelling was required from Colby (male lead). What he did was wrong and should not have been brushed off as a mere mistake he made when he was young and surrounded by dreams.

    Oh Colby, Colby, Colby.. what. a. man 😭😭😭 I loved this book so much!! It was a side book to the series I’ve just read and I just adored it. Colby was one of my absolute favourite characters of the series so him having his own book was amazing 🙌🏼 he’s just so likeable and funny. I loved how he handled the curve ball he was thrown in this book and how mature he was. I loved Saige as a character too, she was so strong and only wanted the best for her daughter. Speaking of, Colby and Brenna together made my ovaries hurt 🥺 loved this book so much! Lovely little ending to this series!

    Reviewed in Australia on August 24, 2020
    I can’t even come up with the words. Hendrix was everything! Of all the books I have read by Kelsey Clayton this would hands down be my favourite.

    I fell absolutely head over heels in love with Colby, Saige and Brenna. There were so many ups and downs along the way to happiness for this gorgeous little family, but I was grinning from ear to ear when they finally got their happily ever after.

    This is one of those books that you will want to sit down and read from start to finish in one go - I barely put it down until the end!
