Choosing Happily Ever After is the perfect title for this story. Hope has taken over her family wedding business on Ever After Ranch. She’s always known this was her destiny. Unlike her twin sister who couldn’t wait to leave town, Hope was happy where she was. She just wished she had someone to share it with. She thought she’d found that person but he left her behind. Now, Levi is back in town & the chemistry is just as intense as ever. But will he stay this time? After Hope gets some bad news, she has some tough decisions to make.
I love the sense of family that is written under ever line in the story. Faith doesn’t hesitate when Hope actually needs her. Levi comes back to his family when times matter. These two neighboring families have connections that come across throughout the story. Hope’s strength & determination to not let her dreams die show her character. The fact that Levi admits his dream centers around having her in his life is the typical, heart melting “Awe” moment. I can’t wait for the next story in this series & I hope we are kept up on Hope & Levi’s journey as we move forward.
I absolutely adored this story, the first in a new series. Well written, terrific characters, some interesting plot twists, and a great lead-in to the next in the series. Can’t wait for more!
I love love love second chance romance and this one is so good!!
Hope and Levi had two very different pictures of the future but 10 years later, Levi is back home and a second chance just might seem possible. There was quite a bit of angst in this story that had me shedding a tear or two but the ending brought so much light and love.
I am so looking forward to more of this series. There’s so many characters that I need to see get their HEAs!!!
I really enjoyed this story. Hope was successfully running a Wedding Ranch and loved every minute of it. Her twin, Faith, was a city girl and did not love it, do very seldom came home. After admitting she was tired more than usual, she placed an ad for help and Levi applied and was hired. Levi had been her boyfriend but left suddenly and was gone for 10 years. It was fun to see them reconnect and then deal with the fallout of why she was so tired. The characters were so great and I can’t wait until the next book in the series.

I got this book as an ARC. In true Elena Aitken fashion, I couldn’t put it down. It was a great story that made me feel good while reading it. I can’t wait until the next book in the series. I’m positively hooked! Hope and Levi were easy to fall in love with. Their story left me wanting more for them in future books. I also can’t wait to see Katie’s story as well as more on Hope’s sister, Faith. Elena’s easy flowing style makes it effortless to read – even when I should go to bed because it’s 2 am.

This is a great beginning for the Ever After series. The story is sweet and comparable to a Hallmark movie with some heat. I was a little worried that this would be a tearjerker at one point in the book but it works out for the couple. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series which sounds like a fake fiancee/wedding trope. I received an advance copy of this book from booksprout and this is my honest and voluntary review.
I received an advanced copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I am an avid reader of books by Elena Aitken, so when this ARC was up for grabs, I just had to have it!!!
This story starts out as Hope and Levi’s second chance reunion and adds in Hope’s twin sister Faith. That’s where the drama gets interesting because what is the deal with Faith and Logan and will Noah just accept a Faith moving back to the mountains? There is so much more to know that hopefully a second book can answer. But the ending…that was awesome!!!! Can we just say – Shut.the.front.door!!!!

This first book in the series Ever After is a fast paced second chance romance with a few hurdles to overcome.
Levi Langdon and Hope Turner were HS sweethearts up until Levi left Hope behind in order to pursue his dreams . He knew she wouldn’t be happy away form home and he couldn’t stay.
Fast forward ten years and she’s now a respected wedding planner and holds weddings in the farm that belonged to her family. Levi is back hoping to rekindle what he had with Hope.
But fate has other plans. Will they get their second chance? Will they realize that the obstacles can be a blessing in disguise?
The plot was engaging and though I felt the story was rushed, it still was a good one.
Can’t wait to see what happens in book 2 of the series. Will it be Faith’s story? Will she have to choose a future with one of the two men in her life?
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
A sweet, fast read. A ten year old romance, lights back up when the main characters meet again. This is a great beach or vacation read. There is romance, angst, drama and the requisite HEA. Grab a. Adult beverage and enjoy. Add this to your TBR list.

This is a great fast paced, emotional, steamy and interesting enemy to lovers romance.
The characters are engaging, well thought out and constructed
Choosing Happily After by Elena Aitken is the perfect second chance romance. Let me just say Elena Aitken knows how to grab her readers hearts and pull out all the emotions. I love all her books.
In Choosing Happily Ever After we are introduced to a new series. We meet Hope Turner and Levi Langdon. Hope and Levi have history. Hope has a twin sister Faith. Hope and Faith are polar opposite. I love their bond. You can see their love for each other. Hope and Levi have this amazing chemistry that is just breathtaking.
I really love Choosing Happily Ever After. I love watching Hope and Levi deal with their struggles. I loved meeting all the secondary characters. My heart really went out to Hope. I loved how in her dark moment Levi really showed his love for her. Elena Aitken pulled at my heartstrings. I cried, laughed and had heart swooning moments that would last a lifetime. I felt as if I were a part of Hope and Levi’s world. I couldn’t put this story down. I read it in one night and have reread it a second time. Choosing Happily Ever After is a sweet romance full of all the feels. However it is so much more than just romance. I loved seeing the relationship between Hope and Faith evolve. Choosing Happily Ever After captivated me from page one and I didn’t want it to be end. Thank you Elena Aitken for a powerful and heartfelt story that will forever stay in my heart.
I lost interest in the middle. Never completed it.
Love Interrupted. He had to leave. He had to leave her behind. This is the story of his return 10 years later. Forgiving him for leaving. But, there is a good drama in today that almost ended up with her rejection. I do like Aitken’s writing. I did think that there would be more understanding by all in the beginning of why he had to leave.
Loved it.
Wonderful heartfelt romance. Faith and Hope’s are identical twins and yet so completely different from each other in every other matter. Their relationship was very well brought out.
The love story between the Levi and Hope and their second chance was wonderfully brought out. A heartfelt romance.
Hope, a wedding planner, has always dreamed of her happily ever after despite having her heart broken as a teenager. Levi, always having love in his heart left town and one very important thing behind. Years later, he returns. No lost love when he comes into contact with the girl whose heart he broke years before. Friendship reforms, along with some devastating news. Trying to protect both of them, Hope this time turns away. Levi, with love deep down in his heart, fights back and Happily Ever After!
No Spoilers.. Elena has nailed this second chance romance with and HEA. This is Hope and Levi’s chance after 10 years of being apart but that 10 years is a long time for mistrust and angst. This is a beautiful love story and hopefully a great new series in the making some many wonderful characters. Elena is a very diverse author and I have loved every book she has written you will never be disappointed for reading her work.

A second chance at love for Hope and Levi. Hope is still very bitter when Levi left town after graduation. I would have thought she would be more understanding, given his circumstances. They both seem to have issues communicating with one another. A fun, tender read.
