A second chance romance is a story that brings exes back together, giving them another shot at a love once lost. This theme is central in Sloth, the seventh book in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series. In life and in Sloth, one of the key elements of second chances in love is forgiveness. For the main characters, unresolved feelings and past mistakes make forgiveness crucial to their second chance. Their love is one neither has been able to let go of, leaving a void in their hearts that has persisted through their twenties and most of their thirties. Despite living seemingly decent lives, no matter how many people they date, their hearts have always wanted each other.
Second chance romances are often either loved or hated. For some, these stories showcase the durability of a love that is truly meant to be. As the saying goes, if it’s real and you let it go, it should come back to you better than ever. Forgiveness for past actions is essential in making a second chance work—no one wants to make the same mistake twice. But the challenge lies in both parties being vulnerable enough to try again, which can be difficult if forgiveness isn’t on the table. In Sloth, forgiveness allows Eryn and Simeon to heal and move forward, making it a crucial part of rekindling their love. This isn’t a quick or easy journey; it’s a marathon, not a race.
Eryn and Simeon started dating as teenagers, and though much of their relationship was long-distance, it deepened when they started college together. Like many of us when we’re young, decisions were made that turned their once-perfect relationship into one that eventually fell apart. Time passed, but neither of them stopped thinking about each other. A scandal brings them back together, forcing them to work closely in ways that go beyond the demands of the scandal. Their story is touching and inspiring because it becomes clear that these two should have never parted—but perhaps the separation was necessary for many reasons… which you’ll discover in Sloth.
Sloth is the final chapter in the Love is Cure, Vol. 1 – Vices & Virtues series. It’s a standalone, so if you haven’t read the other stories in the series, you can start with it and work your way back. I do recommend reading Gluttony since that’s the story of Eryn’s brother, where both Eryn and Simeon make appearances.
Sloth is available now for pre-order and is set for release on Thursday, September 19th!
