Coming to college was my way of finding myself, finding who I really was. Then he happened. We weren’t what you would call the perfect couple. He was gorgeous, popular and from a well-bred family, but most of all he was the captain of the baseball team. He was all set to make it big and play pro ball. I wouldn’t stand in his way to achieve his dreams, even if it did tear me in two when I made a choice and pushed him away. Breaking my own heart in the process is only a small price to pay! I won’t have him staying with me out of duty, he deserves the world and more. Letting him go and keeping the biggest secret I’ve ever kept nearly kills me, but I do it. I do it for him. I have no intentions of ever seeing him again, that is until… One fatal day eight years later, his team is in an accident. Before I know what I’m doing, I’ve signed up to be their shrink who assess if the team can go back out onto the field… If he can go back out on the field again. Do I dare believe that I can still keep my secret and we can be Us again?
Nate
I left. I didn’t want too. I wanted her and only her, but when she declares she no longer loves me, then what’s a heartbroken guy to do? I was willing to give everything up for her, my family, my dreams. Instead, she throws us away like a piece of yesterdays trash. I’ve spent the last eight years playing ball and fucking. Why the fuck not? She didn’t want me! I was never supposed to lay my eyes on her again, that is until the life I’ve known for years comes crashing down… literally. Can I convince her to fix me... To maybe be Us again?
Eliza and Nate’s journey was full of emotions, lies, manipulation, secrets, achievements, strength and hope. Eliza was the one who decided for the course of their relationship. Although I had just read previously in another book a similar action from the heroine, the story behind here was completely different and heartbreaking. Both main characters were loveable, the writing was beautiful, dual pov, the pace was nicely balanced and lured me in.
I hope the author will release the stories of Sammi and Dean❣️
3.75 Stars I came across this book on a free promotion a while back. It had a lot of five star reviews and readers raved about it. After I read the blurb I was eager to read it myself. Us Again is a very emotive, tragic, heartbreaking, angsty read. That alone, normally makes me hesitate. While I like angst in moderation, I don't like the way I feel while reading a book consumed with it. But I had been reading light romances lately and wanted something stronger than sweet and satisfying. That said, this book was everything readers said it was.
The first pages start off in the past and then during the course of the book, we have the main H/h's thoughts jumping back here and there to help us understand more of the "why" things happened. The big reveal is at the end of the book but hints are given along the way. To say I was emotional about that is an understatement. I was sad, angry, disgusted and concerned among other emotions.
I know my review is vague but I don't want to give any of this story away. I will say that I had mixed feelings with Nate and Eliza's behavior. I wasn't a fan of either character for most of the book. Until the reveal happens, Nate and Eliza are barely together again. Eight years apart neither is over the other and yet Nate has become a womanizer to numb his broken heart. I don't like seeing the H/h of a book being intimate with others and in this case, Nate was on more than one occasion and I hated the way that made me feel. Had I known ahead of time, I probably would not have read this book. But that is just my opinion due to my preferences.
Us Again could have been a five star read for me; unfortunately there were way too may grammatical errors which interrupted my reading flow so many times. Also, the baseball references were incorrect. In America, the field is not called a pitch. It is the mound, diamond and outfield. Also, when players score, it is referred to as runs, not points. A little more research could have gone in to that aspect and as I mentioned, this book could use a good editor. Despite those issues I experienced, overall I enjoyed the story and outcome. This was a first time author for me. Would I read this author again? The answer is yes.
This is my honest and unbiased review and I thank you for taking the time to read it. :)
It is a heartbreaking story that it took so long for the truth to come to life. But fate intervened when these two had already been through so much pain and turmoil without each other all because of selfishness that head nothing to do with them. It is sickening to know that there are or can be such cruel people that are suppose to love you unconditionally and want what would make you happy to force their agenda and selfishness upon others just to try and mask it as they thought best can never be forgiven for their actions because they will not take responsibility for their actions no matter the situation.

One of my now favourite book couples EVER. The heartbreak you feel from the beginning felt so true that I literally felt like my heart was breaking with them.
Poor Eliza, the pain she suffered sculpted her in to the woman she is now, but still holding a flame for her one true love she is put in an impossible position which shows them both how they couldn’t go on without each other anymore.
Nate has his heart broken, and nearly threw everything away for Elisa, having to get on without her nearly broke him but he built himself up by playing baseball, his first love, but never letting anyone close to him again, that is until Eliza comes back in to his life.
Will the secrets kept by Eliza finally end them forever? 🤭
Wow jennah thornhill has once again knocked it out the park.. i have been a big fan of jennahs work from the beginning, she has this way of captivating you from the very beginning and thats certainly what she achieved with Us Again.. Nate and Eliza are meant to be their chemistry is sizzling, something happens that makes Eliza leave Nate leaving them both heart broken.. after years apart they are reconnected and thats when questions start get answered but can Nate forgive Eliza?? Will they be together again?? This is a must read.. i cant wait for more releases from this author.
Eliza and Nate stole my heart! Their story is an all-consuming one filled with emotion. I felt so much for what Eliza went through and the secrets that were kept. The heartache and anguish felt by the both of them had tears streaming down my face. Nate, even though he tried portraying himself as not having any cares was really endearing. The love and lust they felt towards one another was so sinfully hot, I hoped that these two would be able to work through the pain and obstacles and find their happily ever after together. You must read their story and find out for yourself how their journey goes.
This story is about Nate and Eliza, college sweethearts who are crazy in love but mysteriously split. Eight years later, after Nate is in a tragic accident, they are suddenly reunited. The characters and story flow flawlessly, making it hard to put the book down!! I loved the ending and am looking forward to more stories from this author!!

Read this rollercoaster of a book to find out!
This story has to be by far my favourite off Jennah’s. The storyline is unbelievable and the characters well what can I say....I’m claiming them both as Book boyfriend/book girlfriend. Nate and Eliza are amazing to read and the chemistry between them is clearly visible.
From the minute you start reading this, you’re pulled into the story and wanting answers to the twist and turns it takes you on. I fell in love with it all. It captured me and I just couldn’t stop reading. Definitely a page turner.
Jennah is a talented author, who can make you fall in love with all aspects of the story. She can write grit and emotion well and knows how to get the story perfect so you just keep wanting to read. Us Again is an unbelievable story and one I wish I could award more than 5 ⭐️ to. Definite must read.
What can I say !!! This author just keeps them coming. This book grabbed me from page one. The chemistry is off the page. The heart breaking story between Nate and Eliza will just grab you and drag you in. I loved this book and cannot wait for more from this author...... A must read !!
An emotionally charged contemporary romance full of angst and heartbreak. Eliza and Nate are two lovers separated by the malicious interference of his uber wealthy parents. Their love story, and it is a story of love, spans almost a decade of suffering. A beautiful testament to the strong bond of true love. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a romantic soul in them.

Where do I begin with making you understand how amazing this book is?! Eliza and Nate are characters who you can’t help but fall in love with. As you read, you know that these two belong together but sometimes life gets in the way and things don’t always work out the way you want them. But does it for them? When a situation occurs that brings these two together, will they be able to put aside their pasts and make it work? These two also have such sizzling chemistry and you can feel their emotions deep in your own heart and soul. This author describes Eliza and Nate so perfectly that you can actually envision what they look like, and to me, that takes great talent. I highly recommend this book and hope that you love it as much as I did.
This book starts out with this before it gets to the body of the story. True love will push all boundaries. Test your resolve. Bind your soul. Break through barriers. Stand the test of time. Forever and always. -ML- I believe this story in its own way covered all of that. This is Eliza Rodriguez and Nate Michaels' story. What parents he had! They will have so much to go through until they are"Us Again"I hope this is going to be a series I would like to see Dean get a story, then Sammi, maybe Rosie and maybe have them find the sister. I enjoyed reading this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Loved the story of Nate and Eliza, lots of feels that had me on an emotional rollercoaster.
The struggles that Eliza goes through has a lot of consequences especially for Nate, as much as I felt for Eliza it was Nate I felt for more, Eliza makes choices that effect Nate in a huge way and he doesn't haven't a clue why his heart is being ripped out over and over again ...can he find his way with a broken heart or will it effect him forever...only Eliza can give him the answers to that question but will it be to late?...READ TO FIND OUT! seriously this is a must read I loved it ...Jennah Thornhill knocked it out the park ...pun intended 💞
I’m torn about how to rate this book. The story and the emotions in it were excellent and definitely kept me reading. However, there were so many grammatical errors that I found myself pulled from the story several times. I feel like this book needs to be re-edited. If those things were fixed it would be a 5 star read for sure.
A beautiful second chance romance with a few twists, that will have you shouting out loud in suprise. There were a few times during this story I wanted to yell at the author for the tears she caused me! Overall I was broken hearted and then put back together again in the end. Five well deserved stars
damn im in a flunk this book had me hook lind and sinker. i couldnt put it down. jennah and brought me a new love of nate and el. so many emotion in one book. if anything i would love another book with nate and el.
This book is an amazing second chances love story. Jennah you have outstanding writing skills to be a quarter like you would be amazing. I loved how capturing thr story between Nate and El was. Can't wait to read more of your book.
This book is excellent, beautiful and highly recommended if you are looking for something with depth and inspiration.
Great characters that will keep your interest extremely well. The chemistry, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things interesting. It is also funny, sexy and very romantic. Absolutely loved.

A great second chance romance. Eliza And Dean were school sweethearts but when Dean wanted to realised his dream she knew in heart what she had to do. It’s was a real will they won’t they sort of situation and with the huge secrets and family deceit. I found myself hoping they would get what they both deserved. . Great characters and great story line.
This is the first book I read from this autor and let me tell you that I loved it! Such a good book with great characters that keeps you obsessed with every page since the first one. This is a beautiful reading with a lot of emotions that keeps you on a roller coaster! Amazing job! if you love romance this is definitely a must read!
I think I never wrote it in review before but the writing in this book was horrible. Story was bad written. I barely made it to the end of the book but I hate to DNF a book. The worst book I read this year- and I gave a lot of one star ratings.
I loved Nate and Eliza's journey to become 'Us Again ' with a tragic event which finally gets them back together and dark secrets from the past they've got a lot to overcome but true love prevails and an HEA is guaranteed.
