I love every book Corinne writes. If you’re looking for an amazing read, grab this book!
A new book from Corinne Michaels is an exciting thing, but when that book is kicking off a new series, that’s something else altogether. Michaels introduces a new world to her readers in the Arrrowood brothers, and I’m just going to get this out there now…. the rest of the books in this series have already landed on my most anticipated books list, and the titles, blurbs and release dates haven’t even been announced yet. That’s how much I loved this first book, and how invested I already am in these characters.
Michaels created Connor and Ellie’s magic by weaving a fated feeling into their story. A chance meeting, a respite from their own pain in the arms of a stranger. A single, nameless night was all it was supposed to be, but fate had other plans, and it became so much more than that for both of them. Fate steps in again, eight years later, and reunites them, both a little more broken than when they last met. The healing is where the beauty in this story begins, and Michaels brought all the feels she could muster to Connor and Ellie’s story.
Come Back For Me was an absolutely gorgeous second-chance romance that pulled me in from the first page. This wasn’t an easy read – what Corinne Michaels book is? – and my heart broke often as this couple’s difficult story unfolded. But that’s the thing about Corinne’s books, as painful as they are, and boy does she like to pile on the angst and emotion, the flipside to all that pain is pleasure. The rekindling of Connor and Ellie’s love story was beautiful, powerful, and passionate, and it’s a story that will stay with me for a long time to come. Five smooches from me for Come Back For Me by Corinne Michaels!

5 Devoted Stars
Poignant, relevant and so true to life! I found myself closing my eyes periodically and visualizing so much of what Ellie was going through. So much of the emotion, survival skills and endurance and all she grappled with in her situation was hitting so close to home!
I found Corinne Michaels’s depictions of the characters true to life and the experiences that were portrayed what it truly feels like for a woman in her situation and what it’s like to have a gamut of feelings, realizations and ultimately achieve forgiveness.
The introduction of the Arrowood brothers brings us characters that will surely be a force to be reckoned with! Loved Connor’s story!
I have loved everything I have ever read by Corrine Michaels. She has this amazing ability to create characters that you just fall wholeheartedly in love with. And her books are always chocked full of meaning and a ton of emotions. This book was no different. Connor and Ellie’s second chance love story is one filled with heartbreak, betrayal, loss and a unwavering hope for redemption. There were even some twists and turns that I didn’t at all see coming. My emotions were all over with this one. I laughed, I swooned, I cried. Oh boy did I cry. It was like non stop there for a while as my supply of tissues slowly depleted my heart broke for Connor and Ellie and what they each went through.
5 Her World Comes Alive with Him Stars!!!
This first book in this newest series by Ms. Michaels has hit me on every emotional level possible. Connor and Ellie are two very damaged people on different levels. Ellie’s damage came later in life while Connor’s began as a boy and my heart literally hurt for both of them.
They spent one incredible night together when they were both hurting and because of actions taken by one of them, they were never going to see each other again…until the day Connor and his brothers come back home because they have to and Connor gets the surprise of his life when he discovers a beautiful little girl on his farm who happens to be the daughter of “his angel.” Talk about surprises all around!!!
This is how this love story that takes us on journey that is filled with love, angst, terror and forgiveness. This book is everything I love about Ms. Michaels and her ability to write a story that hits me in the gut and heart at the same time.
Connor and Ellie aren’t meant to be together but fate has other plans for them. I loved how there’s an immediate connection between Hadley and Connor. She so needs a man that has a heart that wouldn’t think about hurting her and they can be silly together which is exactly what both of them need at this point in their lives. Connor because he’s being forced to do something he desperately doesn’t want to do, work the family farm, and Hadley because, well, her father is a not so nice man. And Ellie is everything to both of them. The connection Connor and Hadley had all those years ago hasn’t lessened at all….
“I remember everything. His touch, his scent, the sound of his voice as he made love to me in a way I didn’t know existed….my world came alive and colors were brighter when I was with him. He was like a comet that set the sky on fire, and the tail has never faded for me.”
As this story moves along we get to see what these boys have lived through and what Ellie and Hadley are dealing with on an ongoing basis. And again, one night changes the trajectory of their relationships. And in my opinion all for the better. It takes some time for our H/h to get on board with what is inevitable and how they deal with revelations that can ruin the world they’re creating with each other and as a family had my heart beating triple time. I mean there’s some surprises I NEVER saw coming!!
When the dust settles around them, decisions need to be made and hopefully the love they’ve begun to experience and give to each other can get them through some of the most harrowing of decisions and actions because love can salve wounds but along with the love, forgiveness is needed and promises may need to be broken but all for good rather than bad!!
There’s a treasure trove of secondary characters in this first book setting us up for the next book in this series and I cannot wait to come back to this small town.

Come back for me est le 1er tome de la saga The Arrowood Brothers et Corinne Michaels va nous offrir quatre tomes sur chacun des frères. Leur passé a forgé ceux qu’ils sont devenus et les promesses ainsi que les secrets seront de rigueur . J’ai passé un excellent moment de lecture avec cette histoire qui m’a happée dès les premières pages .
Connor Arrowood est le plus jeune des frères . Il s’est engagé dès qu’il a eu 18 ans et on le comprend en découvrant son adolescence. Les liens qu’il a tissé avec ses frères sont indestructible et devoir revenir à la ferme de son enfance sera une sacrée épreuve . Il a effectué son temps chez les SEALs et il ne sait pas quelle direction doit prendre sa vie . A la lecture du testament , le choix n’est plus permis et il retournera donc en Pennsylvanie . Ce retour ne sera pas sans conséquence et si dans un premier temps , il n’accepte pas la situation, il va être reconnaissant que le destin le remette sur le chemin de la seule jeune femme qui ait compté pour lui . J’ai adoré découvrir cet homme car il va montrer toute sa générosité , sa ténacité et sa protection . Quand il retrouve Ellie , il ne s’attendait sûrement pas à la voir mariée et avec une fille. Cette jeune femme a été sa lueur d’espoir pendant ses années en enfer et il se voit dans l’obligation de la laisser tranquille .
Mais Connor va vit e comprendre que la situation n’est pas ce qu’elle paraît être et dans un premier temps il va venir en aide à la petite Hadley, qui est une petite fille adorable . Elle semble en détresse et il saura trouver les mots justes pour l’aider à se sortir des problèmes. J’ai adoré la relation qu’il va tisser avec elle et leurs scènes seront attendrissantes . Chaque frère Arrowood va devoir rester à la ferme pendant six mois et Connor va être en charge de remettre cette ferme en état, ce qui ne sera pas une mince affaire étant donné l’état de délabrement dans laquelle elle est. Il n’est pas très doué pour gérer une ferme mais une chose est sûre , il sait aider ceux qui en ont besoin. Il sera là quand Ellie en aura le plus besoin et il sera prêt à tout pour l’aider même à rompre la promesse qu’il a faite à ses frères . Auront ils droit à une seconde chance ?
EllieWalcott est une jeune femme que nous découvrons et dès cet instant , nous sentons toute la détresse qui l’habite . Tous les signes sont réunis pour comprendre ce qui se trame chez elle . Une seule chose l’importe et c’est évidemment sa fille Hadley. Elle est prête à tout pour la protéger . Elle n’a plus la main sur sa propre vie et sa propre destinée mais elle refuse que sa fille en pâtisse . Aussi, elle n’en revient pas que celui qu’elle a rencontré une nuit de doute soit de nouveau présent face à elle . Ce personnage m’a touché énormément et elle trouvera forcément un écho en Connor qui saura reconnaître les signes . Je ne veux pas vous parler plus intensément de notre héroïne car vous devez découvrir cette histoire et cette intrigue incroyables par vous même . Mais sachez qu’elle a un courage incroyable , une force absolue et une détermination à toute épreuve.
Bref, une fois de plus Corinne Michaels nous offre une saga qui va nous promettre de magnifiques heures de lectures. Ces quatre frères n’ont pas fini de nous offrir des histoires poignantes, prenantes et ils devront faire face à leur destin pour tenter d’aller de l’avant . Le second tome de cette saga sortira en VO en mai, le troisième en août et le dernier en décembre et j’ai tellement hâte .
Corrine outdid herself with this book, its the best one I’ve read of hers for sure! the raw and heartbreaking moments of this book will have you crying, but at the same time swooning for the hero, it was a roller coaster of emotions, but I wouldn’t mind getting on this ride again!
*5 stars*
The author has done it yet again! Every time she has a new book coming out, I’m just there with bells on fire ‘cuz she’s one of my favorite authors. I really adored this story and can’t wait to read what is next in store in this series as every brother has already wormed their way into my heart. And if you haven’t read this author yet, you sure don’t know what you are missing! A definite must read!
Connor and Ellie met years ago but never had more than just one night together. Now years later, when Connor’s dad has gone, he and his brothers have to return to a place they swore they’d never go back to again. While Connor tries to restore the farm, he rekindles with Ellie but everything has changed. Now Ellie’s married and has a beautiful little girl. Even though she seems to have it all, nothing is as it seems but slowly she’s finding her voice again. With time, they are getting closer and even with everything else going on around them, it seems their relationship grows even stronger but when a secret comes out, Ellie will have to decide what step to take next… One that might change their future forever…
Tissues – you are going to need all the tissues. A little bit of a second chance, a well developed storyline that is at times heartbreaking, you won’t want to put it down once you start. I can’t wait for more of the Arrowood brothers!
Come Back for Me was simply beautiful!! Corinne’s writing hooked me from the beginning. Connor and Ellie’s characters were well developed and made me feel like I was right there with them! This book has so much emotion and brought out all the feels!!!! I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!!
Connor and Ellie’s story broke my heart and then healed it. This is a story of second chances and not being afraid to take those chances. Connor and Ellie had a brief encounter 8 years ago, but then he left for the military and Ellie got married. Their night was the bright light that got them through the years until they found each other again.
This story is full of emotion and pain and love….so much love. There are things in here that may be a trigger for some people. This couple and the love that they share is all encompassing. There is a swoony military hero and a cute as heck little girl. What more can you want? I am a Ms. Michaels fan and this book is exactly what I have come to expect from her. Great read!
Oh my soul is in pieces with Come Back for Me! Connor is everything I could imagine! I love military men and he has topped my list. When I saw this was my next book to read and it was written by Corrine Michaels, I knew whole heartily that it would start this new year right! Is it too early to say this book and series are going to be the Must Read for the year? I got glimpses of Connor’s brothers and I am anticipating their stories like no other. Corrine will give you just a taste of Declan. You will beg for more!
I loved Ellie and Hadley. They brought the best in the story. My heart shattered for Ellie. There is so much behind her story that makes you shiver. In the end, she followed her heart. I loved those two and love how they fit in Connor’s life.
Come Back for Me is a story of hope. It’s a second chance romance, but it has so much more behind the words. I loved every moment I spent reading this story. I cannot wait for you to read it too!!! I need a tree house to run away to every now and then <3
