Choices. Everyone makes them. From mundane to unimaginable, one choice can change the trajectory of your entire life. My mother’s choice was to abandon us with our abusive father. My brother’s choice was to go to prison for killing the boy who assaulted his soulmate. Camden Cole’s choice was to fall in love with a shattered girl who had absolutely nothing to offer him but heartbreak.

Story5 out of 5 stars 471
When I was eight years old, Caven Hunt saved me from the worst kind of evil to walk the Earth. It didn’t matter that I was a kid. I fell in love with him all the same. But that was where my fairy tale ended. Years later, a one-night stand during the darkest time imaginable gave us a little girl. It was nothing compared to the pitch black that consumed me when I was forced to leave her with Caven for good. At the end of every fairy tale, the happily ever after is the one thing that remains consistent. It wasn’t going to be mine.

When I was 15, 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. But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep. I’d 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 - pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,079
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 450
Lucas Xavier is the last person I want to spend 24 hours with, let alone two minutes. Exes are exes for a reason. In his case, for a million reasons. Because he's not only an ex-lover, he's also an ex-friend. We didn't just break up - we combusted in a spectacular bonfire of barbs and doors slammed. Nothing will change that. Not his clever wit, not his ridiculous good looks, not his unfair levels of charm. And definitely not a wild dash through the city that takes us on an accidental scavenger hunt through our past, where we stop for a tango lesson, pancakes and a visit with llamas.

Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The man with the Midas touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed. Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers - and tongue - all over me.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 411
It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 499
When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life. Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart. I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision. Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more. It’s the call I’m terrified to make. I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Publisher's Summary
From USA Today best-selling Author Aly Martinez comes an emotional new standalone.
Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.
At 12, he asked me to be his girlfriend.
At 13, he gave me my first kiss.
By 16, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.
Love never fails, right?
But for Ramsey, it did.
Love failed him.
I failed him.
The entire world failed him.
At 17, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.
"Move on", he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.
"Start a new life", he urged.
"I don’t love you anymore", he lied.
There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine - then, now, and forever.
So here I am, 12 long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

Love that is worth fighting for.❤️
Release is a second chance story. It’s a story of a connection of deep friendship that is made as children and then to lovers in high school. Life can change in a matter of minutes. Release takes us on a tale on giving that connection and love a second chance. Aly writes this story with heart. 4 stars for this story that made me laugh, cry, and swoon.

Dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers
Reading several emotional books in a row is hard on the soul, I can tell you. But sometimes, the pain is what you crave. I wanted dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers. Well, I’ve been served.
The flashbacks, though, were adorable, even when the events weren’t always pleasant. And maybe that’s what makes Thea and Ramsey’s relationship so beautiful–they are crutches to each other, they support each other. They build a bubble around them, and when it explodes, it’s painful. And the present is a big delicate and difficult healing process until Thea and Ramsey reconnect.
It was such a bubble, though, that we barely see them interact with other people. Even Nora, Ramsey’s sister, is more a function than a character. The past is a collection of important moments, the various steps in their relationship–the first meeting, the move from friendship to relationship, etc. Their life outside is barely mentioned. Of course, that means we focus on Thea and Ramsey, and it makes their story more powerful.
The narration is amazing. Both narrators know how to express the depest feelings, and they cause many tiny heartbreaks. But they also offer witty and lively banter. Just know that you’ll need a box of tissues.

A Stunning Read
A beautiful story brilliantly narrated by two of the finest Narraters.
This is a story of a young love between a ‘broken’ boy and a ‘broken’ girl and how they deal with the ‘curve balls’ that life throws them and finally find an ending that's right for them.
Aly I loved listening to this book - a real winner for me!
I hope others think this way too.
I would definitely recommend this heartfelt story to other readers.

A book that will leave a mark on your heart!
What an emotional roller coaster yet such a beautiful book! I LOVE a good childhood love romance story and this one was amazing. I was literally listening to this book with tears welling in my eyes more then a few times.
Their journey of love that started from the age of 10 was heartbreakingly beautiful. They were 2 broken little souls suffering from loss, brought together by their grief & need to be loved. They went from tiny frenemies to high school sweethearts over the space of 6 years and it was the cutest thing I’ve ever read.
The characters were beautiful, especially Ramsey before he went to prison! He had the weight of the world on his shoulders and was always protecting his girls (his sister Nora and Thea). My favourite part was definitely how Ramsey handled the situation when Thea got her period for the first time. He was so sweet!
I was so angry at Ramsey when he was first released from prison until his real thoughts and feelings became apparent. My heart absolutely broke for Thea. She waited for so long but I loved how she was so strong & determined.
I really adored that Thea’s Dad pulled it together and become the adult that all 3 of them needed. I loved that he liked Ramsey from the beginning and how their relationship developed. I also loved how he stepped up for Nora & took her in as his own when Ramsey couldn’t protect her anymore.
The twist towards the end was a huge shock to me. Although I will say I was initially surprised once I found out how Ramsey ended up in jail. It wasn’t the way I would have imagined him to get his revenge if at all so it all made sense eventually.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance novels with a selfless swoon worthy hero. Specifically a love that starts as child hood friends. The story is told with lots of flash backs. There is some childhood trauma, loss, some anxiety/depression & mention of rape in this story.
Narrators were amazing in this book, they were perfect for the characters.

took a bit to get into swing
I love Ms Martinez books, I've listened to quite a few. this one took a bit to pick up but eventually it gathered speed.
I kept asking why and when I found out it was ooohhh now I get it.
loved Andy and Jason. a good easy read albeit emotional which is always the case with Aly's stories.
