I had a hard time getting into this and was pretty bored. The characters felt flat and I thought it lacked emotion. I finally DNF'd 3/4 of the way through because I didn't care any more what happened. Life is too short to read a book you don't like.

This book as a second chance romance was definitly enjoyable but this is also a very emotional book, I know it was for me.. Both characters have their lives and their dreams but after a disaster old feelings appear and well, Eve and Foster can continue them or ignore them and the decision is pretty obvious

Eve and Foster attempted to move on with their lives when their whirlwind marriage failed, but five years later on the anniversary of their wedding, both are still struggling to come to terms with what should have been. Eve is busy working as an ER nurse, and Foster is still chasing his dreams as a motocross pro. Old feelings bubble to the top at inopportune moments and this time, the distraction lands Foster in Eve's emergency room, seriously hurt. With nobody to care for him, Eve takes over, unable to just let him be alone. As Eve cares for Foster, they must sort out their feelings as well as the truth, in order to move on with their lives. Is fate giving them a second chance for love?

The characters were likable and their situation was full of conflict. I enjoyed their banter and respected the struggles they faced. There were a lot of tough emotions throughout the story.

Thanks to NetGalley, Aimee Brown, and Boldwood Books for the ARC copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review.

A super cute rom com! It was a quick and easy read and I flew through it in no time! I love a second chance trope and this one was no exception! The characters were likeable and I loved the witty banter!

I’m actually not a fan of second chance romances. I always think that it would have worked out the first time if it was meant to work. Anyway, I always stay away from them but this was automatically offered to me on NetGalley, and I was in the mood for a romance, so I decided to read it anyway. It was great!!

I thought this was a great love story. Couldn’t help dm but fall in love with these two characters. Definitely a great, swoony read and pretty well written .

Eve and Foster met at one of his FMX races and immediately hit it off. After a whirlwind 30 day romance, they decide to elope but neither one of them were ready for marriage. After everything fell apart, Eve left him with only a note and hadn't heard or seen him since. Five years later Eve is working in the ER as a trauma nurse when a critical patient comes in and to her shock it's Foster. Her heart can't let someone she used to love be alone while he's fighting for his life. The more time she spends at his beside the less she wants to leave... until she's agreeing to him moving in with her so she can nurse him back to health. Maybe she can work through her feelings and finally get closure.
This was a sweet clean second chance romance with realistic characters and a satisfying HEA.

Still the One is a light, fun romance to read during the holidays.. Readers will enjoy the witty dialogue and lovable characters and root for them to find love again!

Eve and Foster was love at first sight. They were married within a month. But broken up soon after with hardly any spoken words. Five years later, they meet again in the worst circumstances.

Forced proximity, second chance love. I enjoyed the side characters but I felt like the story and characters lacked development and depth. The story was pretty linear.

It is a happy ending and I enjoyed the last chapter.

A joy from start to finish. Romantic and relatable. Love finds us at the right time and that’s what this book gets at. Both main characters were a joy to get to know.

4.5 🌟
This book was super cute! Definitely what I look for in my RomCom books. I love when books change perspectives in love stories. It makes it easy to connect with both characters. And (obviously) I was rooting for them the whole time!

Took off half a star for two reasons… 1) because many times the cadence was just off - like scene changes would happen where there should’ve been a page break and there wasn’t. 2) I can’t say that this RomCom vibe book actually made me laugh. But I did get all the warm, fuzzy, lovey feelings, so that made up for it in my eyes.

Overall, I really liked this book, but I didn’t LOVE it.

This is my first review with #NetGalley and I’m looking forward to getting more sneak peaks of new books!

A very different book to what I would normally choose today as this is quite a sweet romance novel that is mostly talk rather than action and set in the US, which is not something I normally look for in a romance book. I normally like mine a little grittier than this, which is a completely ‘closed door’ romance which features nothing more daring than a little chaste kissing on the page.

I’m not sure whether this will qualify as a ‘sports romance’ as, although the male protagonist is a successful, professional FMX rider, there is not much of his riding on the page, as he has a serious accident very early on in the book, which forms the inciting incident. Maybe someone more knowledgable in the genre than I will be able to tell me! Again, sports romances are not something than usually attracts me, but, despite this book being out of my normal romance-reading comfort zone, I found myself very much enjoying it, proving that it is good to widen your horizons from time to time!

The book is set in Portland, Oregon – a place I have always wanted to visit – so this was a big selling point for me and I enjoyed the parts forays out into the city. However, as Foster is seriously injured from fairly early on in the book, the action (such as it is) is mainly confined to the hospital and the inside of Eve’s apartment. And, given that Foster is injured, there is very little in the way of actual ‘action so, if you require a lot of ‘happening’ rather than talking in your books, this isn’t going to work for you. However, there are some parts that flashback a few years to when the pair first met that see them out and about – their first meeting is a highlight – and when Foster starts to improve- you’ll want to watch out for their evening at a country music bar which was my favourite scene of the book.

All of this being said, the characters are so strong and the chemistry between them – despite being not at all spicy on the page – is palpable and this carries the book really well despite the confines of setting and plot arc. I loved both Eve and Foster and was invested in their whirlwind romance from the beginning. This was a really sweet read with two great characters and fantastic tension and a satisfying ending. A big thumbs up from me.

When Eve's ex-husband Foster still has her listed as his emergency contact 5 years after they broke up, she can't let him wake up with no one by his side. Eve spends more time with Foster and even agrees for him to move in with her while he's recovering. As much as Eve cares for Foster and has been unable to find love in their time apart, she isn't sure if she can forgive him for prioritising his career over her.

This book was certainly emotional, and kept me wanting to find out more! I would class it as a second-chance romance, which I don't usually enjoy but the emergency contact plot made it interesting. I enjoyed the book, but it felt like there were a few things missing and that they solved their issues too quickly. One thing I really liked was reading the dual point of view.

I thoroughly enjoyed Eve and Foster's story. Aimee Brown does an excellent job of deeply examining their relationship, both through flashbacks and the characters thoughts in the present.

‘Maybe we needed to lose ourselves before we could truly find each other?’

This book was engaging and I liked the whole "exes being in close proximity to each other due to an accident" part. The first few chapters were really easy to get into but after a while, I felt like the story wasn't moving forward. There were definitely some pent up feelings between Foster & Eve but I didn't really feel the chemistry between them. Also, the flashbacks were were wishy-washy and didn't make me feel anything. The main conflict about these two living in two different cities was also resolved very quickly in the epilogue and I was expecting some angst because of it, but unfortunately the last half was very abrupt. The plot definitely had potential but the execution could've been better imo.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review

It is really difficult for me to decide on a star review to this book.

On one hand, I really adored the writing of this author, the way everything was described was amazing; I connected so much with the main characters and I loved reading the little glimpses into their past, as well as reading their conversations.

But, on the other hand, the third break up act really upset me, because it made no sense, considering all their conversations leading up to this point. Also, I absolutely hated the side characters.

All in all, it is a 3.5 star read, that I rounded up to 4 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Five years after their break-up, Eve still hasn’t found a reason to believe in true love. But when her ex-husband Foster has an accident and she discovers she’s still listed as his next of kin, Eve knows she can’t let him wake up in hospital with no one by his side. After all, those devilishly blue eyes have always been hard to say no to…

Foster isn’t sure if his poor battered brain is playing tricks on him when he sees the only woman he’s ever loved sitting next to his bedside. Maybe Eve never got over him like he never got over her? And when Eve agrees to him moving into her one-bedroom apartment to recover, it’s clear these exes have unfinished business.

I really loved this book! From the very first page, I was interested and couldn't wait to see what happened! I am also a nurse, so I could really relate to Eve and the emotional role coaster she was taking when Foster came into her ER. I loved the dual POV's, getting to see the internal struggle of both Eve and Foster as they navigate the unusual situation they are in. They are both very loveable characters and show tremendous growth throughout the story. I really enjoyed the side characters as well and felt they added to the storyline. This was a slow-burn, closed door romance with a HEA. I would definitely recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for my honest review.

"Still The One" by Aimee Brown is a well-crafted second-chance romance full of delicious tropes and interesting characters.
Neighbor Phil definitely stole the show!
Overall, "Still The One" is a warm and sweet read that explores the concepts of true love, forgiveness, and compromise. Ideally suited for fans of closed-door romance novels.

I sadly DNF'd this book as much as i was gripped by the description and the cover. I love a slow burner however felt this was way too slow and left me wanting more and more and i soon become bored of the story.

Loved the overall characters eve and foster but would of enjoyed it more if we got more details about their past.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this arc, net galley and the publisher :)

An endearing second chance romance. Married after a one month whirlwind romance, Eve found the weeks apart from Foster to be seriously hard. She felt second to his motorcycle daredevil career. After three lonely months, she left him and divorced. However, the love never died and when he is seriously injured in a stunt gone wrong, she is enlisted to nurse him back to health. Life then takes many turns for both of them.
A very sweet and engaging romance.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of the book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Still. The One was an okay romance if you believe in getting back together after a break up. The MMC is a major risk-taker and once the FMC got over the fascination and the thrills she moved on into a more settled lifestyle and a stable job she loved. When he ends up in the motorcycle accident of her worst nightmare, she discovers she still cares. She cares enough to sit by his hospital bed and take him home for follow-up care.

The actual basis of relationship between these characters seems shallow and immature. Aside from the oft-mentioned sexual attraction there seems to be little reason for the FMC to give so much time and attention to this man. Over their five years apart he has not shown any inclination beyond an annual online posting to change anything. I know people often believe a big shake-up can change the direction of one's life, but in the case of addiction to thrill/risk-taking that's a big IF.

I appreciate the opportunity Aimee Brown and NetGalley offered to read this ARC in exchange for a review.
