You Are the Reason

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

There's a choice in everything I do, and that one choice can change my life forever.

Falling in love with Lacey Evans was a choice I didn't even have to make four years ago. One look at her and she had my heart. I had the ring. I was ready for my forever, but when she was given the opportunity to chase a dream, she didn't choose me.

She left town without a word. I didn't get a choice. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

After two years away, she shows up at my father's funeral and tells me she's back for good. Now I'm faced with the realization that although I'm hurt, confused, and frustrated seeing her again, I'm also still in love with her.

All I want, all I've ever wanted is her, but there's only so much heartache I can take before I break. And when Lacey fractures my heart with another crushing blow, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to withstand the pain this time.

Leaving was once her choice.

Will letting her go for good be mine?

★★★★☆

Lacey and Graham were together for years. She had dreams of being on a TV show so she left when she was accepted. She left him behind when she left. Now she's back and things are different. I love it when both parties think they know how the other one feels when they don't have a single clue. She is so sad and all he wants to do is help but he doesn't know how. He's beyond sweet with her. Lacey and Graham both need time to process and go through what happened with each other and not alone. I will admit that I did cry while reading this. You will need tissues. I enjoyed this.
