Emerson walked out of my life without so much as a goodbye. Never before had I felt that level of connection with anyone, and I was ready to give her my heart. Instead she threw what we had away. I want to hate her, to cast her aside like she did to me. But with one glance I feel that irresistible magnetism drawing me back in…
Emerson Lowe
If he wasn’t cheating yet, he soon would. That’s what I convinced myself before turning my back on Reed. I knew I was punishing him for the sins of my ex, but my scarred heart couldn’t take another betrayal. Then, I bumped into him again and began to fear I made a horrible mistake. I want to tear down the walls of my heart and find where I belong. How can I do that when my first instinct is always to run?
Author Alexandra Christopher delivers an artful depiction of love, loss, and second chances in Pained Confessions.
This is part of the Healing Love series but can be read as a standalone. Each novel in the series will feature a new couple.
I’ve been waiting for this book ever since heartfelt lies I just adored Reed and we met Emerson at the end of that book and I was intrigued obviously there was tensions and the spark was ignited again this book was a slow burn we got to see where it started and how a miscommunication can cause so much devastation we see Reed for how great of a man he really is in every way I loved him so much Emerson was a strong heroine and her and reeds chemistry was off the charts so HOT🥵🥵🥵 the writing flowed and took us on a journey of love,laughter, and life in the best way I’m a fan Alexandra can’t wait to read the next book #cantwait
okay i lovedddddd this because the entire time i was on the edge of my seat waiting for em and reed to confess their obvious care for each other and explain the sequence of miscommunications but i didn’t expect the story at all and it was so intricate and perspective, especially relating to the characters in the last book. the writing made me feel like i was truly in emerson’s and reed’s povs which is such an amazing talent. i miss emersonreed already
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book and it did not disappoint! I loved Reed just as much as I knew I would and Emerson stole my heart as well. The chemistry and sexual tension between these two was off the charts! 🔥 They were just meant to be and I’m so happy they found each other again. If you love second chance romance and protective, strong, sexy cowboys this book’s for you!
This second chance small-town steamy book is everything. Pained Confessions pull on your heartstrings and tug on your emotions. I enjoyed Emerson and Reed's relationship, banter, and steamy moments. The spice is just right!! The storytelling in this book will keep you spellbound. Emerson has had a hard life, she's been abused and neglected and does what it takes to survive. Reed, OMG this smexy rancher! is brokenhearted, and has 6 years of pent-up anger and hurt caused by Emerson, the one that got away.
This is the perfect book to read on cold winter nights.
This is the second book in this series, and this is Reed and Emerson’s story. Emerson has a tough upbringing, and when she walked away from Reed, she was punishing him for the sins of her ex. These two are destined to be soulmates, and Emerson realizes that she has made a mistake in giving up on them, but is it too late for another chance? This is a well written story which has tension, miscommunication, regrets, 2nd chances, and love, which leads to an entertaining page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Everyone who suffered as bad and had so many traumas in their life as our heroine did deserves a second chance in life, i'm glad she found her happiness, she is a sweet soul.
