Synopsis

One night, eight years ago, she gave me peace.
No names.
No promises.
Just two broken people, desperate to quiet their pain and grief.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania.

When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I’ll finally be rid of his farm,which is grown over and tangled with memories I’ve fought to forget.

And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen.

Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can’t bury the past, and they’re right. Because when long-ago secrets are exposed, rocking us both to the core, I have no choice but to watch her walk away again.

Review

4.5 stars

Oh, the swoon! The beautiful, emotional, utterly romantic swoon! Corinne Michaels starts off her new series with a second-chance love story with a twist, a tortured heroine, an adorable 7-year-old, and a tormented but loving hero to die for. I loved it!

 

 

Connor Arrowood is a retiring navy SEAL, returning from deployment and dragged back to the family farm in the small country town that holds nothing but bad memories. He and his four brothers endured hell at the hands of their father growing up. Connor is the youngest and escaped as soon as he could into the military, but he still bares the emotional scars of all that he endured. The shining light in his life is the incredible one night stand he shared with a stranger right before he deployed, and the memory of that night plays over and over in his mind both thrilling him and tormenting him that he’ll never have it again. So imagine his surprise when he is forced to return to his family’s farm following the death of his father to fix it up to sell, and he meets the woman living on the farm next door – the same woman that he has been unable to forget from all those years ago.

Ellie’s world comes to a grinding halt when Connor comes back into her life. She never expected to see him again, and though she is secretly thrilled, she is dealing with her own hell. Her life is heartbreaking, and her only joy is her adorable 7-year-old daughter, Hadley, who forms an instant bond with Connor, meaning that there’s no way that the two of them are able to avoid each other. And when Ellie runs into real trouble, Connor is there for her and Hadley when they need him, creating the perfect opportunity for an emotional reconnection.

That’s all I’m going to say about the story, because you just need to dive in and experience this book. It’s a story of heartache and healing, of love, family and second chances, and of overcoming the past and finding your place in the world. Told with so much heart, Michaels has really brought the feels with this one!

“I don’t care if there are pieces of you that are damaged. I don’t care if every inch of you is scarred. Believe me, there are parts of me that are so fucking mangled it would take a miracle to straighten them. It’s not about perfection or being whole—it’s you being you.”
Ellie looks away, tucking her hair behind her ear. “You say these things, and I have to stop myself from falling.”
“If you fall, I’ll catch you.”

The romance! OMG, the romance! Connor is a dream come true with his patience, honesty, and huge, huge heart. He sees his situation as the second chance that it is, and he’s there for Ellie in every way possible, prepared to fight for the woman that he wants, and it’s so beautiful to watch.

 

 

Oh swoon!

Ellie has been through hell, but she doesn’t let that stop her when faced with the man that she’s never been able to forget. I love her strength and her courage to move forward, and the resulting love story is sweet, emotional, and super swoony.

Little Hadley is a total scene-stealer. She’s bold and brave, and the relationship that she develops with Connor is absolutely gorgeous! She’s a bright light in this dramatic story, and I loved her, and her own storyline that unfolded throughout the book.

We are also introduced to Connor’s older brothers who will each get books in the series. They are a great bunch – all very different, but with definite similarities and a strong bond, and with hints at their stories to come, I can’t want to read more about them! Eldest brother, Declan is next up with another second-chance-romance, and I am so freaking excited for his and Sydney’s story!

There is some drama, but it’s handled well, tying into the story without overwhelming it, and creating a beautifully emotional read. I really loved this one.

4.5 stars.

P.S. Happy shout-out, too, for the Liam and Quinn cameos – loved that!
