Interesting family dynamics. I wish the author would have been more understanding about the male main character. What you go through as a child remains with you the rest of your life and even though you may understand it as an adult, when you look back, the emotional feelings are still that of a child. His brothers and sisters should have been more supportive of him .

Elena Aitken did it again with another great book, I thought it was kinda cool how there was a Complete ending to this Story.

Good read

And she has done it again!! Elena Aitken created a brand new story with new people and a new setting! And what a story it is! Chase and Annie are absolutely adorable, and I’m excited for the rest for the sibling and seeing what this new series brings! Hats off Elena Aitken!! A new must read!

I already know that this is going to be a fantastic series. The first book was so amazing and this family is so full of love and mystery. Chase and Annie were perfection from the very beginning. Parts made me heartbroken but ultimately the end made everything worth it. I can't wait for whatever is next

I love it when this author gives us another series to fall in love with. Never Let Me Go is centered around Chase and Annie. They are perfect for each other, with Annie bringing the sunshine to the grumpy Chase. I won’t leave any spoilers but I will say I loved reading how their story unfolded. I can’t wait to read the future books in this series and learn more about the Carlson siblings. If you enjoy small town romance, I highly recommend this new series. I received an advance reader copy of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Chase returns to Trickle Creek after he receives news of his fathers passing. Chase is forced to face his family that he left behind so many years ago. Annie is a struggling single mom to her nephew Grady. Annie’s sister has issues and is always leaving her son in Annie’s care. When Chase enters the cafe which Annie works he instantly falls in love with her. Annie sees Chase and remembers how much she liked him in their youth. As they start spending time together sparks fly, will they grow into a couple or will they go their separate ways with all the personal situations that are going on in their lives. I highly recommend this book. I love the storyline and how much chase and Annie go together. I can’t wait for more in this series.

Sweet story of a man who never felt he could fit in with his family and a woman who is desperately trying to create a stable family environment for her young nephew! In one sense, it is an interesting dichotomy. While Chase is blindsided by a clause in his father’s will which requires he stay in “the big house” his father owned, for six months or forfeit the proceeds of the will to charity, Annie is struggling to create a stable home environment for her sister’s son, whom she has (once again) left with Annie. Annie loves her nephew like he is her own child but making ends meet and giving up her own dreams is difficult. Watching how they both deal with what life has thrown their way, plus, of course, the romance that ensues between them, is, at times, heart wrenching. Annie is a very caring, giving person. Chase, at times, is closed off and has issues of his own to address. Their story is a wonderful balance between coming to terms with your past and hope for a future!
