I read somewhere once that you only get one true love in a lifetime,And mine—mine was Wyatt Slade.Fierce, wild, reckless…that boy was my everything.Until he shattered my heart.He was my first.The day he slipped that promise ring on my finger,I gave him all of me—there was no going back.So when I saw him kiss my best friend, I knew I had to get the hell out.The thing about growing up in a … out.
The thing about growing up in a one-stoplight town,
When you finally come back home, everybody knows.
It feels like every corner here has a story—a memory.
One I’ve been running from for ten years.
But the moment my eyes land back on Wyatt,
It’s like I’ve fallen in love all over again.
A stolen kiss drenched in tequila sets off a firestorm,
One I’m not sure I’ll survive.
A decade spent running from my heart and here I am back in his arms,
Ready to embrace a new future, and let our past go.
I swore I’d never trust him again,
He swore he’d never hurt me again.
Never say never…
Does true love deserve a second chance?

I gave this book 5 stars it was really good I love this Author!
Loves Me Not is the 4th book in the Slade Brothers series by Alexis Winter. This is a second chance at love romance.
This story is one I had been looking forward to, because Wyatt was one of the brother’s we knew less of so I was curious about his childhood.
Wyatt and Destiny’s story was heart melting to me. He is the sweetest man….omg I fell in love with him. Young Wyatt fell in love with Destiny at 16 in high school, and after everything that happened, the time that has passed, the many woman he’s hookup with, she in the end is still the one for him. That drunken mistake at promo split them apart, and broke her heart and trust in him forever and she took off to college without looking back. Years later Destiny has to return back home because her dad had a stroke, and her parents needed her help. This part of the story is the hardest to me, it was so emotionally painful seeing them go through that change in the family. It was a tear jerker ( my mom had a stroke in Nov )
Wyatt also returns home because his dad also got sick and he was getting tired of traveling. He and Destiny they reconnected, and both realized that the sparks and intense magic they had in high school was still there ….the moment the looked into each other’s eyes and they touched it’s fireworks.
This is a sweet story of second chance at love, not giving up, forgiveness, understanding, of course also trouble shows up, growing up, family relationships, healing, patience. Steamy Hot Sex, Baby Slade’s ….This was a true HEA that took a while to get to. No cliffhanger, Standalone, but I guarantee you will not want to miss the rest of these books in this its Fantastic, Heartbreaking, Steamy, Loving Supporting Secondary Characters, Inspiring, Intensely Powerful, Entertaining, Mystery Suspense at times stories. It truly is freaking awesome…I love Alexis Winter

What a great story this was. I’m really enjoying this series so far although I realised today I’ve read books 3 & 4 instead of 1&2 lol oh well it still doesn’t detract from how good this series is. This book was Wyatt and Destiny’s story . One full of teenage hopes and dreams until a misunderstanding accures and soon those hopes and dreams are shattered. Ten years on and both come home for different reasons and when they see each other again the old flame is reignited and they realise after all this time it didn’t flicker out. Although I’ve said I really enjoyed this book there were parts that I feel weren’t explained properly and certain characters seem to have gotten off considering the damage they had done to both Wyatt and Destiny . But it won’t stop me from reading more in this series though it’s very refreshing and the author has a way with words that entice you to keep reading. Five stars from me.
Wyatt and Destiny were once high school sweethearts that pledged to love another until the end of time. One mistake happens and it shatters their world. Now in the present time, in their hometown and they seem to have the same chemistry and fire for one another. Will they get their chance for a long talk, a heart-to-heart and possibly a second chance before any more time gets away from them? This story is an adventurous journey for true love to prevail and overcome!

An amazing and captivating second chance book four in the Slade Brothers series that drew me in from page one! The story-line is well written, emotionally deep, well-developed, engaging, and heart warming. There are ups and downs, drama, twists, and steam. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts. Strongly recommended.

This was a beautiful second chance romance. I didn’t like Destiny in the first half of the story. It was a little annoying that she wouldn’t even listen to Wyatt when he tried to explain things. I started to like her more once she finally got out of her own way and trusted the love that her and Wyatt shared. Though I enjoyed the story this was my least favorite Slade Brothers Book. Overall this was a good book and I look forward to the next Slade Brother’s story.
Love Me Not is the fourth book in the Slade Brothers series and with each book you will fall in love with their family little more.
Wyatt and Destiny’s story is a true journey of pain, heartbreak, mistrust, love, family and happiness that leads them to their second chance at forever. When you dive into their story, you are taken on an amazing ride of love, but as it is with fate there will the twist, turns and trials that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and grabbing a tissue.
Alexis Winter’s books are magic. The stories she tells and the lives of the character she weaves leaves you stunned.

Love to Last a Whole Life Long
“Young love” or “puppy love” are usually the phrases used by adult observers to label the emotions of love when expressed by adolescents, but those emotions are rarely given the value of being really “in love.” So, Destiny Parker and Wyatt Slade, high school “sweethearts” or “crushes,” moved through their senior year in the haze of “love”—hanging out with another couple—Mark and Julie—enjoying the haze of love, and for the guys, that haze was with the added ingredient of alcohol, especially during their final high school days including prom and graduation. As far as Wyatt was concerned, Destiny was “the one” and with that in mind, he had already asked his father to allow him to start constructing a house on his piece of the family land. He had placed a “promise” ring on Destiny’s ring finger months earlier, and he planned on giving her “the ring” the day after prom.
And, dressed for prom in his tux, the tall, lean dark-eyed Wyatt made Destiny’s heart throb and the slender, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Destiny, was Wyatt’s dream for the future. But, everything blew up when in a drunken haze Wyatt mistakenly snuggled up behind Julie whom in his haze, he mistook for Destiny who was similarly attired in a white dress, and after nuzzling her neck, he turned her for a deep kiss. Witnessing, but not understanding her guy kissing her best friend, Destiny’s worst nightmares and neurotic fears were fulfilled in that one moment, and nothing could be said by Wyatt or Julie, then or later, to convince Destiny that he had made a drunken mistake, not willfully cheating or betraying her love. And so, they parted before they even graduated. And, by the end of summer, Destiny had left for college, and Wyatt, with an engagement ring in his sock drawer and a house under construction, also left, getting a job as a roadie for an up-and-coming Indi band. And for over four years, the two young broken-hearted lovers tried to move on.
And time, while not always healing, does provide perspective. Wyatt, had grown up as one of the youngest of 5 loving brothers. His mother had died before he had memory of her, and his grieving dad had tried to cope with the help of alcohol and a string of nannies to wrangle his boys. So, while “home” wasn’t picture perfect, it was home, and he was tired of roaming and seeking a way to fill the hole left in him with the absence of Destiny; so, he came home—to live and to join the family business—to be with his family.
And fatefully, Destiny has also come home to support her family. Her dad has had a stroke and her mom needs help. So, with her college degree in hand, she packs up and heads home leaving behind her dreams of city life and employment. And, when she touches base with her old friend, Julie, she begins to unpack the hurt from the past, to consider other perspectives of that fateful prom night. But, the most challenging task she must confront is the fact that Wyatt is back in town, and evidently, not merely for a stopover while the band takes a break. He is back, but that doesn’t mean anything, the past is done—no do-overs—right?
Loves Me Not continues the story of the Slade Brothers series. This novel continues to weave a strong storyline with interesting characters and electrifying emotional connections. This forth novel continues to follow the romantic developments of a family with secrets and unresolved heartache that needs to be addressed to bring happiness and healing to all members of the family. Each novel can be read independently, but the Slades are so engaging that you will want to know each member and his story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review ARCS, but I enjoyed the reading experience so much that I bought a copy for my “read-again” titles.
This was a quick, easy read. High school sweethearts broken apart by a mistaken action. They both leave town to only long for each other across time. Unfortunate events pull both back to their hometown and to each other. Moths to a flame so they say. The story develops quickly as they are back in lust and can’t wait to pick up where they left off. There is some drama that tries to tear them apart, but in the end we get the HEA.
Loved reading this one! I read it front to back in one sitting. I obviously had a hard time putting it down. 😉 Destiny and Wyatt work to overcome their obstacles to attain their HEA. Definitely a full Five Star read!

This book contains adult themes and language, steamy sex, and is intended for mature readers only. Trigger: a miscarriage in the past is revealed. It is done respectfully. I was in no way offended.

Destiny and Wyatt’s story is one that you don’t want to miss. Alexis does a great job with bringing all the feels of what was once a young love that was torn apart by a stupid drunken mistake and bringing them back together again. Of course, their journey won’t be easy because small town people from the past don’t want to see them happy. The way this author writes just amazes me how she describes the love they have for each other and the flashbacks from the past just add to the story. The romance she brings and the way she has Wyatt swooning over Destiny is so beautiful. Then there is the reason for their return to their hometown after the breakup and it is because of both their parents suffering from illnesses and how they need to be there for them. Destiny’s mom really opens her eyes to things and it helps that she was always a sucker for Wyatt.
I truly loved this book and Alexis Winter is a one click author for me, but I was honored to receive and ARC copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are mine alone.

This is the 4th book in this series and is Wyatt and Destiny’s story. These two were high school sweethearts and soulmates, until one drunken mistake separated them. Now they have both returned to their hometown at the same time, and they realise that the chemistry is still intense between them. This is a beautifully written story which is filled with emotion, heartbreak, passion, and love which all lead to a sweet and steamy 2nd chance romance story, with realistic and engaging characters. I cannot wait to read more from this author and I highly recommend her work for all readers.
Great love story with lots of drama.
Loved this 4th book in the Slade Brother’s series, loved all the other & this didn’t disappoint. Wyatt & Destiny’s story was emotional at times & the chemistry they had from being childhood was still there no matter how much Destiny tried to deny it. They both separated at there high school prom because of a mistaken drunken kiss & she left town as soon as they graduated & ignored any contact with Wyatt not wanting him her life anymore but fate brings them back together when they both return home because their Dad’s are ill. There were tears, laughter, hot sex & drama before they both realised they couldn’t live without the other as their love was stronger than anything thrown at them.

Seriously could not have been separated from the book. Found out that I couldn’t wait to read what was next. Was a very well written book/ story. Believable storyline. Too many books are not about the story they’re all about the physical aspects instead of the emotional impact on the reader. I am looking forward to the potential of the writer who can make you feel many things and make you invested in the story. This author gives you a book about romantic love without graphic love scenes. She hooks you into the story from the very beginning and you will not be able to put it down until the end of the book. Loved loved the book.
