About this listen

From the USA Today best-selling author of Fisher's Light comes a "heartbreaking and hopeful" (AL Jackson) stand-alone romance about first love and second chances.

How much can a man take before he breaks?

A total of 1,843 days. That's how long I survived in that hellhole. They tried to break me, but I resisted. I owe it all to the memory of warm summer nights, the scent of peaches, and the one woman who loved me more than I ever deserved to be loved. Now, I'll do anything to get back to her.

Only Shelby Eubanks isn't the girl I left behind all those years ago. She's someone else, a stranger. My Shelby - my little green-eyed firecracker - would never give up her dreams, would never disappear into her mother's ambitions. But I won't give up on her. On us. I may be broken and scarred and not the man I used to be, but I will do whatever it takes to remind her of the story of us.

Loved this story!

The book is well written, your attention is caught up in the story, and it's captivating! But, the narrators were not great. Their opposite sex voices are terrible, and the female narrator drags out every word with a ton of voice fry.

Another awesome story by an awesome author!

You think you understand and know what’s going on.... but you don’t. Looking back, it’s like a V8 moment. I should have seen it coming. You can’t help crying one minute and smiling the next. Heart wrenching and heart warming all in one great story.

Wow. Definitely worth a credit

Excellent story, good narration...overall 5 stars because of the story.
So many books are so predictable. It’s so easy to see where they’re going. This one was different. The author did a great job keeping this story fresh.
I will be listening to more books by Tara Sivec!!
The narrators were okay. They weren’t terrible...they were just...okay.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book.

Too much sex

It was a great story line but a bit too descriptive in the sex parts for me.

Gripping Tale of Love & Loss

I found this book to be a heart wrenching story of true love & unbelievable loss, with true PTSD moments. Edward Thomas was a very enjoyable narrator; I liked his “new to me” voice; Devon Hales’ voice was not pleasant to my ears.

Overall, the book had too much drawn out, interminable, internal dialogue - I swear it took a chapter for them to walk across the room to each other - get there already!!

I know this is fiction, but I cringe to think our military boys could be manipulated into harm’s way this easily.

Deserves 10 stars!

I loved this book! it was fantastic. Excellent story with a couple of twists I wasn't expecting. The narrators did a great job. I would LOVE for them to narrate another Tara Sivec book together.
