Love You, Always

Really enjoyed this story and author style. i will read more of her books and liked this one. I have to get the first one to read now. Will read more.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This had me hooked from the beginning!! I love how they were friends first and grew up and in love! I like the little suspense added in about why it didn’t work and why hearts were broke! Second chance romances are one of my favorites and this one didn’t disappoint!

Thank you to NetGalley and the author Lauren Lacey, for the opportunity to read a copy of "Love You, Always".

This book follows Parker Waylen & Jackson Sands - and it takes place in the small town of Beverly Mills, Georgia. If you're looking for a southern romance that allows you to feel all sorts of emotions, including but not limited to laughter, tears, and love. It is a second-chance, childhood friends to lovers romance that is filled with all of the drama and spice that you could ever hope for in a novel. You need to read in order to find out why these two main characters are destined to be soulmates!

Overall, I rated this novel 4/5 stars!

Parker Waylen is a doctor, daughter, big sister, and best friend, but most importantly, she’s the love of Jackson Sand’s life. They forged a friendship at a young age and promised to always love one another, no matter what. Life's thrown numerous obstacles their way, but through it all, their bond still remains unbreakable. Jackson’s brokenness once broke Parker, but no matter who she meets or how wonderful that man may be, no one can ever compare to Jackson.

Jackson Sands is a man of few words but his thoughts have always consumed him and the only two people who understand him the best are also the two people who no longer exist in his life. From childhood to adulthood, he endures struggles that many people can’t handle in one lifetime, but through the memory of these two important women, he finds a way to tap into his strength and evolve into the man they always believed him to be.

Parker and Jackson may have broken up years ago, but now they’ve both returned back home to Beverly Mills, and it’s their last chance to figure out if their love story is meant to be or if they should finally let go of their fantasy of a happily ever after together.

This is a Southern love story based in Beverly Mills, Georgia – a rustic beach town that centers around family, friends, love, and community. Fall in love with characters who support one another and lift each other up, but also dish out tough love and don't hold back from the truth. And the truth is, love isn’t always easy, but for Parker Waylen and Jackson Sands, easy was never quite their cup of tea.

If you love to read emotionally compelling romance novels with a spicy twist then this beautifully written love story will warm your heart and keep you engaged. Be prepared to laugh, smile, cry, get angry, and fall in love with the devotion and love between Jackson Sands and Parker Waylen as they fight for one another through good, bad, and ugly times.

Perfect amount of everything that makes a second chance romance work. My first read by Lauren Lacey and certainly not my last. Cannot wait to read more of her works. Will recommend to others.

This book is so good. I really enjoyed it and it kept me wanting to know what was going to happen at the end. It was entertaining and I highly enjoyed it.

I will definitely be picking up more by this author!
One of my favourite tropes, childhood friends to lovers! I was rooting for them the entire time and I found it to be a very emotional read but one I couldn't put down!
I loved the chemistry between the characters and the author dealt with sensitive issues and trauma with delicacy.

Parker and Jackson fell in love when they were just kids. They love each other deeply but throughout the years life tests their love.
The story is told in present time but it moves back through flashbacks. That way we know all that has happened in between. Most of all through Parker's eyes. But some chapters are told by Jackson, too.
I liked this story a lot. It's a love story full of tragedies. But it is hopeful and it's very well told.
There were some moments when I disliked Jackson and I would have slapped him. But his evolution, and Parker's too, during the novel is beautiful.
A totally recommendable book.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book.

THIS BOOK!!!!! Oh my god. I was hooked from the beginning. I did not want to out this book down. I wish I could read it forever,

This book deserves so much more hype! I know it’s written by an indie author but my goodness,
it’s soooo good! I love the characters. The emotions displayed through just words is so compelling. I felt so connected and I love how well the writer chronicled everyone’s lives. This book is a must read! I laughed, I cried, and said OMG so many times! I’ve recommended it to all my friends. I look forward to the next book in the series.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Parker and Jackson. They have known each other all their lives. They dated in high school and college. They went their separate was when Parker went to medical school and Jackson went to the NFL. They each had issues but together they worked it out and fell in love and got married.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.
I wasn't sure about this one but it was pretty good.
