“Marry me.” “What?” I stared back at him, unblinking. He moved closer, taking my face in his hands. “I love you, Evie. I look into the future, and the only thing I see clearly is you. Marry me.” What’s an eighteen-year-old girl who was madly in love with her nineteen-year-old boyfriend say? Of course, I said yes. Twenty-four hours later, I married Adam Gunner at a Vegas chapel to the sounds of “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. Not the best omen. I get that now. Then, exactly one week later, I left him. I walked out, leaving behind my wedding ring, annulment papers, and my heart, and he never knew why. I haven’t seen him since. Not in ten long years. Now, he’s here, standing before me. Looking at me with nothing but hurt and hatred in his eyes, he wants answers. Answers I can’t give.

Hero and heroine meet. Fall in love and enter into a committed relationship. Some bad person does something or something happens that makes the heroine feel like she has no choice but to run away. It is always not true. In all these scenarios if the hero had just been told then there would be no need to run away. They could have come up with a solution together because people are not generally idiots but then again, if they did, there would be no story. Hero is mad and sad. Feels compelled to do lot of other women during their separation to feel better while she pines & lives on memories of their love alone to keep her company. She stays away and later runs into the hero by accident. Hero still mad. Heroine still will not tell but she cannot hurt him. Like she did not already by leaving him. He is angry that he wants her again because she is coldhearted or else she would not have left him. Smexes her because he cannot help it but treats her with coldness because he is still mad. She finally tells him. He eventually forgives her and stops treating her badly. The story ends with HEA. Here it ends in divorce and a promise of remarriage, not a good ending to me.There is something that some author's do in this scenerio that irritates me beyond belief and can impact my enjoyment of the story. Unfortunately that happened here. It is when a hero and heroine have been been in a relationship, break up and the hero has smex OW and the heroine stays celibate. Totally drives me up a tree and I have never understood why another woman would write her character that way. Based on the author's other books I read, I never expected that this author would have her heroine written in this sexist way but I was wrong. It makes it worse when it is for long periods of time. Here, Evie never slept with another man, much less had a boyfriend over a 10 year period. Adam was her one and only lover. Seriously? She became asexual. Are women not suppose to like or need smex? Is it mandatory for a woman to show that she loves someone that she has to go into a deep freeze, never even kissing someone else or getting any type of affection from another man? By the same token, does the hero have to became a manh*e, like Adam did, sleeping with any female that moved, especially if she looked like the heroine? Are we suppose to feel sorry for him needing one night stands? The excuse to is always too that the hero is trying to get over the heroine. It does not matter usually if she left him or he left her. It is always the heroine's fault that he needs OW beneath him to feel better. Also it is also sexist. Since they are men, the heroes need sexy times whereas the heroines don't.What is worse in this case is that they were married during the entire separation because he did not sign and file divorce papers like Evie asked and expected him too Therefore he knew that he was committing infidelity where she had no clue they were still married yet was never with anyone else.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Aww.... By Zili Robins 4 - 4.5 StarsI'm a big Samantha Towle fan-girl and I'm a bit of a sucker for a second chance romance, so this was always going to be winner for me. The story is emotional and intense.We meet Adam and Evie years after they were supposed to get their HEA. They're living apart and are both miserable. Even ten years later Adam still doesn't know why Evie left him after their wedding. Similarly Evie hasn't been able to forget her first love and has been miserable without him.On first glance you could be forgiven for thinking the plot follows the classic 'rich playboy meets poor good girl' narrative, but it's really about so much more. There's drama, heartbreak and loss, but the story is also full of romance, friendship, sexy times and love.I have to admit I did have my suspicions about the big reveal, but it didn't lessen my enjoyment in reading about the events, and getting some answers from Evie. I also enjoyed the time hops. This surprised me as I often find them irritating, but Towle incorporates the flashbacks so seamlessly into the plot that I really liked them.The moment when Evie and Adam meet again is intense and kinda stressful, but Holy chemistry batman! There are lots of naughty scenes, so this ones not for younger readers.I liked Adam and even though he was very different from Towle's ultimate BBF creation, the dream that is Jake Wethers, I loved his dedication, swagger and charm. Evie is sweet and thoughtful but she's not a pushover. Without dwelling too much on Towle's other books, I was pleased to see Evie wasn't Tru or Andi 2.0!I'd love to read more about Casey or Max please Samantha...I received a review copy.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Underwhelming. Overdone Male Pov. Detached. By Dreamer 1.9865433 STARS.First and foremost, Towle is my guilty pleasure author. I mean, Revved, right? COME ON, that was HOT, even in its frustrating, pull-my-hair-and-eat-my-eyelashes kind of way. But it was HOT because the hero was glorious and there was that sizzling chemistry.I hate having to be negative. Ugh, it pains me to be negative, but....I have to. The blurb was so alluring. The five stars were tempting me to buy this book. "Come on, Dreamer," they chanted, "purchase it! Revved, right? Purchase.IT.NOW!!!!" and against my better judgment, and my pitiful bank account balance after purchasing a thousand other books this very week, I purchased it.Again, usually, I like this author.Usually.Revved. Come on. Revved.But this...*Cringe* This was so underwhelming. Imagine being in front of an ice cream parlour, and you're staring at all the flavours, but suddenly the owner comes and says, "No flavours, Dreamer. Just vanilla.""But...Vanilla is Vanilla, ice cream man. I've had it too many times. Give me something else. Something different.""No," Ice cream man retorts. "Just Vanilla. Vanilla or GTFO."This was.... Vanilla, and I wanted a taste of something else, something different.It didn't even start off well, and that was immediate red flags. Like, legit, the passages seemed repetitive. I kept thinking, "yeah, I know that already because you MENTIONED it on the PREVIOUS PAGE OR TWO." Maybe the target audience was for little Dory's who forget every five minutes, or something. But I'm not Dory. .I'm Marlon, the freaking fish that gets aggravated at repetition.The main issue I had was the POV of the male. He sounded like a female. The voice seemed forced, like, "yeah, I'm a man, I like chicks, and I like sticking my poker inside their holes, arrrghh yeah, total man, total shmex machine, yarrr...but man, this chick, I never had to ask a girl out, y'know? like, arghh man, she's not falling for my charms" ............................. It just didn't work for me. Not at all.Adam was no Carrick. Not that I want a duplicate character. Not at all. But I wanted someone equally as hot. I know this author is wonderful. She has it in her to deliver mouth watering people because...Revved, right? Sighhh.And the way they met again in the first 10 percent. I didn't feel ANYTHING. Terrible execution. Word to the author, it would have been better if you had the build up between the couple in the beginning. Instead of this back and forth past and present BS, why not execute the past first so we can feel for the characters first? Imagine the first part ending with her leaving him. I mean, ZOMG that would have been heart wrenching. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the past moments, but the back and forth didn't work. I needed consistency. Instead, the characters felt hollow to me. Right from the get-go, it was hollow, like I was staring at paper people.I skimmed the book straight after realizing I was not going to emotionally connect with people who just didn't feel authentic. I don't even remember their names anymore. I feel like I've read this a hundred times before.Let me just get to the point.You want predictable?You want a heroine who is dumb as a doorknob for walking away from her husband for the most ridiculous reason? (And on that note, for rejecting his help with the sick sister thing... I mean, when it comes to providing the best treatment possible, would you really care about being a charity case even though you know you aren't because this man loves you. You'd take that treatment by the balls and say, "thank you!!!!")You want an overdone male who has played the mambo mattress with countless women to the moon and back and probably has a thousand STDs? (even though he said he was clean, which always ruins a moment when you're reading a book and there is heat and passion and before poker shoves through hole, they have the std talk... mood kill)If it's check, check, check, then have a freaking awesome ball with "When I was Yours"....For me? I was never yours.Ever.E.V.E.R.Everrrrrrrrr.Unless you're Carrick.Because Revved, right?I'll still read more Towle because I adore her writing.There.Done.Bye.
