The Story of Us

A heart-wrenching story that will make you believe in true love

By: Tara Sivec

Narrated by: Devon Hales, Edward Thomas

From the USA Today bestselling author of Fisher's Light comes a "heartbreaking and hopeful" (AL Jackson) standalone romance about first love and second chances.

How much can a man take before he breaks?
1,843 days. That's how long I survived in that hellhole. They tried to break me, but I resisted. And I owe it all to the memory of warm summer nights, the scent of peaches, and the one woman who loved me more than I ever deserved to be loved. Now, I'll do anything to get back to her.

Only Shelby Eubanks isn't the girl I left behind all those years ago. She's someone else, a stranger. My Shelby-my little green-eyed firecracker-would never give up her dreams, would never disappear into her mother's ambitions. But I won't give up on her. On us. I may be broken, and scarred, and not the man I used to be, but I will do whatever it takes to remind her of the story of us.

Wow

I love this author’s rom coms, but this was so heart wrenching and amazing! A must read!!!

This story was perfection.

This story was amazing. Heart wrenching. When that bomb was finally dropped, I crumbled. This book is so amazing. Read it. Read it now.

Loved this story!

The book is well written, your attention is caught up in the story, and it's captivating! But, the narrators were not great. Their opposite sex voices are terrible, and the female narrator drags out every word with a ton of voice fry.

Loved this

This is such a moving book. I wish this would be made into a movie.

Another awesome story by an awesome author!

You think you understand and know what’s going on.... but you don’t. Looking back, it’s like a V8 moment. I should have seen it coming. You can’t help crying one minute and smiling the next. Heart wrenching and heart warming all in one great story.
