Second wind: a new strength or energy to continue something
that is an effort. After an amicable divorce, Lincoln Huxley is ready to
embrace the sexuality he repressed for more than two decades. Rush Holden is no
longer willing to settle for closeted men or those who don’t share his dreams
of marriage and fatherhood. A chance encounter on a lakeside pier is the second
wind they both need. Or will it just be a painful reminder of all they had
lost?
Second chance: an opportunity to try something again that failed
one time. Rush and Lincoln have shared a lot of firsts—friendship, young love,
and heartbreak. Cruel reality forced the two men to choose paths that took
their lives in different directions. Twenty-six years later, they get a second
chance to fall in love with each all over again. Can it really be that simple,
or will the same issues ruin their happiness a second time?
Happily ever after: to live happily for the rest of one’s
life. Rush and Lincoln know that love and life can’t be defined by words alone.
Patience, commitment, and the determination to do whatever it takes will be the
only way the two men achieve their happily ever after.
Second Wind is a funny, sexy, and endearing standalone
romance novel about love, loss, and rediscovery. It contains sexually explicit
material and is intended for adults 18 and older.
REVIEW
5 Stars
I'm beyond in love with this story. I devoured this book in one sitting. I couldn't pull myself away from this story. Aimee Nicole Walker has truly outdid herself with Lincoln and Rush's journey. I've read all of Aimee's books and I love them all but this one right here is my most favorite from this author to date and I think her best book yet.
The emotion alone in this book will keep you mesmerized and captivated by these amazing characters. But it's the words and the show of love and support throughout this book that really touched my heart.
I loved that these are older men and not the norm early twenties or so. These are two men in there forties who thought they had their lives and careers all figured out. We get to see into their past, present and future. The author takes us on an epic journey of rediscovery, unforgettable first loves, second chances and an overall beautiful and heartfelt love story.
I loved everything about this book. I'm truly blown away and highly recommend it.

EXCERPT
I suddenly felt an invisible pull to go to the pier and ride the
damn thing. No, Rush wouldn’t be with me in person, but the memory of him would
be. I walked the short distance and bought tickets for the Centennial Wheel.
The pier was packed with families and friends just looking to have a good time
and enjoy the beautiful June weather before the serious humidity hit later in
the month.
I felt a little silly as I approached the long line by myself, but
I passed the time by texting Phee and checking my email. The line had suddenly
stopped advancing, and I wondered if the ride broke down or something. Then I
heard the chatter about newlyweds posing for photos with the grand Ferris wheel
in the background.
“Look how handsome the grooms look,” someone said.
“It so good that people don’t have to hide any longer,” another
person added.
I stepped out of line to see for myself, and my heart thudded to a
stop in my chest before it raced with recognition. It wasn’t the grooms that
held me spellbound; it was the photographer. I’d know that stance anywhere
because I sure as hell had seen it enough times growing up. The camera he held
in his hand was a lot different and more expensive than the ones he used to
own, but the way he stood and cradled it like a rare treasure was all the same.
Rush! But how was this possible? My
mind had to be playing tricks on me. This moment was nothing but a fantasy
brought on by all the trips down memory lane I’d made the past twenty-four
hours. I would wake up to find that I fell asleep in the hotel room instead of
walking to the pier.
There was no way in hell that Rush, my Rush, was a few hundred feet away from me. It had to be someone
who resembled him. The photographer turned around and smiled at something his
assistant said to him. I started walking toward him without stopping to think
if I should. For the first time in more than twenty-six years, my world felt
right. My Rush.
It felt like I’d caught my second wind.
About the Author
I am a wife and mother to three kids, three dogs, and a cat. When I’m not dreaming up stories, I like to lose myself in a good book, cook or bake. I’m a girly tomboy who paints her fingernails while watching sports and yelling at the referees. I will always choose the book over the movie. I believe in happily-ever- after. Love inspires everything that I do. Music keeps me sane.
