Second to None (Coastal Chronicles Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 282 ratings

A stand alone second chance grumpy sunshine romance about Josie & Maddox by USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...

Maddox Nelson is the only boy I’ve ever loved.

And the only one to break my heart.

I thought I was over that long ago. After drowning the heartbreak in two failed marriages, I should want safe and easy, and Maddox is nothing but complicated.

Now that I’m back home in Savannah, I can’t deny the pull toward him. He’s the grumpy to my sunshine, the introvert to my extrovert, the uncompromising to my go with the flow. But years of friendship, love, and tangled lust binds us together in the city where it all began.

When heat flies between us, he makes it clear that we already had our chance. Both of us should move on.

Except I’m no longer okay with that idea.

I’ll prove to him that I come second to none.

BOOKWORM REVIEW: Second to None by K.A. Linde
4 out of 5 stars
BOOKWORM REVIEW: Second to None by K.A. Linde
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥Teenage crush. Best friend's brother. Co-worker.Maddox Nelson was all of these and more to Josephine "Josie" Reynolds. Most importantly, he was her first and only love. No matter what she did to try and forget him -- including getting married and divorced twice to other folks -- he seemed to be embedded in her every being.Now she has come back to her hometown of Savannah to film a movie, and her life just got even more complicated when Maddox joined the production.Maddox and Josie's relationship has a robust history full of longing, disappointments, complications, and love. It spans a long time, which K.A. Linde beautifully conveys through flashbacks. Through this, Linde also weaves solid character development for each main character as they tackle their own insecurities about themselves and as a couple.There is a lot of angst, but it is balanced nicely with spice and romance. There is no lack of chemistry between Josie and Maddox for sure.This can be read as a standalone, but there are references to other books in this universe. Because each relationship has its own set of complications, figuring out who's who as a newbie to this world can be overwhelming.The story also touches on the characters for the next installment, Ash and Amelia. Ash's mercurial personality is definitely intriguing, and I cannot wait to read their story.

    First of all, you have to know that I am a fan of K.A. Linde and that being said I live in North Carolina and so a lot of this has personal appeal to me. I was raised in New York, don't get me wrong, but I have become a Carolinian because of being here so long. I even had a niece who went to NC she is a Tar Hill and so I come to Marley and Maddox the twins who grew up in Savannah and where the majority of this story takes place. I always remembered that I have a lot of time I have to allot when I start reading a K.A. Linde story because then I have to go back and see what I didn't read. K.A. Linde definitely did Maddox and Josie justice. This story is part of the Costal Chronicles, which involves Savannah GA and Atlanta GA with North Carolina thrown in. I felt that this is the way it should have been for these two young people all along. Josie the artist, actor, want to be director has always been a free spirit, whereas Maddox was raised by his grandparents and was limited in the things that he was allowed to do. We got Marley Nelson and Derek Ballantine and Lila and Cole. This story is of Marley's twin brother Maddox Nelson who has become and well renowned animator who began his career with Pixar and now owns his own company. I loved the contrast between Maddox and Josie which made them a good match because as they say opposites attract. This story goes back to the time when Maddox and Josie both went to the same college, which meant they stayed in Savannah because that was where the best college for artists was, the College of Arts and Design. Maddox became excellent as an animator, even won Grammys.
    Josephine Reynolds spent summers in Savannah and that is how her and Marley and Lila became a trio of best friends. Josie aka Josephine spent more time at Marley and Maddox's home with them and their grandparents than she did at home with her mother the socialite. This was the story told in the past years from 2005 to the present where she is doing her final movie of her series called Academy where she played Cassie. To her surprise Maddox is doing the animation on the film, he sets the design for the scenes. Anyways this the story of how Maddox and Josie finally realize that they are better together than apart and the crazy things that they went through to get to where they are today. I love that the author gives both perspectives of the characters and builds up to where they are at the present time. I love this story and definitely wanted to read about more these young characters. It was like the cruel series you wanted for more. I would highly recommend this book and all of the books that make up the Costal Chronicles. This was definitely a good read.

    This was a really quick and easy read. I was a little confused with the side characters, and then I discovered there were 2 previous books. lol I recommend reading them in order, unlike me. But overall, a nice 4 star read!

    Omg... This story was absolutely amazing, everyone growing up together throughout their lives and finally realized that their lives all made sense! I enjoyed reading this author book, did a outstanding job in writing it. Unable to exactly tell you about the story itself, it would ruin for all of you readers. It could be part of the series or just read it as a standalone. ENJOY

    This is such an amazing story. When you find out things about your mothers life that you were unaware of, realizing your feelings were so unfounded, yet warranted at the time. Your own relationship growing up with a young man, was so tainted by emotions, being his sisters best friend, and being two opposites, yet as years go by you make so many wrong choices. Costing you both, the heart can only take so much loss. Beautifully written, loved it.❤️

    Second to None, the third book in the Coastal Chronicles series by K.A Linde delivers a complex but endearing second chance romance, which will likely frustrate you while giving you hope and leave you believing in the power of love to conquer all.

    Second to None tells the story of Jolie and Maddox, a couple made for each other, but insecurities and egos threatened to destroy it all. Every time they enter each other’s orbit their attempts at maintaining a relationship ends on a messy note. Their head tells them to stay away from each other, but their hearts play a different tune. They try moving on but their hearts remain tied to each other. Can their love survive another chance or will it crash and burn this final time?

    Oh Man! Jodie and Maddox relationship is designed to give readers whiplash. For a brief moment, I wondered if it would be best if they went their separate ways. At one point they are together, the next they both say and do stupid things and then it’s over. Despite the hurt resulting from the break up, each time they come in contact with each other the pain and heartbreak melts away for a brief moment and they can’t get enough of each other. The strength of their love prevented any hopes of moving on. Now they have another chance to make it work.

    The story moved between the past and the present. It gave readers a view of the mistakes made in the past and the measures taken to correct them in the present. Josie and Maddox were the complete opposites and Maddox believed despite their love for each other finding a common ground would be impossible. Little did he realise how much they had in common. The growth Jolie and Maddox demonstrated throughout the story gave me hope. It took them awhile to get it right, but when they did it was so worth the experience.

    I loved both characters, although a few times Josie’s actions angered me. Her childhood experiences aided her poor choices. Always running scared when things became to tough to handle, and too immature to acknowledge the truth staring her in the face. Despite their many mistakes they were my favourite couple of the series. Their relationship didn’t possess the high level of angst that couples from the previous book possessed.

    The emotions which flowed throughout the story pulls on the reader’s heartstrings. I loved the fact that josie got the chance to heal the relationship with her mother. The revelations with respect to their relationship was eye opening and left the reader wondering about a particular incident in the life of Josie’s mom. Josie and Maddox wasn’t the only the couple to get a second chance. It would be awesome if that story could be further developed.

    To conclude, Second to None delivered a tale of hope, love, healing and second chances. Maddox and Josie is one of those couples you will want to cheer on.

    I have read these books for a minute. Each is tangled with the last, but only slightly. They each slide into the next.

    This one however was different than the first two. When you read it you will understand. This is the best so far. I am glad I waited until now to read this series because I don't have to wait for Ash and Amelia's book.

    Great job on the ending of this one. Chef's kiss.
