When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.<\/p>\n
But all the money in the world couldn\u2019t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was\u2014pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.<\/p>\n
Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.<\/p>\n
Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.<\/p>\n
If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.<\/p>\n

I really can\u2019t say anything about this book without spoiling the first in the duet so this will be vague. But if you loved Written with Regret<\/a>, then you are going to love this conclusion to the story.<\/p>\n This book picks up immediately after that massive cliffhanger that changed everything<\/i> for Caven and Hadley, and I was immediately sucked back into these characters\u2019 lives. Through happiness, heartache, angst, devastation, grief, guilt and back, I felt it all, and I was on this wild ride right along with them.<\/p>\n \u201cGod, why does this hurt?\u201d This book answers all of the questions that I had, and provides even more depth to this amazing story. Everything that I wanted to know is explored in great detail, and there are even more twists and turns revealed. It\u2019s jaw dropping and exciting, dramatic and beautifully emotional and I loved it all!<\/p>\n \u201cThe only reason I hate you is because I can\u2019t figure out how to fucking hate you at all.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n These characters have been through SO much, and they are still wrestling with the ghosts of their past. They have a lot to overcome before they can claim their HEA, and though my heart ached for them, I have so much love for them both and I loved watching them work through it as they found their way forward together.<\/p>\n \u201cTonight, we are living in the seconds. And in this second \u2026 <\/i>you are okay. We can fix the rest of it.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The love story is dramatic, thrilling, unexpected and exciting, it\u2019s sexy and sweet and so freaking romantic. Little Rosalee continues to light up every scene she is in, and I came to love Caven\u2019s best friend, Ian, even more. I\u2019m hoping that we get a book for him in the future.<\/p>\n Aly Martinez proves once again why she\u2019s one of my favourite authors. She sucks you into her stories and makes you feel everything<\/i> before leaving you on a glorious high. I loved this one!<\/p>\n 5 stars.<\/p>\n An Advanced Reader Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Written With Regret (#1)<\/strong> Written Without You (#2)<\/strong> <\/p>\n Originally from Savannah, Georgia, USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez now lives in South Carolina with her husband and four young children.<\/p>\n Never one to take herself too seriously, she enjoys cheap wine, mystery leggings, and baked feta. It should be known, however, that she hates pizza and ice cream, almost as much as writing her bio in the third person.<\/p>\n She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sign up for Aly\u2019s\u00a0 Newsletter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Website<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Goodreads<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<\/strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a> |\u00a0 Bookbub<\/a> |\u00a0Facebook Reader Group<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Written With You, the emotional and highly anticipated conclusion to The Regret Duet from USA Today bestselling author Aly Martinez, is available\u00a0now!
