If you want to read a book that is sweet and people are happy all the time, then this is not the book for you because Corinne Michaels will make you feel everything. Come Back For Me is another one of her masterpieces that will put you through the ringer. It is the first book of her new series featuring four brothers with a traumatic upbringing from a small farm town. This book features Connor, the youngest of the Arrowood brothers, who headed home upon a medical release from the Navy Seals only to learn his father had passed.
So many emotions! This book is raw and real and goes into great detail about their past and an unspeakable truth that bonded them for life almost a decade ago. They made a vow to protect and take care of each other, and even though they each have separate lives as adults, they have honored that vow, and have dutifully come together to submit to their father’s last wishes in order to inherit his land.
It’s so hard to put into words how this book affected me. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, you need to discover and experience each one on your own, but trust me when I say this book is not for the faint of heart. Ellie is a local elementary school teacher, and you feel her anguish as she bravely navigates an abusive marriage and plans to escape. She is hardworking, humble and sweet, and is so remorseful for the choices she made knowing that they have affected her daughter, Hadley, who is a ray of sunshine and her main priority.
Ellie is trying to survive day by day until Connor re-enters her life (in a very heroic way) and nothing will ever be the same. The burning desire they felt all those years ago is still very much alive, but these two have a very long road ahead before they get their happy ending. Truths are revealed that involve all of the Arrowood brothers–Connor, Declan, Jacob, and Sean, and this book will take you on their heartbreaking journey from page one.
This book has tears, angst, sexy times, an adorable little girl, a set of four hot brothers, small town romance, suspense, and a very alpha swoony hero that you will love! Wait until you read the scenes with him and Hadley; she thinks he hangs the moon and stars and he does not disappoint.
Love isn't easy and this book is about their journey and fight to get there. This book is about knowing your heart and fiercely defending it. It’s about finding your soulmate, someone who loves unconditionally and forgives. Someone that no matter where in the world you are, as long as you are with them, you are home.
I also enjoyed getting to know Sydney, Ellie’s best friend and lawyer, as well as an old flame of Declan’s who is going to be the featured hero in the second book, Fight For Me, in the Arrowood series.
