Hendrix: A Second Chance Romance Kindle Edition
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 20205 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022I'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.

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”.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2023I 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 ⭐️
1/5 🌶
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2022I 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2022Football 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023This 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2022I'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.

3.0 out of 5 stars The book was not what I had expected
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it
I have enjoyed the various books within the Haven Grace world but Colby is a standout character and I am SO glad his story got told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just perfect!
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!
- Mimi ReadsReviewed in Australia on August 24, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Hendrix was everything!
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!
