Still The One
(The Heartbreak Brothers #2)
by Carrie Elks
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?

Favorite Quotes:
She’d always been obsessive about saving. Maybe somewhere deep inside she’d known her mom was a ticking time bomb. It was a matter of when, not if, she’d detonate.
“I have a sprinkle next weekend. Would you like to come?” “A sprinkle?” Van asked, biting down a smile. It sounded like some kind of incontinence problem. “What’s that?” “It’s like a baby shower, but without all the gifts.” Regan shrugged. “After three kids I have almost everything I need. And anyway, Mrs. Fairfax said it would be bad form to ask for gifts for the fourth time around.” She blinked, then forced a smile on her face.
My Review:
I am enjoying this series, but then I always enjoy reading Carrie Elk’s work. She implants me so easily into her characters’ vortex, I was so thoroughly engaged I could smell the popcorn and taste the smores. The storylines were entertaining and smirk-worthy and cast with a bevy of quirky yet complicated characters who rippled with wit and snark. I seemed to have inhaled this tale and feel more than ready for even more Carrie Elk goodness with her latest missive idling on my Kindle.
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
Love the cover and the story sounds beautiful.
I loved the cover because he is not holding her. He can hold me and we can live happily ever after hehehehe
I think you are into sexy reads now.
I am eager to know what genre is left for you to explore.
I love the covers from this author.
Looks like I missed more than one Carrie Elk book – oops. Sounds fab. Great review.
