Harley and I had our whole lives planned out, until her plans
changed, and those plans didn’t include me.After years spent trying to get the love of my life out of my head and repair my too-damaged heart, I thought I was finally moving on…but life sure has a funny way of letting you know when those best-laid plans are about to be turned upside down.
My entire world was rocked when Harley unexpectedly moved back to Oak Springs. Every miserable moment I’d spent trying to get over her and every hour I’d wasted trying to erase her from my life came back to haunt me the minute she walked into my office, fear in her eyes, and asked me for help. Would I…or better yet, could I walk away from her this time after all that she had put me through?
What I really needed to know is would I be able to forge ahead with the future I had so meticulously planned—one that didn’t include Harley—or will her return finally open my eyes to a future full of endless possibilities?
“The silent resignation on her
should’ve been my first warning, but I was only imagining our future…all the
while choosing to ignore our present.”
Kelly Elliot.
Those are really the only two words you need to hear from me to know that this
book was amazing. Kelly Elliot has a talent for writing love stories that pull
you in and make you feel every emotion possible. Harley and Tripp have a second
chance at love and you better believe I wanted to be there for every minute of
it. I haven’t read the other books in this series, but Harley and Tripp made me
want to know about these other couples and the other family members.
“All my problems would have to
wait. Tonight was all about the perfect love story-two characters who were
destined to be together forever. Something I thought I knew about…once upon a
time.”
Let’s start with
Tripp. The poor guy had the women of his dreams and on the path to the career
he always wanted. The only thing he forgot to think about it the woman he
wanted to make his partner. Tripp lost the love of his life in one night and it
closed him off. I loved Tripp right from the start. He is sensitive, loving,
and down right hot. Don’t get me wrong, he makes mistakes, but he pays for
them. Tripp grows and matures. He becomes his own person with the support of
his family and Harley. Tripp is also stubborn which makes him frustrating
during a lot of this book.
Harley
frustrated me. She left the love of her life behind to save him from himself.
Which is a very selfless thing to do but I was sad for Tripp. No matter how much
understood why Harley did what she did. Harley was a strong character for the
most part. She owned a lot of her own problems. Harley wasn’t a character that
tried to push the blame on Tripp or anyone else. She took ownership and that
was impressive. The only thing that bothered me about Harley was that I don’t think
she really fought for Tripp. She explained herself, she told him how she felt,
but then she left everyone else to fight for their love story.
“Its’s always been you,
Harley. Always. And it will be for the rest of my life.”
I started
reading Kelly Elliot when Wanted came out. I fell in love with her writing then
and it has only grown and gotten better. There used to be things that I needed
to over look to enjoy her books but now I devoured every word. She created
tension that both drove me crazy and kept me in the story. I think I may have
hidden my phone and read during work. Oops #sorrynotsorry. Kelly Elliot will
always be worth it. This story will have a special place in my heart. It
definitely went to the top of my second chance romance books. The story was
sweet, romantic, but also had some steamy moments. Read this. Like yesterday.
