Come Back for Me: a second chance romance

Come Back for Me by Corinne Michaels is the first book in the Arrowood Brothers series. One night, eight years ago, Connor Arrowood was at a crossroads. He was leaving one life behind and heading toward another. Deeply hurting, he finds a woman who is also deeply hurting. They have one night together. No names. No promises. When the morning came, she was gone, he left for boot camp, vowing never to return to his Pennsylvania hometown. Connor is now at a crossroads once again. His military career is ending, his father has died and he is forced to go home and settle the estate with his brothers. Once he’s there, he meets his neighbor, he immediately recognizes the woman he has been dreaming about for eight years. Ellie is stuck in an abusive marriage, desperate to escape but she is unsure how. A series of events brings them together again, Connor vows never to let her go again. But they both hold secrets that could tear their lives apart for good. 

Come Back for Me is a sweet and powerful romance with hard hitting topics. There were harrowing scenes of abuse which broke my heart and cried for Ellie. I cheered as Connor lovingly rescued her and gave her the space to heal. After her abusive husband is arrested, that story is put into the background and the story focuses on Connor and Ellie’s love story. There were a few steamy scenes and deeply emotional scenes. The characters are real and relatable. The emotional scars Connor and Ellie carry are impactful even years after the events which caused them. It is a story of second chances at love, at life, family unity and finding strength in yourself and with others. I enjoyed Connor and Ellie’s story. I enjoyed that the story leads to the next couple’s story. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series. After finishing this story, I immediately added the rest of the series to my book wish list. I highly recommend Come Back for Me. 

Come Back for Me is available in paperback, eBook, and audiobook
