Publisher's summary

One choice can ruin everything.

When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face-to-face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost didn't believe it. He'd never stopped searching for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn't help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible.

When Mary Benson ran away at 18, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe.

Mary's guilt was her consolation. She'd lived with her decisions and accepted the hand dealt to her. But Brandon was about to shuffle the deck in a way she never expected. One thing was for sure, he thought she'd be happy to see him, and he'd never been more wrong about anything in his life.

Brandon💘Mary! Great Story, Great Audible Listen🎧

Anna Brooks takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. This is the 2nd book in her “It’s Kind of Personal Series” each can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone. I enjoyed the 1st book so much I had to continue with the series. I just love the storylines and characters she created, they are real and relatable. This is Brandon and Mary’s story, Brandon is Travis’s brother, we meet him briefly in book one, we also meet Mary briefly there too. Those encounters are mentioned here and it is the start of their story. Brandon and Mary were best friends growing up, his family was her second family, they actually treated her better than her own family did. After a horrific incident Mary fled and disappeared out of their lives. Brandon never gave up looking for her and years later he found her not far from their home. Mary’s story is a heartbreaking one, what she endured growing up and the choices and sacrifices she made. Brandon is a great guy, loved the chemistry between the two, also loved how he handled the situation and his patience. I am glad his family was behind him and they also showed their support. I adored this story, it is a heartfelt one and there are lots of ups and downs, drama, angst, some scary moments but it all leads to a wonderful romance, a second chance of life and of love. Anna Brooks, thanks for another great story!

I listened to the Audible edition, narrated by the talented Nelson Hobbs and Neva Navarre who continue to bring these great characters to life. They project the emotions of the characters in their performance and add a nice dramatic touch which enhances an already great story another level.

Full of emotions!!

Any additional comments?

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook - I listened within a day! The narrators Nelson Hobbs and Neva Navarre are so talented! Their narration brought so much life to each and every character in this book! Ms. Navarre is great at the various female voices and her ability to range from each character is amazing like from the perky Charlotte to the serious Dr Elizabeth. And I love the way Mr. Hobbs's voice was full of possession when it came to anything with Mary!

OHH! my heart was bursting with so much emotions as I listened to this book!! I was choking back tears and my heart was jumping with joy! Ms. Brooks's writing is full of FEELS and absolutely addictive!! I am already craving more!! I loved how she has tied the next book (Meara and Liam) into the final chapters of this book! 5+ lovesick stars!!

Heart wrenching and heart warming!

I am totally hooked on this series by Anna Brooks. This book brought us the story of Mary and Brandon. These two were childhood sweethearts but due to u fortunate circumstances and decisions, Mary ran away. It took Brandon twelve years to finally stumble on her. This second chance at love is heart warming, and heart wrenching. I love the intertwined characters from the first book as well as getting to know Baprandon's parents better. I just love his mom's unconditional love and intuition that she has(being a therapist helps I am sure) and his dad is just such a positive man, you can't help but love him.

Anna Brooks has an amazing way of telling a story with such emotion. The men are incredibly loving and compassionate without losing any testosterone...they are all male. Their damaged women, though having their issues are strong and are able to overcome their obstacles. I have fallen for these books and cannot wait for the next in the series.

I am listening to this series, looking forward to book three coming out with the continuing narration by angels on Hobbes and Neva Navarre. This team is giving us a dual POV that is so enjoyable, I couldn't stop listening.

I understand trauma but damn girl heal!

I cannot finish this book. The main female character is making me want to pull my hair out because she is not even trying to better herself!
