No Regrets #2
Living with Regrets
We swore that we would never give up.
Promised each other we would never let go.
Yet, one letter six years ago is all it took to tear us apart.
Six years of lies.
Six years of losing control.
Six years of hate.
But now, I'm home, and I'm going to do everything I can to fix my mistakes.
One look is all it takes for me to breathe freely again.
One smile is all it takes for me to remember who we are.
One kiss is all it takes to want it all back.
I never stopped loving my best friend, and I must live with the regret of every second we've been apart.
One look.
One smile.
One kiss.
But is love enough to heal a shattered heart?
Promised each other we would never let go.

This review Is for all Three books in the No Regrets Series by Aimee Noalane
When I started this series I had never read anything by this author, so I went and read some of the reviews and I was excited to see the high ratings. Not sure about anyone else, but for me I like to read the reviews sometime beforehand, just because I need to know If the FMC is some what strong or I just can’t move forward. I didn’t see anything about doormat, weak or even pathetic heroine, so I was like
“ let’s do this”
Book One ~ 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I started No regrets I was automatically drawn in by Aimee Noalane writing style.
Abby and Oliver story starts when they’re eight years old and are best friends, and from there is how their love story begins. My emotions were all over the place while reading this book. Frustration being number one Emotion….Yes both characters were frustrating, immature and had a whole lotta drama going on, but what teenager life isn’t at that age. I personally think Aimee did a wonderful job showing us their maturity level in this book. This definitely had an NA/YA feel to it. It suck me in that’s for sure, making me want more…
There were a few things that didn’t make sense tho in this book to me. For instance why they had recess in high school or shared lockers? Why didn’t Oliver or Abby call or text each other throughout the years? and why did it feel like Abby was doing all of the work in there friendship?
Other than that I really didn’t have too many complaints about this book and enjoyed it Very much.
Book Two ~ 3.5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
So moving on to book 2 Living With Regrets. I did not like this book as much as book 1 and before I give you my reasons, let me tell you this first, I can handle ow/om drama as long as it’s both sided. Aimee did do this, however, she gave us explicit details with Olivers ow then she did with Abbys om and when I say explicit details I’m talking about Sex….lol
For instance there is a chapter where Oliver and ow are outside doing the nasty, which I normally don’t have Issues with, but……not only was Abby there at the club with him, but she was also in town visiting Oliver when he did what he did and technically they weren’t a couple, but come on… they’ve been in love with each other for years and for him to do what he did while she was there just wasn’t cool, and was disrespectful in every-way, but that was Oliver m.o. when he got angry with Abby he’d jump in bed with another women.
Ok cool… I’m good with getting the explicit details on that incident, but what I’m not cool with was we didn’t even get the explicit details when Abby lost her virginity by Damian in the first book!
If you’re going to give us details on the H sex scenes then please do the same for the h… plus I didn’t like the fact Abby was so forgiving with what happened….yea…nope, sorry….I think anyone in their right mind would not get over that so easily or justify that being OK..
This book was more frustrating than the first book, because now they are 23 years of age, but there both still acting as if they are 16. I really didn’t see any character growth in this book and that to me is disappointing, maybe Oliver a little bit, but definitely not Abby, she was still immature in so many ways.. If you are going to add years to a story then you better give your readers some growth with there age and there just wasn’t any In this book.
The Back-and-forth was beyond nerve-racking and starting to annoyed me. I lost count on how many times I wanted to slap Abby, heck I could’ve slapped Oliver many times too. His alpha attitude/cowardice gave me whiplash.
There was just so many things In this book that were unrealistic to me. Including the time where Abby gets attacked. It was a little far-fetched or how Oliver and Abby both became best friends with other people that again were the opposite sex..really? And For the love of God how many best friends does Abby have? 🙄 Eye roll
I’m sorry I thought this story supposed to be about Abby and Oliver being best friends?
If I never hear best friend again, it will not be soon enough. That word was so abuse in this series..
And seriously what kind of friend was Stephen to Oliver anyway? Technically him and Oliver were best friends first, but some how when Oliver asked him to look after Abby when he moved, Stephens loyalty to Oliver went out the window.. Not even sure how that would even happen to begin with… again 🙄 eye roll…
However, this book did started getting a little more spicier between Abby and Oliver, showing us the chemistry between them both. I loved flirting between both of them. It was steamy and hot!
Plus the author gave her readers some lite humor in this book, which was a good change from the first book. It still was emotional and full of angst, but some chapters had some fun banters going on in them which I enjoyed.
Book Three ~ 3 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lastly book 3 Transcending Regrets… which was probably my least book I liked. So I’ll make this quick…
Why? Because I had so many doubts and questions in this book and I just didn’t feel I got the answers to them or the outcome I was looking for. One being…Abby finding out she was pregnant. I kinda felt like they only reason Oliver and her ended up together was because she was pregnant. I would’ve like to see Oliver and Abby get together not because of an unplanned pregnancy. I wanted to see Oliver and Abby work on their issues without adding a baby to the mix. I’m not a huge fan of the h getting pregnant In stories like these, especially when they’re young. I feel the author could’ve went in a different direction with this story without Abby getting pregnant. I mean come on first time they have sex and on birth control she gets pregnant. That’s original! Eye roll 🙄
Anyhow, Did Abby love Damian at one point? because I definitely got that Vibe she did, but I also was getting weird vibes on how she felt for Tyler and Stephen too…like why was she getting jealous feelings? 🤨
Plus at this point in the series the back-and-forth was getting old. It was just the same ole same ole in every Chapter…Abby never grew up in my opinion. They both were cowards when It came to telling the truth on how they felt about each other. Oliver still gave up so easily on their relationship.. so much that he was leaving her again in the last chapter, but something happen for him to turn around and head back. Oliver never did any groveling in my opinion it was always Abby. And the most disappointing part of this book was, when Abby finally ended up saying “ I Love You” to Oliver it was in a ridiculous situation…again more eye rolling 🙄
So needless to say this book just didn’t deliver for me.
Positive things I liked tho…..
I loved how strong Abby was.
Oliver was sexy as sin.
The flirting between Oliver and Abby was smokin hot
Oliver and Abby love story was beautiful
I enjoyed the other characters

This book is emotionally evoking, I was up until 3am reading this and even though my eyes were burning I just couldn't put this down until it was done.
Book 1 ended with Oliver coming home and Abby shocked at seeing him. I had so much anticipation for this book I mean FUCK!!! How would she deal with him coming home. Will she be able to forgive him?
This book had my heart racing even more so then the first one. I could feel that this wouldn't be easy for the two of them.
And once again Aimee had given me fucking anxiety with this book. I screamed out loud so many times thinking FUCK why why this can't be happening.
She once again left me fucking reeling. I continue to love this series and I will patiently not do patiently wait for what is next.

I don’t fear pain. I fear love.
And love without pain does not exist.
I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with these characters right now! They are breaking my heart! On to book 3!

Abby has been a bad, bad girl. She really took a turn after Oliver left her. Now, six years later Oliver returns home to take care of some very sad personal business. Abby holds a grudge and Oliver has no idea how to handle the girl Abby has become. Everything between them is still there, but yet it's all different.
Crapola -- one love-filled night that gets your hopes up and then the bottom falls out. Could they be any blinder to each other's needs and desires? And yes, there's another cliffie because it is going to take some more time before these two get down to business and set things right.
Kudos to friends who have stuck by them through all this drama! Can't wait to start the final journey with Oliver and Abby. Keeping my fingers crossed for less angst and a lot more of the good stuff!

Living with Regrets is book 2 in the No Regrets series and continues the story between Abby and Oliver. This is my second book from Aimee Noalane and to say the least I didn't regret reading it. If you haven't read No Regrets I highly recommend it.
Let me start off my saying that this book is so full of emotions and you feel each emotion that Abby and Oliver go through within this story. I wanted to cry, scream, laugh and throw something as I read this book. Please read No Regrets first in order to understand what Abby and Oliver go throughout their friendship.
Six years has passed and Oliver's mother has passed away, so he returns home to bury her. Abby and Oliver haven't spoken in all of that time and their first meeting is very intense. Abby still feels the hurt and pain that Oliver caused when he left and is only a shell of her former self. Oliver is hot, sexy and is unsure how to handle Abby and all the feelings that have resurfaced. Time heals all they say, but not for these two I fear.
They both are stubborn, which causes more pain in the long run. However, they do share a passionate night, which lead me to hope for a HEA. Alas, I cried when Abby stated to Oliver "Then, let me go".
Two ships that pass in the night, but fail to see what is right in front of them is how I would describe Abby and Oliver. No spoilers here as I want the reader get the full force of the emotions both of them go through.
I highly recommend Aimee Noalane's work as you will be amazed and surprised about this series. I can't wait to read what happens in Book 3 of the No Regrets series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Series: Book 2 of No Regrets Series and not a standalone as book 1 No Regrets sets the backdrop for this book.
Characters: Well defined, easy to like, engages the readers emotions.

*heavy-hearted sigh*
This book y'all...
I've been sitting on this review for a little while, having no idea how to put into words the way this book (this series) makes me feel. Honestly, I still don't so I'm gonna wing it here and hope you decide to read it.
In my life, everything is defined in or related to music of some sort. Be it country, rap, rock, ect., the genre doesn't matter, but the sound and the words and everything in between pulls at me in ways I couldn't live without. Music has the power to both heal and break me.
After reading this book, I kept replaying bits and pieces in my head over and over and over again. I woke up in the middle of the night with these characters on the brain, attempting to process their journey. I knew, for my own sanity, I had to have a song for them and almost instantly it clicked. A song I've listened to countless times, 'Unlove Me' , sung by Alisan Porter and Jennifer Nettles during the 2016 The Voice, popped in my head. It is so beyond perfect (in my eyes) for Abby and Oliver. It's real and raw and painful, like Abby and Olivers relationship. The words of the song tear you apart, just like this book does.
In book one, we watched two friends suffer through tragic events that caused them to pull back in different ways. Neither was willing to brave the unknown in fear of the downfall it may bring, but in the end, they lost it all anyway.
In book two, we meet a stronger version of the two, yet that vulnerability between them is still very much present.
Theses two are so tied together in ways they themselves don't understand. Time and distance has played them, creating a flawed effect in each of their hearts.
Unbeknownst to the other, every decision they've ever made was based around the other person, be it good or bad.
I refuse to give even the smallest of details away because I truly believe this is a series that anyone who reads in the romance genre would enjoy.
To put it simply, it's beautifully heartbreaking.

This is the continuation of Oliver's and Abby's story. The first book for sure left me wanting more and that is exactly what Aimee Noalane gives us in Living with Regrets. Skipping ahead now they are adults now and so are their friends. With life altering events that takes us on a roller coaster that I couldn't put down. I am not going to spoil it for you with any spoilers but I will say if you like the First book No Regrets this one is even better, sexier and......You just have to read it.

“I wish that, if one day something does tear us apart, we’ll figure out a way to find each other all over again.”
The heart rending continuation of Abby and Oliver’s story. Tear stained pages, words bleeding onto the pages, shattered hearts and a ride on a roller coaster of emotions. How do you repair a friendship that’s been annihilated by letters written six years ago? Words are cruel and hurtful, and once said are unable to be taken back. I was drawn back into their story and unable to close the book, in fact I haven’t gone to sleep yet and it’s almost time to get ready for work.
Oliver’s mother has a dying wish, to return to her home and be buried near her husband. She tells Oliver it’s time, six years have been and gone, so repair the damage to his friendship with Abby. He could never of imagined the reception he’d receive when they first set eyes on each other. Let’s say they are off to a rough start, so surely the only way is up from here. Oliver finds out why Abby never received his letters and is angry that no one told him how bad she struggled without him.
Abby isn’t happy to have Oliver back in town for a few weeks. He seems to be popping up wherever she goes and she’s unable to avoid him. Oliver and Abby have the worst communication skills ever. There are so many misconstrued ideas floating through their heads, that it’s no wonder they keep butting heads. Will Abby let some of the hurt and pride go, and try to work through the pain to find the live they are so desperate for?

I'll have you all know that my kindle is alive and well... barely!
These two are gonna kill me, I swear to God! There are many times that I wanted to throw my kindle and just yell at Oliver and Abby to get their sh!t together.
You would think that with time that Oliver and Abby would learn to communicate, however that is not the case. Even years later these two can't tell each other how they really feel. Yet again, Aimee has me so emotionally overwhelmed and gutted. You get a glimpse of what their lives were like while they were apart and just how those choices affected them and their friends. I love that we get to see what their friends were up to as well.
I really just need for Oliver and Abby to communicate and lay their feelings out in the open. I really think they were finally starting to open up, when Aimee so kindly threw me for a loop and so kindly ended it right at an important part.
So yet again, I'm left wondering if and when will they get their happily ever after.
I know this seems all over the place, but that's exactly where my emotions are after reading this book. I can only hope that Aimee will put me back together soon.

Picking up 6 years after the conclusion of No Regrets, Oliver and Abby's story continues in the most amazing and infuriating way! As expected a lot has gone on for all concerned during that time but at least Abby is finally come out the other side of her tailspin, until tragedy forces them to reconnect. Abby and Oliver for me have to be the most loveable yet utterly infuriating book couples, the magnitude of missed opportunities, the nearly and the could have been's will have you screaming at the pages at them. The wrong places and wrong times seem to haunt them, and their ability to jump to the wrong conclusion about one another at every turn makes you cry for them. I was lucky that this book was already out after I had finished No Regrets but the fact that I now have to wait to find out more is driving me crazy, curse you Aimee Noalane for writing such an utterly amazing yet frustrating tale!

I have never wanted to stuff two characters into a closet and lock them in until they sort themselves out as much as I did Oliver and Abby!
They love each other - FACT
They always have - FACT
They were both to chicken sh*t to tell the other for fear of ruining the friendship - FACT
The friendships ruined anyway - FACT
They still love each other - FACT
One smile, one kiss, one moment is all it take for them both to realise - FACT
Can they work it out? No! Why, cause they're to scared to say what they really think/feel outloud!
This book had me wanting to slap them before reducing me to tears as I read the letter Oliver's recently deceased mother left him. Nolane broke my heart over and over and over again with this book, yet she did an incredible job because I couldn't put it down and kept going back for more!
Bring on book 3!!!!

Oliver and Abby drive me batty, yet they remained mostly endearing throughout the next installment. At times I wanted to truly strangle them both, I just couldn't see how two people fought so hard against getting what they want, but it was enough to drive you completely insane. So much time passes and got lost because of stubborness, pain, misunderstanding, and a whole boatload of mistakes...the switching between past and present POV's lent you insight, but I still want to pout in the corner for making my heart work so hard. With a whole cast and crew in the mix, it lent for a whole host of more heartbreak....Whew!!! It drops at an inopportune moment, so I would advise reading all three straight through like I did. As soon as I finished 1, I began 2, and finishing 2, barreled right into 2....It's a wild ride!!

If you think things will be lighter in this book, you will be disappointed. You leave one tear jerker just to continue starting on page 1. I can't begin to imagine having a friendship as code as Abby and Oliver much less going through the process of forgiveness and seeing a glimmer of hope to have it taken away so violently and then left with the possibility of hope with a tinge of what if there is no hope. My heart is literally sitting on the couch broken in pieces. (Not really but ya know)

Some crazy stuff went down in this book and the impact goes into book 3. I didn't think part 2 had me on the edge of my seat as much as Book 1 and I was really hoping for a little bit of closure and I felt like they were drifting apart too much and just wouldn't talk to each other.
Oliver was very quick to judge and made big mistakes.
I kind of just kept screaming in my head "Just talk to each other!"

Living with Regrets
I just want to punch Oliver and Abby. I love them.. and I hate them. They're literally driving me crazy! This book continues their story, picking up 6 years in the future. You'd think they'd have their crap together, but oh no! So frustrating! I'd love to type more, but I really need to get to book 3!

Aimee has managed to bring me to tears once again. This book is emotional and angsty.
Book 1 was hard, book 2 ripped me apart. Can my heart and soul handle book 3?
I wish Oliver and Abby could just get it together. I felt like screaming. These 2 drive me crazy, but I loved every minute of it.
I really hope book 3 pieces my heart back together and gives me some peace

Oliver frustrated me in this book there were so many times I wanted to reach into My kindle and throttle him. He had so many assumptions but never just sat down and asked her.
Abby and Oliver have so much history together, so much hurt, sadness but also love. A love so strong that they were scared to admit their feelings and actually take that final move. Instead its so
Complicated with back and forward all the time too scared to just lay it on the line and go for broke.
Having said that this book still grabbed my attention and now it’s time to
Dive into book 3 because I can’t be left hanging on a cliffy LOL

Amazing
Part 2 of this series is even better than the first one!
I laughed and cried so much with this story. My god the pain and turmoil these two are going through, is ripping me apart.
Read the first book and then dive into the second. I have the third one downloading now. This book is consuming. I have to finish this series because I NEED to know what happens.
An absolute must read and it’s one of the best love stories I have read in a long time. So many lessons and there is so much truth to this story and it’s so easy to see yourself in their shows!!
Spectacular!

I have never met two characters that made want to shake the shit out them. Abby and Oliver have that special kind of love, that true love. Anyone can see that except them.
I love Stephan and Abby's friendship, i want more scenes with them.
Aimee, you can't make me wait to long on the next book, i need my Abby and Oliver even though they make me want to pull my hair out.

Living With Regrets is book 2 and picks up exactly where book 1 left off...and wow! Loved this book! There is so much love/hate chemistry going on between Abby and Oliver! There are times you just want to shake them both and tell them to get it together, but of course, it's a book and you can't! I loved how Aimee Noalane wrote this book to where you get glimpses into each of their pasts and see how the six years they were apart affected them and their friends. It's like you're getting the story small bits at a time and it just makes you want more and more! Can't wait for book three...which is already on my Kindle!

The twists and turn this book makes... WOW !!!! Definitely was not expecting all the craziness that happened !!! I love me a man with tattoos... :)!!! SO ATTRACTIVE !!! Absolutely love that this author is Canadian and this novel takes place in Canada !! I do have to admit that Abby reminds me of me when I was younger (which is scary because she was a bit wild). Her relationship with Oliver honestly just needs a good sit down and talk and things could probably work out...but oh dear it just never happens that way. This novel has drama, romance and so many delicious twists and turns! So glad I read this novel!
