Except there was one problem.
Home was where Reed would be…

But will she ever have the strength to forgive Reed?

“I
will never hurt you again.”
Let me start right off by saying that I absolutely
LOVED this book! CA Harms is the type of author whose books get better and
better. She evoked tons of emotions from me from the very beginning all the way
through the very end. I was hooked and did not want to stop reading this
wonderful book. Reed and Kori’s story was real, it was heartbreaking, and hands
down a must read. It showed what it means to forgive, heal, and to learn to
love again. This is a second chance novel in more ways than one. Not only did
Reed and Kori get a second chance at being together, but it was also about
getting a second chance at a happy life in general…about learning how to let go
of all the pain in the past and move forward onto a bright future.
You see, Kori had gone through a type heartbreak that
I don’t ever want to experience. She was in a happy relationship with a guy she
thought she’d spend the rest of her life with, the father of their expected
child. Everything was going great until tragedy struck. Kori lost the man she
called the love of her life the same day she gave birth to their son, Rhett.
Unable to handle such devastation, Kori went back home. Back to the one place
that years prior had made her flee. The place where her ex-boyfriend, Reed,
lived.
Kori had been madly in love with Reed once upon a time,
but they were young and Reed was flat out stupid and immature. So he did what
most scared guys do. He cheated on Kori which made her leave town and never
look back. Until now.
“Maybe
one day you can forgive me.”
Some people never really forget their first love and
when it’s TRUE, deep, riveting love…. they simply never get over it. Despite
Kori’s efforts, THAT was Reed for her. Yes, she was madly in love with Blake
(Rhett’s dad) but life had a funny way of working out. To me, it seemed like
Blake had come into Kori’s life to show her that she could love again despite
being crushed in the past. He even left behind for her a wonderful gift that
made her life complete in way. He gave her a son.
So now, back in town, seeing Reed sparked up all these
different feelings for Kori. She was passionately angry all over again. But funny thing….hatred is not the opposite
of love, it’s indifference, so the fact that he still affected her so much said
A LOT. Kori tried avoiding Reed, but in a small town, there’s only so much she
could do. And then…. The inevitable finally happened. They decided to give
things a try.
“Baby,
I have waited for a second chance with you. I won’t lie and say I didn’t try to
get over you, but it was impossible. There’s only one Kori, one girl who stole
my heart.”
Restarting their relationship wasn’t as easy as 1, 2, 3.
They had their fair share of obstacles, but man! Reed sure made it worth it. I
swooned…a lot. Seeing how much he loved
Kori and Rhett made my heart melt. He was such an amazing father to Rhett. He
loved him like his own but at the same time helped Kori keep the memory of
Blake very much alive for Rhett.
All in all this was a fantastic and profound read.
Kori and Reed’s journey was not easy. It was emotional, full of ups and down,
but oh, so worth every minute. I am
seriously in dire need of the next book, Finding
Gavin. It’s Maria and Gavin’s story and so far, I just know it will be just as
good as Forgiving Reed, if not
better. FIVE STARS!
“You’re
it for me, everything I want. This is real for me, Kori, everything. I want it
more than my next breath. You make me happy, both of you.”
