The One For You

In Roni Loren's The One for You, the fourth installment in the Ones who Got Away contemporary romance series, this loveswept romance novel is so gut-wretching and tear-jerking from start to finish. In high school, Kincaid Breslin and Ashton Isaacs were best friends who looked out for each other, and survived a high school massacre during prom night. But while they mourned their lost friends, they've crossed the line once in a one night for passion. Now twenty years later, Kincaid is a real estate agent and made a name for herself when she brought a farmhouse with high hopes to turn it into a B&B someday if she could afford to turn it around someday. Meanwhile, she'd been unlucky in love throughout her life and loved working in the bookstore that became her home. Ashton Isaacs is  best-selling thriller writer under the name of Ashton Stone, and returns to his former stomping ground while he was dealing with writer's block. But when he ran into Kincaid, old feelings and flashbacks from the past resurfaced--and that included living and escaping an abusive home.  With the challenge of modernizing their bookstore before it's sold to a new owner, they talk about the past, on what really happened on that awful night, and harbored secrets were out in the open. And in the end, grab a box of tissues when this couple had found each other with an emotional roller coaster ending.

This was a fantastic and emotional heart-wrenching contemporary romance about second chances in love and second chances to follow your heart. I instantly cared for Kincaid on how she survived living with her mother and how she dealt with a hardship with the high school massacre and dealing with so much heartache with everything with Ash. I also liked how Ash changed his life around and took the plunge to tell Kincaid on how he'd really felt about her, no matter how hard it was for him. I liked the Lone Acre small-town Texas location with great scenic settings from the farmhouse to the bookstore and beyond. It made it feel so surreal. This would make you want to bawl your eyes out with non-stop action, plenty of profound drama, lots of romance, and a spark of intrigue.
