Wow incredible book. This book has all the feels. I love Conner and Ellie’s story. Once again Corinne you created an amazing book. I look forward to Syd and Declan’s Story.
Not my first read by the author, she actually is one of my very first reads. When I say that I mean, I started reading Romance back in 2010/2011 and so her books even many moons ago have been a favorite of mine. This I was super excited from the moment I read the blurb and knowing Corinee’s style, eeekkk I was giddy!
What a ride this was, I was not prepared for the emotional and heartbreaking in the beginning, then when you think you’re slightly thinking you got this..BAM, another secret comes out and you get sidetracked. This had it all, romance, betrayal, mystery, little bit of suspense, heat and so much cuteness. Again, I never do give spoilers and therefore will not say too much but this will bring it all out in you. The heroine and hero meet and have one of the most magical night together, what happens after that is…un-explainable, but I will say that you will lose yourself in this and LIVE IT!! Watch out for that #bookhangover

“You’re everything I remembered and nothing I was prepared for.”
This book was an epic masterpiece!!!! 5 stars is simply not enough to rate it. It’s definitely one of the best, heartwarming and unputdownable stories I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. I still have tears in my eyes and goosebumps all over my body after I’ve reached the end.
Everything about Come Back for Me was pure perfection: the setting, the characters and the dynamic between them. But the best part of it was Hadley. This little green eyed girl owned my heart. She was such an adorable, funny and smart kid!
Ellie, her mother was a sweet and good hearted woman who was trapped in a terrible marriage with a violent man. She blamed herself for the choices she’s made but she never regretted the one that gave her Hadley. She’s her entire world and a memory of a time she felt happy and safe at least for a night.
Connor Arrowood grew up with three brothers on a farm in Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania. They lost their mother early and grew up with an alcoholic and abusive father. He was the youngest and couldn’t wait to get away from home. A day before he leaves to join the military, he meets Ellie and spends an unforgettable night with her. He never expected to see his angel again. But when his father dies and the brothers return to the place they swore to never come back, he finds a little girl named Hadley hiding in his tree house.
Eight years have passed, but Connor’s feelings for Ellie are still the same. Being her knight in shining armor, he’s determined to safe her and Hadley and take care of them. When long-ago buried secrets come to light, rocking them all to the core, Ellie needs to decide if she’s willing to forgive the only man she’s ever loved or leave everything behind for good…
Connor and Ellie were true soul mates! They shared such a deep connection and understanding for each other. Their chemistry was out of this world! I loved how patient Connor was with Ellie. All he wanted was to make her feel safe, cherished and loved. He was so protective of her and Hadley it made my heart melt! In his arms they both found shelter from every storm coming their way. I especially swooned at how amazing and loving Connor was with the little girl. He was Hadley’s best friend and hero!
Come Back for Me hit me with all the feels and I already know, that I will remember this story for a long time. The hardest part now is to let these amazing characters go. I need a little more time to be able to do that. Good thing that we’re getting books about Connor’s brothers Declan, Sean and Jacob. I can’t wait to see which stories this talented author is going to give them!
I bow to Corinne Michaels for writing such an outstanding book that goes straight to my top favorite reads shelf of 2020!
‘Come Back For Me,’ was my first read of 2020 and it was exactly what I needed. A throughly lovely, sweet, and thoughtful story about love and survival. As the story develops so too does the emotion of the characters who take centre stage in this second chance romance.
Engaging, heartwarming and joyously romantic. I really enjoyed spending time with Ellie and Connor.
What an absolutely beautiful story. While any book that touches on the topic of domestic abuse can be really tough this book is a must read. Connor Arrowood met the love of his life 8 years ago the night before he finally escaped his horrifying childhood. No names were exchanged but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t dream of her every day for those 8 years until he is forced to go back home, to a place he never wanted to see again. Yet when he gets there he finds the woman he has been dreaming about but Ellie is living through hell with her 7 year old daughter Hadley, who happens to have the same eyes as the gorgeous stranger she met 8 years before. This book is the start of what I think will be a great series about 4 brothers still being chased by demons and now forced to face them. I’m excited to see what happens next. Bring on Declan and Sydney.
I Just Want More Arrowood Brothers!!
Oh my goodness Connor is getting out of the Navy and forced home to face his dark past he and his brothers have tried to move past. When he happens upon the cutest girl who he sees darkness behind her eyes and her mother who he recognizes from 8 years ago. Ellie and Hadley are living in a nightmare and fighting their way out. Connor loves so deeply and Ellie has to learn to trust in men. I loved this book so many feels and so amazing. I cannot wait for May and Declan’s book. These brothers are yummy
“We may have lost our chance years ago, but I’m not a kid anymore, and I have my target set. I’m waiting for the sights to align.”
“You’re everything I remembered and nothing I was prepared for”
“She and I both have demons, and when they’re awoken, I know how hard it is to silence them again.”
Come Back For Me is the first book in this interconnected, standalone, second chance romance with a small town and military trope thrown in. This book will follow the love stories of each Arrowood brothers and it started with Connor, the youngest of the four brothers.
Connor is an ex-Navy SEAL who came back home only to find out that their father, who beats and abused them their entire childhood, was dead. After deciding that they will sell the land and divide the money, they were told by the attorney that each of them had to stay six months to the land before they can inherit it. As the youngest one with no job to return to, Connor was the first one up. There he met his neighbor, a little girl named Hadley and her mother, the woman he couldn’t forget even years later after that unforgettable night, Ellie. The catch however is that she is already married and have a kid.
Connor Arrowood is your next book boyfriend! Connor is a refreshing alpha male without the roughness that we usually associated it with. I have always loved men in uniform, and Connor didn’t disappoint. He is your hero: that kind of guy who will save and protect you and a gentleman through and through. It is safe to say that he is a such a dreamboat! *dreamy sigh* I loved how he showed gentleness with Ellie given her situation and to Hadley. I swear I just about swooned with his hero personality. Ellie is a fighter and I loved how she stood up even through her trauma for her kid. It is clear that Connor and Ellie are perfect for each other in every way. There were some drama and secrets that they had to overcome, but I was happy that they finally had their deserved HEA. I loved this book and I couldn’t wait to read the eldest Arrowood’s story, Declan’s.
Ellie an abused wife Conner had an abused childhood. Fate or kismet call it what you may brings these soulmates back into each others life.
The horrible abuse Ellie and her daughter Hadley live through makes you feel so much empathy for her. Conner a Navy Seal who has the memories of an abusive father from his childhood remembers his one night with his angel as he calls her since he didn’t know her name and she didn’t know his. You are drawn into this book from the first Chapter. Corrine Michaels takes you on a journey of the Arrowood brothers and it is haunting and uplifting. Ellie’s life is a living hell and I find my self hoping Conner comes to her rescue. I look forward to this series it has all the angst and feels you look for in a romance. The Arrowood brothers journey will draw you in. Every women wants a Conner Arrowood for a hero. Ladies get ready to swoon.
Such an amazing book! These two are absolutely captivating together and this book has legit all the feels! I’ve not read the books prior to this, but it was still just as amazing. I’m looking forward to Connor’s brothers getting their super sexy HEA too!!
I received an ARC for an honest review.
It deserves more than 5 stars. I’ll have to say this is my favorite book from Corinne. It gave me all the feels. It was heartbreaking, sad, cute, funny, romantic. I swooned so much. Connor and Ellie…two broken people who overcame their pain and guilt together. It was a beautiful love story. Hadley made the story even better. Her innocence was everything. I really don’t want to spoil the story so this is just a small snippet of my review. u2063u2063
Just love Connor and Ellie. Second chance romance and all that it brings. Highly recommend.
One of the best books I have ever read! Connor will steal your heart and never give it back. If you love romance and true love this one is for you. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
I loved this book so much! I loved how protective Connor is of Ellie. His relationship with Hadley is so special. He reminded me so much of Liam. I can’t wait for the rest of the Arrowood brother.
If second chance romance is for you than you need this book. Connor is back in his hometown that he said he would never step foot in again. What happens when you find the one thing that you said you would never allow yourself to have.
Beautiful story about Ellie and Connor. Corinne hit this one out of the park dealing with a very serious topic that affects so many families. This author write with such poiste and elegance that anything she touches turns to GOLD. Congratulations on another beautiful and precious story. I can’t wait for more to come with the Arrowood brothers.
“I’m going to kiss you, and I need one of us to have some control”
Very interesting story arc about four brothers who suffered under an abusive father. When their mother died from cancer, the father was so devastated that he turned into a drunk, abusive monster and made their lives unbearable. After one tragic incident, they all made a pact to leave town as soon as they could, never marry, never have kids, and never come back to town. Years later, their father died and they had to return to fix the farm in order to sell it. Then never set foot in Sugarloaf town ever again. Famous last words!
Eight years ago, after graduating from high school, Connor was set to leave town for boot camp. He stopped in a bar to get over the last punch he got from his father. And there he met this beautiful angel, spent the night with her, then went on to join the Navy Seals. Now he’s back in the farm, reliving his last memory of his angel, with a damaged leg, and with a medical discharge. On his first day, he meets a precious little girl, up on his old tree house, and fell in love. When he returned the little girl to her mother, there was his beautiful stranger, married and mother of little Hadley.
Many conflicts happen on this beautiful second chance story. Ellie is living an abusive marriage and she wants to spare Hadley from the darkness. She needed a little more time for her preparations to escape with her daughter. Meeting up with the last man who made her feel beautiful and desirable throws more wood into the fire of her despair. For Connor, finding the woman of his dreams, married to a monster like his father was, and with a beautiful little girl who is afraid of her father is a nightmare come true, worse than his wartime memories.
Both Ellie and Connor have secrets, both want to escape from where they are, and Connor made a vow with his brothers that he’s in fear of breaking. There are more obstacles than opportunities and yet both face the challenges and rise above them. As secrets are unveiled, plot twists to be overcome, they are faced with decisions to make.
There’s a lot of love and tenderness and acceptance and support in this book. Connor’s brothers love to razz him but after a lot of bickering, they stand by his brother and want his happiness. There’s a secondary plot line related to Declan and Ellie’s lawyer Sidney that I just want to read and soon! It promises to be incendiary.
Although I loved the story, I have to say that the pace was a little slow for my liking and the characters needed a little more sass. Ellie was internally strong but passive on the exterior. She was lovely, kind and beautiful but a little bland. Connor was handsome and kind and generous. He was a hero for little Hadley, he was the quintessential little brother to Declan, Jacob and Sean and took their ribbing with good nature. For a Navy Seal, I expected a more alpha nature, and yet he was mild. Sex scenes were numerous, too many for my taste, but the love story was lovely and full of devotion and passion. I have a feeling that Declan’s story is going to have all the fireworks this one lacks, since he’s shown to be a harda@@ and Sybil is not a wilting flower either. Bring in the next one!
I am a big fan of all that is Corinne Michaels, and whenever she releases a new series, I get super-excited for new characters and new plot twists. Come Back for Me brings a whole new set of characters, and they are just WOW! Connor, the youngest of the Arrowood brothers, and Ellie met for the first time the night before he left for the Navy. Years later, he returns despite vowing never to, after his father’s death. There he runs into Ellie and her adorable little girl.
These two have gone through Hell and back. Their pasts have had such an impact on their present, that you know they had difficulty figuring out their future. But they both absolutely deserve their happily ever after.
I cannot wait for more from this series! And yes, I desperately need Declan and Sydney’s story! Come Back for Me is a definite reread for me!
This story captured my heart .
Conner and Ellie met once years ago , that one night holds so much to this whole story . Love , loss , a surprise and so much more .
My heart was hurting for Ellie and her daughter . It all just felt so real and raw . Conner ahhh I couldn’t help but love him and feel for him . Finally a hero that lets all of his feelings known .
The angst , emotions and twist had me glued to this book .

First of all this women is so incredible I don’t even have the words to express it all. I was so excited to take an adventure into this new world of characters when I found I a new series was coming to us. The Arrowood Brothers are a great group of men that I’ll be anxiously waiting for everyone of there story. First on the roster is Conner and Conner Arrowood is handsome, strong with so much alpha oozing out of him you can’t help but fall head of heels in love with the man. We all know that no alpha is complete with out our always amazing and strong heroin. We get to meet Ellie and even though when we see her for the first time its under not so great situation we know this women is something fierce and strong. This women will do anything for her daughter. Hadley the sweetest little girl ever with so much adventure in her was such a breath of fresh air in this book. She brought a lightness and a little fun to this book that sometimes needed. Corinne Michaels always has this was of pulling you into these characters worlds and really making your feel like your a part of it. After the first page I was so completely hooked that I cant wait to see whats next for these 3 and the other Arrowood brothers!
