Corinne Michaels has given us a fabulous start to what’s looking to be a phenomenal new series. Connor Arrowood is the stuff book boyfriends are definitely made of. He’s totally swoon worthy and will set your heart a flutter. Returning home to Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania is the last thing he ever wanted to do, but even in death, his father is still calling the shots. What he doesn’t expect is to find the girl he spent the best night of his life with as the neighbor living next door to his family’s ranch.
Come Back for Me is one of Michael’s best books to date with it’s flawless writing, rollercoaster of emotions and amazing characters. This book will make you laugh and cry and I swear I needed a drink when I finished lol.

Connor and Ellie are pure perfection.
I loved everything about this book. The heartbreak, the emotional rollercoaster and most definitely the undeniable love. Connor is broken, powerful, kind, loving and oh so dreamy! Ellie is hurt, guarded, caring, and oh so strong. I loved everything about these characters individually and the moment they were brought together – it was incredible.
I love all of Corinne’s books but this is my favorite – by far. I cannot wait to read the rest of this series. The hardest part is waiting for the other books to release, which starts now….
I loved, loved, loved this book. I laughed, cried, swooned, etc. This book has all the feels. Run don’t walk to read this book. Conner is perfection and I can’t wait for Brother #2 Declan.
Good god almighty…..this book was fantastic!!!
Come Back For Me tests it’s readers with its true to life storyline. I was constantly asking myself, “What would I do if I was Ellie?”.
It was full of heart wrenching emotions that captured my attention from start to finish.
“I want to be the man that makes my angel look like she could fly. Her wings may have been broken years ago, but I’m really good at restoring things.”
Connor and Ellie’s backstory isn’t just bad, it’s BAD. Reading them fight for each other, love each other was beautiful. The strength they both showed was awe inspiring. And in true Corinne Michaels form the twist was unexpected and threw me for a loop. I gasped…I cursed…I cried and I yelled.
IT. WAS. AWESOME
This book should not be missed. It’s a must read for all.
Corinne has done it again. This book was amazing and had all the feels. I fell in love with Connor instantly. This book was the perfect romance. It was love at first site for Connor and Ellie all those years ago and that instant attraction was there still 8 years later when they meet again.
What I loved the most about this book was how Corrine name dropped a few of her other characters from other series into this book, without giving away their stories.
The Arrowood brothers are something else. This series is going to be an amazing one. I can’t believe we have to wait until May to find out Dec and Sydney’s story. Connor was swoon worthy, I can’t wait to see the other brothers in action. This book and this series is a MUST read!
FIVE ARROW STARS for Ellie, Connor and Hadley !!!
This is the first book that I’ve read by Corinne Michaels and I’m totally in love with her writing style.
“Come Back for Me” is truly an emotional book about right and wrong decisions, new chances and forgiveness.
Ellie and Connor are two broken souls whose life wasn’t easy but something has changed the night they first met.
But after that, they got only beautiful memories that have chased them in the dreams.
And romance wouldn’t be a romance if their ways didn’t cross after eight years.
This story really broke my heart but also put it together again in the end .
I can’t wait for the next standalone book in this series !!!
If you love heartbreaking romance books, you definitely need this book in your life!!!
Highly recommended!!!
NO SPOILERS!
What a way to start the Arrowood Brothers series! Come Back for Me was a sexy, angsty, and emotional small-town second chance romance from Corinne Michaels.
I loved the storyline and characters. Corinne Michaels sure knows how to bring the angst, feels, and emotions in her books, and she definitely didn’t hold any punches with this one. Connor and Ellie’s story was unexpected in a lot of ways, and it certainly pulled on your heartstrings. Some aspects caught me off guard, and it was heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time. However, despite all of the ups and downs, I loved going on this journey with Connor and Ellie, and was extremely happy with the outcome. I also loved most of the secondary characters, and can’t wait to see more of them in the rest of the series!
Come Back for Me was a great start to the Arrowood Brothers series, and I loved Connor and Ellie’s sexy, angsty, and emotional love story. Corinne Michaels worked her magic with this romance, and I’m so excited to read about the rest of the Arrowood Brothers in the books to come!
Corinne Michaels at her best!!
This book was a real page turner and has all the feels that only the author can convey through her chapters. Corinne Michaels writes stories that are real , full of emotions …
Connor and Ellie are just so beautifully written that you can’t help but root for them from the beginning.
They do deserve their HEA but so much is at stakes …
This book is the quintessential Corinne Michaels books. She brings the emotions, heart, and a hero that you will fall head over heels with.
4.5 stars
Come Back for Me is the first book in the Arrowood Brothers series and if the next few books are as amazing as this one this is going to be one incredible series!
“Can two people belong to one another without ever actually being together?”
This is such a heartbreakingly beautiful story, with exceptional writing and incredible characters. My heart ached for Connor & Ellie’s beginning and then almost burst with happiness as their story went on. Come Back for Me is not the happy fairy tale, but a raw & realistic love story of epic proportions.
Connor & Ellie are such strong and resilient characters. I loved them both from the very beginning and couldn’t get enough of them. I loved them on their own and together, and I can’t remember the last time I wanted a happily ever after for two characters more than them. And then there is Hadley. That little girl is one of the sweetest characters I’ve read, and I absolutely adored her!
I loved this story so much and I highly recommend it! And that glimpse into Declan’s book? The wait might actually kill me!
Omg this book is everything!! I love love love Connor! Connor is struggling with having to walk back into a life he left behind to only be thrown an absolute curveball and comes face to face with the girl that he sees every night in his dreams.
Elli is living a nightmare of a life for the last 8 years and is constantly returning to her dreams of a man she met years ago. The only beautiful in her life is her amazing daughter, Hadley.
A simple twist of fate brings these three into each others lives and rocks everyone’s world.
This amazing STANDALONE book will stick with me forever! It was absolutely beautiful, heartbreaking, refreshing, and reassuring all in one. Don’t wait to get this book!
OMG!! I wish I could give this book a 10 star rating. It is excellent. Corinne Michaels’ writing and storytelling skills just gets better and better with each book that she puts out, and this book is by far, just amazing. Come Back for Me is one of the most moving second chance romances that I have read in a while. It focuses on Connor Arrowood, the youngest of 4 brothers, who has just recently gotten out of the navy…yup…a Navy Seal, and Ellie, his Angel, whose name he does not know, but dreams about constantly.
Come Back for Me is filled with so much emotion, heartbreak, joy, love, laughter, secrets, revelations, and a little girl named Hadley. Come Back for Me is an absolutely amazing wonderful read that you will not be able to put down once you begin. You will be hard pressed to read about two people who deserve happiness and love, and togetherness more than Connor and Ellie. You will cry with them, and rejoice with them. Their journey is like no other.
Come Back for Me is a great start to Corinne Michaels’ new series based upon the four Arrowood brothers, and their journeys toward their happily ever afters. Not only are the main characters complex and exceptionally lovable, but the secondary characters are just as wonderful. You want to move to Sugarloaf just so you can be friends with these people. Corinne Michaels has truly created an amazing world filled with the most amazing characters and the most heart wrenching stories. So, if you are looking for an excellent read to get your new year started off right this is the one.
I have devoured everything that Corinne Michaels has written since I discovered her at the beginning of the year, and this book.. This is her most heartbreaking, emotional, all consuming, has you on the edge of your seat romance she has ever written.
We are introduced to Connor, who is being medically discharged from being a SEAL, finds out that his father — whom he has had no contact with since he enlisted — has passed away and he and his three brothers have to go back to the one place they swore they would never return. When he learns that he must stay in his hometown and on his family’s farm for at least six months in order for him and his brothers to get their inheritance, Connor is livid. He wants nothing to do with the town that he escaped, or the memories that are never far from his mind. But when he rescues an adorable little girl that is hiding in his tree house, but then meets her mother that has haunted his dreams for the last eight years.
Ellie, our heroine, is one of my all time favorite characters this author has written. She is so strong, has endured so much loss and pain in her young life, but is doing absolutely everything to be the mother her little girl needs her to be. When Hadley — her daughter — befriends Connor and she comes face to face with him for the first time since their once night together, she knows her entire life is about to change. When Connor rescues her from an unbelievably tragic situation, will she finally be able to find the right kind of love? Or will her protector destroy her in ways she never thought possible?
THIS BOOK. Lordy, I was a bundle of emotions at 20% in, and I didn’t stop tearing up/full on crying until the end. This is book is EVERYTHING! And of course it wouldn’t be a Corinne Michaels book without a hell of a twist that had me SHOOK.
It’s best to go in this book blind, to really appreciate the beauty and the strength these two characters encompass. Just know that once you start, you won’t be able to stop!!
**also, we get to see some of our favorites — Liam and Quinn!! I absolutely adore those two, and to see them and Connor’s friendship is everything I didn’t know I needed!
The ending of this book had me so excited for Declan’s book!! I can’t wait to see where this amazing author takes us with these incredible brothers!
**I I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!!**
I absolutely loved Connor & Ellie’s love story. These two met each other two years ago and made a connection. Connor went on to join the Navy and Ellie went through and married another man and started a family. They meet years later and the sparks are still there. I enjoyed every page of this book and loved the relationship between Ellie and Connor but also his bond with Ellie’s young daughter, Hadley. This book is a must read and a great start to the new series.
Come Back to Me is the first book in a new series of stand alones by Corinne Michaels and I completely devoured the first book. These books will feature four brothers. This was Connor’s book. He has just returned to his small hometown in Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania from the Navy. He has been gone for 8 years, and had no intentions on coming back to his hometown but his father has passed away and he and his brothers have to decide what to do with their father’s farm.
I adored this emotionally charged, angsty second chance love story. It was heartfelt and features characters that will stick with me for a long time to come. I would describe Corinne’s writing as powerful and epic but also big & beautiful. Her writing packs so much emotion and feelings and this book put my heart through the ringer but it is oh so worth it by the end.
Ellie is one of my favorite female characters that Corinne has ever written. She is a smart, strong, sweet and a force to be reckoned with but she has a messy past and issues to work through. She is a school teacher and has a huge heart but her priority is her daughter, Hadley. She is just surviving trying to provide for her daughter and escape an abusive marriage but suddenly Connor unexpectedly returns and completely changes things for her.
I loved Connor and his fierce and protective personally. The chemistry and heat between he and Ellie was addicting. He has some secrets and demons to work through but what a journey it is.
Hadley is such a special little girl and I absolutely adored her throughout the entire book.
Both Ellie & Connor come from painful backgrounds and seeing them navigate their relationship despite of their pasts was tough at times but also so beautiful in the end. If you love an angsty small town romance with all the feels you want to pick this one up ASAP. This story is EPIC. **Thank you to the author for an ARC in exchange of an honest review.
This is going to be a great series!
We start the series with the youngest brother Connor. We learn the sacrifices that have been made throughout his youth to survive his terrible childhood.
Meeting Ellie and having that magical moment has been imprinted in him for years until one faithful day he sees her again and his life begins to see the light. They begin a friendship like no other, until one sacred secret is bound to rip them apart.
This book is full of tragedy and what Ellie goes through is beyond words. Written incredibly well and you will fall in love with Connor!
Second Chance love is my absolute favorite and Connor and Ellie’s story sucked me in and kept me turning the pages.
4 Stars!
Connor Arrowood is the youngest of four brothers from a small town in Pennsylvania called Sugarloaf. He left town eight years ago to become a Navy SEAL, and vowed to never return. Now as he’s settling back into civilian life he learns his father has died, and it’s time to go home to tie up loose ends. He’s ready to be rid of the farm where he grew up, and finally escape the memories that have haunted him for years. Then he comes face to face with the woman who has consumed his dreams and thoughts since the one magical night they spent together.
Ellie Walcott is a teacher in Sugarloaf, but her most important role is mom. Her daughter means everything to her. Then she crosses paths with the one man she could never forget. She spent an unforgettable evening with a man who made her believe in love and everything good. They were two broken people who didn’t exchange names or promises. Now he’s back, and time has done nothing to lessen how gorgeous he is. He’s still just as sinful looking as she remembers, and their chemistry is still on fire.
Connor has held on to the memory of the woman who saved him the night he was at his lowest point. His angel now has a name. Ellie is even more beautiful, and he wants her to be his. This time he refuses to let her go, but will secrets from the past threaten their future?
Come Back For Me by Corinne Michaels is the first book in the Arrowood Brothers series, and is a complete standalone. It’s an emotional, second chance romance full of heart, hope, and love. I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait for Declan’s book!
~“I would’ve rather found you happy with him than in the hell you were. Even if that meant I could never have you.”~
It’s another amazing written book from the woman who knows how to fill my heart with a variety of emotions. Every time I read her book, I need a moment to calm my heart. And this book… This book is E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G! The story about two people who have experienced enormous pain at the hands of their loved ones. The story about courage to move on. The story of second chances. The story about the power of love. And all this is told in words that can break and repair the reader’s heart at the same time. Beautiful!
I always know when I pick up a Corinne Michaels book it is going to packed with all the feels I love when I read a book. I devoured this Come Back for Me. I am excited this new series of standalones about four brothers. I couldn’t get enough of Connor and Ellie’s story.
Ellie and Connor met and had one incredible night together eight years ago. They didn’t know each other’s names and never expected to see each other again. Their story was just I what I needed at the time. I loved how Ellie and Connor started as friends and his relationship with her daughter. This story broke my heart and put it back together. I was so invested in these characters.
I loved this book and highly recommend it! I can’t wait for the next book.
