Unwanted by Marley Valentine

5.0

This was hard. We have two men from rocky beginnings who fell madly in love when they were kids and one of them went down a road the other couldn't follow. After a few years apart, Frankie's brother has a medical issue and gets called home in a hurry where he gets to see what was left behind when he fled town. Arlo isn't over being abandoned and things are rocky at first.

This was lovely. The book was full of hard stuff but these two were endgame from the reunion on. Arlo gave Frankie a hard time for leaving but that was the only way he could save himself. I liked seeing these two come back to each other as the new and improved versions of themselves because they both deserved it.

I'm very much looking forward to more books in this series.
