The Day He Came Back reminded my why I love Penelope Ward’s book so much. This story was a beautifully written second chance romance. Raven and Gavin’s story was emotional, it was heartbreaking, it was beautiful and it was everything a second chance should be.

There was an instant connection between Raven and Gavin. They knew they only had the summer, that their relationship was forbidden but that didn’t keep them from spending time together. That is until everything came crashing down around them.

This story is told from both Raven and Gavin’s point of view and is split into two parts. Part One is their initial summer together. We learn the events of what happened during their short lived relationship. Part two is the future. Ten years later. The day Gavin came back.

The emotion in this book got to me. The sacrifices Raven made to protect everything. The slow burn. I LOVED every single moment of this story and of Gavin and Raven’s relationship.

Penelope Ward knocked it out of the park with this book. A MUST READ and one of my favorites by her!
