My brother’s choice was to go to prison for killing the boy who assaulted his soulmate.

Story
When I was eight years old, Caven Hunt saved me from the worst kind of evil to walk the Earth. It didn’t matter that I was a kid. I fell in love with him all the same. But that was where my fairy tale ended. Years later, a one-night stand during the darkest time imaginable gave us a little girl. It was nothing compared to the pitch black that consumed me when I was forced to leave her with Caven for good. At the end of every fairy tale, the happily ever after is the one thing that remains consistent. It wasn’t going to be mine.

Story
When I was nineteen years old, I was faced with a choice that changed my life. Keep the safety of what I already knew or risk losing everything with the young, hotheaded soldier who stole my heart. I chose the wrong man, and for seventeen years, I paid in tears, blood, and shattered dreams for that decision. Now, there’s a man in my house, holding a gun to my head on the order of my ex-husband—given from his prison cell. That hotheaded soldier I was too afraid to choose? He’s now a six-foot-three wall of muscle who works at the country’s most premier bodyguard agency. I’ve always wanted him, but now, I’ve never needed him more. It’s the call I’m terrified to make. I’m sure he still hates me… Even though I’ve never stopped loving him.

That was all it took for me to know Elisabeth was my soul mate. Five years, countless infertility treatments, and the loss of our only son. That was what it took for me to lose her. One phone call, a mix-up at the lab, and a little girl neither of us knew existed. That was the hell it took to bring her back to me.

After all, he was there the day my world fell apart.

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.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

It’s natural to want the one you can’t have. And for as long as I could remember, I’d secretly wanted my brother’s best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didn’t look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated.

They say that all men are created equal. Well, that’s a blatant lie! I know, because I met God's gift to women in Vegas; I pretended he was my husband to get rid of another man. He took our fake marriage seriously, and it became his personal goal to consummate. He spoke to me in French, and I lied to him in German. His laughter was addictive. But I thought what happens in Vegas would stay in Vegas. Until it didn't.

Summary
From USA Today best-selling Author Aly Martinez comes an emotional new standalone.
Growing up, Ramsey Stewart branded my soul in ways time could never heal.
At 12, he asked me to be his girlfriend.
At 13, he gave me my first kiss.
By 16, we’d fallen in love, planned a future together, and had our eyes set on the horizon.
Love never fails, right?
But for Ramsey, it did.
Love failed him.
I failed him.
The entire world failed him.
At 17, Ramsey was convicted of killing the boy who assaulted me.
"Move on", he wrote in his first and only letter from prison.
"Start a new life", he urged.
"I don’t love you anymore", he lied.
There was no such thing as giving up on Ramsey. Love may have been our curse, but he was mine - then, now, and forever.
So here I am, 12 long years later, waiting for a man I don't even know to emerge from between the chain link gates.

This broke my heart
When I first read this book, I couldn't get past Ramsey going to prison. I couldn't fathom why it could happen and how Thea could be left on her own. I think this is one of my absolute favourites by this author, but who knows she never fails to disappoint anyway

Really enjoyed it
This was a quick pick for me when I ran out of books to listen to, but turned into a binge listen!
I really loved it! The storyline reminded me of the Something in the way series which I adored. Andi excellent as always and Jason Clarke is now officially on my list of favourites.
Would recommend!

Dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers
Reading several emotional books in a row is hard on the soul, I can tell you. But sometimes, the pain is what you crave. I wanted dark premises, doomed love and star crossed lovers. Well, I’ve been served.
The flashbacks, though, were adorable, even when the events weren’t always pleasant. And maybe that’s what makes Thea and Ramsey’s relationship so beautiful–they are crutches to each other, they support each other. They build a bubble around them, and when it explodes, it’s painful. And the present is a big delicate and difficult healing process until Thea and Ramsey reconnect.
It was such a bubble, though, that we barely see them interact with other people. Even Nora, Ramsey’s sister, is more a function than a character. The past is a collection of important moments, the various steps in their relationship–the first meeting, the move from friendship to relationship, etc. Their life outside is barely mentioned. Of course, that means we focus on Thea and Ramsey, and it makes their story more powerful.
The narration is amazing. Both narrators know how to express the depest feelings, and they cause many tiny heartbreaks. But they also offer witty and lively banter. Just know that you’ll need a box of tissues.

A Stunning Read
A beautiful story brilliantly narrated by two of the finest Narraters.
This is a story of a young love between a ‘broken’ boy and a ‘broken’ girl and how they deal with the ‘curve balls’ that life throws them and finally find an ending that's right for them.
Aly I loved listening to this book - a real winner for me!
I hope others think this way too.
I would definitely recommend this heartfelt story to other readers.

Love that is worth fighting for.❤️
Release is a second chance story. It’s a story of a connection of deep friendship that is made as children and then to lovers in high school. Life can change in a matter of minutes. Release takes us on a tale on giving that connection and love a second chance. Aly writes this story with heart. 4 stars for this story that made me laugh, cry, and swoon.
