Claire Cross once again brings us another Coxwell to fall in love with. In the third book readers are introduced to Matt Coxwell. Just like his brother James, he followed his father’s bidding and graduated from law school. Becoming a lawyer wasn’t really his dream, but his wife Leslie was. Now, however, he is feeling the burden of not being in touch with her and feels she doesn’t understand him or his convictions.

Leslie Coxwell is in shock that Matt has left her. To add to the pain of it all, he has gone to New Orleans, the city that hosts his once beloved ex-girlfriend. Nevertheless, Matt is not her only problem; she is also facing a boss that has it in for her, especially since she doesn’t agree with his dictates. With her heart and job on the line, Leslie does the one thing she knows will help her make it, she pulls out her best lingerie from her enormous collection.

While all three Coxwell stories have been captivating, One More Time is definitely the best. Readers will love delving into the story of Leslie and Matt. They will become real in readers’ hearts because their marriage suffers what so many marriages have split up over, no communication. It is fairly easy to relate to both characters and their mistakes. This story is a delightful romance with heartwarming love, unachieved dreams, and plenty of humorous moments. Ms. Cross has unquestionably written another novel for readers to place up on the keeper shelf! With three delightful books in the series, one cannot wait for the release of the fourth book in this series, All or Nothing.
