Now, years later, she's running her bakery while engaged to the ideal man. Then the unimaginable happens. She is left shattered once more and vows to never love again.

An unexpected meeting with Nate has him back in her life, wanting a second chance. He'll do anything to win her back. But Nate must confront his demons before he sends Brooklyn's life into another tailspin. Can they reconnect and overcome their obstacles to be together?

An inspiring and Heartfelt

Loved this from the beginning. Love is everything in this life good or bad it is all that matters in the end. The narrator did this book justice. It was an awesome read. had me in tears and on the edge of my seat at times. Great storyline. well written too.

Teenage mentality - terrible narrator

Regretfully I listen to this whole thing. The narrator over pronunciations her words. Dragging out the last letter .. “What is it about him-aaaah. Looking at me from across the room-aaaah”.. The story line was an immature romance . Found myself eye rolling. Allot. Ugh.

Another great romance told by Erin!!

Erin Mallon has so much passion in her narrations. She is just one of the best. This was an absolute well written story and narration by Erin. Nate was flawed but passionate; Michael was the boy next door who loved Brooklyn too. She was loved differently by both men. That would be such a dream for any woman. I loved this story and highly recommend you enjoy it too.

Not for me

This book didn’t give you time to fall in love with the couple before it split them up, so they didn’t have any rooting power. I was not fond of the narration either.

HOLY DRAMA!!

I loved the story line and the characters, the first 75% of the book was great (mostly) but once they find their way it takes a turn for the worst for me. I don't enjoy extreme drama and the last part of this book was nothing but drama. The jealousy doesn't work for me... If you can't trust each other then you shouldn't be together!! That part for me was immature and turned this 4.5 star book into a 3.5 star book. I will also say that the very first scene wasn't really realistic to me but they were teenagers so I can get past that and did very quickly. I loved the emotional aspect of this book, my heart broke at one part but I love when people pick up and move forward.

The narration was PERFECT... It's Erin Mallon so I expect nothing else!!

Be My Reason

I enjoy Samantha Christy's writing and this story was no exception. I also have enjoyed other books by this narrator. However, the narration in this book made it difficult for me to listen. I kept starting and stoping the book because of the strange tone and overly breathy quality.

Not my favorite..

Loved everything by this author prior to this, but this one wasn't my favorite. Found multiple elements of this one very frustrating. Still looking forward to more from this author...this one just didn't do it for me.

Mediocre Story

I couldn't get into the story because of the narrator. She sounds whiney, like she is about to cry ALL THE TIME. Through good times, bad times or normal times. I can't take her.
