It took one night with her to know she was my forever.
It took one minute for me to climb out of bed and drive away from her.
It’s taken me three years to confess that leaving her behind was the biggest mistake of my life.
I won’t stop until she knows what she means to me. I’ll convince her to listen to her heart.
It took one night for all of my dreams to come true.
It took one morning, waking up … true.
It took one morning, waking up alone, for those same dreams to come crashing down around me.
It’s taken me three years to confess that night changed me forever.
He says this time is different, but how do I open my heart up to a man who’s already ripped it to shreds?

Talk about all the feels!!!! Such a beautiful older bff with little sister love story, . Grady and Collins had history but no one ever knew or suspected it; it was their secret. But Grady broke her heart and they hadn’t seen each other in 3 years.
Grady returns home and still loves Collins and as much as she tries to fight she still loves him. But it wasn’t a walk in the park for Grady. Collins made it very difficult to forgive him and to move on. Grady started wearing her down and it was such a beauty. You get to live their struggles and emotional love story. The beauty of this story is that there is no drama or a third person trying to break them up.
My favorite was the reaction of Collins brother when he found out; it was priceless. And their parents?! Lol lovely. I loved the epilogue and can’t wait to read more on them.
I am seriously like a junky when it comes to anything Kaylee Ryan writes. She is one of my go to authors, I don’t even have to read the blurb to one click. Her words astound me, she makes me feel things that most authors couldn’t even dream of. Remedy was such an amazing second chance story. This book made me feel things, that most movies can’t even do. This cover?? The hottest cover to ever grace one of her books. It is gorgeous, but most importantly, it fits this story to a freaking T. This cover, is 100 percent Grady Carmichael and Collins Ward. Remedy is THAT book. I have never felt words pour from a book, like I did this one. The devotion in this book, is so beautiful and heartfelt, I felt it down to my core.
Remedy. There is absolutely NO title that has ever fit a book more perfectly. The way it was used throughout this story.. PHENOMENAL!
Collins. I have to point out that this name is so unique, and probably the best heroine name I have ever stumbled across. It fits this characters personality so well. I could not imagine another name for her. Collins has a soft heart, but knows when to stick to her guns. She knows what she deserves and is not afraid to point that out. For her, it’s actions that speak louder than words. She is essentially living her dream career, and is content with the way her life is at the moment.
Grady Carmichael. This man will give any guy in this universe a run for their money. I have never connected to a Hero like I did him. I felt him in ways I have never experienced before. The things he felt, I felt. It was surreal. Grady is a smart and determined man. He set his goals high, and crushed each of them. He is passionate. So damn passionate. He is not afraid to admit when he messed up, rather, right or wrong. He is a man determined to right his wrongs and make things right in life.
Grady and Collins grew up together. Collins always harbored feelings towards Grady, and thought Grady felt nothing towards her because she was his best friends little sister, until one night changed everything. The next morning, Collins wakes up in bed alone and was completely devastated. Now three years later, Grady is back and is determined to show Collins what her heart really yearns for. Can Collins let go of the past long enough to see Grady is all in? Or will the past be too much for Collins to realize Grady’s in for the long hall?
* I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
So many emotions going on right now that it’s hard to put into words how much I love this book. Grady and Collins show everyone just how perfect it can be.
Grady and Collins have a past that could create issues for lots of people. How things started out for them want wrong by any means, but I get the hesitation. I really do. But of course, the drama in books are mostly drawn up by a lack of communication, and this book is no different. I’m not getting into the issues as that will give a lot of the book away, but it’s definitely worth reading.
I voluntarily reviewed this book from the author. I truly would read any book from her, but I’m so glad I was able to read this now, because it’s a must read!
Remedy by Kaylee Ryan such sweet second chance romance. Grady Carmichael and Collins had one amazing night together. They both agree on that fact, but Grady could not get away fast enough. Now three years later he is ready to show Collins how he has changed and is the man for her. But is she ready to forgive and let him in?
I loved how Grady stepped up and could admit his mistakes. He was caring and protective and easy to like. Collins was sweet and also very likeable, but not too forgiving. She needed to protect her heart after all. This was a slow burn romance with all the right feels. Not everything was perfect all the time, but the characters worked for it and just made you feel good while reading.
Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading!
Combining second chance with bf’s little sis, has exactly the right mix for a slam dunk HEA. Collins had major feels for Mr Grady, but until they spent one blissful night in each other’s arms it was pure fantasy fodder. When she woke up alone and deserted after that note with nary a explanation, she was slapped hard with the reality of real life vs fiction. Grady cannot forget the taste, touch, and tantamount of emotions that he felt with Collins. Getting her to forgive him after a three year ghosting may be ambitious but he frankly has no other option
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book
Remedy is a beautiful second chance romance that I absolutely fell in love with. Second chance romances are my favorite and Kaylee Ryan nailed it. There is so much love and regret that you can feel it coming off the pages. Grady and Collins’ love was also forbidden seeing as Collin’s brother was Grady’s best friend. All Grady did was out of love, even as bad as it hurt them both. But when he comes back, the fire and determination is palpable. These two are made for each other, but will Collins ever be able to get past the hurt and trust Grady again? Let me tell you, this hot doc will move heaven and earth to make it happen!
Only Kaylee Ryan could make me love one of my biggest pet peeves. She has this way of writing characters so beautiful it’s impossible to not fall in love with them and that’s exactly what she did with Remedy. I’m not going to lie, at first I thought Collins was going to drive me insane. The hot and cold she had with Grady is something that typically makes me want to rip my hair out, but between the extremely understandable reasons she had and the fact she really is a person you can’t help but adore I found myself self saying “make him work for it!” more than I found myself saying “give the man a break.” which is a total first for me!
On top of that Collins’ reluctance, more than just being completely understandable, showed Grady in a light that I don’t think could have been shown any other way. This man truly proves how deep his love runs for her in ways that will have you swooning left and right. Their story is the perfect mixture of sweet, hot, and just a bit of angst that will have you glued to every page. I could have read these two endlessly and been happy.
So good! I loved this story. It is a bit of a slow burn, but so worth it. Dr. Carmichael is swoon worthy! I found this book to be filled with romance.
Kaylee Ryan has written yet another sweet, charming novel featuring a young woman named Collins (Love her name!) who falls hopelessly in love with her brother’s best friend, Grady.
While timing wasn’t on their side when they originally got together, Grady’s return to his hometown changes everything thing for Collins. His constant, faithful pursuit both in and outside of the hospital makes this nurse fall hard and fast for the doctor yet again.
Ryan really did another fantastic job with this second chance romance. If you were a fan of her Southern Perfection series, I believe you will also be a fan of Remedy. Close knit family ties, great characters and heart stopping men are just a few things you’ll find in Remedy.
This is a sweet second chance romance. Collins has had a crush on her brothers’ best friend Grady, for a long time. After spending one night together Grady disappears without a word, and now 3 years later he has returned and is determined to prove to Collins that he is there to stay. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story, which has witty banter, emotion, forgiveness, redemption, love, and is an all round entertaining read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more form this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
Nothing is more sexy than a hot doctor determined to get his second chance.
Dr Grady Carmichael. His name sounds as sexy and hot as he is, and, he is determined to gain back the love that he knows he squandered three years ago, when he bailed and ran under the cover of darkness. No contact, and no visits home to his parents. Nothing.
Collins Ward had crushed hard on her older brother’s best friend for years. Typically, her older brother had also warned off his mates, including Grady, and the threat of violence was of course, strongly implied! As a grown young woman, Collins thought they’d moved past the childhood boundaries, until she woke up alone, receiving no answers to texts or phone calls. Even worse, she kept that secret, and her heartbreak to herself, in order not to damage his friendship with her brother, or the close bond between their families as neighbours.
In trying to protect himself and not be swayed from his goals, Grady truly didn’t think through the effect it was to have on Collins, hurting her in a way that he couldn’t have fore-seen.
The opposite of love isn’t hate. It’s indifference. That’s the epitome of ghosting.
In trying to understand the character of Collins, wondering if she was be-labouring the hurt of his sudden and total withdrawal from her life, I asked Uncle Google and found that, “when someone we love and trust disengages from us, it feels like a very deep betrayal … and is even traumatic.” I now understood, and thought, why would she even begin to consider giving him a second chance?
Grady though, he hung in there, he sucked it up, apologised profusely and took everything that she threw at him. He backed it all up with actions, and I loved that he owned his disastrous decision. I know this is a romance, but I still believe that sexy as all hell doctor got off lightly!
Second chances, best friend’s sister, brother’s best friend, if you love these genres, then this is right up your alley! This hot, sweet and sexy book is all kinds of right, and I thoroughly enjoyed it as I do all of Kaylee Ryan’s books. 4.5 Stars.
And, I thought I was never one to judge a book by the cover, but seriously, have you seen the guy on the front??
Holy cow Grady and Collins’s story was wonderful! Kaylee Ryan did a fantastic job conveying all the emotions that Collins and Grady dealt with. Grady was determined to win Collins and he did everything the right way to get to that point. A must read!!
This was a really laid back, perfect weekend read. If you are looking for a book that will make you swoon (Grady totally rocked). A book where the heroine has a back bone and doesn’t just give an easy second chance. Then this book is perfect for you. I couldn’t put it down once I started.
One thing I really loved about this book was getting to see the characters in their profession. Being a doctor and a nurse seeing them interact with a a patient was a huge plus. A lot of books don’t seem to do it but this author knocked it out of the park.
Overall, it was a really sweet and steamy best friends sister second chance romance. Collins and Grady were just awesome characters. I’m going to give it 4 stars because at times it felt like it took too long to get to the good parts. Lots of internal dialogue (which wasn’t styler bad) but at times made me a little board. I can’t wait to see if any other the other secondary characters will get a book. My vote is for Tabby. 4 stars #2OCCJD
Remedy by Kaylee Ryan is the story of Grady and Collins.
Grady and Collins had a night of passion but Grady slipped away. Basically scared of his feelings and the relationship he has with her and her family. But now three years later he is back ready to make things right and embrace his feelings but Collins is slow to trust her heart to him again. I enjoyed reading their story and seeing the interaction they had. I also appropriate this author keeping Grady true to his lady love while he was away instead of turning him into a man whore.
Loved their second chance at love!
Remedy is a second chance romance, unlike any other I’ve read. I mean, I really didn’t want to like Grady. The choices he made not only made him miserable, but also Collins. Their story could have very easily been one of sorrow, with no HEA, all because he made a bad decision, one he regretted immediately. But as the story continued, I began to see where he was coming from, and why he made those decisions. And, grudgingly, I began to see Grady less as a villainous ex, and more as the determined male he really is.
Collins, at first impression, is a good girl. The girl next door, who has a crush on her older brother’s best friend. But as you get further into the story, you see that she is really a deeper character than that. She has been crushed by a man, and didn’t really have any answers as to why. And when he shows back up in their hometown, she tries to stay away from him, to avoid further heartache, even though she still has the same strong feelings for him. She is also a very strong woman. She took a childhood tragedy that made an impression on her, and turned it into a career that will help others.
Grady isn’t what he appears to be at first glance. He is determined, and patient. He knows what he wants, knows what he did wrong, and isn’t opposed to begging for forgiveness. There’s so much more to him than I first thought!
This story has so many elements to love! I love second chance romances. I love brothers best friend romances. I love insta love. This book was everything all rolled in to one! In the end, I couldn’t help but love Grady. I didn’t think I would, but I did! His persistence and patience won me over. This book is a definite must read, and one that will be going on my re-read list!
Remedy is a sweet and emotional story of second chances, forgiveness, lost love, redemption and the desire to make all things right. This was a story I just fell completely in love with. The devotion in this book is so beautiful and heartfelt and I completely felt the words pour out of this book. Simply stunning.
A special mention needs to go to the cover. It is absolutely gorgeous, but more importantly, it fits this story perfectly. This cover is 100% Grady Carmichael and Collins Ward.
I loved how Kaylee Ryan gave us a prelude at the beginning of the story of what transpired and then was able to give us more of Grady and Collins’ history with little snippets from the past. I enjoyed their rediscovery of their relationship and to see how far they had grown. Their chemistry together was perfect.
For anyone who loves a second chance, best friends little sister romance, I would highly recommend this one. Grady is swoonworthy book boyfriend material, his persistence is touching and moving and he works hard trying to prove he is in it for the long run.
This is a fantastic story from Kaylee and definitely one that I will read again and again. A must read for 2019!
I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH DOC GRADY CARMICHAEL!!! Swoonnnnnnn…..
I love a good older brothers best friend romance. The little sister who has been in love with the guy forever. This was a little different than your typical brothers best friend story, and it is soooo darn good. By the way, I love this cover, it literally is a scene in the book!!! I LOVE IT!
Grady and Collins had The Moment 3 years ago, but Grady runs away, scared of how real everything felt, but he knew he couldn’t control being apart from the one girl he knew would change his whole world, his best friends sister, the girl he had always known there was something more that just that one title. So, he completely devastates her, and takes himself out of the equation, crushing her and leaving her bitter and hurt. But his plans after medical school is to win her back. He knows he’s in for a long rough ride, but this story is sooooo worth it all.
A second chance at the perfect perfect love between two who share so much deep feelings for each other. Dual POVs, which I absolutely love, and really good supporting characters. I completely LOVED this story. This story is a must read!!!
Remedy was a story I just fell in LOVE with. Sure you get girl has a big crush on her brother best friend, but one night together while in college changes everything, but Grady freaked out and left Collins after and it took 3 long years for him to come back to town and make things right. Collins not so sure if she can put her heart on the line again. What Grady has to do is Prove he is back and ready to fight and also show Collins he is in it to win it, to win her back and show her that what she always wanted is right in front of her all she has to do is grab it. Collins is the only Remedy Grady needs to make his world better. Great friends to love story.
Absolutely love this book. Grady is so hot. And the cover alone should make you want to meet this amazing man. I love the banter and chemistry with the characters. Another 5 star read from Kaylee. Collins is an amazingly strong and independent woman. The story line s great and I couldn’t put it dwon. Strongly recommend this as a 5 star must read.
huge fan of this authors books so every book she writes I get excited and look forward to it. This didn’t disappoint at all! Grady and Collins have family history living next door to each other since they were born. Collins love for her brother’s BFF was her secret. His love for her grew over time. Altho they both kept it hidden until one night they acted on it. Grady knows he’s gotta leave and breaks her heart. Fast forward 3 yrs and he’s back ready to win her back. What follows is a mixture of the past and present but throughout it all you never doubt their love for each other. At times it will break your heart as you feel their pain. This is a well written love story that will hook you from the first page. Great book Ms Ryan. Highly recommend this book.
