From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a passion- and angst-charged story about a woman caught between a secure relationship and a once-in-a-lifetime spark with her muse.

They say first loves are oftentimes the end of one’s innocence.

Those words couldn’t ring truer for Everlynne Lawson, whose first brush with romance came with a heartbreak…and the thing that seems to follow her everywhere she goes. Death.

After a great tragedy, Everlynne loses all she cares about―her dreams, her family, and her soulmate, Joe.

Guilt-ridden, Everlynne decides to isolate herself in Salem, Massachusetts. A shell of the woman she once was, she takes her days one at a time, careful not to allow herself the joy she believes others in her life were robbed of. But when the mysterious, handsome Dominic storms into her life, it becomes more difficult to stay in solitude. Dominic is different: adventurous, joyous, with lust for life and a passion to make her his.

Everlynne is on the cusp of reinventing herself once again when the old wounds of her past are resurrected, rawer than ever. There is nothing worse than being in love with two men.

Especially when one of them hates you.

Popular Highlights in this book

But see, forgiving people who hurt us is not about those people at all. It is about choosing to move on with our lives. Letting go of the grudges. Healing without depending on someone else’s journey.

You goddamn know Presley was never in the race. Joe shuts me up with a dirty, violent kiss. As long as you have breath in you, no one else stands a chance.

They’re not wrong. I have no idea what I’ll do. Because even in the best of times, I’ve always been torn. Between the man I am about to bury. And the man standing behind my back.

Beautifully written! So emotional, raw, and complex. I had a very hard time putting this book down. This book will make you want to cry one second and the next throw your book/kindle across the room. I just wanna smack some sense into Everlynn because she’s so scared of being with Joe in fear something bad will happen to him.

🥀Love Triangle 🥀Soulmates 🥀Second Chance . “If you were mediocre, you wouldn’t be running circles in my head.” . Review: First off, let me just say that LJ Shen is one of my favorite authors! I absolutely love her books. This book was completely different from LJ Shen's usually stories and I know she stepped out of her comfort zone and it definitely paid off.

Oh my gosh! I absolutely devoured this book! If I could have read it in one day, I would have. I was also glad I got to savor it for a little longer though. Would you choose the Love of Your Life or your Soulmate? I'm usually afraid of Love Triangles because I am affraid I will fall in love with the hero that the heroine doesn't choose. But when your favorite author writes a Love Triangle...you trust her and dive in! I'm so glad I did because I LOVED it and it is sooo much more than just a Love Triangle! Also, LJ Shen is a literary genious! The way she created the characters names, the meaning and connection of the title and how it all wove together perfectly. It is a work of art!

I am going to be very vague because I don't want to give anything away. This book is a beautiful and emotional roller coaster. I definitely recommend having tissues near by. The angst and heartbreak had me crying like a baby at times, but I loved it. I love when a book can truly make you feel what the hero or heroine is going through. That is the gift a skilled author. My heart broke for Everlynne at times and at others I wanted to smack her upside the head.😂 The banter, chemistry and passion was perfection. I felt every emotion. I swooned for both of our heroes at different points. The emotional turmoil Everlynne went through trying to choose between two very different men was so powerful. The plot twists kept me on my toes. The journey is rough, but sooooo worth it! Smoker Dude versus Mr. Perfect...who will Everlynne choose? Don't miss this one!!! I highly recommend it! This is definitely a top 2022 read for me!😍
