Hollywood's biggest star first belonged to me.
Breaking up with your high school sweetheart was one thing.
Breaking up with Hollywood’s favorite actor? That was a different
situation.
I’d been in love with Aiden Walters since I was a little girl. We’d
grown up as neighbors in small town Wisconsin. I knew him inside and out, and
he knew every single piece of me. I was there when his career took off, and I
was almost certain I’d always be a part of his life.
It wasn’t until a scandal broke out that I was forced to end things with
Aiden. He didn’t take it very well. The boy I once loved began to hate me. He
went off to California to leave all of his past behind—including me.
Five years later, he was back in town for the next few months taking
care of some family business. He was staying in the only hotel in our small
town. The hotel I now oversaw. For the next few months, I’d be forced to cater
to the man who’s heart I’d broken all those years ago. The man who resented me.
The man who swore he’d never speak to me again.
Now that
he was back in town, in constant connection with me, I had to keep reminding
myself daily of why I ended things with him in the first place. Otherwise, I’d
find myself falling in love with him all over again. Only this time, I was
certain that if I’d fell, he wouldn’t be willing to catch me.
Hailee + Aiden
They grew up together in Wisconsin. Their parents are friends and neighbors. But Hailee and Aiden kinda hated each other as kids. They had to be together all the time!
But when they were twelve things changed. They became friends. The bestest of friends.
Until Aiden went to Hollywood to become a star.
But he came back after a year to finish Highschool with his bestie.
But then he left again. Heartbroken.
And now - years later - he's back and he hates Hailee. Right?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
Another beautiful Brittainy book!
I loved reading this.
We kind of get two books here. The first starts when our darlings are eight years old and ends when they're 18. And it's such a beautiful story. But also so very hard and sad and heartbreaking. They're struggling a lot with bullies and bodies and parents and life.
And then they don't talk to each other for five years until Aiden comes back home for a few months for a little Hollywood break.
Hailee is working in the only hotel in town and obviously Aiden is staying there.
Of course we hope that we'll get an insta reconciliation and we'll ride off into that happily ever after sunset asap.
But Aiden is still so very angry and heartbroken.
They still love each other - they're each other's person for life.
It won't be easy to get to that happy end - but the reader will enjoy (and hate) every single page on the way to that HEA!
I just loved Hailee and Aiden. Both have their own problems but they're just so perfect together. They shouldn't have let other people control their lives and choices so much. But life is hard and they only wanted what's best for people.
This was a really great love story. With not many of those unnecessary misunderstandings that I hate so much. I could've lived without the five years apart - but it was only five years. That's totally survivable. Even though they way they sometimes talk and act, they seem to think it was 15 years - especially with Brittainy always writing ALL THOSE YEARS AGO. LOL! I sometimes forgot that they were just 23 in the second part of the book. It all felt a bit older to me. Maybe the five years they were apart were more years in a previous version of the book? Anyway - doesn't matter - the book was really great!
I loved that we got to see the three guys from the previous books in the series again!
NORTHERN STARS was another beautiful Brittainy Cherry love story. Sweet. Heartbreaking. Funny. Romantic. Just Adorable.
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Aiden - this one is MINE! ☺
