This second chance romance by Gina Azzi is gonna give you all the feels!
This is Andrew and Everly’s story. College sweethearts, separated by time and distance have the chance meeting 15 years later…
Time has changed both Everly and Andrew. Everly is living her dream as a country music star, but she is keeping a horrible secret that has scarred her, both mentally and physically.
Andrew too has changed, he has a daughter now that is the center of his whole world. He is recovering from a divorce and has decided that he doesn’t need anyone besides his daughter in his world.
The chemistry between Andrew and Everly is phenomenal! Ms. Azzi doesn’t draw out the relationship, but makes it quick and instant! It’s like time has no meaning with the feelings between Andrew and Everly.
There is some angst and some very dark moments, but it just brings more to the story and more to the love between the main characters!
It was lovely reading about past characters! It was like a bit of reunion, but it certainly doesn’t overshadow the main story!
Every story by Ms Azzi just gets better and better! I cannot wait to see what comes next!
Ms Azzi is new to me although I’ll definitely be delving through her catalogue. I devoured This Time Around in a few hours. It had an engaging storyline, I fell in love with the characters and needed to know their story then. This was a sweet romance but it also imparted some very good messages. The majority of us have some flaws and these characters were no different. Although broken they were compassionate and caring.
Aaron is a single dad, works in his family business and is still hurting from his ex wife’s betrayal. After being dragged out by his family, a chance encounter with the one he left behind changes everything. However Aaron puts Olivia’s welfare ahead of everyone, his daughter deserves someone she can count on. It’s complicated, having your love rekindled is one thing, but can this work? My life is in Scotland and Everly lives on the other side of the world.
Everly has one regret, Aaron the one who got away when he returned home to Scotland. She made a name for herself as a country music singer during their fifteen years apart. Needing time out, she finds herself in Scotland looking for a magic solution to her problems. Aaron and her pick up where they left off as if they hadn’t missed a beat, their souls recognised the missing piece. They knew it wouldn’t be easy and eventually they’d have to have a talk about how this would work or someone was going to get hurt.
The plot of story about Everly situation is realistic and eye opening. Many people go though spousal like her. No matter how afraid she felt she eventually realised that not reporting her abuse would have kept her in the vicious cycle without any hope. Aaron’s love, her friend support and her thopiest helped her to be strong enough to report him. Beautiful ending. She and Aaron got their HEA. Taking their life back after lost love
This story will blow you away. Aaron and Olivia had a relationship one summer then he went back home to Scotland taking Olivia’s heart with him. Olivia has fulfilled her dream and gone on to become a famous country singer. Reconnecting with Aaron in Scotland was a godsend considering everything Olivia has experienced in the past few years. When Aaron finds out what has transpired he encourages her to go to the police but Olivia is concerned about the backlash on her career. This story involves some touching subjects that can cause triggers. It is a powerful story with a courageous woman he finally stands up for herself. I have to say Gina well done with this story!
