About this listen
I grew up wishing on stars. My father taught me to believe in destiny, in magic, in happily ever after. Dreams were my scripture and the starry night sky was my temple.
Then mom stopped believing, left him, and took us with her. At the age of sixteen, I cashed in my dreams to pay the rent, pawned my destiny to keep my sisters together.
Now, seven years later, I'm returning home, grieving the death of my mother, and settling my sisters back into the life mom threw away. I never intended to stay. I don't want to deal with my father, who is so invested in the spiritual world he forgets the physical. I don't want to face William Bailey, whose eyes remind me of the girl I was, the things I've done, and the future I lost.
This would all be easier if Will hated me. As it is, I have to hold my secrets close so they won't hurt him more than they've already hurt me. But he wants to be in my life. He wants what I can't bring myself to confess I sold. He wants me. I find myself looking to my stars again...wondering if I dare one more wish.

Story
The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady's and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush - the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I've dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost... perfect.

Story
The first time I saw Brinley Knox, she was crying, draped in a ridiculous pink tulle dress for her sweet 16, and cursing the boy who’d broken her heart. I was the hired help, a teenage charity case. She was the daughter of the wealthiest family in Orchid Valley. I knew a girl like Brinley was off-limits. That didn’t stop me from kissing her. Or from promising that if she were ever mine, I’d never let her go.

Single dad Andrew Beckwith has already devoted his life to one girl - and as far as he's concerned, she's all he needs. The inked, rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. When Bell's mother walked out of their lives, Andrew vowed never to let another woman close enough to hurt them again. Amelia isn't just another woman. She's an independent, smart, and savvy businesswoman who doesn't have time for sex, much less love. But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly - and burn.

In the morning, she was gone and had taken my solace with her. I left for the military that day, vowing never to return to Pennsylvania. When my father dies, I’m forced to go home to bury him. At least I'll finally be rid of his farm, which is grown over and tangled with memories I've fought to forget. And that’s when I find her. She’s even more beautiful than I remember and has the most adorable kid I’ve ever seen. Years have passed, but my feelings are the same, and this time I refuse to let her go. They say you can't bury the past, and they're right.

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends. Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn… Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Working at The Park Inn together gives us a chance to reconnect, and seeing him with his little girl makes me long for the days when he was mine.

Return to Us

By: Corinne Michaels
Callie and William were in love in high school. Circumstances separated them for seven years.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I really wanted to not be frustrated with the FMC because of her past circumstances but she kept making one wrong decision after another as an adult. I don't blame her for the decisions she made as a desperate teenager who didn't know what to do or how to face her boyfriend BUT the FMC in the present in this story is a capable, grown woman who needed to put her big girl pants on. I can understand hesitating some before telling the MMC the truth, but her and the MMC were seeing each other regularly, having an intimate relationship. I couldn't feel sorry for her when she was worried someone would tell him before she could about the past because she had countless chances to tell him herself. Not only did she have chances, but the MMC implored her to open up to him and made it clear he wanted to be with her.
It rubbed me the wrong way that the FMC was willing to let him go forever instead of facing the past and telling him the truth. The whole, "he wouldn't want me if he knew", doesn't matter if you are leaving anyway. If you REALLY love him and want him, you be vulnerable, tell him the truth and try to work it out. If he can't handle the truth, then you know you did what you could. Her willingness to just walk away didn't make me very confident in her feelings for him.
Also, as the story progressed, it became obvious that the MMC didn't know the FMC anymore. It wasn't the past secrets that were the issue; it was the decisions the FMC kept making as an adult that the MMC was unaware of. At one point, when the FMC was thinking the MMC didn't know her because of the past, I couldn't help but think that she was right that he didn't know her, but it wasn't just because of her past. She kept him in the dark about everything. He was in love with her teenage self and had the wrong idea of who she was as an adult. She was even MARRIED and didn't tell him. The circumstances didn't matter; he had a right to know. Especially since the FMC thought the MMC was in danger because of her husband.
Overall, this was a well-written story, but I didn't buy into the love story. The FMC didn't have good reasons to keep the MMC in the dark and it didn't make sense why she would be willing to let him go if she loved him so much. "Loving him enough to let him go" didn't make sense in this story, in my opinion. 2.5 stars.

I LOVE Lexi Ryan Books but this female narrator killed it for me. NOT even close to being as good as Summer Roberts.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
All in all, these books are far from deep. It’s surface level lust and I haven’t felt invested in any of the characters or their lives. I listened to a book by S. L. Scott recently and actually cried at one point. Not a typical reaction for me, but that author had me so pulled into that love story, I FELT for the characters she created.
If you’re looking for a fluff story with some angst (which I also didn’t care about), give this book a whirl. But I promise, there are more intriguing books to be found on Audible. For some recommendations check out the Goodreads review app. The reviews on there are pretty straightforward and you can easily find new authors that are similar to ones you like.
For me, this chick is a hard pass. I don’t appreciate her view on love and relationships. I see a pattern for how she writes male characters and where some might say it’s realistic, it’s really just sad.
