This is the first book I have read by Carrie Aarons and I have several sitting on my kindle that I can’t wait to get to. Hometown Heartless is an emotional second chance romance. Everett and Kennedy are two characters you can’t help but love and two characters you want to be together and overcome their demons.

Promises were made between Kennedy and Everett, promises that Kennedy didn’t think would ever happen. Everett went off to war, a year later he was missing and pronounced dead. Now, the man she thought was forever gone is back, but there is something different about him. He isn’t the same.

Everett is broken, he is suffering. He experienced more pain and suffering than anyone could imagine. Despite that Kennedy is there for him. She had changed, too. She had see pain and loss in the time he had been gone.

Everett and Kennedy had chemistry from the start. They grew up as neighbors and friends but never anything more. Now that he is back the chemistry is still there and it is time to make good on those promises from years ago.

Hometown Heartless is a beautifully written, emotional second chance romance.
