Written with You by Aly Martinez is the second book and the conclusion to her brand new The Regret Duet . Aly Martinez manages to write some of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever read. Filled with every single feeling on the spectrum this story finally answers so many questions raised in book one. The story of sisters, an abandoned daughter, a crazy and murderous father, a young boy hero, and the love that saved the most unlikely of families. There isn’t much I can write about the story itself without revealing spoilers and this isn’t a book to be spoiled. You should read this and experience everything in exactly the way the author means you to. Powerful, heartbreaking but ultimately there’s a very hard-earned happy ending. I loved this! Enjoy!
Simply perfection that will touch your heart. Stunning conclusion that answers every question that ran rampant through your mind as the characters lives continue to change and watch by standing helpless. Great story that will draw you in with each word.
Phenomenal absolutely phenomenal!!!!
This conclusion is everything you want it to be and so much more!!!
These characters, this story is one that will stay with me for a long time. I have to say it’s my favourite duet from Aly and that says a lot.
Rosalee God I could eat her up. She is the quintessential 4 year old. I just love her. I hope she gets her llama farm one day. Too stinking cute.
There are so many great moments in the conclusion, some will make you gasp out.loud and other will make you laugh. Aly also never forgets to give us those swoon worthy moments as well.
I love that after reading all of Aly’s books she can still shock.me and keep me in the edge of my seat.
I look forward to more stories from this amazing writer.
Thank you for your review.
Edit
What a surprise, Aly Martinez blew my freakin mind…AGAIN!!! Written With Regret, part 1 of The Regret Duet, left you with a holy cow moment, then left you hanging. But this amazingness, part 2, the finale, the end, whichever you want to call it, will twist you up, make you scream at your kindle (which, yup, I did, at my phone, in an empty classroom on my break…good thing it was empty lol) and just completely mess with your head and emotions. Blown. Away. Never ceases to amaze me the epic stories that come out of Aly’s mind. Again I bow down to her awesomeness!!!
Speechless!! This book left me without words. Written with You was more than I could have ever hoped for in a conclusion to Written with Regret. That cliffhanger blew my mind. It was a twist that I never saw coming and I thought that was the only one in the duet. Man oh man was I wrong.
After reading this book, I was left speechless. I loved this book more than words can say. Aly’s writing is absolutely breathtaking. The Regret Duet has sealed itself has my favorite book this year! (Yes i know its 2 but I don’t care if I’m cheating lol) There is no way not to be in love with these characters. Everyone is amazing, the storyline is truly unique. There is pain and heartbreak, but also love, healing and forgiveness. I know without a shadow of a doubt that this duet will be one I can’t get out of my mind.
If you haven’t started reading these book, drop everything and get time. You will not be disappointed!!
Hardley and Willow’s story is complicated but the rest of their story is explained in this book. Caven has always been connected to both in different ways. Both sides are keeping secrets but what will happen when the secrets are revealed?
HOLY S#|+! AGAIN! A whirlwind of emotions!
I don’t know how I kept from flipping to the end to see what was going to happen, but it wouldn’t matter anyway because the “OMG, NO WAY” and WTF” happens throughout the entire story. This story doesn’t have twists..it’s a “Tornado of Shocks.”
I am in awe at how Aly Martinez comes up with these unique storylines. Amazing!
Written with you is the second part of the Regret Duet and I am just as lost for words to describe this feeling of wonderment as the I was with Written with Regret.
It’s suspenseful, adorable, funny, passionate, captivating and UNPREDICTABLE! It brings out every emotion possible. I LOVE IT!!!
All I can say is you need to read this!
I am truly annoyed that I have a job which made me take a break from reading this book straight through! I absolutely loved it! It has feelings, sex, love, suspense, and a crazy plot twist that I did not see coming. I wish there was more to read about Caven and Willow, I loved them both. Great book!
Written with You is book 2 in The Regret Duet, and boy was this an epic conclusion!
“Because life isn’t lived as a whole. You aren’t given a hundred years all at once. Time is doled out one very manageable second at a time.”
While it’s only been a few weeks since I finished Written For You, it felt like an eternity waiting to find out what was going to happen after the craziest cliffhanger I’ve ever read. And Aly Martinez definitely didn’t disappoint! Not only did she deliver an incredible conclusion, but she also threw in a few more insane curveballs just to seal the deal.
Picking up immediately after that shocking revelation, readers are filled in pretty quickly which is pretty good considering my heart was going a bit crazy. In fact, I don’t think my heart stopped racing the entire book. This story was a rollercoaster of emotions and I couldn’t put it down. The writing was amazing, the characters perfectly developed, and curveball after curveball was thrown out keeping me on my toes and ensuring I never forget how fantastic this story is.
With an off the charts angst level, The Regret Duet is an incredible ride and I highly recommend starting it immediately!
Epic ending!
Wow! It’s hard to put into words just how amazing this story is. I picked this book up and literally didn’t stop reading until the end. Caven is caught up in such a web of lies..you will never see what is coming. The surprise twists in this story will leave you turning the pages until the end. Aly Martinez has written a brilliant duet..this is one to cherish.
What a truly epic duet this has been. I’m not going to say much, other than Aly Martinez is a master of the WTF moments. An intense and twistylicious read, this had me on tenterhooks throughout. This really was a great read and I highly recommend this duet.
I was provided with a copy of this book from the Publisher; there was no inducement or obligation and I opted to leave a review.
Written With You by Aly Martinez is book two in the Regret duet. You have to read book one in order to follow where this book takes Caven and Hadley’s story. But trust me…you WANT to read BOTH of these books!
I fell in love with Aly Martinez’s stories way back with her On The Ropes series. (And, yes! You DO want those books too!) She has a talent for weaving a beautifully broken romance story with a twist of suspense added in. Written With You did not disappoint, either. Not that I thought it would. I’ve read enough of her books to know that they are more than worth the money you pay for them, and these two books certainly did not disappoint!
NICUnurse’s Rating: If you love an angsty contemporary romance, look no further than the Regret duet. It’s a love story born out of an unimaginable tragedy, with twists and turns you will not see coming. Hang on to your emotions, people! I give Written With You by Aly Martinez 4.75 out of 5 stars!
Aly Martinez does it again with the conclusion of the Regret series. I am completely blown away with the twists and ending that I don’t want to say much in fear of spoiling this but trust me when I say I was not expecting anything I read.
Written with You picks up where book 1 left off with a very interesting prologue that sets up Willow and Hadley’s relationship. I absolutely love Caven and Rosie they to me are the heart of the series but adding Hadley in the mix their life becomes so much better. There are a lot of secrets that are uncovered not just with Hadley but on Caven’s side some we know, maybe even guessed but trust me when I say I didn’t know half of what I thought I did. The writing is fast paced with a great build up that will keep you engrossed until the very last page, and with what it seems like every Aly Martinez book I read leaves me wanting more with these great characters. (She gets me every time).
All in all, if you are needing a new series to read then trust me run don’t walk and get the Regret Duet.
Loved Hadley Banks and Caven Hunt’s story! Rosalee, four year old princess extraordinaire, will steal your heart! This is the riveting conclusion to their story. Aly Martinez knows how to weave a plot that will keep you on your toes. I loved every minute of this read! 5 stars
4.5 gripping stars
This is the second part in this amazing duet and if you haven’t read the first part Written With Regret then i would tell you to read that first as this one picks up straight where that one left off.
This conclusion in this duet will have you on the edge of your seat the whole way through, unable to put it down and Aly Martinez has put us on an emotional rollarcoaster as secrets and truths are revealed. I honestly never saw some of it coming. True Brilliance.
My emotions were put through such a ringer with this one. The heartbreak, the pain, the love and healing that Caven and Willow have gone through is imense. After everything they have been through since childhood they honestly deserve some happiness and peace.
I have to be honest and say this was one of my favoruite Duets from Aly and she is the master at them. I am truly excited to see what she brings us next.
5 Stars
Written With You by Aly Martinez is the STUNNING conclusion to The Regret Duet. If you haven’t read Written with Regret yet-STOP and go read it before reading WWY. It is hands down my absolute favorite from Ms. Martinez. Every part of this story was perfect-from the characters to the storyline, WWY was unputdownable! Full of regrets, lies, passion, and forgiveness, it really is one story you do not want to miss.
I can’t say anything about the actual storyline or characters because I don’t want to give anything away. But I will say that these characters grab hold of your heart and soul and do not let go. Both are strong, relatable, and multidimensional. The questions have been answered from book 1, and there are so many OMG moments.
If there was one word for this book it would be- PERFECTION. Highly recommend reading it!
Well, I sure didn’t see that one coming!! I mean, I had an a-ha moment in the middle of the story, but no way could I have prepared myself for that ending!! Written With You is such a brilliantly written story and an amazing conclusion to the Regret Duet. Seriously, this book had so many twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading. Just an incredible story that I didn’t want to end. I absolutely loved it.
Trust me when I say you want to read this duet. Let me rephrase that – you need to read it. It’s If I could give it more than 5 stars, I totally would.
After leaving off in Written with Regret with quite the twist/cliffhanger, I was extremely happy to find out that Written with You picked up right where we left off. While I would devour every word that Aly Martinez writes, no time for a reminder of the prior book…questions need answered, stat!
Once again, Martinez does not disappoint with her writing style, amazing plots and epic characters. I love that I can FEEL her stories, not just read them. It’s so easy to just GET her characters and it makes her books that much more amazing. Overall, this is an awesome conclusion to an awesome duet! Definitely something I recommend!

Holy crap! This duet was beyond amazing. The first chapter you will get many answers to your questions. I’m not going to give anything away. This book was flawlessly written and will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. There was a twist towards the end of the book that I didn’t see coming! Apologies that my words don’t come close to saying just how awesome this duet is!!
I could sit and ponder my thoughts on this book for weeks and still not come up with the most accurate words to express how absolutely amazing this book is.
Written with You is the second book in the Regret Duet and must be read AFTER Written with Regret. This book was gut-wrenching, emotional, angsty, suspense-filled and full of surprises until the very end. Aly Martinez’s duets have always blown me away, but this book was a whole other level epic.
Bottom line: You need to read this. The writing is superb. The characters are deep and the love story is so complex. The story line is brilliant and twisted. You will not be disappointed!!!
