Second Dance: An Encore Novella (Loring-Abbott Series) Paperback – November 10, 2015

I enjoyed the book and think it was rather nice to have part of the story in Italy. It was lovely to end with the whole family together but very sad about Sarah. Overall an entertaining read.

This sweet little novella would have a hard time standing on its own because it refers to so many various characters from all five books. But it's a lovely story and ties the entire package with a shiny bow. Nicely done!

This book is the encore novella for this series, and it is all about second chances. It is a short but beautiful read. This novella is a gloriously beautiful and satisfying ending to a wonderful series that is sure to make you smile and feel good. It is well-written (as are all of the books in this series), hopeful and heartwarming.If you are a fan of this series then this encore novella is a must read, because this novella is a wonderful finishing story. I am looking forward to reading much more from this very talented author.

Delightful clean love story for those who may think love is only for the young. Young hearts are not just for young people.

A wonderful story by Elizabeth Johns , about my favorite character in the series The dowager Duchess of Loring , who once put her family's happiness before her own . This is a beautifully written short story. It is about a second chance if only The Duchess makes the right choice this time.

Perfect for when you just don't want a series to end. But could possibly make the series drag on if the sequels keep coming.

What a perfect ending to the Loring-Abbot series. I have loved all four books in this series and was excited to see that the Henrietta, the Dowager Duchess finally get her chance at a happy ending.I loved Henrietta and her meddling ways. All her grandchildren needed a push in the marriage direction and she was the one to do the shoving, however now that they are all married she doesn't know what to do with herself.As she is on a trip with her grandson and new wife to Italy she meets the Luca, a man she fell in love with 3 decades earlier, but gave up in order to be there for her children. Luca is still in love with her but Henrietta is afraid to make the leap.Will she finally choose herself and freely love the man she lost decades ago or will she let fear guide her choice again.

This book is about Henrietta, the Dowager Duchess of Loring and Luca, the Compt delightful Salerno. They had been engaged years earlier, but Henrietta felt her family needed her more at that time. When she is traveling with Andrew and Gwen on their honeymoon to Italy, she meets Luca again. This is a wonderful love story and a fitting end to this series. I highly recommend it.

This was a nice little story to fill an afternoon read
