When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.I’d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an … veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was—pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.
Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.
Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.
If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.

So so good
Written With You is a great conclusion to the Regret duet. It’s sexy, funny, suspenseful and twisty. It had me glued to the pages. I read it in one sitting. While I loved it there were certain aspects of the relationship development and progression between the hero and heroine that didn’t sit well with me. That said I loved this duet and highly recommend it.

I cried, I laughed, I almost threw my phone across the room, multiple times, while reading the finale of Willow and Caven’s epic love story. And boy was it epic.
I never believe much in coincidences but do know things happen for a reason.
As much as I disliked Hadley, I believe she was meant to be part of their story. A connection that brought them together actually.
I don’t know how Aly does it. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the shoe to drop from the cliffie we were left in book one. Then finding out more web of lies and deceit.. wondering all the what if’s and how’s! I knew it was coming, I had a feeling of what it could be. Even so I was left shook. Thinking about it even know has my heart accelerating.
Book hangover at its finest. I was left completely annihilated. Emotionally spent. Ups and downs and ups. A bit of vertigo coming up too, lol. Would I recommend this duet? HELL YES I would! I would warn that they needed a good stiff drink before and after though. Lol.
I’ve been waiting for this book since I finished Written with Regret and Aly Martinez did not disappoint!! I wish I could give this duet more than 5 stars because it really has everything!!
What a great ending to an amazing beginning! The emotions, drama, and a jaw dropping twist makes this book on of my favorites this year!
Holy Moly! This duet was so freaking good! This book picks up where book one, Written with Regret, left off. I was so excited to finally get answers to all of my questions. I’m going to be very vague as to not give anything away with my review. In this book we find out which twin is which and why things played out the way they did. Not only did all my questions get answered, but there was a new level of suspense. New things happened that I didn’t see coming. This book kept me on my toes. I would think I had it all figured out and then BAM! I loved Hadley/Willow and Rosalee. Caven wasn’t too bad either. Aly Martinez really outdid herself with this suspenseful, action packed love story. I have already been Recommending it to my reading buddies.
Aly Martinez is the Queen of Cliffhangers! She has a way of writing stories that are spun so creatively that they keep you on the edge of your seat, just trying to figure out what’s going to happen next!
Written With You concludes Caven and Willow’s story. Despite having an idea of where I thought the story was going to go, I was thoroughly confused and had many “What?!?” moments throughout.
Caven became such an inspiration for single fathers- I absolutely loved the way he was with Rosalee!! And Willow- I cried for her and all that she went through. I rooted for them to really be able to be a family, free of secrets and guilt.
I highly recommend The Regret Duet!
5 It All Comes Full Circle Stars!!!
Having read all of her books, you’d think I’d be used to the jaw dropping secrets and scenes in a duet by Ms. Martinez. Yeah, not so much!! If you read Written With Regret you know we were left with a doozie of a cliffie that just had my eyes bugging out and mouth hanging open.
Well, this book picks up where we left off and this secret is addressed pretty much head-on and there’s twists and turns in this book that had me reeling. Caven and Hadley have a huge hill to climb to hopefully get to their HEA.
I’m not sure how my nerves lasted throughout this book. Ms. Martinez has written a gripping, suspense filled story that I found myself white-knuckling my kindle it was that intense. The fact that Caven continued to hold onto a secret longer than I thought he should’ve just added to the nail-biting action. Once all the secrets are out in the open this book just moved at a rapid pace. There’s action, emotionally charged scenes, love unlike any either of our H/h have seen before and an ending that once again left me gasping!
If you’ve not experienced the brilliance of Ms. Martinez’s story-telling capabilities this is the perfect place to start. Her writing is sharp, concise, stunning in its character and scene development and she’s never let me down by delivering books that capture me, my heart and all my emotions from the very first page.
5++ Stars!
WHOA! If I felt like Written With Regret blew me away, Written With You DESTROYED me! I was a mess while reading this book. ALL the emotions! I was sooo invested in this story.
I loved Caven! I loved how he fought for everything he had. I loved how intense he could be one minute and completely swoon-a-licious the next. I could not get enough of him and Willow. Their connection felt so real. Despite their tragic beginning, Caven and Willow found the happy ever after they each deserved, and I loved every second of their journey.
From the very start, this duet had me captivated and on the edge of my seat devouring every word. Aly Martinez left me raw with book 1, but soothed my heart and soul with book 2. This author remains to be one of my most favorite writers. Her stories are EVERYTHING! I cannot wait to read what she writes next!

Gah!!! This book is everything! So well thought out and incredibly written. You have no idea where this story goes, you think you know but you don’t.
Oh my goodness, what an absolutely epic roller coaster ride of emotions, questions and twists! I loved how this book developed, adored the characters (and have high hopes for a spin off book?) and I absolutely could not put it down. A complete and utter knockout of a book, 6 star read for sure. Loved it.
Written With You is book 2 in the Regret Duet by Aly Martinez. I was so excited for this book after the ending in Written With Regret. I love this author and her writing and she doesn’t disappoint is this duet. This book takes you on a wild emotional roller coaster ride that you just need to put your arms in the air and enjoy the ride. I loved this book so much and the ending couldn’t have been better. I can’t recommend this book, this series and this author enough.
I swear Aly is the queen of duets! Between that jaw dropping cliffy at the end of Written With Regret to the stunning conclusion of Written With You, every word was simply spectacular!
Once again I fell heart and soul in love with her leading characters along with supportive characters. There are so many laugh out loud moments all the while your heart is bleeding and aching but also falling in love right along with theirs. Twists and turns had me scraping my jaw off the floor and just waiting for the other shoe to drop!! SO many things I did not see coming that just blew me away!
Written With You is a conclusion you will not want to miss!!! You will be unable to put it down and still thinking about long after the last page has been turned. A must read duet that will be sure to join your all time favorite most unforgettable reads! Bravo, Aly, for once again blowing me away with your meaningful awe inspiring words!
The first book ended on an impossible cliffy and ever since I’ve been anxious about the story which had left me hanging by a thread.
So much intrigue, so many secrets…whats and hows and whys have been pummeling my brain for the past month.
This book gave me all the answers and then some. something which I could’ve really avoided knowing. But Aly writes a story as a package deal, take the bad and the ugly with the good.
“My emotions were an ever swinging pendulum. The highs were high when I found relief in the entire situation. The lows on that pendulum was so low that I swear I could feel my body being raked across the gravel ground.”
The sizzling chemistry being the highest of highs
The unraveling secrets that could potentially break baby girl Roselee’s heart, being the lowest
Thank God she has Jacob, the dreadful boyfriend who could kiss her ouchy and make it all better…daddy better book a container to Antarctica super quick!!
She’s the most adorable, inquisitive and innocent angel any father would be proud to call his baby girl. At times I wanted to hug her tight!!
Meanwhile Hadley is having garangutan problems with Caven. Heart and head ramming into each other, can’t let the past go, can’t let the present overwhelm and no sight of future
”Love is an impossible game. Especially when only one person knows the rules”
There were dreadful lies threatening to destroy all lives, from Malcolm to Roselee and everyone in between.
The stonishing twists made my jaw drop and the end…..Omg the end. My heart just fell out of my chest!!!!!
Very tautly written, evenly paced. Equal mix of adorable and heinous, powerful emotions and passionate reprieves, I loved to have experienced it
“Sex, Kids and Quesadillas” and all the things in between
*gags * carrot cake with fries and pretzels with cheesecake not included
4.5 stars for Actions, Consequences and Unorchestrated Coincidence
Written With You is the compelling epic conclusion to the Regret Duet by Aly Martinez. This story completely blew me away. I thought I was in shock and awe when I read Written With Regret but book 2 was simply of the Richter scale. Aly managed to keep me on my toes until the very end. The twists and turns this story takes just didn’t let up. Book 1 finished with a total shocker and this continued right on through chapter 1 in book 2. Then when I thought I had recovered from the initial shock, wham I was hit with another, and they just kept on coming.
These painfully broken and beautiful characters just melted my heart. I loved them in book 1, and reading how their story develops, was just awe inspiring. You just wonder how two people’s lives can be so intertwined in the tapestry of life that even after decade’s fate has always had a plan for them. Star-crossed, I think so.
The main themes of this story are love and loss, overcoming adversity, as well as accepting and seeking forgiveness. It truly is a beautiful complex read that if you start I guarantee you will be hooked. I took a chance on Aly Martinez’s work and I am so thrilled that I did. The Regret duet is a magnificent read (which is now complete so no waiting lol). It is an intensely emotionally charged read that is also super sexy. This is one duet you will never REGRET.
Written with You by Aly Martinez is the highly anticipated conclusion to the Regret Duet and I am beyond ecstatic that the wait is finally over! This extraordinarily talented author always manages to keep me on my toes every step of the way with her beautifully captivating storytelling ability. The twists and turns she throws at her readers manages to send me right over the edge where I find myself free falling into the unique world she has created.
This emotionally captivating journey between Caven Hunt and Hadley Banks was filled with angsty as f*ck moments, an ultimate redemption and a beautifully heartwarming love story that was pulling at all of my heartstrings. Their journey is not an easy one and readers will need a box of tissues to dry their tears. My heart is still aching days after devouring all the words and I am struggling to let this story go because these characters have wholeheartedly engulfed my every thought and emotion.
This was the perfect conclusion to the Regret Duet and Aly Martinez is without a doubt the queen of duets in my eyes! Written with You is hands down worthy of a THOUSAND stars and I hope that you all love it as much as I did. Caven, Hadley, and little Rosealee will always hold a special place in my heart and maybe even yours as well!
The second book in this duet was an emotional roller coaster with just as many surprising twists as the first book. I absolutely loved this story from start to finish.
