Summary:
Falling in love is easy.
Falling out of love is the hardest thing in the world.
And Elin and Ty Whitt are terrible at it.
The first time the local basketball star smiled at Elin, she was a goner. It was just so damn easy to fall for the dark-haired hometown hero with his charming smile and strong, athletic build.
Thousands of sleepy smiles, aimless drives down country roads, and squeaks of the backdoor after a swing shift later, reality hits. And it hits hard. Falling in love was definitely the easy part. Watching it break apart was impossible.
Through the tears, the second-guesses, the memories of a life built together, the world keeps spinning. With each turn comes clarity and hope—sometimes in the form of a pair of muddy boots by the back door or from the words of a wise friend.
When Ty shows back up with a new found determination to put his family back together, Elin's torn between the fights of the past and the possibility of a new start. This is the man that holds her heart, the man she loves beyond anything else. But this is also the one person in the world that can cause her the most pain.
Life’s not always easy. Love’s not for the faint of heart. But with life comes lessons and Ty and Elin have the scars to prove it. But it's their love written in those scars that will hold them together … or break them apart.
This was a fantastic book! This is my first Adriana Locke book and I have to say that I am very impressed! I was hooked from the first page. I wanted to know what happened between the two main characters to make them act so awkward and angry towards each other.
This book ripped my heart out over and over! I was literally wiping my tears away as I continued to read this. I loved all of the characters in this story. I usually just focus on the main characters but in this book I loved Elin's brother, sister in law, and Cord as well. The author wrote in such a way that made me care about every one in the story and the parts that they played in the lives of Elin and Ty. They each had a unique personality that made me interested in what they had to say.
There are a few hard topics in this book but I believe that they are things that many people can relate to. I think that is part of the reason why I loved this book so much. I could relate to Elin and her struggles because I am going through something similar. I felt that the issues between them and the ways that they reacted to them were realistic.
There is an event that takes place towards the end of the story that I felt that the author foreshadowed but I also felt that it was unnecessary torture for the main characters. I don't feel like it was necessary for the event to happen. The book would have been amazing without it.
I also don't understand how Ty could have possibly changed so much in a few weeks time. The author never really specifies exactly how long he was gone but it seems unrealistic for him to change so much in that amount of time.
Overall, I felt that this book was well done! I would definitely read more from this author!
