BLURB
Savannah
This town ain't big enough for the two of us.
Which is why I left.
I was determined never to return to Hale, Texas. But when my new life in the Big Apple throws me a curve ball, I have to go back to tie up loose ends. One of those being him.
Jason Whitney was my first everything. Kiss, love, epic heartbreak. He shattered my world once upon a time, and apparently, he’s not done yet.
With old demons lurking around every corner, hightailing it out of my hometown is at the top of my list. Complete my unfinished business, and I get to leave any memory of my country existence behind.
Only, with each day I spend in it, with each moment I spend with him, I’m turning back into the girl who laid in the tall grass and swam in the creek all those years ago.
And I’m not sure that who I was is ready to let me go again.
Jason
We drew a line down the middle, and neither of us has crossed it.
That is, until Savannah Reese blew back into our hometown.
The day my high school sweetheart left, she took my whole heart with her. We promised each other forever, made plans that only teenagers could believe in, and crashed and burned on the grandest of scales.
When Savannah last saw me, I was a disgraced high school athlete. All washed up, I took it out on the only person who loved me. Then her world really fell apart, and I was too selfish to care.
Now she’s back, ready to sell the only remaining thing tying us to each other. I’ve been breaking my back for the last ten years not to think about her, not to be reminded of the love we shared.
But now that she’s right here, it’s impossible to forget how we used to be. Or let go of what we still are.
MY OPINION
I really like books written by Carrie Aarons. They are so sweet, warm and totally homely.
„That's the Way I Loved You” is the next book from this author, which I've read.
And I totally love it.
The small town, country scenery and two adult people, which need a second chance to love each other.
Savannah returns to her family town from New York, she wants to close everything here and come back to her boyfriend, which is the Wall Street businessman. She is really sceptical to back to home, but the things must be done and she has not have choice.
First day at home is unusuall, becasue Sav meets her exboyfriend Jason.
Ah! Jason Whitney is a perfect bookish boyfriend for all of us. I really love this guy and his attitude to life. He is a simple, country man. He is clever, generous and totally helpful. Like perfect „neighborhood guy”. I don't know how Carrie Aarons does this, but all of hers heroes I totally love from the first page.
The chemistry between Savannah and Jason are like pure hell. It is slow burn, but when it all finally started, everything burn. The tension between these heroes, love and hate (yes! Both of them) are so good in this story. I was in this book from the first page and I totally love „That's the Way I loved You”.
In the end I must say, that Carrie Aarons knows how to write a really good story with a simple plot. This was a powerful and emotional book and I think that „That's the Way I loved You” will be with me really long time.
