The Lovely Return

De: Carian Cole

Narrado por: Brandon Francis, Dani California, Shiloh James

When I was three years old, I started drawing a house with a red door. Next to the house I drew a happy family—a husband, a wife, a baby, and their dog. For years I cried every night, clutching the drawings, begging my mother to take me home to my real family.

I was labeled odd—a child with an overactive imagination. But one day I wandered straight to that house with the red door, and I found the man and the dog.

Alex was quiet. A sexy, brooding artist. A recluse hiding behind an eye patch. A grieving widower, suspended in time, never moving forward.

As I grew up we developed an unlikely friendship, bonding over our love of art. He felt familiar. But as the years passed I found it harder and harder to ignore not only my growing feelings for him, but the odd visions that played through my mind.

Dreams, reality, and sanity began to blur until I came to a startling revelation. I wasn't having visions. I was having memories.

Alex fights our connection, believing I'm off limits. He tries desperately to do what's right—pushing away the one and only thing he's been wishing for.

He was mine, once upon a time, in a prior life. And I'm going to make him mine again.

Unique Age Gap Love Story

Beautiful, emotional storytelling of a love story in the most unique way. I have never read a book with this reincarnation theme. I had some many feelings throughout the journey. But in the end from the prologue to the epilogue, this story tied everything up into the most beautiful bow!

Heartwarming and soul consuming!!!

Every moment of this book was narrated to perfection! The story just makes your soul smile. I absolutely love every moment!

This was amazing

What can you say about a book about reincarnation? What can you say about a Carian Cole book? There aren’t enough words to explain how much this book broke me in the best ways. I will gladly cry all the tears from a Carian Cole book and this one hurts the best! Brandon Francis as Fox is wonderful. He brings a softness to this character that could be all hard edges but he is a broken man who is still lost and trying to find himself. Then Dani California was Laura Rose was wonderful as well this is a character that at first when I read it I didn’t like very much however Dani made me see her in a different light. Then Shiloh James makes Penny a wonderfully beautiful FMC and I loved every minute! You NEED to read this one.
