Remember Me Always is an amazing tension filled contemporary romance that has quite an unusual premise. Penny Preston and Colton Crawford were always in love from childhood on. They were best friends as children and somewhere as they got a little older, they realized that they loved one another. They had a future planned out and once they were apart it all went wrong. Penny was in New York going to college and then, suddenly everything just changed.
After five years she returns back to her hometown in Alabama. When she sees Colton for the first time she finds that the world is not as clear cut as she imagined. Nothing made sense to her. The love of her life, the man that had been the boy she loved, did not even recognize her. He had changed, an accident had changed his life forever. He had lost his brother and his past.
The story is told from both Colton and Penny's viewpoint and it is an very emotional story. The writing is brilliant. The characters were so alive and so genuine, I was crying halfway through. I do not cry very often at books. But this book was just so real to my heart.
I hurt when they hurt, I rejoiced when they found happiness and I was puzzled by so many twists and turns that were driving Penny and Colton crazy, just as it was me.I admit that sometimes I was just banging my head with frustration over what seemed to be their outright stubbornness, but then something sweet would happen and I was right back in the thick of things with them. Rooting them on and amazed by the strength and character they both displayed.
This book is one of those emotional rollercoasters that you come across on occasion. Expect to be caught up in the sentiment and the raw gritty emotions of love gone awry. It is a mature story that has some heat in the telling of story. This is my first book by Angela Snyder. If this is an example of the heart she puts into her books, I definitely want to read more from her.

This guy was no "hero" he was a wimp and a hypocritical jerk. The female lead is probably one of the most pathetic females I have read in a long time.
Another book where he has a girlfriend (even if he denies it) for three years while she is celibate. I don't care about the circumstances of their situation but I truly didn't get why she had to stay celibate whilst he had a very physical relationship with another woman. Why do female authors write books like this with such weak female characters and double standards?! I had no respect for either main characters so I definitely will not read this book again.

So at the end of Remember me Always, I have to admit I'm more annoyed than anything else.
The biggest things to bug me: ( and these are a bit spoilery, so be warned)
The mom lies to the heroine, (and it's a pretty huge fucking lie,) and in doing so changes the course of the heroines life and the heroine barely reacts? They have like one shouting match, but the heroine is right back to dancing to her mothers tune pages later? I wanted her, the h, to be all kinds of mad, and angry, and pissed off, and instead the heroine seems very meh...whatevs about it all. It just didn't make sense/wrk for me.
The heroine seems to do all the chasing. Why couldn't the H fly out at the end of the book, to go get his girl? Why is she always the one going to him? It makes it seem like she's more invested in them, than he is.
The hero doesn't end things with his fuck buddy til almost 3/4ths of the way into the book. He keeps saying he should end things with her, but then she shows back up again. Add to this, he's a jerk for a good part of the book, and again, it seems like the heroine is more invested in the relationship ship than he is.
The hero getting his memories back was totally glossed over. It's a big roadblock to the HEA, and we don't get to experience any of it? Can you say letdown?
And lastly, (bigger spoiler here!)
The mom hates the H and h together but still helps them get back together? If maybe we'd been in the mothers head, or if there'd been more of a conversation between the heroine and her mother where we see her ( h's mom) come to the realization that she was wrong, maybe I'd have bought it then, but it ( along with a bunch of other stuff) seems glossed over.
So yeah.
2 .5 stars. There's potential in the writing style, but I was too irritated for most of the book to enjoy it.
Keep in mind though, that I'm in the minority, and a lot of other readers seem to like it, so my issues could be exactly that, mine.

I really liked this story and up to about 60% this book was going so strong that it still kept its 5 Stars with me even though within the last 40 % the forward and backward of the the leading characters started to annoy me. Somehow I wish the author would reconsider the second part of the book by adding maybe more external "forces" instead of the leads mindchanges

I believe that everyone has that one true love, that one love that will forever be in your heart. And that we will give up for that one person everything, even ourselves. For Colton, leaving Penny was the hardest thing he could ever do, but he loved her enough to let her go, knowing he could not be all she deserved. It's over so he thinks, until they cross paths and he realizes his love for her has not diminished but has grown stronger. Will he be able to let her go again? Or will he finally cave into his destiny of being with her forever.

The blurb got me really interested in the book; it was a new story, memory loss, and stuff so I had really high expectations for it.
And the Playlist at the end of the book was definitely a bonus. I loved it; it’s always a weakness for me when I find soundtracks in a book.
The book had a lot of good sides. The love that Penny felt was too moving and intense I felt her words. I could relate to her confusion and how she thought about her life. It just felt really close to me.
“A smile spreads across my face, and I can feel the butterflies fluttering in my stomach. As of this moment, I can’t remember the last time I was so happy. The bumpy road it took to get here was all worth it in the end, and I’m Glad I stuck it out and never gave up.”
And the pain that Colt felt was just so intense I teared up at some point; which doesn’t happen often.
“The pain I’m causing her eats at me like cancer, and I can’t get her out of my head. She consumes my every thought, and still, I can’t remember her. I stare at Penny for a few seconds, my eyes searching her face for answers. If we knew each other for so long and cared about each other so much, then why can’t I remember her? Hell, I can’t remember much of anything, but I sure do wish I could remember her.”
The extra bonus was really beautiful and cheerful. it was honestly my fav part.
But as for my opinion, I think the year gaps was really wide and just didn’t make much sense to me. Colt and Penny kept going back and forth a lot of times which was a little bit not that intriguing to me.
I think the synopsis is more than enough I don’t think I can write a summary without spoiling it.
Overall, the book is fairly good, but I expected more.

This was truly a love story with its ups and downs, with a very realistic feel. I love when a book makes me run imagery in my mind and plays in my head like a movie. Angela did a wonderful job in creating this love story! Once again, this was a book that played with my emotions establishing a love hate relationship with the characters in the book.
Colton and Penny were the epitome of real high school sweethearts in ever since of the phrase. When Penny goes away to college, they vow to make it last forever but life gets in the way. Five years go by and Penny returns home to confront the love of her life, Colton James, who broke her heart in a million tiny pieces.
Colton was determined to wait for Penney but tragedy strikes and changes his life forever. After recovering from a horrific accident, he has forgotten everything prior to the last 5 yrs, and this includes Penny too. This story has it all…love, lies, betrayal, deceit, terrible misunderstandings and then, sweet redemption.
I really enjoyed this book along with the roller coaster ride of emotions that it gave me!

Oh dear lord another book from this author and I couldn't be happier. I've read other books from her and let's just say that I'm addicted and can't help to feel super happy about this amazing chance.
Angela Snyder has a hot and spicy writing that can make you blush from the intensity of the story but can make you scared and anxious at the same time. Let's just say that her latest books left me anxious and I can't help for the next one... Just saying that you need to see what I'm talking about...
Remember Me Always portraits Penny and Colton's lifes.
It all started 5 years ago when Penny left for college. She wanted to follow her dreams and then get back to her hometown to be happily ever after with her best friend Colton. But he didn't follow with their plan to talk and visit and that broke her heart. But stubborn and determined like she was, she just needed to keep studying and that wouldn't change. After 5 years she got back home and things are turned upside down.
Colton saw his girlfriend left for college and that was the hardest thing he had to do but when we truly love someone we need to let them follow their dreams. He can't forget her and intents to keep in touch until a tragic accident sweept all his memories. Everything prior to the accident he can't remember so he can't remember Penny or the life and love they shared.
And now what? Can he remember her? Can the love they once shared get back to them? Can they feel it or forget it forever?
I was stunned when I finished this book. I was shaking from the intensity of it.
The plot is amazing and the timeline worked perfectly and left no doubts in between chapters. The story progressed in a way that left me anxious, sad, mad, happy, hopefully and hot...
Lets just say that there were parts of the book that I wanted to get into the story and hit someone... Hit them so they could wake up and smell the roses... Jesus... The chemistry between the characters is beautiful, intense and a with little conflit between now and then.
I was overwhelmed with everything and I couldn't belive in what was happening.
The best way to describe this book is telling you to imagine yourself on the most high and bumpy rollercoaster of your life...
There isn't one word that can describe this book. Lets just say that on a scale of one to ten I'll give it an 11 for sure.
Angela Snyder I've already told you that you are amazing. Your books speaks for themselves and I want everyone to read them to find our what I'm saying.
And now what will you present to me? A drama, a suspense or a hot as hell story???
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Remember Me Always by Angela Snyder a fab five star read. This is such an amazing story; how much would you do to get back the love you once had. That’s a question I hope you never have to answer, but it’s something that Penny has had to face. Angela Synder writes story’s that will keep you hooked, this one in particular will keep you captivated from the first page to the last. It is a stand-alone read, that you won’t be able to put down.
Colton has a history that he can’t remember, but he doesn’t care by not remembering he can forget the hurt of his life. The only thing is by not remembering he also forgets the good stuff, the years with Penny as her best friend and then her boy. When we read his side of the story there is a depth and sorry that you feel heavy in your heart, the loss of a brother is something no one should face, but its dealt with in such a compassionate manner. Can Colton ever get over the loss and see the positive in life again?
Penny has her own story, and in it she shows us that she is a fighter of the highest order. The problem is will she be strong enough to fight for what she needs? Or will she just settle for what she wants? Penny was the one I wanted to reach in a pull out and take for drinks and give her a massive high five just for being her.
Angela Snyder thank you once again for writing amazing characters that I could put down.

Loved it!!! I laughed, I cried and I loved the happy ending. I can't imagine what it's like to be Colton and loose everyone and loose your memory of those you loved and loved you. But, I think if he had not blocked himself off from everyone, he might've remembered more earlier. OR he really needed Penny to come back into his life for him to open up. So happy for them, but would love to know what happens with Buddy & Shelby... Maybe a future installment. :)

You'll have read the book blurb so I'll just get on with my review. I LOVED this book. For me it is just between 4 and 5 stars (and it was one tiny little thing that prevented it being a solid 5 stars for me).
Don't be put off by this being described as new adult - the age of the main characters isn't 'obvious' and they are generally written in a mature and grown up way. The characters were well written, and the story was told from both main character's POV's (and first person). The plot was really well thought through, you feel you really get to know not just the hero and heroine but quite a few of the characters in the book. Background stories/histories are filled in really well as you progress through the book. The style of writing is easy to read, the book flows really well and the editing is excellent. I liked how the author made it clear when time moved on and there was a very realistic feel to the timeframe. I found the hero and heroine to be rounded and well developed and most importantly likeable.
The book is longer than some - I liked this as it really allowed each element of the plot line to be fully explored. There were no rushed elements and the pace was good. There were some steamy love scenes but these were a minor part of what is very much an angst ridden, emotion filled rollercoaster of a book. It was also tear-jerking and yes I needed tissues at one or two points. It is a complete story but introduces characters that you just know will have a story of their own - and I will definitely be making sure I 'catch up' with them and read their story too.
The ONLY thing I didn't like was that when the hero was narrating the story it was written in a 'talk' style with lots of 'dropped g's' i.e. happenin', sayin', waitin'. I don't mind this in speech but I didn't care for it in the main text.
I voluntarily read and an advanced review copy of this book but to be honest would have been just as happy to have paid for the book.

WOW.. This book was SOOO good! This book literally hit every emotion I own. Happiness, bitterness, jealously, sadness, joy... and the list goes on and on and on. This book had me devouring each and every page.
This book centers around Penny and Colton. They have one of the sweetest childhood forever loves. They were each others better half, each others soul mate and one each others best friend. I can't even imagine returning home after 5 years, and the person you loved with your whole heart does not love you back. This book was definitely a heart breaker. My stomach was literally in knot after knot. Penny and Colton's story is up and down, then down and up. But hang on y'all because the story will smooth out and it is worth the roller coaster ride. Such a great story. I highly recommend this book. Loved this book so much!
PS. Love Buddy...Would not mind a story about him. :)

Another very emotional read that pulls you in taking over a little of your heart. This is a read that will have you on an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. My heart went out to both Colton and Penny so much love, so much pain and so much to deal with. Penny wants some answer why the man she has loved from childhood dumps her. She has waited long enough only to come home to find he doesn’t remember her. That would have to be one of the hardest things you ever have to deal with.
The author gives you a wonderful well written story that will touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes. You emotions will be all over the place as you turn the pages to find out what heartbreak the author has in store for you next. I really enjoyed this story it was just as emotional as the other one I have read of this author. She takes you in holding you with her wonderful characters until you come to the last page asking for more.

Penny and Colton have been best friends and loved each other for as long as they could remember. When Penny leaves town to go to college they try to stay in touch, but as often happens, things change. When Penny doesn’t hear from Colton, her mother tells Penny he’s found someone else. It’s not until Penny ends up back home in Alabama that Penny finds out her mother lied and realizes the depths of her mother’s insidious deception. Colton didn’t find someone else five years ago. He was in a devastating accident and lost all memories from before the accident, including his lifetime with Penny. Due to more lies on her mother’s part, no one ever told Penny about the accident. Now Colton doesn’t know who she is, and this Colton since the accident is a very different man than the boy Penny still loves.
Truly, I should hate this author after reading this book. She tore open my chest, ripped out my heart and replaced it with a ten ton weight, while running a herd of elephants over my raw, bleeding heart a few thousand times. It’s full of angst, pain, tragedy and lost chances, with a seed of hope sprouting up only to be torn away and destroyed by the characters’ stormy turmoil leaving a new devastation in its wake. But when you read about Penny loving Colton since they were five years old when he first pulled her hair and she tells him, “A love that deep can never heal. You’ve scarred me for life…My heart and soul belong to you. Only you,” you can’t help having that seed of hope sprouting anew because you just know to the depths of your soul they’re destined for each other and it HAS to work out. Of course it works out, but in such a beautiful, moving way, even going as far as to redeem the most evil character in the book, Penny’s mother. And just when I finally had myself back together with Colton and Penny’s happily ever after (which I thought would NEVER happen), you tear me up one last time with the sweet scene between Buddy and Lilly in the bonus epilogue.
These characters will immediately be a part of your heart and you’ll experience every scene and emotion to the farthest reaches of your soul. There is so much depth, drama and passion in this book that, not only will it be impossible to put down, but days later you’ll still feel the weight of the journey and the epic, abiding, forever love between these two. Colton is complex and so damaged, yet still loveable, although at times I really wanted to shake him. Fortunately, there were some secondary characters to do that for me. Penny is the true hero of the book, although she was still human and made some mistakes. But the way she held on to her love of Colton is a beautiful, important lesson that if something really matters, it’s worth holding on to and fighting for with every fiber of our being. I can only hope that I would be as brave and determined as Penny, if faced with something similar.
This is not a light, easy read. Your emotions will be yanked, tugged, shoved, squeezed and wrung out, but you’ll finish the book with an overflowing heart, a different outlook on love, and that big, satisfied sigh that an exceptional work elicits. The premise alone is fascinating, but the way the story is constructed and the tapestry is woven with the thread of words, the color of thoughts and the texture of feelings is achingly, hauntingly beautiful. Colton and Penny’s story is a love for the ages – realistic and heartbreaking yet magnificent, passionate, breathtaking and awe-inspiring, and the kind of deep, abiding love we all hope and dream of. This is a book that will stay in your heart long after you move on to your next book and you’ll want to read again and again. It will leave you pondering, thinking, and maybe seeing things a little differently. Run, don’t walk, to the one-click button. You absolutely don’t want to miss this one!
Truly, I should hate this author after reading this book. She tore open my chest, ripped out my heart and replaced it with a ten ton weight, while running a herd of elephants over my raw, bleeding heart a few thousand times. It’s full of angst, pain, tragedy and lost chances, with a seed of hope sprouting up only to be torn away and destroyed by the characters’ stormy turmoil leaving a new devastation in its wake. But when you read about Penny loving Colton since they were five years old when he first pulled her hair and she tells him, “A love that deep can never heal. You’ve scarred me for life…My heart and soul belong to you. Only you,” you can’t help having that seed of hope sprouting anew because you just know to the depths of your soul they’re destined for each other and it HAS to work out. Of course it works out, but in such a beautiful, moving way, even going as far as to redeem the most evil character in the book, Penny’s mother. And just when I finally had myself back together with Colton and Penny’s happily ever after (which I thought would NEVER happen), you tear me up one last time with the sweet scene between Buddy and Lilly in the bonus epilogue.
These characters will immediately be a part of your heart and you’ll experience every scene and emotion to the farthest reaches of your soul. There is so much depth, drama and passion in this book that, not only will it be impossible to put down, but days later you’ll still feel the weight of the journey and the epic, abiding, forever love between these two. Colton is complex and so damaged, yet still loveable, although at times I really wanted to shake him. Fortunately, there were some secondary characters to do that for me. Penny is the true hero of the book, although she was still human and made some mistakes. But the way she held on to her love of Colton is a beautiful, important lesson that if something really matters, it’s worth holding on to and fighting for with every fiber of our being. I can only hope that I would be as brave and determined as Penny, if faced with something similar.

Remember Me Always is about Colton and Penny. These two have been in love with each other since they were little. They were always together...until Penny left to go to college in New York. They promised each other to always remember each other and the love they had. They had been texting and talking on the phone every day and Colt was saving up to make a trip to visit Penny during her Christmas break. Then her mom dropped a bombshell - Penny has a new boyfriend in New York.
To say Colt was upset would be an understatement. He was crushed. He stopped responding to her texts and phone calls. He was working up to confronting Penny, but just couldn't do it. Sitting around his house, bored and miserable, his little brother Connor asks him if they can go on a late night food run. They take off and on a curve in the road, another driver hits their truck, sending it flipping over and into a lake. Colt manages to get himself out of the drowning truck, but passes out trying to free his unconscious brother. Colton ends up in a coma and Connor doesn't make it. When Colt wakes up from his coma, he has lost all his memory of his life before the accident.
Five years later, Penny comes back to town determined to find out why Colton had thrown away what they had together. See, Penny's mother told her that Colt had moved on and found someone else. Penny had been devastated, to say the least. After that she ditched the political science route her parents wanted her to take and got a culinary arts certification. Now she's heading back home, she wants answers, and she wants closure. When she gets to town, she goes to Colton's family's bar and spots Colt right away. When she approaches him, he acts like he doesn't know her. She is so upset that he is pretending not to know her, until her father explains what happened right after Colt stopped taking her calls. Now that she knows, she is determined to get Colt to remember her and the love they shared.
Colt doesn't remember the pretty blonde who was so upset with him at the bar, but there's something inside him that tells him he wants to know her. Can Penny get him to remember? Can they get back the love they had all those years? I enjoyed reading this story. It had a lot of angst, sweet romance, wonderful secondary characters, hot sex scenes, even heart-wrenching scenes that had me tearing up.

This was not my first book by Angela Snyder, but it is by far my favorite! This story was a roller coaster ride of emotions, ups and downs, twists and turns. Such an array of emotions: heartbreak and sadness, frustrations, passion, jealousy, happiness, the list goes on. You simply cannot read this book and not feel something stir in you!
Penny and Colton have known each other practically their whole lives, and have been friends, best friends, and so much more. But as we all know, things can change, and so much has. Now five years later Penny is back and looking to Colton for answers. Answers which, due to a horrific car accident and subsequent memory loss, he cannot answer. Will they be able to find their way back to each other? Or has to much time passed, to much happened?
It's a second chance romance told from dual POV's that you have to read and see for yourself. You won't be sorry!
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review. This is my honest opinion.

The couple: Colton and Penny
Romance trope: amnesia
Length: 380 pages
Plot: Colton and Penny were high school sweethearts who lost touch when Penny went away to school. When she comes back home after five years, she is surprised to find that he got in an accident not long after she left and suffers from almost total amnesia. He doesn't remember her at all. But there's still a spark between them, if they can just find their way back to each other.
Commentary: EEK, that's some new adult drama. Those two fought and misunderstood and argued and cried like it was their jobs. My favorite part was when Colt's friend was like "yeah, you two always fought back in the day and then you made up up" and Colt was like "why would I want to be in a relationship like that?" Good question, buddy, good question. I was exhausted just reading about it. They never seemed happy.

This was a quick read….while it was a nice love story, it gave me whiplash with the back and forth and two steps forward and then two steps back. I feel more could have been done with the story than just the hot and cold. It was nice but wasn’t as good as I hoped.

Remember Me Always was an AMAZING rollercoaster ride!! Definitely a one of a kind original story line that hooked me from start to finish! I ADORED the characters, and the storyline.
Penny Preston and Colton Crawford have been in love almost all their lives. They grew up together, best friends when they were kids, but that relationship grew into love.
Determined to make their future together, they didn't plan on the tragedy that would derail their love and future. While Penny goes off to college in New York, Colton is left behind. Determined to make their relationship work when long distance. That is until a life changing tragedy leaves, Colton with severe memory loss, even forgetting the love of his life, Penny.
Remember Me Always is told in dual POV's. So emotional, and raw. I have to say Angela Snyder told this story BRILLIANTLY!!!
I was so emotionally vested, crying for the characters, my heart shattered. I had to stop reading many times, to calm down.
I can't wait to read more stories from this very talented Author!!!

This is my first read by Angela Snyder and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a second chance romance but probably not the kind of story you automatically think about when you hear those words. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters you could really feel the emotions running through them as they overcame all the ups and downs they encountered.
Colton Crawford and Penny Preston were in love and thought nothing would ever come between them. When Penny left to go to college in New York they vowed they would do whatever it took to stay together but unfortunately other people had other ideas.
Five years later and Penny is back in her hometown, she wants answers from Colton about why he stopped all contact with her. One problem, when she sees him again he has absolutely no clue who she is, when secrets and lies are revealed is there a chance they could get back together or will Colton push her away one times to many and into the arms of someone else.
Overall a great read and definitely one I would recommend!!

A wonderful, very emotional story. Colton and Penny are wonderful and endearing characters who have known each other since childhood. When Penny goes away for college, Colton gets into an accident and loses his memory. Penny doesn't find out until she comes back years later. This is a memorable and amazing read that you can not miss! It is truly beautiful.

This is a book to be read with tissue. I felt such heart ache over the wrongs done to Penny and Colton. This a second chance romance, high school loves, she went to college and he stayed to help with the family bar. Then the unthinkable happened and life changed for both on them. They still had the attraction to each other, Penny never stopped loving Colton, he can't remember her but his heart does. This was a good book and I recommend it to all. I received this as an arc and voluntarily reviewed it.

I don't think that I have ever had a book take me on suck a crazy emotional roller coaster!
Penny went away to New York for college. Colton was staying behind to help out with his families bar. They has been in love since they were children, so this separation was going to be a tough one. They promised to call, text and email all the time. But as with all long distance relationships, lost touch. Her mother told her that he has moved on. Penny was so devastated that she was still heartbroken 5 years later. So she decides to go home to confront him. That's when she found out that he has been in an accident and didn't remember anything from before the accident, 5 years ago. Penny decides she is going to stick around and she is determined to being him back to her. While his brain doesn't remember her, it seems that his heart does and he cant seem to stay away from her.
Penny and Colton have the kind of love that everyone dreams of. The kind that can last through anything. While Penny has her work cut out for her, she keeps catching glimpses that her Colton is in there and keeps the hope that she can bring him back. Colton is so hot and cold that Penny never knows which one she is going to be dealing with.
From the beginning I was crying over the heartbreak. And on numerous occasions it gave me chills. It took me all of one day to finish it! I loved this book. It is definitely one that I am sure I will be able to read again and again!

In this book, the author explores the concept of just how much of who we are is built on our memories of and feelings for the people in our lives, and the result is a roller coaster of emotions guaranteed to melt even the toughest heart. Very well-written with a dual POV, the story does a beautiful job of showing us the inner turmoil and hopes of the two star-crossed lovers, and just when you think there's no way they'll work out a HEA, love comes through and makes everything right. This isn't a light and fluffy beach read; this book will change you from the inside out and stay with you for a long, long time. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

What an emotional roller coaster. This is a heartwarming story about a man who lost his memory in an auto accident where his brother was killed. His memory loss was a savior to him in many ways. It saved him the pain of his brother's loss. When Penny resurfaces in his life asking questions and demanding answers, he can not help her. But there's something about you that is so attracting and the chemistry is there. For some unknown reason he keeps pushing her away until one day. He knows that he must have her.

My emotions were all over the place while reading this book. From the very first page you understood how much Penny and Colton loved each other. It wasn't just a romantic love but also a beautiful friendship.
My heart broke for both characters and for what they lost, and how they lost it.
This is such a well written story and you will want nothing more than to see both of these characters overcome all of the obstacles they have to face.

A rare cocktail of exhausting and fulfilling, Remember Me Always is wonderful. My emotions we're everywhere. Long distance is hard, but love remains, even unconsciously. The twist broke my heart, but wow. Penny and Colton certainly have an epic love. This is a very special romance, and one that stays in your heart. I really recommend picking this book up, but be ready for a good cry. This is a voluntary review of an advance reader copy.
