The Second Time Around Kindle Edition

By the way, did you know you're pregnant?

Eight tiny words, but strung together in one sentence…they are destined to destroy life as Laurel Mitchell knows it. For after twenty-five years of wedlock and three grown children, starting over with the diaper-and-formula scene is…inconceivable.

Apparently not. Now her sweetly snoozing marriage is frantically adjusting to a most unexpected wake-up call.

And to the new man in her life—her husband, Jason. Recently devoted to working long hours and planning the perfect road trip, he's suddenly become impossibly sexy, affectionate and overprotective.

And between the tears (hers) and the terror (his) they're waiting for a bundle of joy in pink (yes, pink!) that's already proving life's most unexpected gifts are the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and very enjoyable.

It's a really nice story. I think the various reactions are realistic. I like that her husband's main objection is that he is concerned for his wife's health. It seems to help him focus more on his wife and new baby than the road trip and retirement he has been planning. He's more resistant to the changes in their family and finds himself with a slightly shifted paradigm.

Loved this book! It had romance and humor and was just what I was looking for. A fun read especially for those of us who aren't in our 20's anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars deep look atan unexpected life changing event
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2006
Forty-five years old realtor Laurel Mitchell feels she is fortunate as her spouse of twenty-five years Jason loves her and her him. Their three sons are doing quite well and so are they as evidenced by Jason's hobby collecting toy trains.

Everything suddenly changes when her gynecologist Dr. Kilpatrick during Laurel's annual checkup informs her that she is pregnant. Her husband does not want to raise another child who will turn into teen as they turn sixty. Their youngest offspring is embarrassed by the announcement. Her sister is envious as she will never have a child to raise, as her husband dumped her with no offspring. The extended Mitchell family has been hit for a loop as blue is out and pink is in.

Laurel shows how this deep look of an unexpected life changing event, even a supposedly rejoicing one, impacts this extended family. The spouse, the sister, the three sons and a potential fiancée to one of them are stunned to say the least as none can quite accept a forty-five years old woman, not trying to become pregnant, carrying. This late in life pregnancy makes for a fabulous family drama though it is actually the fourth time around for Laurel; albeit a two decade gap between three and four.
