Publisher's summary

Ten years ago he broke her heart. Now he's determined to win her back.

Nobody expects to meet the love of their life on their first day at school, but from the moment Tanner Hartson set his eyes on Savannah Butler, she stole his breath away. She was beautiful, wild and free. And though her life was hard, she made everything feel easy.

As they grew up, they were best friends. Then sweethearts. And finally lovers. Until he broke her heart in the worst way.

They haven't spoken for the last ten years. But now she's returned to their small home town and he can't fight the intense attraction that keeps pulling them together.

He wants her back. And this time he won't take no for an answer.

Doesn't true love deserve a second chance?

Contains mature themes.

Love wins again

What a perfectly executed second chance romance. I think Tanner and Van's love story is the sweetest so far. I'm s sucker for grand gestures from cheesy movies, I had the biggest smile during that part.

Also it was nice to see how Van was able to work through her shame and realize she wasn't accountable for her mothers mistakes and poor behavior as an alcoholic. It's hard for some of us to come to terms with the fact that there is nothing you can do that will magically make it enough for your parents to change or face the errors of their ways. No matter how hard you try to push it and self sacrifice. It was sweet how Zoey was the one to point that out and that no matter what people say about your parents it's not a direct reflection of yourself and their opinions have no power over you unless you let them. Kids are great that way and we have a lot we can learn from them as adults.

That young love…

Tanner and Van were best friends since he knocked her down in kindergarten. They went through a lot together then sacrifices were made and the friendship fractured. That was 10 yrs ago…now both are back home for various reasons and they are working on repairing their friendship. Will past hurts and secrets prevent their HEA? Love this second story in the series! Looking forward to more of the ‘Heartbreak’ brothers.

cute small town romance

Audiobook Read (Audible Plus)
Narrator: Charlotte Claremont

Cute small town romance, but I was a bit bored.
The one narrator for both POV's was not my favorite.

Narration is good!

I had to take a breather after finishing the book and writing this review. I was livid after reading about the reason that broke them up. That reason isn't even broached until near the end of the book, so I'm fooled into thinking that it's a love story. It's not. There is NO romance, just a pouting boy who now wants Van back, but not really since he made no attempt to find her in 10 years after he did her very wrong. Here's the story....Van and Tanner met in kindergarten and became best friends. They had plans to go to Duke together, graduate, and have a home and children, but it all went awry when Van's mother became pregnant, and she gave her mother the money intended to pay for school. She had to tell Tanner that she couldn't go with him, so she pushed him away to go to Duke, telling him she didn't want him anymore. He was so angry and tried to get in touch with her, but she didn't respond. At the first party of the semester, Tanner pouts and decides it would be a good idea to get drunk. The weak-willed, wussy-boy had no problem sleeping with another woman that night. Val has now realized her error that she shouldn't have pushed Tanner away, so she goes to Duke to ask him if they can start over again. He answers the door, is shocked to see her, but the damage is done when his sex partner appears at the door wearing nothing but his shirt. He's in shock, freezes and can't say a word to Val, and lets her run away, crying. Does the asshole even try to run after her? Nope! Gee, I guess he must not really have been too concerned or had any deep, abiding love (as he claimed) for her. He calls, texts and gives up. I think he "probably" knew where she lived, but that would be too much work. For ten years they are estranged until Van comes home to take care of her little sister. They patch things up way too quickly and totally ignore the trauma of Duke. He brings it up, but Van doesn't want to hear about it so he leaves it alone. Finally, he gets some ball and tells her everything, including how the woman he slept with "meant nothing to me." How cliche and disappointing. From that point on, I didn't care to read the rest, because he showed remore, but barely. There was no grovel because what he did was "understandable, considering how he was lonely." There is a happy ending, but I don't believe in it. I can't recommend a love story without love.
Charlotte Claremont does a nice job with the narration. Her dynamic voice, nice inflection and good pacing work to bring this story to life.
