I’ll live in a cardboard box as long as it means I’m with you.”
It's been a while since I've read a Corinne book, but All Too Well reminded me why I LOVEEE her books! This book was a great start to this new series and introduction to all the amazing new characters, especially the guys from the Big Disc Energy ultimate Frisbee team! I have a feeling these men will be sweeping us off our feet!
“Sometimes the past belongs behind us, and other times we need to visit because there’s a part of us that isn’t healed yet."
The witty banter, the humor, and, of course, the characters were perfection. Lachlan and Ainsley were explosive chemistry, witty jabs, and the spice.......was definitely spicing!! These two and their unrequited love was killing me, but when the spark finally lit it was all over, no turning back. I loved seeing the relationship unfold and develop between them and Lachlan's daughter as more than just Auntie Ainsley.
"My love for you is more than I knew love could be. Each day I thank God that I fell in love with the girl next door. Your smile soothes my bad days. Your love healed my broken parts. You make me a better man, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
The side characters in this story were so much fun between Caspian, Lachlan's best friend, and Ainsley's brother, the Disc Jocks Lachlan's teammates, and oh man, the group text messages alone have me craving more of these men so I'm excited to take more trips to Ember Falls....more
“Life after tragedy is about surviving, healing, and moving forward. Everyone has a story, and this is ours.”
Well, my thoughts are a hot mess because “Life after tragedy is about surviving, healing, and moving forward. Everyone has a story, and this is ours.”
Well, my thoughts are a hot mess because this book wrecked me the only way Aly can with her words, her stories!
If you've read the Regret Duet, you'll recognize Truett West, and we finally get his story, but I did not expect the twists and turns that unfolded within the pages.... jaw-dropped! Truett and Gwen took me on an emotional rollercoaster that shattered my heart for the pain, anguish, and trauma they endured. Tears, so many tears I cried for them, but to experience their story, to feel their emotions, it was worth the heartache to take this journey with them.
“I’m gonna make love to you so you can never forget how much you mean to me. Then, I’m going to make you come so hard, you will question whether you’ve ever had an orgasm without me. And then I’m going to fuck you until the only thing you know for sure is that you are, and have always been, mine.”
If you read anything read this book, experience this story and let it live rent free in your head because it's going to grab hold and not let go!
“You’ve always been my future. But yeah, forever starts today.”...more

“We all carry with us the weight of our experiences. The hard things change us. Sometimes, they scar us. But it’s never all bad. They grow our empathy, understanding, and the way we care for others around us."
Catherine has hooked me with her words, her incredible stories, and characters that you fall head over heels in LOVEEE with and this book is just that so read this story experience it and fall in love with it like I did!
“Your heart is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced. Beautiful because it’s been broken. Those cracks let it become something else entirely. You can’t ask me to walk away from that after I’ve experienced it. It would be like living in the sun, only to exist entirely in darkness.”...more

"I feel like saying the words I love you just isn’t enough to fully convey how I feel about you. It’s not big enough. Not bold enough. I thought I had everything I needed before you came into my life. I’m a wealthy man, and I have a gorgeous kid and a great family, and then you came into the picture and knocked me on my ass.”
Oh my gosh, the sexy times between these two are hot! I love how Ryan was not afraid to show his feelings for Polly and wanted to spoil her because he could. As for Polly, the love she showed Jake just melted my heart and not want to use Ryan like most women do, she was such class.
