Review / Release Blitz: The Life We Left Behind (Willowbrook #1) by Piper Wylde

The Life We Left Behind by Piper Wylde is now live!

Trace Farrington was the love of my teenage life, until his family ran me out of town, heartbroken and pregnant. They told me he didn't want me any more. When he never came to find me, I had no choice but to believe them.

Now my father has passed away, and I have to return to Willowbrook. The old farmhouse needs closing up and the funeral arrangements made. It's the least I can do for the man who always supported me.

But returning to Willowbrook means facing the Farringtons and seeing Trace again.

I should be angry with him. I shouldn't want anything to do with him, but when we meet, old feelings resurface and I'm lost. We aren't teenagers anymore, and with age has come wisdom and maybe even forgiveness.

Trace wants a second chance, but I have no idea what I want anymore. I'm a mother now, and starting over isn't just about me.

Emotions and tempers are running high. Can we put the past behind us, or are there larger things at play keeping us apart? Things set into motion all those years ago.

MY REVIEW

Delaney and Trace had that beautiful kind of love that first love usually is. She thought they were heading into a happy future together, until his wealthy family, apparently with his approval, ran her out of town and tried to buy her off so she'd keep herself and their soon to come baby away from their "upstanding" family. Since then she, with the help and support of her best friend, have raised Cade, and she's tried her best to get over Trace. But she's back in her hometown now that her father has passed, and running into Trace again has brought up all those old feelings again...

Trace never got over his first and only love leaving him. But when she comes back home to deal with her father's estate, he sees a second chance he never thought he'd have, and the possibility of even more - a family. Delaney's his soulmate, now it's time to make her remember that again.

I cannot believe this is a debut novel! It's so well written, so beautifully told that it's hard to believe this is Piper's first. Delaney is a strong woman with a huge heart, her son is an adorable little guy who's practically his father's mini me. And then there's Trace, the sweetest Golden Retriever hero who had never gotten over his first love. Their chemistry had only strengthened in the decade they'd been apart, but it took some work on both their parts to get past all the pain they'd both suffered. Lest I forget about Delaney's ride or die best friend, Blake, I have to mention how much I loved her character. Not only is she the most loyal, supportive friend, she's absolutely hilarious. I just know she's got an interesting backstory, one I am hoping will come soon, along with Trace's awesome brothers' stories. I'm officially a fan of Piper's now, and can't wait for more Willowbrook falling in love.
