Cross My Heart: A Second Chance Small Town Romance

A follow-on series: Even though this was the first book of the series, it felt as if I was playing catch up as there were quite a few cross over characters from another series (Monroe Brothers). It seemed as if the author just jumped into this story without taking any time to set the scene and no mention was even made of the location. Despite this, it was still a sweet, second chance romance novel. Fiona and Aiden made a cute couple and I enjoyed seeing them eventually find their way back together. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Aiden and Fiona start off The Callaway Series. Aiden is Heath Monroe's best Friend if you read the Monroe Brothers, if not that's okay but if you enjoyed this emotional second chance romance you will definitely want to give it a read. Fiona was Aiden's first love and vice versa, they had a plan or at least Fiona thought they did but Aiden disregarded it when he enlisted and left her behind. Can these two long lost loves, learn to trust in each other again, to forgive the past and create a future together. Get ready for an emotional ride and some big heartfelt apologies, with the help of friends, found family and a small town. I have voluntarily left this review.

What a beautiful start to Ms. Coll's new series, The Calloways. I loved being back with the Calloways and the Monroes. Cross My Heart is a second-chance romance that is heart-warming, emotional and brilliantly written. The storyline is well-written, relatable, easy to get engrossed in and will have you hooked right from the start. Fiona Calloway is the oldest Calloway and is back home after 10 years. Seeing the man who broke her heart was something that she knew would happen but unsure of how she would feel. Adian had been her high school sweetheart and she thought he was the one she would be with forever. Adian's family did not show love and caring to their children. Adian left for the military and broke the heart of the only woman he had ever loved. Will being at the Inn together see the flames that once were there ignite? Fiona offers to help around the Inn and in doing so she is now working closely with Adian. Will his flirting and showing Fiona that she is the one for him?
