Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever.
When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she’s crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she’s not strong enough to face.
Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he’s believed the … he’s believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance.
When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage.
Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breath.
Warning this book is intended for mature audiences and may contain triggers for some.

This book, this book, killed me. I was so surprised when Aurora announced that Austin was getting a book. I mean we met Austin in Until Lilly where we didn’t really want to like him, but we fell for him hook line and sinker.
From the first page of this book your heart is beating a little bit faster than normal.

What I love about Aurora’s writing is that she sets the scene perfectly in order to hit you right in the gut. This story was so raw, sad, intense, beautiful, and real!

Sometimes in life all we need is to curl up somewhere comfortable, grab a glass of wine and dive into a book you know you’re going to love. Ms. Reynolds is able to make this happen for me time and time again.

Since the moment I first picked up Until November, Aurora has been a must read author for me. I just love her novels so much. And this book was just further proof of her right to be on the very high pedestal I have her placed on.
Michel From Smut book Junkie reviews said
There are certain authors that each reader puts on their personal favorites list because they seem to touch the reader on a personal level. Whether it be the characters, the series, the writing style, or the entertainment value, the author finds a way into the reader’s heart. For me Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of those authors.
Megan Gartin Said
I absolutely adore Aurora Rose Reynolds. I feel in love with her writing when I was reading Until November. I love her heroes and Heroines. I love that her Guys are extreme alpha males. And her heroine’s don’t take no crap and their strong and not whiney.

Carol (StarAngel’s Reviews) Allen said
Ms Reynolds never disappoints in engaging the reader and her character development is right on target. The hurt, anger, love, and hesitation are eminent throughout.

I love a good second chance romance. ARR has nailed it again with this amazing story of Lea and Austin. These two were high school sweethearts but after an tragic accident Lea leaves and does not come back for years until her mother needs her. Once Lea returns home she tries her best to not run into Austin because even though it’s been years that wound still hurts deep. Of course once Austin finds out Lea is back he does whatever he can and say to keep her away from him. But what these two don’t know is the fates have other plans in store for them. Be ready to go on a romantic ride with these two but have your tissues ready there is some tragedy. But don’t worry everything always works out for the best. Go read this story, you won’t be disappointed.
When the couple was together, I loved it. Sadly, most of the book is them not together. I hated the reason they broke up and I hated that there was a 15 year separation. Then they had all that muck to go through to get back on track. I never love hearing about the women/men that happen during the separation and all that sadness was just too much for me. It’s just not the scenario I enjoy reading. These days, I prefer more of an uplifting romance. I knew going in this wasn’t going to be my cup of tea but I do love this author and when I love an author, I read everything they write.
I’m not crying, you are!! Holy moly what a heartbreaking beautiful story.
Austin and Lea were childhood sweethearts with their whole life planned out, when her Dad tragically dies. Lea runs, worried that the same could happen to Austin.
Fifteen years later and she is back, her mum is terminally ill and Lea wants to spend time with her. It soon becomes clear that neither Austin or Lea are over what happened 15 years ago and when untruths come to light, he has to decide if they are worth fighting for.
So emotional but beautiful.
This book had all the feels of a tragic love and loss but still found the way back to an HEA.
I admit there were times when I had tears streaming down my cheeks. Yes it’s that good.
Lea comes back to her hometown in Cordova, Alaska to care for and be with her mother who has not long to live due to cancer. She left 15 years ago to keep from facing a deep seeded fear, the ocean. Leaving the love of her young life was not an easy decision but at the time she felt it was the right one. She had tried to move on but her marriage to Ken was a failure due to his affair. Now she’s back and her one wish is that she won’t run into Austin.
After a couple of encounters Austin decides to visit Lea and actually tells her he hates her and to stay out of his way and he will do the same for her. His words hurt deeply but they are not his true feelings.
This book has so many feelings that tug at the heartstrings, like Lea and her mother spending the last few days of Josie’s life just being together. There is also anger, confusion, heartbreak, then the realization that this excerpt from the book is true and nothing will change it. ” As for you and me, we’re inevitable Lea, and I know you feel it too.” (SWOON)
Life, death, loss and love are what makes this book such a wonderful read. As Lea and Austin struggle to find each other again and understand how each arrived at where they are now, 15 years later, an put all the hurt and anger behind them and find the future they deserve. The power of love is a beautiful thing.
Aurora Rose Reynolds books are always well written and full of feelings and that is what I enjoy about reading her work.
This is not a new publish for her but it just as awesome as her other work. So grab a copy, a box of tissue and be prepared to enjoy this book.
