A single call is all it takes to drive artist Ti Russo into what she does best. Run. But hey, lying low in a beach town for a while isn’t so bad. Thanks to the distraction of playing consultant to a guy she’s determined to crack, she can almost forget about the past stalking her back home. But she never counted on the real danger being a picket-fenced life she has no business falling for.
Focus and self-preservation have gotten single dad Drew Anderson through the last nine years. With the threat of his shop’s foreclosure jeopardizing his daughter’s health care, the last thing he needs is a distracting hippie chick swooping in to shake up what he’s fought to protect. Including himself. The bank’s deadline adds enough pressure without re-risking feelings better left buried.
But as sparks flare and secrets escalate, the race against time propels Ti and Drew into a choice neither’s ready to make: Find the faith to surrender their past or forfeit their only chance to begin again.
Download Begin Again and escape into a sparks-flying, opposites-attract contemporary clean romance full of small-town charm, broken characters, and deep undertones of grace that’ll win your heart.
Happy Valentines Day today! I hope you all get to celebrate this day with people that you love. Love is always something to be celebrated. 💚 I've got a great book today with a fantastic love story!
I've really been looking forward to this book. Ever since I read the first book in this series, Write Me Home, and got a glimpse of Ti, I've wanted to know her story. If you haven't anything in this series yet, now is a great time to start. You don't have to read these books in order, but I would recommend it just for the sake of build up and history. :) And, this book is on kindle unlimited if you have that. yay!
I'm a fan of Crystal Walton because she has a gift for writing real, emotional characters who struggle, but keep moving forward. Readers will be able to find a bit of themselves in her characters.
I loved the opposites attract aspect of this book. It made for some great sparks between Ti and Drew who really are polar opposites in many ways. Ti radiates energy and confidence with a free spirit attitude. She also bottles up her pain and her past tightly within herself. Drew is a tightly wound guy. He carries many burdens on his shoulders and keeps things carefully controlled in order to stay on top of things. He is frustrated and has been operating in self preservation mode for a long time. In actuality, Ti and Drew are more alike than they think. They have many of the same hurts and frustrations, dreams and talents. They just handle them in different ways.
This story was a great emotional journey. I felt like I knew the characters and shared in their success and pain. The story unwound itself bit by bit so the build up felt significant. I was drawn in from the very beginning and couldn't put this book down.
Content: Clean, some kissing. Some references to drug abuse and prostitution.
