Can your worst mistake become your greatest gift? SilasFate brought me back to Atlanta, Georgia, but there’s only one thing that will make me stay—a second chance with the love of my life, Audrey Colebank. Which isn’t likely, because she hates me for disappearing so many years ago.I can’t tell her the real reason I left. Someone close to her made me promise to stay far away, and revealing what … revealing what happened would only hurt Audrey again. But now that I’ve seen her, the spark that never went out has become a flame. Keeping away from her is going to be difficult. Maybe impossible.
Should I leave again to protect her, or can we find a way to be together?
Audrey
I was at a point in my life where I finally knew who I was and what I wanted. Then fate threw me a curveball from the past—my biggest mistake, Silas Vance.
Seeing him again has forced me to face two truths. One, I still can’t resist him, even though he tore my heart to shreds when he left. And two, I can’t tell him my biggest secret without hurting him and everyone I love.
He doesn’t deserve a moment of my time after what he did, but avoiding him is easier said than done. When he’s near, logic and reason disintegrate in the fire of passion he ignites in me.
Do I have the strength to resist him, or will I make another mistake?

5-Stars
Not So Far (Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent was an excellent read! I finished this book in one sitting and could not put it down. Silas returns to Atlanta following the deathbed his grandfather. He and his cousin are dealing with the old farm. He takes a stroll down memory lane and meets his past love. Audrey is a recent widow and mother to three children. She has had an easy life spent with a husband who has cared for her but not in the way she desired. She craves passion and desires what she had in the past with Silas. She also has a secret that she hasn’t shared until recently. Can the two find common ground and rekindle the fire?
I loved Silas and Audrey. Audrey was spunky for such a southern lady. Silas was sweet, romantic, and definitely not the boy she used to know. Audrey’s secret had me at the edge of my seat for a bit. I had so many emotions while reading this book! It was amazing and pulled at my heart strings. I easily give it 5 stars and can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend it!
Not So Far is the third book in the Love Grows Series from Renee Regent. I have really enjoyed the series up until now and was very ready to get my hands on this next installment. I was so blown away with how much this book completely swallowed me whole and didn’t spit me back out until I had finished that last page. I found myself just really wanting more because I couldn’t get enough of these characters. I would not be surprised if I find this book in my hands a few more times to be enjoyed again and again.
Personally I would recommend that you read the books in order before getting to this one, but can see where you could read as a stand alone if you really wanted to. This one we follow mainly Silas and Audrey. Fate has decided to give these two a chance at love again but both of them have already been through this and faced a heartbreak once before. Can Audrey let Silas back in, especially when she just now feels like her life is in balance? Things come to a crazier twist when we find out a Silas has a secret that would jeopardize everything. What he doesn’t know is Audrey has her own. Will these two ever get a chance at happiness together? I highly recommend this series, book, and author, can’t go wrong! I will be anxious to see what we will get next from her!

4 Stars
Not So Far is the third book in the Love Grows series by Renee Regent. This contemporary second chances romance is a great story with all the emotion I have come to expect from Ms. Regent. This is all about second chances, the power of love, fighting the odds to be together, chemistry, secrets, discovery, and passion.
I really enjoyed the first two books in the series, so when this popped up on my recommended book feed- I happily one-clicked a copy for myself.
This is Audrey and Silas’ story. We have met Audrey previously. She has been through quite a lot. Widowed young, with 3 young children. Silas is back after 18 years. He and Audrey have a history together, full of secrets and heartache. But can you truly forget your true love? What happens when they reconnect makes for a wonderful read.
I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thank you, Renee Regent!
This is a nice story of a second chance romance. The story moves along and the characters are interesting. There are family obligations and expectations that come into play with these two. My one issue is I would think the other two kids would/should be involved in or at least get to know him and make sure they are all compatible.
Audrey and Silas have a history. They spent a wonderful summer together. Then he left and now eighteen years later they meet back up. Each one has lived a lifetime, each one has secrets. While they reconnect once the past and present intersect who will be standing once the dust settles.
Not So Far (Love Grows series, Book 3) by Renee Regent was a great 5 star read.
Once I started I was pulled right in.
This is Aubrey and Silas’s story.
Aubrey is shocked when she sees Silas is back in town and wanting a second chance with her. She is still upset with Silas because of his leaving several years ago. She is finally in a good place with her life and not sure if she’s ready to let him back in.
Silas has some big regrets about leaving and he’s harboring a big secret that would hurt Aubrey. Seeing her again has brought back so many feelings. What he doesn’t know is that Aubrey has a secret of her own as well.
Will she be able to let Silas back in? What will happen when secrets come out?
Overall I really enjoyed this read, my emotions were all over the place. I loved Aubrey, she is very independent and not afraid to say what’s on her mind. You could feel the chemistry coming off the pages between these two. I look forward to reading more from this author and series. 1-click and get started today.
I really regret not reading the first two books first (seems to be my theme lately), but I intend on going and reading them ASAP because I loved this book so much! It’s kind of hard to give a review without spoiling the ending, but lets just say the way that Renee writes I feel like I was watching a movie as I was reading this and then realized they should make this into a movie….like on Lifetime! The characters are amazing and the way that she has Silas and Audrey interacting, despite the secrets between them feels special as you read the novel. I highly suggest reading this romance novel if this is your thing – and then adding this author to your favorites list!
Audrey and Silas – yes please! Regent does such a fantastic job of weaving a story that immediately pulls you in and connect the characters, whether you want to or not. I was immediately invested in this storyline, guessing what may have happened, what the plot twist might be. And whether or not I guessed correctly I still couldn’t wait to read the next page. Loved every word and hope there is more coming in this series!!
Not So Far ( Love Grows Series Book 3) by Renee Regent.
This was the first book I have read in this series and by this author. I didn’t feel like I missed anything yet not reading the previous books in this series, but I will be going back and reading them!! This book definitely pulled me in from the beginning and I could not put this down until I was done. My heart broke for both Silas and Audrey. I absolutely loved how they were both thinking about each other at pretty much the same time. They both went through emotional journeys to get were they both needed to be and belonged. The chemistry and love that they had for each other was amazing!!! I can not wait to see what is in store for us next!!!

Audrey and Silas are two great characters. There is something about them that just draws you in and makes you want to read about them.
They have to be my favourite couple of the series, making this book the best as well. This author has created a brilliant series, one that is highly enjoyable with strong characters and interesting story lines. Personally I think they are best read in order although they could all be stand-alones. I would highly recommend both this book and series.
I enjoyed this book. It is the third book in this series and my favorite yet. I highly suggest reading the previous two books. This is a well developed story that I had a hard time putting down. It is engaging and full of romance. I had no problem connecting with the characters. The emotional roller coaster ride they took me on had me turning pages to the end. This is a second chance love story that pulled at my heartstrings. Fate has brought Silas back to Atlanta, back to Audrey. Will she hate him for leaving the first time? Audrey has finally gotten to the part of her life where she has everything she wants. What will happen when fate puts Silas back into her life? Is she strong enough to resist him or will fate give them a second chance? I enjoyed the chemistry between them. I also enjoyed watching these two character’s relationship grow throughout the story. This is a really great story. I highly recommend this book and this author.
