Love Me Endlessly
Just like that it felt like something between us shifted. Time turned back and we were the two people from before.
Emery Harrison’s life fell apart two years ago. Lost in the midst of finding herself again routine car maintenance led her to a small locally owned auto shop where she found herself quickly swept up as part of the family. After her rapidly formed friendship with one of the mechanics becomes a friends with benefits situation Emery’s fears about her own brokenness overcame her budding feelings.
I didn’t have a lot left in me to give but she could have it all if she wanted.
Oliver Franklin is struggling under the weight of losing his grandparents and taking over their auto shop while still nursing the broken heart the love of his life left him with. When his best friend talks him into a double date, he finds himself face to face with the woman he never expected to see again. He would give anything to turn back time and get one more chance to stop her from walking out the door. Now he might get that chance.
This time Emery and Oliver are determined not to let their separate struggles overshadow their chance together. Will they get it right this time?

November 22, 2025I want to thank the author for providing an e-arc. It was much appreciated.
DNF'd on November 20th, 2025 at 101 pages (32%).
I wanted to love this book, I really did. However, there were some things that were just.... not it, for me.
1. This book felt like it needed to be split into two books. The first time at dating and then their second chance. The flashbacks don't really do much for the book.
2. The FMC was.....unlikeable, in my opinion. She broke boundaries, she was always whining about the MMC yelling at her, or how they needed to fight, or just.... were we supposed to see growth with her? I don't know, it didn't feel like she had any growth from the flashbacks to the current timeline in the 100 pages I read.
3. I wasn't rooting for the couple. At all.

ARC Review
Release date: 21 November
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

To put it simply, this book was beautiful.
The dedication alone was enough for me to know I was about to read something rather special. There is so much in this book that reminds me of my own experiences and it’s so nice to see yourself reflected back at you in the books you read, even if it is the sad bits.
The story handles difficult subjects with a grace and compassion that can only come from experience and empathy. The found family aspect in particular is lovely to read, the Christmas scene on the trampoline (when you get to it, this sentence will make much more sense), really struck a chord with me. Found family is a trope that appeals to so many of us that haven’t had the traditional community around us growing up, showing up for the people in your circle is the only way to live.
Despite the serious topics that form such an important part of this story, the love story itself is so well done. The yearning, the tension, the spice! Honestly it’s swoon worthy. I really recommend this book, dual timelines aren’t usually my cup of tea but I even enjoyed that element, it made sense for the story and allowed you to understand the tension between the two of them.
As always, check the trigger warnings, protect yourselves people.
Thank you so much for the ARC, it was a lovely read! @authorellieharpersmith

What a gorgeous read! I loved their cute-meet, how they both were so into one another and how sneaky these two thought they were!
We have our gorgeous plus size fmc who has PCOS (yay for rep) and our confident reformed player short king mmc who is just so fine. I love how reassuring, patient and caring this mmc is towards our lovely fmc as she navigates healing from a past relationship and how they go on a journey of character development together. Both have trauma and it is worked through during this book so make sure to check your trigger warnings. The PCOS representation is very accurate and so good! I loved how they both were so down bad for one another. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a cute second chance romance! I adored getting to see the first book couple (the fmcs are sisters!) and recommend reading this as a series!

Ugh, I do not even know where to begin with this review. I’ll say this... I loved the book. It was super raw and passionate and spicy and swoony and all those things we look for. What I was not expecting was how real it was. Even without connecting to all aspects of Emery or Oliver’s story, there was such a relatability. Ellie just did such a good job of capturing how our past influences our present and our future, the power of holding space for someone, and the importance of communication between partners. I just feel like Love Me Endlessly is unique to many other stories, because it showcases heavy content pretty realistically yet still holds that element of fiction. It’s powerful and I think that while you should definitely check the content warnings, it is very much worth the read. Would definitely recommend!

It’s so good!!!
I felt all the feelings!
I hate and appreciate how relatable this is! You can put in all the work and those voices still make their way in!
Love after trauma!
Friends to lovers!
“Just friends” to pet parents
He gets off by getting her off
Emery and Oliver both have years of trauma that shaped who they were when they met. The love they had for each other could not be resisted, even though they tried to be just friends!
I love how vulnerable and real this book is. It touches on heavy subjects in honest ways! It shines awareness to PCOS, while shining a light on other topics like allergies, grief, alcoholism, abuse and fertility struggles.
I am so glad I got an ARC of this book, I loved Love me Softly so much and this one is just as beautiful!!

I first off want to say thank you to the author for a copy of the eARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the premise of this book, getting to see how their relationship originally developed and how it impacted current day. I did struggle to find the chemistry between Emery and Oliver in the present day, it felt stronger between them in the past. I did enjoy the strong representation for plus size women who also have PCOS. This is not something I have really seen in other contemporary romance books.

Such a good read that touches on the struggles that the FMC goes through that affects her growing relationship. Loved the different POV and timeframes so we can see their past and current relationship. Only thing I was missing was a little piece of closure from when their relationship ended the first time, other than that I loved the story!

Emery is a school bus driver by day and aspiring chef by night who is very sensitive to food allergies since she deals with severe allergies herself. Oliver is a mechanic, who owns his family’s shop and is surrounded by family members that work with him. The story jumps from present to past as we learn about Emery and Oliver’s relationship now and then. They’ve experienced past trauma and grief that has created the situation they are in, but the longing, yearning, and care for each other is so potent throughout. This story is so REAL. Their struggles, challenges and joys are extremely genuine and I could feel what Emery and Oliver were feeling through every word Smith wrote. I loved this book so much. It was beautiful. Plus the mouth on this man...
