I fell so hard for these characters. This author has a way of making me feel every emotion under the sun! I don’t think I have ever loved a couple more than I do Connor and Ellie. An excellent story line and magnificent characters definitely made it a top read for me!
Hands down, I love love love a second chance romance!
But when it’s written by an author that’s on my favorite list, I already know going in, that it will be a five star read for me.
Come Back For Me, is not only what I was expecting it to be, it was beyond that and more.
Connor, (along with his three older brothers) is forced back to a place he longed to forget and had no intention of ever coming back to again.
There is only one memory of peace tied to this place, and it happened eight years ago……in the span of one night.
Ellie is the girl who shares that memory with Connor, the one who innocently gave him the reprieve from his life he so desperately needed.
Beautiful, strong and now a mother, circumstances have certainly changed, but the bond they share is the same, if not stronger.
One of the things I live for in a second chance romance is the whole “he/she’s here” moment. You know, when they discover that the one that had such an impact has suddenly or unexpectedly been thrust back into their lives.
I was giving a rather enthusiastic “golf clap”, when these two met up again and I have to say, I did it several times more as I read on.
To say that Connor Arrowood is swoon worthy, is by far one of the biggest understatements for the 2019-2020 year!
He is perfection wrapped up in a nightmare- but hey, even the worst nightmare is still considered a dream that you just have to work through to get to the other side.
And he is absolutely worth the work.
Ellie comes with her own set of obstacles, but Connor is in it for keeps (another enthusiastic golf clap here)and does what he has to do to get and keep the girl.
When a book is this good, it is so hard to be vague!
The less you know is the best case scenario for readers, but brutally tough on reviewers that are on “above ground” levels of excited and want to tell you just how wonderful this book is and want to spill the entire story.
I’m going to stop here because I have dangerously reached the point of wanting to tell you EVERYTHING that happens!
That being said, I will say that it is well written, with a little bit of everything in there for you to enjoy. It definitely has some steaminess, laughter and some heart rendering moments (these two have to work for it in this one) that give all the struggles they endure, the proper rewards in the end.
If I haven’t sold you yet…add that there are a couple of familiar faces (if you have read previous books from Corinne Michaels), that are mixed in there and that the journey the main characters have to go through…are definitely worth the price of admission.
I would highly recommend this book or any other book by this author.
I can’t wait to see what the other three Arrowood brothers are going to bring, into what is absolutely showing promise of being an EPIC series.
Loved every word as always and that’s why Corinne proves time and time again why she’s one of my fave authors.
She Always creates these characters you simply fall in love with and for me her stories are so much more Than the book boyfriend/hero because the women in her stories are ones that You find more Real than fiction – you want to be their friend- feel for them and love them. Their strength is awe inspiring.
Just as much as we swoon over the hotties I girl crush these incredible leading ladies. And Ellie is no different! A heart breaking story that hits home because it explores a subject that’s every day life to some people and Everyone deserves a Connor in their life. A hero who does nothing more than just be there for her, stand by her, care for her and believe in her 100% and shows her what true love really is. But both broken they find each each other to heal!
Another Completely Captivating read by this queen of emotions, because she sure knows how to play with yours, how to touch you so deeply it hurts, gut you leaving you in sobs of tears but then slowly rebuilds the sadness with happiness taking you on a real rollercoaster.
…And now I count down for Declan because the little bits we get from this story about him , leaves you more than intrigued , more than a want it’s a need for his book! Bring on the next arrowood Bro!
4.5 Stars
This book is a love story brought on by tragedy. One night, no names, never to see each other again until eight years later when Conner is forced back to his home town due to the death of his father.

Six months for him and each of his brother spent on the farm before they could sell it. While fixing up the farm to sell Conner stumbles across a young girl hiding in his old tree house. He soon finds out that the mother of this girl is his angel from 8 years ago and she lives on the farm next door with her husband.
Conner vows to stay away from Ellie as she is a married women. This all changes one night when Conner awakes to Hadley banging on his door looking for someone to help her mom.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Corrine was able to able to instill many different emotions in this story from heart wrenching to never ending love. I was completely captivated by the story and loved all of the characters. I can’t wait to read the next Arrowood brothers book.
*** Advanced copy provided in exchange for an honest review. ***
What a great second chance love story. In true Corinne fashion, many twist and turns. She pulls you in and does not disappoint! You will love the Arrowood brothers.
Come Back for Me is my newest favorite from Corinne!!! It was touching, emotional, and UNFORGETTABLE. What a way to start off 2020!!!
You can’t help, but fall in love with the tortured souls, Ellie and Connor. You’ll admire their strength and cheer for them on the sidelines. I especially loved Hadley. She was a little spitfire!!!
I’m obsessed with the Arrowood brothers, and I have a feeling each book just may be more heartbreaking than the last.
I love Corrine Michaels writing. She knows how to capture her readers with heartwarming stories that fill your heart with so much emotions.
Ellie and Connor’s story is emotional but it had moments that were funny thanks to Hadley. She has to be the most entertaining, enthusiastic kid character I’ve met so far and I can’t forget brave.
I read this book in one day, that’s how good it was. I love how easy it was to connect with the storyline and the characters.
My favorite thing about this book, was how with the description of things happening, I could see it in my head. It’s really good when that happens because the book feels more real.
A new small town romance filled with angst, second chances, and all the FEELS! Corinne Michaels brings the emotions in this new standalone!
Emotional roller coaster that takes you on twists and turns and rips your heart out on every level.
Ellie’s life has been hell since the death of her parents at a young age and a rushed marriage to a not-so-standup man.
Only one night of her life stands out as truly amazing…only problem is that she didn’t even stick around to find out his name. One night was all they promised…
Ellie is now in a desperate state and left frantically wondering where to go and what to do. Does she leave her awful husband to save her life and that of her young daughter? Or does she stay and Leah that he can change?
What happens when her “one night only” arrives in the form of her deceased neighbors son, Connor Arrowood?
Will he be her knight in shining armor…or another let down?
I really loved the first half of this book. I was sucked in, and needed to know what was going to happen.
But then the second half came, and I was quite bored. A bit of the story was predictable, but there was a plot twist that I did not see coming. I also felt it was unnecessary. I didn’t like the twist. I was annoyed with a promise the brothers made with each other. There were other things that had me questioning if that is the way a side character would actually act.
Overall, I didn’t hate it, but I also didn’t love it. It was ok. Not too sure if I’m interested in reading the other brother’s books if there are any.
And I am in total love with Conner!
Ellie & Connor’s story was mind blowing.
Author Corinne Michael’s delivers such a powerful & heart wrenching standalone story of broken souls that reunite after many years away.
The connections, the twists and the suspense that unfolded in their story had me so vested in finding out whether they could ever have a happily ever after.
Hardcore Love is what this book gave me.
I can’t wait to meet the other 3 brothers and see where their stories take us.
A Must One Click Read book!
5 popped!
This is an introduction to the Arrowwood Brothers and their troubled early life that will shape the men they become. Fate stepped in eight years ago putting Conner and Ellie together for just one night. He is escaping his abusive father by joining the Navy and Ellie is on the brink of marrying the wrong man after tragically losing her parents. Fate brings them back together for Conner to rescue Ellie and her daughter Hadley. The characters in this book are so real, the love and feelings are so real. Corinne Michaels writes books that will rip your heart out and then mend it, this is no exception. This book is an amazing start to the Arrowood Brothers series I can’t wait for the next one.
Ahhh Corinne Michaels does her Corinne Michaels thang and brings the feels in her latest small-town standalone. Try not to fall head over heels for Connor Arrowood and Come Back for Me, which readers are calling riveting and angsty.
What a wonderful start to this new series from Corinne Michaels! Connor and Ellie’s unexpected second chance love story gave me all the feels.
It’s amazing how one night between Connor and Ellie so many years ago meant so much to them both. Connor held on to the memories of he and his angel, who he never expected to see again. And Ellie had a constant reminder that always made her think, what if. Then, fate stepped in, bringing Connor back to a town he never wanted to come back to and by chance he ended up on her doorstep. These two truly were meant for each other. He needed her, just like she needed him to show her what it was like to be loved and cherished by a man. I couldn’t help but fall in love with both Connor and Ellie – and of course little miss Hadley too.
Bring on the rest of the Arrowood brothers – so excited for what’s in store for the rest of the brothers when they come back to town
This world wind book written by Corinne. From the beginning to the end I love reading about Conner and Ellie. Conner being close knit ton his brothers that they would anything for one another. Conner and Ellie story that started eight years ago. With unexpected journey that brought them together.
Loved it!!! A new small town romance filled with angst, second chances, and all the FEELS. Corinne Michaels brings the emotions in this new standalone.
A fantastic start to a new series by one of my favorite authors and I couldn’t be more pleased. If you’ve ever read a book by Corinne Michaels, then you know she’s going to take you on an emotional journey.
Connor and Ellie spent one night together during a very tumultuous time in both their lives. But that was all they had. And the memory of that night carried them both through the next 8 years of their lives.
Both are battling some pretty heavy demons when they are reunited. Ellie is doing her best to just survive and protect her daughter. Connor is trying to decide what to do with his life while being forced to return to the one place him and his brothers vowed to never return. The journey these two take is beautiful. It’s both heart-wrenching and heart-warming.
Corinne Michaels can write a book. The plot, the characters, it’s all so good. Definitely a new favorite from her. This is a must read, and be prepared to fall, and fall hard, for the Arrowood brothers. I can’t wait for the next installment.
Oh my heart! This gorgeous second chance romance has captured it completely!! From the very first page, I knew I was in for a whirlwind. Come Back for Me is quintessential Corinne Michaels -emotional, heartbreaking yet hopeful and full of swoons. The characters were relatable. The plot was well crafted and addicting. And, the writing flowed effortlessly. This was a no doubt 5 star read!!
It was impossible not to fall in love with these characters. Ellie with her strength to escape a horrible situation, Connor with his protective nature and both with their devotion to Hadley solidified their spots for favorite CM characters. Connor especially, gah! I looooove him. I didn’t think anyone could beat out Wyatt Hennington for my top hero spot, yet here I am so utterly gone for this beautiful broken man. What sold me the most was his interactions with Hadley. My ovaries never stood a chance.
Come Back for Me was a fantastic start to the Arrowood Brothers series. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of the Arrowood boys. I’m so ready for Declan and Sydney.
I wish I could rate this book way more than 5 stars, because this book deserves all the rating stars!!! Come Back For Me was EVERYTHING, I could not put this book down for even a second. Corinne just outdid herself, I was on the edge of my bed wanting more.
Connor has my whole heart, he is a character that you will fall in love with right from the start, he is the best and I can say he just took Wyatt’s spot in my heart. Ellie was one of the strongest characters I have ever read, she stole the show in this book. I just loved how she fought to hard, she but her daughter first, and never gave up no matter how bad things got in her life.
Connor and Ellie are reunited 8 years later after spending a night together, destiny needed these two find each other and for good reason. I loved how they are stronger together, I love how Connor made it his mission to be there for the two people who now hold his heart. I also wanted to say that I absolutely loved Hadley, oh my gosh that little girl is the best and I just wanted to hug her. Hadley ad me laughing and crying nonstop, I love how strong her connection is with Connor, and I just love how much she loves her mom.
This book is a MUST READ, you will not be able to put it down at all. Corinne just wrote her best book yet. I cannot wait for more of the Arrowood brothers, this series is already EPIC!!!
Let’s talk about beautiful stories and beautifully written stories because Come Back for Me was exactly that! This is second chance romance that will be hard to forget. The author did an amazing job telling their story. And even threw in a few twists and turns to keep you one the edge of your seat. This story touches on a hard and even relatable subject for some. It’s story that is pack full of emotions. This story definitely has a slow burn feel. They have this attraction but don’t immediately act on it. It creates a lot of fun sexual tension. While I loved the story I with there was more action to the story. It centered around the characters and their relationship. While that’s a big part of the story I wish there was more doing than telling. But the author did throw in a nice twist at the end. Overall, I really enjoyed the story and thought it was well written. I can’t wait for the next!
