Love Me Once More (Mystic Point #1)
About
Second chances are for suckers.
Or so Ethan Thomas believes. A year ago, he walked away from his wife—the woman he has loved since he was ten years old—after believing she betrayed him. Since then he’s settled in his hometown of Mystic Point, Connecticut among old friends, with a new job and a jaded outlook on life. As long as he can keep his estranged wife Lainie out of his mind, he has a chance to live contentedly, if not happily. Happiness is overrated, anyway.
Lainie Thomas has spent the past year in a solitary confinement of her own making. She once had everything—a successful career, a home in a big city, and the man of her dreams. But she took it for granted and ended up losing it all. Now she’s been given one last shot at redemption, one last chance to show Ethan she never betrayed him, one last time to convince him their marriage is worth fighting for.
But can she convince him to love her once more or is she too late to reclaim the happily-ever-after they both deserve?
Praise for this book
This book was so well done. I'm a sucker for a good second chance at romance story, and this is one of the good ones. The author seems to have an amazing sense of what two people in this circumstance would be going through mentally and emotionally through the various stages as they try to find their way back to each other. It isn't easy because they are different people from what they were before the events that changed everything, and they are at different places in their acceptance of responsibility and placing of blame. There are parts in this book that, if you get emotionally invested in the characters, will make you cry, just hoping that these two wounded souls can make their way back to each other. In particular, I thought the first near sex scene was brutally honest about where they would have been at that precise point in time.
I received this novella from Cate. It is a great start to the whole series. This novella will elicit so many emotions that you will never know what is happening to you. I can’t believe a romance novella can also make me cry.
A Right Hook Straight to the Feels!
If you're a sucker for second chances, you need to read Love Me Once More. Ethan and Lainie's story is a tug of war between hope and heartbreak that will have you rooting for love to win and save the day. The story shines in Cate Tayler’s touching and witty writing style. The story is sexy and saucy in the same way of Love Me Now and Love Me Like You Do. It made me smile to see Calista, Will, and Haley. I was giddy knowing what happens to them in the future after witnessing their happily-ever-afters. I can’t wait for the next book! Please say it’s Juliet’s story...But seriously, don’t make me wait long!
