Synopsis

Savannah

This town ain’t big enough for the two of us. Which is why I left.

I was determined never to return to Hale, Texas. But when my new life in the Big Apple throws me a curve ball, I have to go back to tie up loose ends. One of those being him.

Jason Whitney was my first everything. Kiss, love, epic heartbreak. He shattered my world once upon a time, and apparently, he’s not done yet.

With old demons lurking around every corner, hightailing it out of my hometown is at the top of my list. Complete my unfinished business, and I get to leave any memory of my country existence behind.

Only, with each day I spend in it, with each moment I spend with him, I’m turning back into the girl who laid in the tall grass and swam in the creek all those years ago.

And I’m not sure that who I was is ready to let me go again.

Jason

We drew a line down the middle, and neither of us has crossed it. That is, until Savannah Reese blew back into our hometown.

The day my high school sweetheart left, she took my whole heart with her. We promised each other forever, made plans that only teenagers could believe in, and crashed and burned on the grandest of scales.

When Savannah last saw me, I was a disgraced high school athlete. All washed up, I took it out on the only person who loved me. Then her world really fell apart, and I was too selfish to care.

Now she’s back, ready to sell the only remaining thing tying us to each other. I’ve been breaking my back for the last ten years not to think about her, not to be reminded of the love we shared.

But now that she’s right here, it’s impossible to forget how we used to be. Or let go of what we still are.


Review

This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Carrie Aarons!

That’s the Way I Loved You is a Contemporary second chance Romance about Savannah and Jason.

I’ve read a lot of books by Carrie Aarons and she keeps on writing amazing books! That’s the Way I Loved You was such a good book and I’m a sucker for second chance Romance. The story was really beautiful, it’s not just a love story but it’s also a story about going after your passion and about loss.

I totally get the reason why Savannah left town, it’s been really hard for her and I think she’s a strong character. I love that she fights for what she wants and what she needs. But so does Jason… He’s determined to win Savannah’s heart again and I love that he doesn’t give up. It’s clear that they’re meant for each other but it just wasn’t the right time for them to be together when they were younger.

I think that That’s the Way I Loved You is a beautiful story about finding true love again and it’s also a realistic story. I think a lot of people go through certain things and if you’re really meant to be together you’ll find your way back to each other. I think that this book is another great book by Carrie Aarons and I cannot wait to read some more books by her!
